Morning Pan, quite mild today (no woolly hat needed), off hunting for a new 360.
December 18th, 2008 at 3:24 am
Be sure to take a big gun. I hear those 360’s can charge when they get spooked.
December 18th, 2008 at 3:51 am
On the plus side, just discovered I’m on holiday next week, so should miss most of the Xmas shopping madness.
December 18th, 2008 at 4:15 am
Morning, Deadpan!
December 18th, 2008 at 4:24 am
Well I got a new 360 arcade, now to mess around transferring licences.
December 18th, 2008 at 5:03 am
Morning Pan!
-20C. here and snowing – again.
Have fun with the new system, Van.
December 18th, 2008 at 5:06 am
Good morning, Pan! I can’t wait to listen to today’s Palooza. :-D

I wanted to mention, when I talk about rambling, babbling and nigh-incoherentness, I am speaking about myself, not the collective…

That Holub guy had the right facial hair to play a villain in Star Trek.

I’m afraid I was in “ramble mode” as well.
Happy Birthday to the Mr. Energizer Bunny! May he keep going, and going, and going, and ….
December 18th, 2008 at 5:58 am
J0e, it’s not the going…
December 18th, 2008 at 6:03 am
…it’s the elevation..

…yes, it’s the elevation… especially when he’s “not going” ;)

We will wait for you Bunny…
December 18th, 2008 at 6:40 am
Happy Bday Mr. Bunny!
JohnBoze, when I listened to your 2nd comment, I thought of another reunion movie that I at one time really enjoyed, which is Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion. I know it’s a silly one, but Janeane Garofalo was very hilarious, saying I believe that “I’d rather put a cigarette out in my ass” than going to the reunion.
I thought everyone’s comments were grand. Everyone’s voice was swoon-worthy: Van, Jack, ditto, JOe, TO, JB, and Amy!
December 18th, 2008 at 6:55 am
Happy Birthday Mr. Battery!
December 18th, 2008 at 7:22 am
Ice pellets chattered off of the windshield of the truck. Allison shivered in anticipation of being back out in that weather. She looked to her left, at the big trucker who answered her glance with a sympathetic, slightly shy smile. He hadn’t taken the fifty bucks she’d offered him to give her a ride and ignore her, but true to his word there was no lechery in his eyes, just shy but friendly pity.
December 18th, 2008 at 7:26 am
I’ll try and play JJ’s game at the pub tonight.
December 18th, 2008 at 7:45 am
BTW: Did the “walk into a reception area and read the first magazine” thing.
It’s amazing how people go out of their way to try and ignore public displays of oddness.
December 18th, 2008 at 7:48 am
That above is DP Bar material, BTW, but I have to go to the benefits meeting now…
December 18th, 2008 at 7:50 am
As I think about “High School Reunion” flicks … I suddenly remembered “Wild Thing” and it being my favorite film for a while.
Of course, I haven’t seen it in well over a decade so maybe it actually sucks … but I remember it as being quite entertaining.
December 18th, 2008 at 7:53 am
Happy Birthday to Mr. TEB
I’m very hmmm sad, depressed, grumpy today – very not like me – I’m expecting the GP Palooza to cheer me up. Or, someone will pinch me and I’ll snap out of it.
It hailed on my house and made what looked like snow in my rockbed:

December 18th, 2008 at 7:54 am
Wild Thing or Wild Things?
Pi could make a good DP Palooza movie.
December 18th, 2008 at 7:58 am
Sorry, the film was “Something Wild”. 1986 with Melanie Griffith and Jeff Daniels.
I had to look it up. That’s how long it’s been since I’ve seen it.
December 18th, 2008 at 8:01 am
Something Wild was fun. I’m not sure how well it will hold up.
December 18th, 2008 at 8:08 am
Wild Things was fun too, if you like that sort of, ahem, thing.

Wild Things was surprisingly good. It had more of a story than I expected. And some good plot twists. Avoid the sequels.
December 18th, 2008 at 8:33 am
Stupid cold. Stupid roads. Stupid snow.

Dear Mr. Nomad,
Query as to the result of an email set to your location a couple a days ago, curious if you have recieved said email and/or all attachments.
Thanks Wolf
December 18th, 2008 at 9:09 am
Ditto (Fuckin’ in the Bushes) Isn’t that better done on the First of May?
December 18th, 2008 at 9:11 am
Unlike Jack Mangan, I do not have my shit together. I don’t think I would have anything useful to the palooza that wasn’t already well covered by everyone else. While I did enjoy it, TO did give voice to some things that I found odd about the film. I thought everyone’s contributions were excellent and painted an interesting picture.
Now, if we do one for Blade Runner, I may have to get a bigger hard drive to hold the audio recording. Of course, most of that will consist of me screaming, so that may not play very well.
December 18th, 2008 at 9:26 am
Can’t tell you how much a really really wanted to like GPB. Right up to the final scene I kept hoping it would kick it into gear and become “good” but it just never happened for me.I’m a cheerleader for just about ever actor that was in this film.
That’s not to say it was “Bad”. It had some nice performances but …
It needed to commit to something. Maybe a completely jaw dropping shoot out at the re-union would have done it. Or maybe some sort of repeated comic element like the in “Raising Arizona” where they had the same piece of music showing up in different styles or jokes that kept getting re-used or SOMETHING.
I guess I’m more disappointed than anything because it’s pieces could have added up to great classic.
I’m reminded of a friend who finally ask the beautiful girl he had seen around campus for 4 years, to go out with him. To his surprise she said “yes” and to his even further surprise … the ended up in bed together.
He said it was one of the big disappointments of his life.
Like this film, she apparently thought her contribution to the event was to just lay there looking really hot.
*sigh*
December 18th, 2008 at 9:28 am
Joe: I think it did. It just isn’t what you expected.

Just found out my health insurance premium is jumping from 11% of my paycheck to 23% of my paycheck.
Yup, looking forward to the standard 3% raise even less now…

JB – Ouch!
December 18th, 2008 at 11:22 am
Let’s try a different kind of meme. Go to iTunes and sort your music by last played. Find the oldest song (you can ignore podcasts, audio books, etc). What’s the song and when did you last play it.
Moon & Tree by Blue Rodeo
December 18th, 2008 at 11:22 am
Wow. That completely sucks, JB.
December 18th, 2008 at 11:23 am
I forgot, that song was last played 9/26/2007
December 18th, 2008 at 11:30 am
My poor hubby.
I’m inundating him with e-cards. I’ve sent three so far today.
hmmm… I wonder if I should send him another…
December 18th, 2008 at 11:33 am
Hmm, since I just replaced my laptop and moved all of my music over, I don’t have an old song. My longest ago played is only 12/15/08… but
It’s “Love is Love” by the Culture Club from the movie Electric Dreams which has one of my favorite soundtracks. Also, this is the song my husband and I danced to at our wedding.
December 18th, 2008 at 11:34 am
Let’s Limbo Some More – Chubby Checker Last played June 23 ‘ 07
(this was for a ‘50 murder mystery we hosted so I have a number of Chubby Checker and other 50’s music that was played at that time)
December 18th, 2008 at 11:43 am
Yeah, well, the old company’s plan is currently being paid through COBRA with the new company paying the percentage that had been paid by the old company. Now a new plan starts at the first of the year, so it’s either accept the new plan or begin paying all the COBRA on the old one. Obviously of those two options the new plan is “cheaper.”
December 18th, 2008 at 11:53 am
Hey, feel free to send Mr. Bunny a Happy Birthday e-card from all of us. :)
December 18th, 2008 at 12:04 pm
Ok, sent him the beer and cake e-card from Hallmark.com on the DP behalf.
(I’m sure he’s sick of e-cards from me by now :) )

Quoting from the article TEB:
Day and Howerton do not consider the series as a science fiction, but rather a unique twist on the workplace sitcom. Wayne McClammy (I’m F–king Matt Damon) directed the pilot.
The BBC did that…it was called Red Dwarf
Trying to deny it’s scifi is not an auspicious start.
December 18th, 2008 at 1:42 pm

I’m actually off to play a good hearted prank.
A nearby school sports some stone mascots outside the front entrance that are just BEGGING for some holiday cheering up!
I’m just the guy for the job.
I stopped at the dollar store a little while ago and picked up a couple of Santa hats!
Ho Ho Ho!
(let’s hope homeland security doesn’t swoop in and shoot me whilst I merry make)
December 18th, 2008 at 5:56 pm
LOL.. oh my God!! Dumb ass memory in the making!!! So I added the last played column to my itunes to get that song info and had to scroll over to see that new column and didnt realize I wasnt seeing the song title column anymore

Alright, the Itunes game.
oldest played song with a date – “An Incident” from Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country. Date of 21 OCT 2005
But, I’ve got a couple hundred tracks with no play date. Turning on the last skipped column yields “Love Drive” by the Scorpions. Dunno why I skipped that one.

Squirrel Nut Zippers – Hell

(that’s band name first, then song title, by the way)
The Christmas party at our school rocked. There was a ton of food, and I got to talk to some fellow tutors and some students. The students all said I was a good teacher, and some of them gave me presents. One of them volunteered me to sing in front of most of the group, and I did and got complimented for it. We spent some time standing in a circle, singing songs (including English-language and Spanish-language Christmas carols, and other songs in Spanish) and having a ton of fun.
I’m genuinely sad over here about Majel Barrett-Roddenberry. :-(
TO: I enjoyed your fanfic.

December 18th, 2008 at 7:06 pm

woah Amy those bird chirps got loud.
Awwww :) this is cute
December 18th, 2008 at 7:21 pm
If you do get the chance to get your voices recorded for it, I will happily edit them into that episode. As it turns out, I think putting podcast episodes together is tons of fun, even though it can be a little tedious at times. :-)

Hugh sez: we’re city folk, we need beds and electricity. Concrete and glass
We’re not good at nature
Dude whats up with the fish?
Hugh sez: Here is yet another reason not to go camping
:)
December 18th, 2008 at 7:24 pm
And now I’m caught up on Top Chef too.
December 18th, 2008 at 7:25 pm

December 18th, 2008 at 7:25 pm
You did a really good job, Amy :) I love all the sounds, it was just that 1 time the bird chirp took over your voice. Since then its been great
ditto! *blush*
December 18th, 2008 at 7:27 pm
Oh we like au natural.. just not outside. In a warm cozy bed with nice sheets au natural is great!
Hugh sez: your distracting me woman! Whats with the au natural talk, I wanna know if Jeremy and wolf kill the zombie fish

December 18th, 2008 at 8:40 pm
Gravity.
When you download files they are actually falling into your computer. When you upload your files are physically being shoved up the interpipes.
And that’s tonight’s, “Ask Dr. Science!”

I have the best bunch of friends in the world. Really. Thanks for revisiting 100 – which was a masterpiece, unto itself. Now before I hitchhike to Chicago ;), I need to share ANOTHER wonderful act of friendship that has floored me:
http://media.libsyn.com/media/wanderradio/Deadpan_Mixtape.mp3
I’m posting this here in the comments to share with my friends.
WNDRWolf has created a mixtape of my music, to be shared with everyone who hangs out here. I’m only hearing it for the first time now. I’m floored. Thank you, WNDR. I hope everyone enjoys.

Hmmm. Well, I’ve tried Firefox and even IE, but I can’t get the mixtape file. IE is giving me the 404 finger and FF gives me a blank. Right clicking and downloading give me a 4K file that is, sadly not very musical.
Help me WNDRWolf…..you’re my only hope!

“The stage could have a rotating platform…”
“I think that I ‘d get sick.”
“It would be a really slow rotation man, like the time it takes a second hand to go around a clock in one minute. I don’t know how fast that is exactly…”
Well, Kev, that rotation rate would be one RPM… In his defense there is that whole chainsmoking Joint thing.

“I’ve got to stop at the Kwik Stop and drop off a delivery. I think there’s a bed & breakfast on Main Street…”
“Main Street, if you don’t mind.”
“No trouble at all.”
The big rig splashed through icy puddles past the brilliantly lit Kwik Stop and into the darkness of the road into town. The mountains
surrounding the town were great dark suggestions of shapes just beyond the murk of the freezing rain and low cloud. Allison gathered up her backpack and purse in preparation for getting out of the cab. Downtown, if you could call one block of oppsing retail blocks “downtown” appeared ahead, with old-fashioned double-lampposts casting a comforting, candle-like glow upon the surrounding shops, mostly closed. On the left, a bar, the own’s only bar, by the look of it. There were some neon signs proclaiming availability of beers Allison had never heard of, and one old, unlit Blatz sign.
“Can we stop here?”
“Okay.” The trucker pulled closer to the curb and stopped. “The guy running that place can tell you where the B&B is. Good guy.”
“Thanks. Thanks for the…”
“Don’t mention it.” The trucked smiled shyly again, possibly blushing under the full beard, though it was hard to tell in the dim light. Allison clambered down from the truck, and turned to look at Jack Mangan’s Deadpan Bar.

It was tepmting there at the end, Jack, but I wasn’t sure whether T.O. would be shy or boisterous. I suppose it’s up to the reader…
Ditto, I’m not sure what the current size of my iTunes library is, but like Joe, I have at least dozens if not hundreds of un-listened-to tracks, at least as far as iTunes knows (most are ripped from CD’s I own, so I’ve probably listened to many of the ones that are “unplayed” before.
Hey everyone, you might have noticed there’s no “Allison” hanging out at the real-life messageboard here. I wonder why that could be???

And might I say a very entertaining Evo@11 appearance.
Though it does leave me a bit sheepish… Answer me this and hopefully not be offended: Did I meet you at NME, Cj?
December 19th, 2008 at 12:22 pm
I met so many people at NME that it would be hard for me to say. It is very likely. I have attended the last three (two in Ontario and one in Vegas.)
As you apparently heard on Evo@11 – if it was in Vegas, I may not remember quite clearly. I was at the Coverville concert, but I was removed from the event by my husband who decided I needed to “go eat something to absorb all of that alcohol.” *blush*
December 19th, 2008 at 12:30 pm
Yeah, I don’t think I met you at the Coverville 500, I was being a bit shy and stiff at a table near the stage. There were a fair number of folks I met at breakfast on Sunday…

Jack, were we at the same breakfast?
December 19th, 2008 at 1:09 pm
It’s all coming back to me now. Yes, Paul.. I think I remember meeting you at breakfast. I believe you were actually sitting nearby across from me.
December 19th, 2008 at 1:11 pm
It’s now sounding quite likely that we at the very least almost nearly met and had breakfast in the same vicinity at the same time.
December 19th, 2008 at 1:13 pm
Unfortunately I can’t recall anything distinctive I would have done or said then, so I can’t confirm for certain certain…
Perhaps I gave out a demo CD or two, though I can’t remember if I had them with me at breakfast…

For whatever reason, I was able to download the mix file without trouble. Guess the server needed it’s morning coffee before it was ready to deal with me.

December 19th, 2008 at 8:14 pm
My hair is badass!

December 20th, 2008 at 10:17 am
Hi Deadpan.
Last house maintenance day before guests arrive.
Rented a 12 foot step ladder to replace bulbs in light trays on a 16 foot ceiling.
Not my first (or 2nd or 3rd) choice for getting “high” but someone had to do it.
“Hey, no one’s been vacuuming up here!”
Remind me to speak to the staff. Oh … that’s me. ;)
and let me add, “Let it snow.Let it snow.Let it snow.”
Back up my ladder now. Have to have it back in 2 hours.
December 20th, 2008 at 11:27 am
Just don’t do any of that “fly like an eagle” stuff, JJ. We’ve already established that Cheyenne scored that role.
December 20th, 2008 at 11:41 am
Since our early genetic ancestors discovered the value of the stick, man has forever been seeking better and better incarnations of it. From the spear, to the club, to the sword, to the nuclear aircraft carrier it has evolved into ever more powerful implements of war.
Yet locally, as man become more domesticated, he has not been able to shake the need for the comfortable grip of a stick in his hand. In earlier days, men carried canes to satisfy the deep seeded need to be equipped for battle while appearing to have risen above such urges.
But, those urges have never left men. Today, sitting in front of his ever larger flat panel television, man holds tight to the remote control and the power that it gives him over this window to the world.
And now, I have found and acquired the latest and greatest in the line stretching back to the old clicker:
http://tinyurl.com/harmony-one
And, by the way, the wife also recognizes and appreciates its ultimate coolness. She even lets me use it from time to time :)
December 20th, 2008 at 11:52 am
Ed: Totally agree. My friends have raved about this remote. I have not gotten one yet. :(
December 20th, 2008 at 11:55 am
So Ed, you can use that remote for hunting or one-on-one combat?
December 20th, 2008 at 1:34 pm
This is the stick I have.

Works well with the 360. My only complaint would be that the controls to it have a bit of lag. But it makes using the Xbox 360/dvd/dvr/television a lot more simple.

At that price I think I’ll stick to the remotes that come with the various bits of electrical equipment.
December 20th, 2008 at 4:02 pm
I was thinking that too, Van. But I haven’t made the leap into HD yet. We did buy my parents a BluRay player for Christmas, so we’ll experience it at there house.
December 20th, 2008 at 5:16 pm
Van – Please let me know what you think of the mixtape? Anyone else for that matter. It is important to receive some honest feedback on the production.
December 20th, 2008 at 6:25 pm
Joe, Amazon is where I ordered mine from, but that’s about $15 more than what I paid. I bet it will come down again in a few days.

The one thing I might do, if it’s ok with you WNDR, is I’m going to break break it up so I have the songs individually and therefore can add them to my “shuffle”

I threw Fred an Ginger in as well and that wasn’t thoroughly scoffed at.
I’m really warming to Gene and Majel … I’ll have to see what the committee thinks about that.
December 21st, 2008 at 1:40 pm
What is the correct pronunciation of Majel ?
December 21st, 2008 at 4:39 pm
I believe it’s pronounced “May-Gel” – I’ve heard it different ways, but interviews with her pronounce it this way and I’d assume that she instructed them correctly before the interviews were released.

ahhh the movie. I called in a voicemail to share my thoughts with everyone, but in a nutshell, I’d have to say that while Keanu is the hawtness in the movie and he does a fine job at the part – the movie was very flat and boring. I could think of at least 42 or more things I could have done for 2 hours that I would have enjoyed more.

I dunno Cj. . . those oreo thingies were delicious.
December 22nd, 2008 at 2:44 pm
Sooo these Snowjacks…do they work like voodoo dolls?
December 22nd, 2008 at 2:52 pm
More like reverse voodoo dolls. You touch them and they make you feel cold.

It’s raining here. I know that isn’t the most exciting thing you’ve probably heard all day, but I went outside and I got wet while retrieving mail. I’m getting multiple packages daily. I love getting packages!
Jack, I’m making chocolate mint flavored of the oreo truffles today. I’m glad you enjoyed yours. :D There are plenty more where those game from.

December 22nd, 2008 at 3:51 pm
MMM, Carnitas! We’re having prime rib too, ditto. I found it at $4.88/lb at Albertson’s right after Thanksgiving. In fact, better go get it out of the freezer.
We just got home from shopping (hell) and seeing Milk – great film.

Leftovers here tonight.

We’re about to watch The Savages, and do our laundry. Tomorrow, we hit the road for 6 days.

Re: Downloads – Woa! Sheep crossing.
Somewhat related. “Fresh Air” interview with some know-it-all who was defending the internet vs. music industry.
He was gushing on about how perhaps some big stars were losing some of there money because of the internet – but that this “marvel of technology” was allowing so many MANY other artists to make money with their music.
I think he was being very misleading. There is a difference between “making money” and “making a living” … or even being able to cover your costs.
Have we really made a step forward when instead of one guy making a hundred thousand dollars you have a hundred thousand guys/girls making 1 dollar?

December 24th, 2008 at 8:05 am
The big problem with iTunes sales is that it still relies on traditional marketing means; i.e. marketing from the same groups that manipulate radio markets. So, most people go to buy tunes they already know.
Exploring music within iTunes, and finding recommendations, is a difficult process. Genius may make that easier, but it has a long way to go.

I agree with ditto, the marketing is still done by the same groups. That’s what is so cool about Wander Radio, Getting a Leg Up, Bands Under the Radar, MSRcast and Coverville, they sift through the crap and offer a fresh new experience. Here’s a free mult-million dollar idea for any budding capitalist. Create a cheap service that creates custom playlists for free music, like from MySpace. Pick a genre of music you’re interested in and the service interfaces with MySpace and downloads ten picks. New picks every month for only $5.99. :)

I guess the cool thing is that IF you are the sort who is aware that there is really good music “out there” and you are willing to search for it … the Internet has opened a world of possibility to you.
… or if you hang out with that sort of crowd and therefor would receive the 2nd hand buzz. (that was me … )
December 24th, 2008 at 8:44 am
Time for me to make another 1-800-askthedeadpan call.
I have an older relative asking for a recommendation on a bluetooth set for her Samsung SGH-A437.
Anyone have a cost effective, SIMPLE to use recommendation?
I have yet to enter with the bluetooth universe.
December 24th, 2008 at 9:02 am
ditto, will do!
JOe: As it turns out, I bought Teresa a bluetooth ear piece for her cell phone. It was a Samsung model, and we haven’t try it yet. But it was on sale at Fry’s for $20 and had a $15 mail in rebate.
December 24th, 2008 at 9:07 am
Rhettro: As I’m sure you (and probably Jack?) understand, you use two completely different sets of “muscle memories” to play an actual guitar and to use a GH controller. Hence the guys from Rush making comments like, “I’m starting to get a feel for it.”
December 24th, 2008 at 9:12 am
I myself was playing some Guitar Hero at a friend’s house last night. I wish I could play an actual guitar, so I could compare the experiences. I made my first foray into Medium last night, after about an hour of songs on Easy. That was fun.
December 24th, 2008 at 9:21 am
Most people I know who actually CAN play the guitar well, haven’t had good things to say about Rockband or Guitar Hero. My hubby plays the guitar, but he loves Rockband so that’t not universal.
FYI – My Xbox360 gamertag is Xarnya and Dan’s is Danthol – so if that’s your platform, please add us.
December 24th, 2008 at 9:22 am
That’s (not that’t)
December 24th, 2008 at 9:23 am
Amy: I’ve played both and they are quite different, though for the harder difficulties, there are some similar skills. The important thing to realize, however, is that Guitar Hero is not a simulator. It is a rhythm game, much like Dance Dance Revolution.
While you may never learn how to play guitar from Guitar Hero, you may start to hear things in songs that you haven’t before. IMO, the best thing about these games is that you get a new appreciation for music.
Drums, in Rock Band, are a little different. They are closer to a simulator than the guitars.
December 24th, 2008 at 9:29 am
Joe, whatever you do, don’t get them one of these:
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-WEP200-Bluetooth-Wireless-Black/dp/B000GAO9T2
I got one a few years ago as I though a light weight, hold in the ear type unit was exactly what I was looking for. There could not be a worse way to do it than this Samsung one. It hurts, and it falls out all the time. Why they couldn’t have done something like the earbuds I got for TEB (and that I use myself), I don’t know.
Anyway, steer clear of that one.
December 24th, 2008 at 9:29 am
Cj: I’ll add you to my friends list. :)
I’ve run across some “snobs” that sneer that say, “You aren’t really playing music, you know?” I think they miss the point. Most people that play these games are under no illusion that they can play a real instrument. It is a game. It is fun. You can hang out with friends and listen to great music.
It’s no accident that music stores have seen a surge in sales and requests for guitar lessons. I think that’s a fabulous bonus. Perhaps in 5-10 years we’ll see the first crop of great new *real* bands that were inspired by these games. Let’s see what the naysayers say then. :)
December 24th, 2008 at 9:30 am
Too much eggnog in the coffee this morning CJ? ;)
December 24th, 2008 at 9:31 am
ditto: I agree. Guitar Hero is a rhythm game because your efforts are focused on executing physical responses in time with music. I think you can, indeed, appreciate music on a new level after playing the game. I haven’t actually played drums in RB, but aren’t they too close together and at the wrong angle to each other?
Currently stuck in my head: The song I miraculously managed to get 77% on in Medium – “Sunshine of Your Love.”
December 24th, 2008 at 9:32 am
That would be AWESOME if real bands inspired by GH/RB appeared on the scene. :-)
December 24th, 2008 at 9:33 am
Friend request sent. Your husband is really good at drums, Cj!

Amy: I agree. It would be awesome.
I’m still struggling with hard.
December 24th, 2008 at 9:38 am
ditto, He’s good at drums? We’ll load up the game later and accept.
I’m best at singing and I’m pretty good at drums. I’m horrible at guitar no matter how much I practice. I want to be good, but I’m just not.
It’s definitely all about having rhythm. I agree!
December 24th, 2008 at 9:39 am
Cj: He got 100% on an expert song for drums. Maybe he should get a drum set. ;)
December 24th, 2008 at 9:39 am

December 24th, 2008 at 9:39 am
With Jack on guitar, you 3 could start a band. ;)
December 24th, 2008 at 9:40 am
OK, I get it now… he did some song that gave him the expert thingie on drums. It’s a bit falsified. I’m always a little happy when I do well on drums because he says they are “so hard.” tee hee
December 24th, 2008 at 9:40 am
Question: Does Rock Band give you the option of setting different instruments to different difficulty levels, so that one less-experienced person doesn’t destroy the entire band’s score for each song?
December 24th, 2008 at 9:45 am
CP:Coverville Top 40 part 2
December 24th, 2008 at 9:46 am
Amy: Yes you can have different difficulty levels per band member in Rock Band.
December 24th, 2008 at 9:51 am
Oh yeah, Amy. I play everything on Easy and hubby is usually on medium. When my best friend comes to stay with us, he plays on Expert so we are all over the board.
December 24th, 2008 at 9:52 am
Awesome. :-)
December 24th, 2008 at 9:52 am
Yes playing guitar in Rock Band / Guitar Hero is a lot different than the real thing. But the goals are completely different. When using a real instrument you are trying to create music and express yourself. When playing Rock Band / Guitar Hero you are playing a rhythm game that is really a celebration about music. They both have their merits, but the focus is completely different. Guitar Hero actually inspired me to start playing real guitar again, but other than a sense of timing, there isn’t anything that practicing one will give you an advantage in for the other. That’s why I think the Rush video is so hilarious, the real band, failing at their own song.
December 24th, 2008 at 9:54 am
Thanks for the blue tooth hints!
December 24th, 2008 at 9:56 am
BTW: Net time someone tells you that Rock band or GH isn’t really you playing an instrument … you should point out that your favorite 1st person shooter isn’t really you killing things either. Since apparently it isn’t OBVIOUS to them!

It’s funny, I said something positive about Guitar Hero on a website devoted to real guitar and a lot of people come out of the wood work to pounce on me. LOL They assume that you are someone who thinks playing Rock Band will make you awesome with real guitar. No that’s not the point, Guitar Hero emulates the experience of being in a real band and is a lot of fun and as such is a good motivator if you are inclined to learn to play a real instrument. I still had some douche bags trying to lecture me that a plastic controller wasn’t like a real guitar. Seriously? LOL

I’ve got cookies, spinach dip, candies, a pot of beans, and a new buffalo chicken dip recipe that I’m trying out all on the docket today!
