So. Guitar Hero. Seriously.

[Johncarllos]

Before this last week, I went like 2 weeks without playing at all.
I'm still only like the 6th best from my High School. Freaking sophomore being able to 5 star Through the Fire and Flames and Jordan.

[Mikero]

You shouldn't even KNOW that you're 6th best in your entire school.

[Johncarllos]

We have had some small tournaments, during classes and lunches and stuff, just because.
I hang out with all of them too.

[ASR]

So Guitar Hero DS comes out on the 22nd.

And...

...I decided I'm going to get it.

I guess the main reason is that I haven't played my DS in a really really really long time and I feel that this is enough motivation.

I'll let you guys know how it goes.

[Mikero]

I'm sure you'll have hours of fun. 17 to be precise.

[ASR]

I'm not expecting much. If I go in with low expectations I'll at least get a nightly diversion out of it.

I figure it's stupid since the whole point is that it's portable, but I would never let myself be seen playing it in public, and if I'm at home I'd rather play the actual full-featured console version.

So, in the end, I'm getting it for the multiple 3-hour car trips I know I'll be taking up north and back home all summer to my condo.

[Johncarllos]

... I hate everything I've seen of it.
If I pick it up, it was on sale.

[ASR]

Just decided I'm not getting it.

Though I don't necessarily don't want it.

[Mikero]

Get something worth spending the 3 hour trips on. You'd probably get bored of the GHDS in like 30 minutes.

[ASR]

I think it's the sort of thing that if I see somebody else with, I'll think "hey, that's fun" and ask to try it out. It'll be fun for the exact amount of time I'm given to try it out. And it'll never be fun again.

[Johncarllos]

Hooooly crap.
I just played the sickest online round I've played in forever.
Just look at these scores.

For Before I forget, you need 314,648 to five star it.
We both 'six' starred it (averaged a 4.0 multiplier), but he seven starred it, averaging a 5.0x multiplier for his points.

Jeeeezum. We both only 6 starred Kool thing though.

And now my guitar does strum half the time when I'm holding a blue note.
It's pretty #####ing retarded that I get 3 or 4 stars on songs that I 5 star with no problem.

[Xzeemo]

They has Muse 0.0

That makes me very happy.

[Johncarllos]

There are some real gems on there.

[Xzeemo]

Yes, I'm really impressed with this tracklist. They even have Colplay God damn this shall be awesome.

[Johncarllos]

I smell Christmas present.

[Abominator]

I'm not impressed at all, same old crap.

I'm beginning to think band-specific iterations of this are a better idea.

[Johncarllos]

Downloadable content offers whole albums to play.

[preventerWIND]

They've only had one Bad Religion song in Guitar Hero, makes me sad D:

Even though I'm not a fan of GH, I'd still like to play more than one song on there..

[Abominator]

Downloadable content offers whole albums to play.

Does it allow me to trade the ##### music of Coldplay and Muse for that of better bands, free of charge?

Didn't think so.

[Mikero]

I wish. Not that I'm ever gonna buy another "pattern" game like this. But I might play some GH3 today, since I've nothing else pressing until tonight.

[Abominator]

Deluxe World Tour pre-orders will get a free BASS so pre-order now!

[Mikero]

...... hein?

[preventerWIND]

Know what game needs a Bass? Mega Man 9. Mm-hmm.

[White Shadow]

-- Dream Theater - "Pull Me Under"

-- Survivor - "Eye of the Tiger"

The first one surprised me. But it was about time they put the second in.

[Mikero]

Know what game needs a Bass? Mega Man 9. Mm-hmm.

OMG HAHAAHAHAHSDAHSFDSAFDEDFGWFGW E CLEVER.

[Abominator]

Apparently MM2 Wily music topped the GHTunes chart, but was removed for copyright reasons.

http://blog.wired.com/games/2008/11/mega-man-rocks.html

In other news, my GHWT is in the mail.

[Mikero]

Why?

[NovaMan XP]

Why the hell are they removing them? Isn't the point of the music maker to make songs that WEREN'T in Guitar Hero? I mean, making an original song is nice and all... but playing MM2 Wily Stage 1 on Guitar Hero would be #####ing sweet. Copyright reasons... bah. Hate ##### like that, ruins the fun of some things...

I plan to get World Tour now, although it may take a while before I get it.

[Mikero]

Copyright reasons is the only decent reason to do that.

[Johncarllos]

I've had that song for a while.
It's darned fun to play.
I also have Green Greens, the chocobo theme, and quite a few others.

Abe, we'll have to play together.

Are you getting anything besides the game, or are you just getting the disc and using your GH3 guitar?

[Abominator]

I'm getting everything since the pre-order came with free Bass and I'm a sucker for a "bargain"

And no, we shall not be playing, because you're really good at it and I've completed only 1 song on Medium.

[NovaMan XP]

You can always play co-op.

I did. He's insane. ._.;

[Abominator]

I have no interest in being much better at it than I am already, it's just for a laugh.

[Johncarllos]

Band play, Abe. You can do whatever while I do guitar or bass.
I don't care to face you one on one, this game is more about co-op than beating people.

Aw, thanks Nova.

Also, I wish I had the drums or mic...
A USB Mic would be easy and cheap to get though, as I could just borrow a friend's mic for the 360.

[Mikero]

I have no interest in being much better at it than I am already, it's just for a laugh.

Good man.

[Johncarllos]

##### ##### ##### ##### ##### ##### ##### ##### ##### ##### ##### ##### ##### ##### ##### ##### #####


I get World tour on monday and today the red button on my slightly trusty GH3 guitar decides to cut out if I press it while pressing a higher note.

Basically, I can't play any sustained chords or fast strum anything with red notes.

And because of this I can't even beat Hot For Teacher.

Now I need to burn even MORE money to get a friggin new guitar.
I have to chose between the new 50-something dollar guitar or a 3rd party piece of crap for 25....

[Mikero]

They should stop making the GH guitars be unlike the Rock Band ones. The games makes you look stupid enough without the Fisher Price toy style.

[preventerWIND]

I swear there was a ukulele size GH guitar, could've been modded or whatever..

YOU'VE GOTTA GET ONE OF THOSE

[Johncarllos]

I'm not too good at soldering things, so making one is out of the question.


The new guitar looks interesting, but they don't sell single guitars yet...

[NovaMan XP]

I've decided which system I'm getting World Tour for.

[Vinchenz Rock]

Yeah, well... PS3 version has Overworld from Zelda! And Green Greens from Kirby!

And that's about it...

[NovaMan XP]

The sad part is they're getting taken down. Which is beyond retarded.

Though I heard an easy way to avoid getting it taken down would be to name the song something that DOESN'T have the full name or something.

Like Wily Stage 1 from MM2 could be "Skull Fortress 2A" or something with no mention of Mega Man 2 in it.

[Vinchenz Rock]

Yeah, if I was going to do something based on an already existing song, I would call it something different.

I'm thinking of doing You Know My Name once I get the hang of the program.

[Mikero]

Back in the days of Napster, the cover of "Smooth Criminal" done by Alien Ant Farm was known as "Slick Thief" in the program.

Hah!

[ASR]

That is pretty awesome trivia.

[maniac man]

If u ever get Guitar Hero ,any of them, u will love it soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo o much!I say get the 2nd, 3rd, and World Tour! The Best Ones!!!




                           
                               

[Johncarllos]

I'm better than you at Guitar Hero.

[Fatso]

You know, when you say 'best ones', usually there's fewer 'best ones' than otherwise.

[NovaMan XP]

Keep in mind there are only like 6 Guitar Hero games and you just named half of them as the best ones...

[Johncarllos]

HOLY COW I AM A GUITAR HERO GOD GUYS.

I JUST 5 STARRED EVERY SONG IN THE CAREER OF GUITAR HERO 2.
MISIRLOU.
INSTITUTIONALIZED.
PSYCHOBILLY FREAKOUT.
FREEBIRD

YEAH.
ALL OF THOSE TONIGHT.

I have earned "the log."
I am super duper happy.
Now I'm going to try to beat Jordan.

Now as in, a few days from now. Woo!
