I love you for keeping my 4 year old thread alive.

That sucks!! I was hoping to check back on some early stuff.

You can do that now??? Where have I been?

Is there a way to check out old posts I've made? The "posts" tab in my profile only lists recent ones. I wanna look back.

In fact, I find it surprizing that out of all the people here you remember me. I guess I'm just cool like that. Your name definitely seems familiar. I remember you.

Holy [cabbage] Napalm_Death you're still here. I haven't visited TIF for a while just thought I would hop on. No problem if no one recognizes me tho. :)

I've never had a guitar hero game before, only played at my friends house. It's not especially hard, but I'm kinda new so it ishard to change the tabs in quick recessions and stuff that's required for extreme. I'm not implying that it's outstandly hard from the other guitar heros, just saying that it compares to them, there is no, or very little dumbing down.

My game came! My DS game library. :P All the stuff that's in. I had a Visa giftcard that I got for Christmas so I decided to get this off of Amazon. It's a really awesome game, worth to pay money for! As you can see I got the decades one (2nd) for $37 but there's a sale now and you can get the first game with all the stuff at $30! That's a really good deal considering what you get, and also if you have a flashcart you should be able to get one of the guitar hero's and acquire the other. So for $30 you get: - Guitar Hero On Tour with the grip and all, -The ability to play Decades and all the future games if they ever come out with more (DSi makes it problematic). I bought On Tour decades because the first game wasn't on sale then. Here's the link for 'em: http://www.amazon.com/Guitar-Hero-Tour- ... 949&sr=8-1 It's a really nice package overall and easily worth your 30 (or in my case 37) dollars. That's about the price of a crappy Madcatz guitar for the console. There's no issue with the difficulty of the game, anything above medium is frantic as hell, and extreme takes my lunch and shoves it up.

Sorry guys for the lack of updates, I've been too caught up in real life to even get to turn the computer on. I had to take the Pearl pad back because the glue came up under the rubbery part. So much for the fancy branding... Thankfully they've replaced it so it's been awesome. I've got lecture tomorrow so I'm psyched. ;)

I bought that Pearl pad I posted in the first message. I actually looked around for some Vic Firth pads but the store didn't seem to have any (we're talking Eastern-Europe here). As for going cheaper, I saw ones for around half the price but they looked bad quality and too bouncy. (My tutor especially pointed out that most rubber pads bounce the stick back too much and will mess you up when you try to play on real drums) I'll be using these for a long anyway, I'm 16 so dropping upwards from half a grand on a set is not an option. Right now I'm just doing 4's to 16's with both hands in a row at 60BPM starting with 4, then 8 and 16. Also triplets. Starting with both hands and going like RRL,LRR,LLR,RLL etc. My left hand needs some control as well. Thanks for the links and stuff, will look into that.

I think the stand will come in handy, so I won't have to fiddle around with tables trying to find a suitable position for the pad. My teacher said that there are pads for less but this one is the closest he's seen to regular drums regarding rebound and feel.

I was always interested in drumming and rythm, so I finally decided to take lessons. For now I'm going once a week to learn the basics. I've been two times so far and it's been cool. :) Already got my sticks (Big Stick 5A's), metronome (DB-30) I don't unfortunately know anyone with a set nor have the means to be able to play on one at home so my tutor recommended me these for practicing. http://www.pearleurope.com/mediafiles/i ... sd-50h.jpg (Pearl SD-50) Any word on this? Do any of you have one of these? They're about 60 bucks btw. Anyways, the point of this thread is to share you advice/experience, etc. Any of you drumming? How long have you been at it? What gear do you own? Do you have any tips for a beginner? Thanks!

Moon is still effin awesome. I'm up to chapter 7 atm. Man, that Sanctus Vector boss took a while to beat.

This games is AWESOME. I completed the first two missions so far and did not notice time passing by. The graphics and the overall enviroment really draws you in, just try playing it with headphones in a quiet enviroment and it will prove to be a very immersive experience. The cutscenes are great, the weapons are fun to use. The voice over leaves something to be desired, but I'm personally happy it's even there when it comes to a DS game. :) As the IGN review stated, this is more of a Metroid game than Metroid Prime Hunters was. I don't know about the Prime series on the Gamecube, I haven't played them, but if you've played Zero Mission or Fusion on the GBA and enjoyed it, this game will be right up your alley. Oh, and I the boxart. [hide=] [/hide] This is the first DS game I'm contempleting to actually pick up a copy of.

Guys, Moon is out! IGN written review: http://ds.ign.com/articles/943/943581p1.html Video Review: Re9XrsNZ1qM Better quality: http://ds.ign.com/dor/objects/14215698/ ... 10909.html Any of you had a chance to play it yet?

I would avoid getting a SE phone that has a joytick, as they tend to crap out on you after a little bit of use. (A lot of my friends have SE's w/ joysticks and they are nearly impossible to navigate with after the dust settles in) You wouldn't go wrong with a Nokia or Blackberry though.

I hope you didn't eat it afterwards.

I have the exact same phone as you. Very good phone indeed. Does that phone slide or anything? Cuz if not it must be kinda old no offense lol. What? #-o I really hope I'm misunderstanding you...

Trackmania is one of the best racers on the system IMO, just missing Wi-Fi and tracksharing. Skate-it annoyed me to hell, the controls are really weird and glitchy. There is a skateboard on the bottom screen, and you are supposed to ollie, manual, and do flip tricks drawing out different lines. It often misreads what I'm trying to do, and more often than not, the result is an asphalt-lickin bailout. There are also challanges where you have to do trick that the other guy sets you to do, or set tricks yourself (called S-K-A-T-E, similar to H-O-R-S-E in basketball.) Those take forever to complete and you usually lose. Finished COD5 campaign on normal the other day, I'm thinking of replaying it on hard and doing the challanges atm. Moon and C.O.R.E can't come soon enough, I'm also really anticipating Chinatown Wars, could turn out awesome. I'm also debating whether or not I should get a 3-1 for the GBA games.

Thank you all for helping out. Long story short, this was a message I received from a friend, not school related. :)

If yes, could you translate the following message in english? Thanks

No, I haven't needed to use it yet. COD 4 didn't use it at all, I don't think this does either. That is if you're right-handed (stylus to aim, buttons to strafe, left shouldbutton to shoot). If you are left-handed you're gonna need to use the right shoulder button for shooting. Dude, what do you mean good for a 16 year old? I think all the good DS games can be enjoyed by anyone regardless of age. If you mean to seek "mature" games, I'd suggest Dementium, it gives me the shizzles while playing in the dark with headphones on. Whan genre are you into? There are thousands of DS games, I need info about your preferences if you want advice. You clearly didn't read my post where I said it's one of the best looking 3D DS games. About the quality; my digital camera was on a stack of books and I was leaning back resting my head on my desk trying to see something. :P Yeah, they fixed that Nad.

Guys. Go freakin' grab COD5. THE. GAME. IS. AWESOME. Call of Duty 4 times ten. I haven't had the chance to try out wifi yet, but I've played through about 2-3 missions in the main game. The wacky ADS system from 4 is fixed, guns are actually 3D rather than sprites, and the game looks like it will be a full meal deal as well! There are 4 options in the Main Menu: Single Player, Multiplayer, Nintendo Wi-Fi and War Room. The Single player features a Campaign mode, Quick Play and Challenge (!) (30 challenges you can complete). The War room rocks, you have Statistics (Kills, Deaths, Shots fired, Headshots, Accuracy etc in both single and on Wi-Fi. Plus you have Achievements! Stuff like "I Love Quotes" (Dying 50 times) "Headhunter" (100 headshots), "No Fly Zone" (take 250 planes down), and of course "Too Much Free Time" (Receive All Awards). These pop up in-game like on the 360! I haven't found any collectables yet, dunno what those are for. Oh and the Campaign has 3 modes (British, American, Russian) so it looks like this will be a long game!! I can't wait to try out Wi-Fi. Looks like awesome fun. The actual game is very nice, the minigames are not out of place (disarm a bomb, disarm land mine, enter morse code to call help) and don't feel tacked-on. Graphically this is the most impressive looking realistic 3D DS game. I'm uploading a gameplay vid to youtube as we speak, I'll share it with you guys once it's done. So here you go: me playing COD5 on the DS 1qJioJKXpRQ
