evening of nerdcore

Well, I didn't finish something I wanted to do today, but going to see MC Frontalot et al. turns out to be pretty fun. I especially liked Megaran, who raps about video games; specifically, he raps about Mega Man, and he got approval retroactively from Capcom. Whoa! (Wim claims that my favorite song was the one about Sephiroth, but I think I might actually have preferred the one based on Log Man's theme from Mega Man 2.)

( All plants are the same )

( Only they need to be sexier, obvsly )

( 'Evolution' )

( Terminology )
