About Me

edit

My name is Anthony and I'm a gamer.

I have almost exclusively played my games on consoles from the Atari 2600 my Dad had when I was little to the NES, Genesis, SNES (After PSX came out), PSX, N64 (After Gamecube Came Out), Two PS2s, Xbox, Gamecube, Xbox 360, PS3 and Finally the Wii. when I was young, we weren't too well off financially so most systems we had in our house were limited to 4 or 5 games which we would receive on Christmas as a family gift, so I missed out on a ton of classics. And recently I got into the PC gaming Circle with Half Life 2 in June of '07.

In recent years with my having a job, I have been able to buy consoles and games with great regularity and because of this my gaming horizons have expanded greatly. And because of this I spent a large amount of time playing games when I'm not at work, school (CSUSB-Senior) or with the band, I'm playing games.

So yeah... that's all you need to know for now. And if you really want to know more, don't be afraid to message me.. I need some more friends to game with.

Rock Band Finger (and the broken guitar)
Grocerspride \| 12:50 AM on 12.03.2007	5 comments

So I've been playing rock band since oh.. about 3 today.. not consistently but when i wasn't playing rock band I was playing with my band, so it's almost the same deal.

Anyway, I spent my time before practice playing solo career on Hard and unlocking the bonus tracks (most of which I really don't like) so now my fingers are aching on my left hand from the tiny rock band guitar and playing bass for a couple of hrs... BFD, right?

What's worse than than it that I'm playing Suffragete City on Hard and my guitar is starting not to register upstrokes anymore. (I already ordered a replacement) It was fine before because I'm a finger plucking bassist and adapting to only playing upstrokes on the guitar was easy, but I'm starting to get annoyed because this stupid song (that I dig) has gotten the best of me two days in a row.

Last night my friend and I played this song it seems like a dozen times when he was on drums and i was singing and playing guitar... it's kicking the shit out of me.

So yeah, I just needed some time away from the guit but as I go back I leave you with a question?

Is there any song on Rock Band giving you trouble and/or is your malfunctioning guitar wrecking your fun time with the game?

P.S. Despite the broken guitar, I still love the game and I'm only not playing the drums or singing because people need to sleep in my house.

All my 360 guitars are broken =(.

It fucking sucks, really, the best I have is the Explorer with ONLY a broken whammy bar (and I've been too busy to look for a "do it yourself" fix), the Les Paul has that thing where it sometimes won't register a couple of frets(mostly green) and the Stratocaster, same as everyone else, the broken strum bar.

my rock band guitar double strums

i got lucky with both guitar hero controllers i own, i beat the shit out of them, and no issues... i.. DID tweak the wireless les paul when i got it and have had no issues since...

but yeah, rockband controllers are the suck..

Gah... ealry adopter hardware problems.. at least my loud ass 360 hasn't red ringed yet.

I need to get another guitar eventually, but i want to wait and see if RB comes out with a Telecaster controller.
