I haven't seen anything in the theater since the final Avengers movie. :(

If you're looking for something new to watch though, the new Dark Crystal series on Netflix is fucking brilliant.

So going back to SNES games... Anyone remember The Lion King on SNES? God I needed ages in the fire cave to figure out that I could smash those rocks with my paws :mrgreen: Lion King (along with Aladdin) are getting the remaster treatment and will be coming out for all platforms on Oct 29. You're w...

We definitely need an announcement! We have drifted of to NES games and used cars salesmanship

You say this like it's a bad thing...

I bought it mostly expecting it to be a novelty, but am really surprised how much I’ve used it. Switch has become my first option for multi-platform games now. I travel a lot for work, so the portability is great. Zelda, Super Smash, Final Fantasy X, XII, and VIII remasters, Dead Cells, Slay the Spi...

Moving into Friday afternoon/evening in Vancouver, which historically is one of the most common time periods for announcements. Kinda given up giving a shit though, to be honest! I'm about to go out and spend some of my 70K money on a Nintendo Switch :P I've been playing Fire Emblem Three Houses on...

Good choice, I love my Switch.

Been playing Astral Blades (sci-fi action game) and Fell Seal (tactical RPG) this week, both are fantastic.

The FB bot/troll posted this today, in case anyone missed it.

Yes, the Payment Plan will be available for when tickets go on sale :) We can't wait to see you on board!

Not quite sure how that’s gonna work.

Here’s my working theory. Whichever big name band (or bands) they had lined up backed out at the last minute. So they’re either trying to figure out how to get them back, or scrambling to find replacements that would be worthy of headliner status for a “milestone” event in Round X. As a result, I’m ...

Headed to Vegas tonight, so it will likely be ALL THE THINGS!

If that's the case, I hope the new system will have a server crash proofed fail safe when we will all try to book at the same time...

Not a chance. I'm guessing that whatever they do at this point will be a complete clusterfuck.

the silence always makes you wonder whether the cruise is going to happen at all, so you don't necessary want to spent your money on flights and accommodation for early January Florida holiday if the cruise doesn't happen. That's been my concern as well, and why I haven't booked any flights or hote...

Yet more pool girl pics today.

Hey UMC



(I mostly just wanted a good excuse to use that GIF because I think it's hilarious)

I don’t give two shits about Demons & Wizards...can we just get some goddamn bands?!? "Big surprises" can mean the first 2 announcements will be Dead Cross and Disturbed. SURPRISE!!!!! While Dead Cross was - by far - the worst band I’ve seen in my 4 cruises, I’d absolutely LOVE to see them now that ...

Clearly, we’re running out of sensible things to say.
Time for an announcement.

This assumes we had anything sensible to say to begin with.

(and yes, we need announcements)

I'm seriously disappointed by the lack of news. That is, more disappointed than usual. I've completely lost my motivation for this cruise. Didn't even get to participate on the wishlist and I'm seriously considering stepping down next year. I'm usually so hyped about the boat, I've been on the last...

Last gig: Bell Witch
Next gig: Tyr (on my birthday, even!)

I'm a little surprised that 70K is still trolling people on FB with photos from last year at this point. They posted yet another one today.

But maybe I shouldn't be.

I nearly jumped outta my chair and then read the 5 months post and....then...slowly sat down and felt the misery seep in again. Sigh......speaking of Sigh, let's get them onbroad please!? https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OfOKC-Uo7hQ/WpcwyLVPsyI/AAAAAAAAGqo/WP7uU0a1OSs_nHv38m2Mwg5yrifARXl2gCLcBGAs/s1600/5...

Sheesh, now I feel bad about bitching about my prices. They’re nothing compared to what y’all will have to pay.

Sorry, my down under friends.

Bell Witch played for 30 minutes as the headliner last night. Played one long song (which was fantastic), then packed up their gear and just...left. Everyone in the crowd was left saying “wait, that’s it?”

It was really weird, glad the show was only $12.

Just grabbed tickets to see Bell Witch tomorrow night. I've never seen slooooooooooow funeral doom live before. I really enjoyed their last two albums (although I have to be in the right mood for them), and am really interested to see how it translates into a live setting. Bonus: One of the opening ...

(Just some random bitching as we wait for SOOOOOOOOON) Started checking into flights this afternoon...kinda wishing I hadn't. It's depressing I do lots of work travel, and the only way I can afford to do 7OK is to use my Delta Frequent Flyer miles to get us there and back. The previous 4 cruises we ...

Dallian https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CvP-pW ...

If you like this, check out Atlas Pain. They've got a ...

What's going on with Amon Amarth?

They’re currently touring, and will be in the US this fall with At the Gates and Arch Enemy. Super excited for that show.

Why, is something else going on?

So comparing that to our list for 2020 so far, which 7 would you like to see? :P 67 Amon Amarth 44 Alestorm 44 Amorphis 43 Blind Guardian 34 Be'lakor 34 Insomnium 32 Iced Earth 32 Sabaton 31 Gojira  29 Powerwolf 29 Rotting Christ 29 Wintersun 28 behemoth 28 Emperor 26 Dimmu Borgir 25 Borknagar 25 C...

I don't think I've posted in this thread yet, so here goes: - Aeternam - Aether Realm - Allegaeon - Amiensus - Amon Amarth - Amorphis - Anaal Nathrakh - At the Gates - Barren Earth - Behemoth - Bell Witch - Candlemass - Cynic - Draconian - Dread Crew of Oddwood - Edge of Sanity (hey, a guy can dream...

Turisas on the pool deck in 2016 is my favorite concert memory ever , not just 70K. Some others that stood out: - Allegaeon 2017 (+1 for the infamous Pyramid Lounge set) - Aeternam 2018 (their "fuck you o'clock" pool deck set with the sunrise in the background was amazing) - Fleshgod Apocalypse 2019...

I'd love Aether Realm on broad. Tarot is a brilliant album...but being nearly 2 years old, I'm not sure I'd call it "new".

So bummed that neither their recent tour with Wilderun (who is also amazing) nor the upcoming Gloryhammer tour is stopping here.

Yay, I can finally complain about how utterly awful the square pizza was this year!

Just gonna leave this interesting tidbit I learned on the cruise. Did you know that the In Vain drummer is also the drummer for Ihsahn? I did not know that, I have been listening to Ihsahn all morning. Xenoyr from NeO was wearing a Ihsahn shirt on the boat and they are touring/toured with them rece...

Also, I managed to see 0 of the bands on the list. Whoops.

I saw 4 of them: Carnation, Bodyfarm, Chontaraz, and Dragony.

Carnation was excellent (ice rink was probably the loudest show on the boat), and the rest were just meh.

Me not having a slice of that 70k cake. Still wonder if it was good... IT. WAS. NOT. I've been 5 times and I've never have seen these cakes except in recap vids. Apparantly you have to go directly to the Windjammer after boarding. They actually did two cakes this year. There was one on boarding day...

When the Visions of Atlantis singer sent all the other musicians off-stage and started singing a solo (just her and piano) that sounded suspiciously like something out of the Celine Dion playbook. I find VoA a overly cheesy to begin with, but that display just put it waaaaaaay over the top. About 20...

With so many nations being represented over the years, Im curius now. Is there any nation who has yet to be represented from the survivors who attend to the bands who get announced to play on broad? That's actually a good question. Every time they announce the number of nations, I believe it must b...

Probably the pit during the Fleshgod Apocalypse's Ice Rink show

I lost one of my brand new earplugs during this set. I think I was putting it on/removing it when a crowdsurfer kicked me. Tried looking for it after the show but no dice

Reason 629 why crowdsurfers suck ass.

Yes, all of them.

Probably the pit during the Fleshgod Apocalypse's Ice Rink show. Like cegr80, I don't do pits much anymore, but that one was amazeballs.

The start of "Roots Bloody Roots" would be a close second.

Was good to meet a few of you for, oh, about 30 seconds. LOL Stupid me didn't realize the name tags cost $3. So I came to the bar, quickly said hi to a few folks, then ran back up to my room to get $$. I got totally sidetracked coming back down, and by the time that conversation was over, it was tim...

Was impressed with how smooth most things went. Embarking and disembarking especially so! Same here. Showed up at 11 and were on the boat at noon. Walked right off this morning and got through customs with barely a wait, maybe 15 minutes total. Much better than the nearly 2.5 hours we waited in lin...

Bunch of conflicts, looks like I’ll be missing quite a few I had hoped to catch. Oh well.

I assume Fleshgod’s new album premier will be that closing set, ya?
