Game On Night 5: Final Round!

Jaymis Loveday — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 07:11:11 +0000

The second-last in the series of Game On nights was to be our last Herovision performance for a while. So no crowd-hyping was required. We had a lineup of sexy geeks pumped up and ready to go!

After the biggest performance yet from the Dark Side, with a whole stage of Sith, and the Dark Lord Vader himself overseeing a performance of the Dark Lord Ozzie’s “Paranoid”:

This was followed by some truly epic and spectacular performances, most notably from a Headcrab-wearing crew “Llamar Fire Aftermath” who treated us to the epic-est of all tracks in Rock Band 1: Boston – Foreplay/Long Time and The Who – Won’t Get Fooled Again.

Game On Night 4: Little Scout, More Empire, More Rocking, More Awesome

Game On Night 4 was kicked off by beautiful Brisbane popsters Little Scout, who made us super happy, and then stomped on a camera.

Fortunately our cameras are rockstar proof, so we were able to continue with the Rock Band/Herovision out-rocking, with some enjoyable (if not massively skillful) performances.

Game On Night 3: ZeroPunctuation and GameDamage + The Empire is Back

Game On Night 3 started with the fast-talking, 2d-animating Yahzee of Zero Punctuation discussing game reviewing and punditry with the Yug and Matt of Australian Gamer.

This was followed by another invasion from the Storm Troopers (with a full-band of Empire soldiers), and some dark, jazz-club style rocking:

Game On Night 2: More Videos, Photos Too

The State Library’s second Game On night saw a little change of venue to the dim, theatre-esq library lobby, which gave a super cool mezzanine feel to the stage, and may have also caused the invasion from the Dark Side.

Fortunately the rebels were able to deliver the security Holodisk safely to Herovision HQ, so we have video to commemorate those who fell.

The first of the State Library of Queensland’s Game On nights went off like a wookie in a cantina!

Hungry Kids of Hungary got the night revved up with sparkling pop croonings:

Which were captured in glorious Herovision:

They were then followed by the Awesome Power of a Fully-Operational Rock Band setup, with a fantastic stage, great sound, and a crowd of skilled Rockers just aching to take the stage.

Herovision: Flyleaf – I’m So Sick

Herovision: Nirvana – In Bloom from herovision.

And of course some exemplary Cherub-Rocking from the Herovision crew:

Herovision Launch at Game On!

It finally happened! Herovision has left the studio and taken its first unsteady steps out on to the world stage…

… It then proceeded to jump all over said stage, kick over the speaker stacks, and then took the stage manager’s daughter home after the show.

More photos of the launch at flickr, and videos to follow.

First Public Herovision Videos Online

After months of work and teasing photos, I’m finally able to publicly share some video of Herovision in action:

There’s a little more detail on CreateDigitalMotion, and there will be plenty more to come here, after the official Herovision launch at the Game On Party this Saturday at Queensland State Library.

Herovision Full-Test Party

rainer — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 08:34:32 +0000

After a few more weeks of soldering, cabling, and more often then not getting distracting actually playing Rock Band / Guitar Hero, we’ve managed to put together a pretty decent working beta that we’re pretty happy with. We tested it all with a celebration of good people, good food, good drink and good fun at Jaymis’ place. It’ll all be tweaked a bit more before a live public event for the Game-On Exhibition Party next Saturday. See pics and the full set here.
