Random Thoughts...

i don't think anyone who is good at guitar hero thinks they can really play the guitar.

[haploid]

I think it just makes mashups and DJing look incredibly easy. I also don't like the mainstreamization of both, soon enough both of them will lack the pizazz they once had. I guess you can partially blame GIrl Talk for that though...

[sawn-off chef]

I have friends that are in signed death metal bands and they can not play guitar hero for shit.

[billy.]

dj hero doesn't even look fun.

the songs are catchy tho.

Truth. I'm super good at drums on Rock Band and people, even drummers, keep telling me to start playing drums. I keep telling them that's a dumb idea.

[billy.]

i could see the skills playing the drums actually transferring over though.

guitar and guitar hero are completely different.

Dragon Age: Origins (lol)

Yeah it makes sense; a basic sense of rhythm and the ability to coordinate both hands and a foot. But I can't do shit on a real kit.

If you come from being able to play drums it's really easy to go straight to the hardest difficulty since you're basically playing the song - my friend whose a very talented drummer actually found the hardest difficulty easier than the lower ones since he'd get confused when he was playing the colored 'notes' and not the song. However, the other way around doesn't work. Take away the colored notes and 'max difficulty 100% argggggh" players can't do much.

i think there used to be a highlight/lowlight thread but i cant find it?

highlight: stripping wallpaper for 4-8 hours and listening to npr (0)

lowlight: the colin mcenroe segment, fuck a kohlrabi

[lotek01]

Speaking of legit DJ-ing, in case any of you guys didn't know, the entire documentary Scratch has been up on youtube for a while, and it's really really good.

Watch it here. Smoke a J and get educated.

during presentations for cultural anthropology there was a girl whos topic was christians and abortion and people were asking her hella questions, almost harassing her about her viewpoint. like her stance was she believes at the time of conception, the unborn baby is a human being and under no circumstances is murder acceptable. people were interrogating her on her thoughts on rape, whether the child would be born with compications, etc. i thought it was pretty fucking funny she had the whole classroom against her

Funny. Someone who clearly believes against abortion so strongly should easily be able to defend against all arguments easily.

1) a child born or rape is just as precious as any other child

2) a child born with complications still deserves life. Do you (inquisitor) believe all children born with any deformity believe they should be aborted?

3) It no longer becomes a woman's choice of her body when her choices create a new life. Wear a fucking condom, use birth control.

I don't have a position since, but if you've thought about it before it's not hard to defend pro-choice.

i haven't slept for 23 hours.

i find it stupid to spend like $500 on rockband game and accesories while you could get some real instrument for a whole band with this. but it sure doesn't give you instant gratification like this sort of videogame does.

i've been playing guitar and bass for nearly a year and i can't play shit while on guitar hero i can master hard stuff in an afternoon. way to spoil kids...

also, nice rep:

[suicide]

I've been playing guitar for ten years.

And Rock Band is way more fucking fun than practicing the same section of a song for eight hours on a real guitar.

There's something to be said for just fucking around.

happy thanksgiving sufu, eat as much as you can!

fuckkkkkk. i spent all day and night working on a motorcycle. spent about $100 on overnight parts from japan and other random things.

Truth. I'm super good at drums on Rock Band and people, even drummers, keep telling me to start playing drums. I keep telling them that's a dumb idea.

actually the developers said that if you manage to play the drums at the highest level well, you can basically play the drums. There was some news about it when it came out.

[crissyw]

i agree, i have a friend who's a pretty decent drummer and is pretty likewise in skill to guitar hero, all about the tempo and multitasking i can't do it for shitttt

[joey_formal]

the bronx is the most rocknroll band around right now....even though their latest effort was mexican.

[samsikle]
