Your Lucky Day
You just know things are totally going to rock when you walk into the gym and DragonForce is playing over the inhouse speakers.
If that doesn’t make you want to get in shape and slay monsters then really, nothing ever will and you’re just wasting your time.
I really had grand intentions of coming home from Fitworks and getting some stuff done tonight, but their brilliant choice of music left me no choice but to instead watch DragonForce videos on youtube.
Speaking of Youtube
Looks like they’re updating their flashplayer, as I was watching the videos it suddenly switched over to new shiny one. Leaving me with little option but to test it out by embedding a D-Force video in this very post. oh man today is seriously your lucky day.
- Futuristic post-apocolyptic backdrop complete with spaceships and lightning? — CHECK
- Flying microphone, blasting double kick and spinning drumsticks? — CHECK
- Vicious duelling guitar solos? — CHECK
- A Keytar? — CHECK
- Seriously, A KEYTAR!! — CHECK
I told you it was your lucky day.
Warning!
If you are brave enough to view the following video at work, I am bound by metal law to warn you that there is more than a very good chance your headphones (if you’re wearing them) will literally blow right out of your ears, you will get up on your desk and you will rock the crap out* and possibly seriously injure or kill your co-workers. The Keytar shows up around the 0:23 mark:
*(I almost said “rock the fuck out” but I’m told via email that apparently it’s very unprofessional to swear on your website. So how unprofessional is posting kick-ass metal videos?)
You forgot to put “Comedy” on the check list, and then put a giant CHECK mark next to it.
In the middle of the long guitar battle the lead singer steps aside and enjoys a cup of coffee from a styrofoam cup in front of a blank green screen. Awesome.

Are you psyched for Dragonforce on Guitar Hero III?

@Eric — I didn’t want to give away all the awesome. It’s really one of the best videos in the history of best videos, ever.
@beth — Actually, I’ve never played Guitar Hero. But now I may have to.
@Brad — No.

Technically saying “Rock the fuck out” is cursing, not swearing. If you had said “By Odin! This video rocks the fuck out!” or even more likely “By Odin, if this video rocks the fuck out, I will eat my veggies!” then that would be swearing.
I’d remind your email respondent of the difference;)

Dammit I should have said “By Odin! This video rocks the fuck out!”
I would remind the respondant, but she didn’t leave a real email address when she used the contact form (hence the sarcastic footnote)
