"Sensory overload"!

Maybe I'm the only one, but I'm 32 years old, U2 fan, Ocarina Of Time Fan AND huge GTA fan and I'm overwhelm... XD My birthday is the November 19th... The Tour announcement and ticket sale (Pressure!) maybe in the next few weeks, Oot will come 05.11. U2's album 13.11. GTA VI on my birthday... It's a really incredible time but I have a totally "sensory overload" in german "Reizüberflutung" XD Anyone else with the same problem? :D

I feel you, but even though I'm also a huge GTA and Zelda fan, the tour announcement by itself is what's really "overloading" me. I've been a fan since around 2008, and pretty much every time U2 came to my country I was either too young to travel or just couldn't afford it.

So unfortunately I missed the JT2017 tour with Noel Gallagher, which still hurts because I'm a huge Noel fan too. Thankfully I got to see oasis live '25 twice in Sao Paulo.

The only time I've actually seen U2 was in Milan on the E+i Tour in 2018. It was amazing, but at the same time it just made me want to see them again even more, especially because I'd love to finally hear some of the JT classics live, like Streets, WOWY, etc.

It feels like I've been waiting forever since 2018, and now, with the new album and all the rumours it finally feels like it might actually happen. I've already got my fan club subscription and I'm really hoping to get tickets for at least one show. Ideally I'd love to do two dates if I can.

That said, I still remember how insanely difficult it was to get tickets for Milan in 2018, so I'm already expecting this to be absolute chaos hahah

Well I prefer Majora's Mask to OOT, but I get what you mean ;)

Majora's Mask was great too! Maybe the next game they will re-release like Oot. :D

I’m 43 and I’m looking forward to all those as well. OOT and GTA6 can’t come out soon enough, have both preordered, as well as the box set for Carnaval de Luz. But in the meantime, let’s get the tour announcement today!!!!!

My birthday is November 19th as well! It’ll be my 30th, so I already made plans to get my first tattoo the week before and spend my birthday playing the new GTA. Having another collection of new U2 is the cherry on top!

I can’t believe we are getting a new U2 album before GTA6

I have had U2 releasing music and now John Mayer announcing a new album / song out this week (and a Sphere residency, which is great for US fans, not so great for those 15 hours flight away… I made it for U2, I won’t for JM).

My guy this is the U2 subreddit aint nobody here know what a Zelda or GTA is, the only thing we know is Fox News and the price of a Sams club membership

u/Haitora93 3d ago

No, I don't think so. Oot is 28 years old! GTA over 25 years old. XD U2 doesn't have only fans over 60 years old. :D
