I told you you would rip up Hard mode if you played it :P (I did tell you that...right :shock: ? lol) By the way, what's the news on TDWDTG? I know you have the skill to FC every section, but do you think you could put it together all in one run and manage the FC?

 

You did indeed tell me that ;) Sadly this is only DLC, which has far less competition (read: BA and Lemon don't actively try for it), so the 1sts aren't as meaningful in the broad scheme of things. Happily, I like DLC much more than the on-disc stuff, so the 1sts are more meaningful to me personally.

 

 

 

Your timing with the question of TDWDTG is quite a good coincidence - today I finally got a VSR FC in practice, as well as a new high score of 666,802 (-41 notes) - that run also lost one SP activation to my stupidity, so I can improve. Right now my main problems are measure 67 (the triplets at the end of Devil Solo B - even though I've always been pretty good at triplets, something about these just messes me up badly), measure 101 (trill at Chorus 1, I can tap it, but my fingers just don't like cooperating with me there), measure 134 (VSE SP phrase - I can do it perfectly fine, but in the middle of a run, I'm likely to screw it up), and VSR (while I have the FC now, I'm still not consistent at fully FCing the section).

 

 

 

In other words, besides stupid mistakes (which I make often), I have only four major choke points, each of which can be solved with practice. I'm setting a goal of a FC by Feb. 13 (after the 666k on the Devil song, a Friday the 13th FC is the only thing better), but it seems unlikely to happen that quickly. We'll see. The FC is definitely within reach, though... the -41 run included misses in the Bridge at the beginning of the song (my LP was double-strumming in it and I was trying to compensate for it >_>) and in the strumming in Devil Solo G (just stupidity there, my LP was being nice after the Bridge)

 

 

 

Just a minor ironic note: I can only barely do the DSA trill (14 NPS) with my middle finger, but I can hit the Impulse m102 trill (13.3 NPS) *consistently* with my pinky, and can trill fast enough to get a combo in Raining Blood's 20.3 NPS YB trill with my ring finger. Why is my middle finger so bad at this? :(

 

 

 

Walls of text are fun!

 

 

 

Very nice job on your Scream Aim Fire FC, as well as your Bass Global 1st - I looked at your scores one day when you had only around 30-40 put in, then a few days later I looked again, and there you were with PS2 1sts on every song, global 1sts on a number of them, and 1st on the instrument itself. Amazing job :D

And congrats on the FC's NOM, especially Freak On A Leash, I can't bear to play that song more than twice in a row =\

 

 

 

Wait you don't have that one? :o!

 

 

 

Haha, thanks. I actually don't mind it that much but it's annoying to play, especially the first time I got to the end and there were those stupid consecutive slider notes. That's the same thing that screwed me up a few times in the Ramblin' Man outro.

 

 

 

Right now I'm working on improving my Good God score, since it's an easy one and my initial made-up path got me 26th on Wii. I suck at squeezing though. This'll be good practice. Current score is 237,616 or something like that, which would be 13th Wii if I had it uploaded.

Why does GH suck at DLC? :wall:

 

 

 

RB actually rapes at bringing out awsome DLC worth buying. Isnt GH a bigger franchise and should be able to afford decent artists for their DLC :wall:

 

Because whole games full of Metallica, Aerosmith, and '80s songs don't count for decent artists... Ignoring the Bruce Springsteen, Eagles, Hendrix, Dragonforce, and shred guitar downloads (Buckethead, Vai, Satriani)...

 

Ignoring that the last two I mentioned were in 3, I'd say they're doing well.

Well, I was supposed to be doing my Bio homework (which I had since Monday, but I naturally held it to the last possible moment) and my brother was playing GH. I asked him to hand it over and (while avoiding the eyes of my mother) started to play Bass.

 

 

 

And I got my first FC! \' \' It was Everlong, and on Bass. It may not be as impressive as guitar, but it still counts.

 

 

 

 

 

Also, on the topic of DLC, what is available for download for GH (wii), and when are new songs normally added? I'm curious, if I ever end up getting Wi-Fi.

its a damn good cover. Not really noticable unless youre deliberately trying to find fault with it.

 

 

 

I have no idea why I still play GH or RB, time after time the game companies have shown that they simply dont want me to play their games. They release broken games, they dont release DLC on time, they refuse to release full games AT ALL, yet still I soldier on.

 

I'm such a tool.

GH3 FCs #24 and #25 (38/39 with DLC)

 

 

 

[hide=Go That Far]Had 2 -2 runs before this (both misses were two notes in a row), no idea why I haven't had this before.

 

gothatfarfc.jpg[/hide]

 

 

 

[hide=Hit me with your best shot]Another FC I should have had ages ago.

I haven't even touched the game since whenever I uploaded my For the Love of God score to Scorehero.... I didn't exactly lose motivation, I just... I don't know. Life has been semi-busy (though I'm constantly reminded by a friend that I 'sit around and do nothing' all day :/) and I guess I'm on a small break...

 

 

 

Currently debating whether or not to buy a new Xbox (Arcade, I already have 2 hard drives and don't need to waste money on another one) that has a HDMI port so that I can use it with my beautiful new monitor. On the plus side, I would get to donate my old one to my youth group, where it would be enjoyed by my friends... the main drawback is that it's $250 (have to include the price of the HDMI cable, after all).

Well I don't know if this is irrelevant, but GH player's YouTube accounts have been starting to get taken down with the feud between WMG and YT. This includes Jameslikecoulter and Sully, and (IBitePrettyHard on Rock Band). I don't know if anyone cares for them, but here's their new accounts that they're using

It's beyond a joke now, WMG have even taken down videos from the band's own YouTube channels in some cases.

 

 

 

I've had two of my videos removed due to this and luckily my others have remained untouched.

when they remove all the copyrighted material from youtube there will be [bleep] all left. Its become too big, and slowly but surely its now eating away at itself.

 

 

 

on a less tangential note,

 

 

 

650k on cyanide, yay for improvement.

So my guitar broke. Use of my red button became sporadic, to the point where I could barely 4 star Livin' On a Prayer. So I googled the problem, and as it turns out it's caused by the detachable neck coming loose. One tight rubber band around the starp-nubs later, and I'm back in business. I then finally 5 starred Holiday in Cambodia.

You're right, as if we're ever going to rip the sound from silly videos on youtube especially with sounds of strumming and star power activations on covers that are horrible anyways. Oh yeah, and I must've forgotten IBitePrettyHard:
