The Wang Out - "Gary Was Here" Edition: lol ash is a loser

[Tanthias]

It would seem that I should rerun through the train (I'm doing rather poorly ammo-wise). So I leave it up to you guys: Should I just delete the original vids and start over or leave those vids and add a note about why I may have more items/ammo when I restore the thread?

Yep, point stands true, more when you realize that the Rock Band crew are the same that left the GH brand to rot after 2 and went on doing a highly successful franchise. Heck, they didn't have anything to do with Rock the 80's.

I think that what I liked from GH5 was that they left the whole "OHHH SO FUCKING METAL AND I'M A 12 YO KID" to favour a more "all music is good" approach, and that's why I find that game enjoyable, not a masterpiece, but something I don't mind playing.

But then, they got into the WOOHOO WARRIORS OF FUCKING METAL WITH SONGS FOR TOUGH MEN WITH ATREYU AND DETHLOCK, WITH FUCKING MANLY METAL REM AND WHITE STRIPES thing and...well, I gave it a chance, that was my mistake. At least they improved the vocals a little, but everything after RB3 feels like disgusting crap. :3

I wasn't aware of the whole personnel shift from GH to Rock Band after GH2, but it makes perfect sense. Guitar hero 3 had a totally different feel to it, and I thought Rock the 80's wasn't really worth a mention.... still fun when you've got people over to play, but that's about all.

I'm not really a heavy metal guy, either... I like some of it (mostly the classic metal like Sabbath and Deep Purple), but not all. Gotta say, tho... "OHHH SO FUCKING METAL AND I'M A 12 YO KID"... I honestly lol'd when I read that! I actually wound up trying to teach guitar to some of those 12 year old kids when I worked for my local music shop. I also had to deal with their youthful angst when they couldn't make those heavy "Guitar Hero" sounds come out of the $100 Strat copy that their mom bought 'em.

This is what I felt too. It doesn't help that GH6's guitar charts are the most illogical shit ever, while most of RB3's feel relatively close to playing the songs on an actual guitar.

No point in doing more work than you have to, just make a note.

Good to know I'm not the only one who notices this... also good to know I'm not the only one who compares actual six-stringing to the layout of notes on Guitar Hero and Rock Band. My pals (who don't play guitar) used to give me a lot of static for wanting to compare playing an instrument to playing a game.

I always thought the programmers on guitar games where the layout feels natural must have actually been guitar players, or they ask for input from guitar players. This was part of what hooked me when I played the first two GH games. It was sorta like playing the songs with a band, only I didn't get that "oh sh*t" feeling if I dropped a note!

Guitarists always drop notes. Try being the singer in a band. That shit is hard.

[Rockstar1983]

You in a band too, RetroSnake? Cool! What kind of music do you guys do?

True on both counts... I'm also my band's lead singer. We're a trio, so it doesn't leave a lot of room for mistakes, sadly. However, it forces me to keep my chops up, which is good, 'cause I tend to be lazy.

[Rockstar1983]

Well, think I'd better hit the hay. 4AM here, and lots to do tomorrow. Good chattin' with ya... 'Night all.

If I restart, will do, thanks

(Managed to actually avoid a group of zombies this time around, so I have more ammo and might not need to. Time will tell.)

You know, I've have falseparadise in my bookmarks just in case the site goes down.

I forgot that.

I spent like, the entire time the site was down looking for the site.

Also, I have to shovel again. We may actually have a foot of snow.

And that is why I only have 10 bookmarks. So if the site goes down, whenever I go to open one I'll see FP staring at me. With a knife in one hand. And a chainsaw in the other.
