So I still am having problems with the drum footpedal thingy.  Also, the game looks weird on my LCD tv, it's kinda dragging.  Guitar is a little easier than GH.  Singing is harder than I thought.

what was the last video/pc game that left you totally obseesed?

Mine, the original warlords. It's been a long time.

Tho "original" Warlords?
Something tells me you weren't referring to the original Warlords 



I can't really think of the last game that left me totally obsessed.

[fatty fat fat]

my bad, it was warlords II. Great f-ing game, very addicting.

have you "calibrated" it yet?

[pissclams]

I was hoping that's what it was but it wasn't.
I calibrated last night and it helped a ton so I wasn't getting boo'd off stage every song, but there's still some strange lag. It's a setting on my tv I think, although GH2 doesn't lag like this.  I've got to play with the settings and figure it out.

kougs I got the demo for Ace Combat 6 or whatever that flying game is you were talking about... kinda sux.

video games are getting too mainstream today w/ crap like guitar hero, rock band and WoW.  True video game nerds who play things like final fantasy, marvel super heroes vs street fighter and dragon quest series scoff at you n00bs.

[pissclams]

the only n00b here is you, n00b.  don't be such a newb.  basically you calling me a newb is retarded since i'm not one.

What didn't you like about it? I haven't gotten it yet.

the graphics were pretty good, i just couldn't really get into it.  it's pretty hard to fly the aircraft but you pick it up after a while.  I guess I didn't like not being able to cut on a corner to pursue the jets and tanks you're trying to shoot down, it's more like chess in the sky, but since i don't really like playing chess as a video game it's just kinda boring to me.

i can see how it'd be a fun game but just not for me.  again, the graphics are 1080p and very cool

Yeah, I understand. I wouldn't mind if the gameplay was a little more arcade-esque. My gaming supernerd coworker declared today that Assassin's Creed kicks ass. Perhaps I should give it a look.

Bullsh*t.  My nerd cred is unassailable.  Gaming becoming mainstream is wonderful.  Bigger audiences draw bigger investment.  Ambitious projects like Rock Band don't happen 10 years ago.  Hell, these days you can even mention something like a Guitar Hero in a social setting and not get laughed out of the room.  Usually.

Your stance reeks of indie rock snob:  If it's on the radio, it must suck!

I am sadly disappointed in the drum set... 

First of all--it looks like e-drums...yuk
Secondly--no 'tom' where the snare goes? WTF--I don't even know how to play drums if the snare isn't between my legs...that's f' up.  I'm sure I could play if I had to, but christ...did anyone do research before they put out this set?  Do they really want me to play a 'high-hat' with my left hand?  fug that.
