LoneWolf Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Holy trombone on a pogo stick. Protomen were amazing last night. And by amazing, I mean mess your pants and cry to mommy amazing. This was some serious music, deafening loud, incredibly emotional, and about MEGAMAN. My face fell off. This was the single most awesome show that I have ever been to. The set included Will of One, The Hounds, and The Father of Death, among others. The venue was probably 95 degrees Fahrenheit, though. Not even joking. Drank three water bottles and sweated them all out. And the crowd was crammed full of nerds from Penny Arcade Expo West. I saw a Zero and a Cutman cosplay in the crowd. Not to mention that the opening acts were pretty cool. Jhonny Nero Action Hero and Klopfenpop really did a good job of holding up against the wall of facemelt that is Protomen. Oh, and beforehand, I went to Pink Gorilla, a vintage gaming store in the University District of Seattle and picked up a copy of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for my Sega Game Gear. They also had a kickass StarFox statue in the front: Also, the remaining tour dates for the Nothing's Gonna Stop Us now Tour: 26th – Seattle, WA – El Corazon < THIS IS THE ONE I WENT TO 28th – Seattle, WA – Post-PAX Party 29th – Vancouver, BC – Biltmore Cabaret 30th – Spokane, WA – A Club SEPTEMBER 01st – Winnipeg, MB, Canada – IA – Pyramid 7 03rd – Davenport, IA – Redstone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZComposer Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Those Fox statues are quite rare. They were given to some stores as a promo for the SNES Star Fox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redeemer Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 That's an awesome statue! I also once saw a real-life sized Link statue in a game store, it was being raffled off with tickets from each purchase over £50 or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted this reaction. >:3 Lonewolf, sounds like it was an epic night, I wonder if they'll ever appear in the UK... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf Posted August 28, 2011 Author Share Posted August 28, 2011 Yeah, I didn't get pics, but they had a complete Famicom Mini set, with carts, the Famicom colored Gameboy, the whole shebang. The one distributed by club Nintendo. Mind = Blown Anyways, @ Redeemer: Not sure if they will. Not sure if they have the money to do so. Protomen are big, but not that big. It would be cool if someday they did do a worldwide tour though, that would be pretty crazy, especially for a video game-themed band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
