Halon - December 15, 2009 (04:59 PM) I predict -3, though it maybe be as high as +5 and as low as -8. Don't forget this is for an American audience so don't expect Citizen Erased and expect Undisclosed Desires (which they're even playing at every EU show). |

Suskie - December 15, 2009 (06:35 PM) I'll consider it a miracle if they break even. And as far as Undisclosed Desires goes... well, I'm just hoping they come to their senses and realize it's a shit song sometime over the next two and a half months. It'll be an awesome show no matter what, especially since this is the first time I'm seeing them live. I'm just highlighting what I'd consider absolutely ideal. |

zippdementia - December 16, 2009 (01:23 AM) That's awesome. I need to start doing this for video games pre-release. It would've been especially useful in scoring Dissidia. You know... stuff like +10 if Sephiroth and Kefka fight... -10 if the value of having friends is mentioned more than once. |
