[quote name='Moxio']If you want. Just let me know when you're ready.[/quote]

We'd have to since I'm only in like April of season 1 (I hate the damn practices).

Make the game and invite me, or whatever you have to do.
 
[quote name='corrosivefrost']or the cost of allowing GH2/GH3 controller "technology" to work with rock band?[/quote]
What does the pricing of the Rock Band guitar have to do with the GH guitars?
 
[quote name='utopianmachine']I haven't felt good all day, and have thus slept until 5:00 PM. Something like this happened when my father and I had a marathon session of Guitar Hero III. I can game for ages on my DS, but it's almost like gaming on the big screen (his being 52") leaves me feeling sick.

If he calls to invite me over, I may decline.[/quote]

You fail at gaming. :D
 
[quote name='FriskyTanuki']What does the pricing of the Rock Band guitar have to do with the GH guitars?[/quote]

Ok, follow me here.

(a) GH2, GH3 controllers on the 360 work with 360 rock band.
(b) GH3 controllers on the PS3 do not work with PS3 rock band.
(c) Patch to remedy (b) was squashed by activision, as activision wanted money from EA/Harmonix for the use of their "technology"

Thus, if the 360 rockband controllers cost more, my speculation was that maybe EA/Harmonix had paid for 360 rockband to be able to use GH3/GH2 controllers and thus the 360 rockband controller costs more?

Or that the 360 controllers don't use dongles, so they're pretty much regular controllers that are very easy to allow support without Activision's consent out of the box.
 
[quote name='corrosivefrost']Ok, follow me here.

[quote name='dallow']Ask Casey, he wants one.[/quote]The reason I was asking is that I was going to pick up Rock Band game only after I picked up GH3 for the 360, and hadn't planned on picking up a RB guitar.

Trying to figure out why I'd need one if the GH3 guitar works on RB on the 360.
 
Damn $$$$a, should've told me you were playin' with the best player so I could dump shitty Roddick for game 2. :lol:
 
Wow. fucking half is fucking stupid. They have the option to print paypal shipping labels for sellers, now all the sudden it's magically fucking gone. So I'm now trying to figure out why I spent money on a postage scale and who to bitch to at Half to get some answers, however, the bastards have no customer reps or anything. :bomb:

You want to be able to do the solo sections? Iunno -- tfn, do the solo sections work on the GH3 guitar?

I'm sorry, I just couldn't take Shittypova anymore: as you saw, I just couldn't control the ball for crap.

Too bad we can't use custom players... I'd like to show you my custom Rafael Nadal. :lol:
 
RB guitar fucking blows. I don't like it at all. Seems like it's less sturdy and the strum bar and buttons are shit IMO. I have to make due though. :/

I was looing for Nadal but then I realized the game is older. Is he in VT3?
 
[quote name='CaseyRyback']I only bought the bundle for the drums and to use the guitar when I have people over. I completely agree with you that the guitar is no where near as good as the GH controllers. Why they chose to make the strum bar like that is beyond me because everything else about that guitar is really nice.[/QUOTE]


I readan article about that. Sdupposedly they use a new device to register the strums. The GHIII guitars use a specifical mechanical system that makes that click. The new one in Rock banmd is supposed to be less prone to breakage and a physical improvement. And they actually thought that not making that noise would be an improvement sinc eit would let players here the music better.

but they were wrong.
 
[quote name='strummerbs']I didn't mind the open-ended nature of it, but I think we had the same problems with the ending. The tone of the book seemed to shift in that last section, and it threw me off.

Did you mention you were reading Frankenstein now? Also good stuff (Mary Shelley's an ancestor of mine, actually), still holds up reasonably well.

Glad you enjoyed the album. Have you listened to Asobi Seksu? A little bit more up-tempo shoegazer, with a Japanese female vocalist (sometimes sings in Japanese, sometimes in English). Really nice people, too. Check out their second album, Citrus.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, Asobi Seksu is good stuff. Nice people, you say? Have you met them or something?

And yeah, I'm onto Frankenstein now. It's the next book we're reading for school (and it's a classic), so I'm reading it now before I get busy when the semester starts up again.
I'm going to try to finish it in two days, so I can get to read Sophie's World, which I really looking forward to doing.

Going to do the same thing. Gonna probably get GHIII next month. Then I'll get the RB Bundle.

Then my RB Guitar will turn into one of those "Defective Guitars" and I'll send it in for replacement and free game.
 
[quote name='corrosivefrost']You want to be able to do the solo sections? Iunno -- tfn, do the solo sections work on the GH3 guitar?[/quote]That was my intention, though not drop $170 on the whole damn thing, or $60 + $60 for game only + guitar. $60 and use the GH3 guitar seems to make the most sense to me.
 
[quote name='Rocko']I need to preorder that shit soon online. I don't even know what the fuck that game about, or even its genre.[/quote]It's a puzzle game with RPG elements.
Some mini-game action as well.

Ninja Gaiden has become like DMC -- 3D sword based combat, but with ninjas and projectiles like shuriken and bows/arrows instead of guns.
 
wtf, my PS3 still seems to kick my computer off the wireless even though it's wired... I don't get it. :\ unless changing to wired doesn't... DISABLE... the wireless adapter, just doesn't use it.

Yeah I think so. I tried making a custom game and it allowed me to choose my own guys.

Rafa is in VT3, along with many of the newer players (Monfils, Ancic, Nalbandian, etc)

That's what I do...

Just got home from work to find Juggers is sick. Poor guy. I wrapped him in a blanket and let him play his Power Rangers game.

Awww. I hope he gets better soon. I feel sick too, and this chicken noodle soup is making me happy. Maybe the same for the little one.

[quote name='Moxio']Sorry, but chicken noodle soup is some of the nastiest stuff I've ever eaten. Salty, greasy, I see no benefit.[/QUOTE]

That's no soup. That's a space station!
 
[quote name='shrike4242']I hope he's feeling better soon, Plume.[/quote]

Thanks SHrike and UL. He doesn't want to eat, so I'm going to try the soup in a bit.

Shrike, I really like the GHIII wireless guitar over the GHII wired one for Rock Band. Maybe it is just me, but it seems to be a better quality. SInce I play left handed, the whammy bar is on top and has always been loose on my wired one and sometimes gets in the way.
 
Feed him some good bacon!

...that just made me throw up a little.

This is weird - my cell phone is now getting the "NO SERVICE" message and has no bars. I usually have full bars at home...

The joys of being broken down for easy carrying, I suppose.
 
Guitar Hero what?
Rock Band who?

This is what it's about, and only for Wii and PS2!

I worked in cell phones for five years. When your phone is acting up, power it off and back on. Your phone is especially likely to have fits if you don't power it off for days at a time.

I haven't had that problem, yet. If I did - I'd probably just glue the damn thing, since I have the two guitar carrying case from Red Octance and just hang them in my closet next to my work shirts.
