DragonForce returns

 Similar to that Kanye/Drake concert I posted a while back, I stumbled onto another online event. This time, though, it's something way more up my alley: DragonForce, one of the earliest metal bands I ever listened to. I even went to a concert back in high school.

Yeah, Herman Li, their longtime guitarist, is also a streamer on Twitch (I spend a lot of time on there lately...) and he's streaming their concert series with opening acts Firewind, Visions of Atlantis and Seven Spires.

 I caught Firewind and VoA, and it was awesome! The stream quality is on point and you can hear the shredding really well.

 They have these 2 giant videogame arcades set up beside the stage, and now DragonForce just played a song themed after Skyrim. Pretty cool!

Anyway, I'm gonna go catch the rest of the set.

Dutiful sports viewership

 I've been watching the Raptors a lot lately. Like, every game. Pretty much since the pandemic/lockdown started, we're talking years now. I watched them in a bubble in Tampa Bay last year. I never would have expected that I would become a sports fan, and here I am genuinely enjoying watching NBA basketball. I suppose I kinda hopped on the bandwagon after the 2019 NBA championship win. Kinda bummed Kyle Lowry isn't with the team anymore.

Lately, they've been pretty good. Fred VanVleet is playing like an all-star, starting great plays for his teammates and shooting dagger 3s all day long. I admit that I am a part of the "Fred VanVleet Fan Fleet". And Siakam has been really great. And the rookie, Scottie Barnes! So fun to watch.

That's my basketball viewership in a nutshell.

A wild Kanye concert appears

 So it's Thursday night, and like most nights I'm on Twitch for a while, looking at a couple streamers play my favourite games. I then notice that Amazon is promoting some concert, Kanye and Drake. A pretty big deal.

I tune in, and for the first like hour there isn't much, but eventually a crowd of singers populate the stands and they start singing. Twitch comments are mostly clamoring for the stars to show up, but it's not bad.

Eventually Drake and Ye show up, and they hug and stuff. Dunno where Drake went, but DAMN Ye is popping off with CLASSIC HITS. I'm talking Jesus Walks. I'm talking Gold Digger. This is so damn entertaining.

So that's what I'm doing right now. Listening to some artists perform a relief concert for a gangster in prison. Cheers!

Keep the blog runnin'

 Wow. It's been almost exactly a year since I wrote my last post.

 The pandemic is still going. I haven't seen any friends in over a year. Actually, like nothing has changed since this moment last year.

 I lost a lot of motivation to blog... but I didn't want to abandon my blog completely, so here I am. I'm not going to write much, I just wanted to make sure I wrote something because this is the longest break I've ever taken.

 I wish sometimes this was more social, not like Facebook, but that maybe I had other blogger friends.

 Wishing's a start.
