Metal Parties, part II

New Years 2012 brought about the third annual gathering at my place, which I've dubbed, 'Joe's Non-stop to Midnight Metal Massacre.' Its a rather simple affair of drinks, metal and pretty much just drunken shenanigans. Its not as effective as a backyard metal party, but it works well enough during the winter. Each year its been a lot of fun and since were all pretty good friends it makes it all the better. A few new faces joined us this year, but otherwise it was the usual cast of characters and good people I typically spend time with when I get out of the house. I'm by no means the most hip cat around here, so its not like people are knocking my door down and you better believe chicks take special measures to avoid me by several miles, but then again that's been my life story. In any case, I think we all had a good fun time putting back several drinks, jammin' on some video games, punching each other in the nuts and rockin' out to some good tunes along the way. Here's what we ended up playing throughout the night:
