I really don't like Van Halen, though the other songs aren't bad. Too many repeats from other games though. I am SO FRIKKIN CLOSE to a Master Exploder FC. I can never hit those stupid YB chords with [garden tool]/pos in the third solo in a real run. But I can FC the whole solo five times in a row in practice. GAH.

What Shape are you in?
I'm about an inch taller and five pounds heavier :o I could stand to lose some belly fat but I'm not fussed really.

This game looks so [bleep]ing epic. Forgot about it for a while, thanks for reminding me.

Things you do that you think no one else does
Thought of another one. When I take pills with water I fill my mouth with water first and drop the pills in. People think it's weird.

SAME OMG. I don't usually bother to find the stray either. I actually use the "safely remove hardware" button for USB devices and such. Never seen anyone else do it.

HEROES SPOILER!!
I don't care about the sneak peek footage, I'll be looking for the circus tent scene from the LOST panel :lol: Well let's see, checklist of predictability . . . Obvious failure of Nathan/Sylar plan: check. Big Bad Villain: check. (And it's T-bag. Lol.) Hiro and MORE lame-[wagon] time travel plots: check. Claire is a terrible character but still hot: check. Tracy as a rogue agent: check. Tacked on REDEMPTION theme in an attempt to alleviate these offenses: check. [garden tool] hum.

In the remakes you can get both, in Gold and Silver you could get one or the other. Crystal had both I think. Crystal had both (you had to get them in odd ways though, never bothered myself) and the main one though was Suicune. You could get both in all three games. The title one was just the one you got first, with the item from the Goldenrod Radio Tower. In G/S it was [garden tool]-oh/Lugia, in Crystal it was Suicune. In G/S the other came later, after getting an item from some old man in the city where Blue's gym is. In Crystal I remember I never got [garden tool]-oh because you had to beat the Battle Tower for its item -.- I think Lugia was from the old guy still, not sure though.

What You Consider Attractive in Men and Women
Boobs are a shape thing. I don't care about size so much. TBH I don't give myself (many) preset standards. If a girl's attractive she's attractive. I'll know it when I see it :thumbup:

Question: if you were to evolve one of those shiny Ponyta would you have a shiny Rapidash? I actually had no idea shinies even existed until D/P and didn't realize they had been around before that generation (The red Gyarados just seemed like a one-off special thing.) Goes to show how rare they are I guess.

Where do you hope you're going to University?
Hey, depending on what you want to go into Ohio has some really great colleges. Speaking as a fellow Ohioan here. Currently I'm in Chicago. Just visited the University of Chicago this morning and it's pretty high on my list.

So? RB2 is a full game. And their DLC rarely dissapoints. And the RB2 disk setlist was amazing. Speak for yourselves. There's a ton of DLC that I would never touch simply because it's not worth paying for. I could also name a decent amount of songs from the lower end of the on-disc setlist that were not worth putting on the game. My point was that these songs are not designed to cater specifically to guitar anymore. The last Muse song on GH was nothing but a boring strum-fest, yet Plug-In Baby is the "one good song"? Give me a break. If you're looking for good guitar songs, something tells me you haven't heard a lot of them. Twenty-first Century Schizoid Man is an orgasm of prog-rock. Someone already said Spirit of Radio. Jailbreak. Undoubtedly the metal songs will be good to play, if not my kind of music. I'm not exactly thrilled with the setlist either but I'm trying to give it a fair chance.

You guys seem to be forgetting that GH is a full band game now.

I'd say three. Plug In Baby; Vampire Weekend: A-Punk; Sublime: What I Got. Five. Lithium (live) and the spirit of the Radio (live). Ring of Fire, Under Pressure, Superstition, Steady As She Goes, Wolf Like Me, All Along the Watchtower, You Give Love A Bad Name, Fame, Feel Good Inc., 21st Century Schizoid Man, Do You Feel Like We Do, Jailbreak, Runnin' Down A Dream, Back Round. You people are insane if you can only find five good songs on there. I didn't even list the "meh" ones, like Wanna Be in LA.

Hypocrites
If no one has yet spotted this purported double meaning then it is hardly the readers' fault. You might want to ask yourself whether the "double meaning" is actually, for lack of a better word, legitimate. Does it make enough sense to be discovered through reasonable deduction and analysis? The only thing I've seen that could be a double meaning is the irony of the arrogant and aggressive tone in which this invective is delivered, which JP pointed out.

Boy Scouts...
That's exactly what happening to me right now. We have five or six people all lined up to get Eagle. It's a bit of a pain because everyone's stepping on each others' toes trying to get things done :lol:

What movie(s) did you last see?
The Lion in Winter (1968.) I spent a good half of it with my mouth open. Best summer assignment ever.

Screw multiples of five, my top 38 albums + 1 more.
You know you would have an even 40 if you listed your Gorod albums separately.

Oh man I miss the days of glitches. Being able to glitch a Mew in Red, then trade it over to Silver and clone it to my heart's content was great. I shall also get SS, because Lugia > [garden tool]-oh. And I had Silver originally.

Yes it does, it counts as a blue hit. When doing fills or just hitting before the song starts, the blue pad plays as a blue tom while the orange cymbal plays as a blue cymbal. You can use either when hitting the notes. I use the cymbal for cymbal hits all the time so it definitely does work. And of course the yellow cymbal is used as a pad, considering there is no yellow pad on WT drums. Makes rolls awkward.

Should I Get a Wii?
But using 2 knobs to move where you go and your aiming wont help you do anything else in life, and rifle 'nades are probably the most educatable weapon in CoD. Ironic isnt it? Have you ever shot a gun before? Pointing the Wiimote at the screen is nothing like shooting a real gun. It may be a more accurate representation than analog sticks, but neither is actually comparable at all to what they emulate. And what the hell does 'educatable' mean?

Using RB drums just merges the orange notes with the blue. (Similarly, using WT drums with RB just makes the blue pad and orange cymbal the same.) And yes. I don't actually own any of the RB instruments >_> I just use the GH ones.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince [REVIEW]
[hide=]It was supposed to be a Horcrux, but the one Harry and Dumbledore got from the lake was a fake because someone else got there first and switched it. That's what the note was saying, it was from the person who did it.[/hide] EDIT: loltags

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince [REVIEW]
They'll probably take this opportunity to squeeze in as much extra crap that wasn't in the books as they can..... No, they'll use it to tie the plot together. Look, I would love a closer adaptation, but this is an adaptation. Due to the fact that the books had a tendency to bring up previously tangential/apparently irrelevant things later and make them critical plot points, early directors left them out with no later books yet published to tell them that they shouldn't. Bill has not once even been mentioned, and Charlie only briefly in PS and GoF in regards to the dragons. How do you have a believable wedding scene with a character no one has ever heard of beforehand? Ron suddenly having a brother that's getting married, and the wedding consequently being a critical scene (Voldemort takes over the Ministry), would seem very deus ex machina. Granted, they may yet do this in the two movies remaining, but it could be in an entirely different context: Tonks and Lupin, perhaps. Two characters that have at least been seen a few times. The Burrow scene, while I'm not wild about it, was still somewhat needed as a reminder, halfway through a movie that has been largely focused on teen drama, that there is a war on. As much as I love a movie less focused on action and flashy magic, it's easy to see how audiences may become bored. In fact, that is a frequent criticism. As far as the Grimmauld Place inheritance goes, yes, I expected that to be in there. But Rowling had to tip of the writers/director of OotP to leave Kreacher in in the first place. Splitting Deathly Hallows into two gives them a good five hours. I expect the first part will address many of the plot points left out of HBP. If the die-hard fans can't handle a bit of transitional tweaking, too bad. They expect too much.

Twilight.
I am an eighteen-year-old, heterosexual male and a published fantasy writer, and I liked Twilight. The sequels, however... they were pointless. The first book ended perfectly, and Taylor's Law of Unnecessary Sequels proved true yet again. Any info on this published work of yours? I only ask because anyone bringing up the fact that they are published to add credibility to a defense of Twilight . . . throws their credibility into doubt.
