What is it really that is going on here?
It’s no secret thatI hate spiders, but there’s one spider I adore. That’s MC Spider, the frontman of Powerman 5000. That’s why I was raucously excited to hear about the “Worlds Collide” event at Fanfest 2015, obviously a PM5K show at thetop of the worldnamed after the legendary group’s most popular song.
I was absolutely ready to bang my head and strain myneckbone. That’s why the following was an absolutebombshell: Worlds Collide is anEVE Onlinebattle between China and the rest of the globe — aheroes and villainstale of sorts if you want to get all rock, flag, eagle about it.
Yeah, my dreamspopped just like a supernova.
Resigned to the fact that I wouldn’t see thestars revolt tonight, I dutifully watched these skilled pilotsoperate and annihilate. They were just soautomatic. It was a slow process, but there were a lot of explosions. Good stuff for anyactionjunkie.Danger is go, you know?
The Tranquility server (representing theWild Worldteam) wasn’t afraid toshow them what they got. Theydid their thingto theirenemiesandlet the good times roll. The Serenity team took a single match, but it inevitably proved to be as bleak a situation asa swim with sharks.
It has to be tough staring into the crowd and realizing “It’sEarth versus me.” Maybe thoseintelligent creatureson Team China made some missteps that hurt their cause. That’s okay. We all do it.Even Superman shot himself.
At the end of the day, Tranquility wasthe one and only. But, that’s not the takeaway. It was a neat exhibition for the Fanfest crowd — just another way tolive it up before you’re dead. I couldn’t help but leave thinking “Wow,that’s entertainment.”
