Friday night I went to see Bob Dylan in concert.  For those of you that don't know I am a huge Bob Dylan fan and it's safe to say that Friday night was one of the greatest nights of my life.  Before the show some friends and I caught the train into Boston and got a quick bite to eat at a pizza joint located near the train station.  We actually ended up getting their at the perfect time, as a Celtics game was taking place the same night and green clad fans poured their way right after we found our seats. 
 
Once we killed some time eating pizza and traversed our way through the gathering lines of people, we began to walk to the subway for another short trip to get within walking distance of the theater of the concert.  As we walked the theater came into view and I immediately became like a  little kid on Christmas morning.  I was filled with anticipation of seeing one of my favorite musicians live for the first time in my life.     
 


 As we walked through the entrance of the theater I was stunned at how elegant the theater looked.  There were grand ceiling portraits and stone statues projecting in and out of the walls.  After admiring the appearance of the theater we worked out way up the stairs to our seats.  I ordered the tickets online and got balcony seating and as soon as we got to our seats I had no worries what so ever.  Our seats were fairly close to the edge of the balcony and overlooked the stage at the perfect angle.  Next came to waiting game.  Since we arrived about fifteen minutes early to make sure we had no seating problems we eagerly awaited Dylan to come on stage.   
 

After a few minutes of waiting the lights dimmed and the announcer introduced Bob Dylan.  When he walked on stage roaring applause erupted throughout the theater and then the show began.  He kicked off the show with a song off of my favorite Dylan album, Blonde on Blonde, Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat.  As the night went on I had goosebumps throughout the entire show.  The harmonics of the theater was excellent and the band sounded great and Dylan was spot on.    
  
The set list was comprised of a good mix of older and newer songs, with classics like Just Like A Woman and new songs off of his most recent album, like Beyond Here Lies Nothin'.  For those interested check below for the complete selection of songs played.  My favorite song of the show had to be either Just Like A Woman or Ballad Of A Thin Man.  His rendition of Just Like A Woman was so different than the album and it was very good, that's what makes a Dylan concert so great, you will never hear the same version of a song.  Ballad Of A Thin Man was eerily dark and elegant at the same time with Dylan standing at the microphone enchanting the audience with each lyric sung.  
 

As the night winded down I was left utterly shocked at how amazing the performance was overall.   I had a great time out in the city with my friends and got to see my musical idol in person for the first time in my life.  If there are any other Bob Dylan fans on Giant Bomb (I know there are a few of you out there) I highly recommend getting out and seeing him in concert.

Thanks for reading.

I decided I would at least attempt recording my own Quick Look ripoff, see how it has thingy at the end.  Yeah totally different. 
 
Anyway this week's game is Killing Floor, the zombie survival game that took me by surprise. 
 
So I had to cut the videos in half due to length issues and I kind of skip around on the second video in order to show off some of end round content, if you will.  
 

Part I

 
        

Part II

 
  
      
  
 
Any feedback would be appreciated.  This is my first shot at making one of these videos and hopefully I will make more if people watch them. 
 
Thanks for reading/viewing! 

So I've been wanting to do some sort of video content on my blog for a while now, and since I was starting my playthrough of Time Gentlemen, Please! I decided to record the adventure.  I haven't really gotten too far in the game, maybe fifteen minutes or so into the story, but I've gotten some footage of it. 

 
    
Basically I am posting this as a preview.  If people would not mind, I would like some feedback as to whether or not I should provide some sort of voice narration to liven things up a bit from the scrolls and scrolls of text that appear in the game. 

 
So it's been a while since I wrote one of these up so I gotta play a little catch up with this one. 
  

What I've Been Playing 

   

• Zombie Master

 
Thanks to Steam and the wonders of community mods I have been playing Zombie Master on and off with a friend of mine.  Think Left 4 Dead meets real time strategy.  One dude is the zombie master and spawns zombies around the map from a RTS viewpoint while the survivors playing (playing in the familiar FPS standpoint) must complete a series of objectives and survive in the process.    
 
So far the maps I have played on are pretty different and unique.  For example one map involves the survivors being stuck in a small desert area where they must scrounge for ammo and weapons from an overturned truck then make their way into an abandoned building, all while random tornadoes threaten both the survivors and the zombies themselves.   
 
Anyway this game is pretty fun and offers some good ol' shoot zombies in the face fun and the best part, it's free!   
 

• League of Legends

 
Aside from my favorite past time of capping zombies in the face with a various assortment of weapons, I have been playing the League of Legends beta.  Thanks to KnifeySpoony who was kind enough to send me a beta key, I have been having a pretty good time with this game.  Now I never played Warcraft III or Defense of the Ancients so I have little experience with this sort of game, but I am slowly finding my way.   My first few games online were met with my hero's demise many a times while only getting one or two kills for myself, but it was fun the entire time.  I will most likely buy the game once it is officially released and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys this genre of games. 
 

• Garry's Mod

 
If you check back to the previous Bread Basket you may notice that I had a section entitled 'Games I should Have Been Playing' with Garry's Mod listed there.  Basically I bought Garry's Mod on Steam a few weeks ago and it would crash upon running it, so I emailed Steam support and they were oh so helpful and told me to check their support page (which was obviously the first thing I did before sending the email, duh).  So that helpful email took about a week just to get a reply so I just emailed the Garry's Mod support team instead and they told me that adding a simple string of text to the command line may fix it and what do you know it did.   
 
Now that I am finally able to actually play Garry's Mod a friend and I have been messing around making all sorts of crazy creations, all of which were either blown up or used to squash a bunch of zombies below.  I downloaded some mods and new content to play with, so now I am able to spawn hundreds of Master Chiefs and Jawas, launch a nuke, and sit back and watch from the sky. 
  

New Releases

• Halo ODST

 
The latest installment in the Halo universe was released this week and I must say that my original take on the game has been changed somewhat.  I had little interest in this game at all before its release, but after reading Jeff's review and watching the Quick Look I will probably end up picking the game up.  Now I am not a huge Halo fan, so I cannot totally get behind spending full retail price for an expansion pack.  I do not own any of the Halo 3 map packs, but the addition of Firefight and getting all the maps in one package does make the logic for buying it a little more understandable.   
  

Most Wanted 

• Modern Warfare 2

 
I shouldn't really have to explain my reasoning for being pumped for the sequel to one of my most played games of all time.  All the additional multi player content seems awesome and all, but I am even more excited for the game's campaign.  Call of Duty 4's single player has to be one of my favorite campaigns in a long time, although short it covers a lot more than most shooters.  Yeah so basically, Modern Warfare 2 is going to be rad. 
 

• Left 4 Dead 2 

As mentioned above, I love to kill zombies and what better game is there to kill zombies than Left 4 Dead.  Left 4 Dead was one of my favorite games of 2008 mainly because of its great online cooperative play and immersive game play.  Getting online and running through campaigns on expert was so punishing, yet awesome in a weird sort of way.  Everyone would manage to scrape by the level and just as the safe house was in sight...you hear it.  A tank.  You can hear everyone sigh into their microphones as they make a mad dash to the safe house, but most of the time never make it.   
 

• Borderlands 

 
One of my favorite things in gaming is loot.  Yes I am a loot addict and not afraid to admit it.  I have sunk a ton of time into Diablo II and managed to find Too Human to be alright thanks to the addition of mad loot, as the kids would say.  So when I first heard of Borderlands' combination of first person shooter and role playing, I immediately was stoked.  Since then there have been a ton of game play videos released that show off the game's great visual style as well as some sweet action shots. Plus like a bazillion guns doesn't hurt things either.
