Friday Night Concerts - The Treasure Ship Returns!

Published by Christian at 7:01 pm
Tags: The Treasure Ship, Video Games Live

So normally about this time each Friday, I try to post a video of game music played in a professional or artistic manner. As a music major running a video game site, I love to promote those who combine the world of video games with the world of symphony orchestras, chamber recitals, piano solos… all that good stuff.

This week, I won’t be posting a video. Instead, we’d like to offer you the chance to experience a game music concert on your own, live. We’ve got at least TWO free tickets to the November 15, 2008 VIDEO GAMES LIVE concert at the Chicago Theatre. Those interested in winning the tickets are asked to email us directly and immediately at thetanooki[at]thetanooki[at]com with your name and contact information. Starting at 8pm CST, we’ll bring back our popular Treasure Ship contest, updating with a new chance for points every so often, announcing the winner at noon on Saturday. You’ll have to meet us at the theater to obtain your tickets, but hey, they’re free, so what do you care? :P

The rules are pretty simple: We’ll post some type of trivia challenge in each Treasure Ship post, and the first person to post a comment to that specific Treasure Ship post with the correct answer gets a point. You can only guess/answer once per Treasure Ship post. Whoever has the most points at the end, wins! Check back starting in just about an hour from this post, and check back often over the night and into the morning for your chances to win!

Note: I (Christian) will be doing most of the Treasure Ship posts tonight instead of Matt. I’ve never done this before, so feel free to yell at me and slap the back of my hand if I’m not doing something like he does.

    [...] Speaking of video games and music, the numbers are in for Wii Music’s first two weeks on store shelves, and they’re not all that high. Nintendo’s own Cammie Dunaway, citing NDP figures, says the non-game sold “65 or 66,000″ units. Cammie isn’t worried, though. We’re predicting that it’s going to be an evergreen title. And if you look at titles like ‘Brain Age,’ it’s about the same as what ‘Brain Age’ did during it’s first few weeks and went on to sell 2.5 million copies. ‘Wii Fit’ certainly had a larger launch than that. But I think that people are starting to understand ‘Wii Music.’ [...]
