Video Games Live Was Great!

The show!
Video Games Live was fun stuff. For the day, we visited first Funland arcade in the city centre then went off to the show. There were some Guitar Hero: World Tour bits going on before it began, too.

The awesome Martin Leung
The show itself was great. All console music, basically, but quite well done mixtures [...]

I’ll upload some pictures I took tonight. I got up late today because of a radiator [...]
