Ah yes ladies, gentlemen, and trolls of destructoid, welcome to another lively rendition of Randomtoid. Got a couple of things I'd like to write about today, so I hope you got your attention span hats on, as I know my ADHD will kick in about half-way through. So, grab your pants in the crotch section and enjoy.


Greatest. Game. Ever.

First off, I'd like to discuss Rock Band 2. For the first few hours I played it, I was kinda disappointed. Yeah, there were new songs, yeah, some of them were good, but overall I thought that I'd just purchased a $60 expansion pack, which, if that's all it amounted too, would have totally been fine with me. But after experiencing the ease in which to move about and add players, not to mention the lack of the "tier system," I'm thoroughly enjoying myself with it. And the further I've moved on in it, the better the songs have become, the more I want to play. And the contest/challenges that pop up in the different cities that rank you against the world are freaking sweet. I was hooked on Rock Band, but with RB2, I think I've found my crack. I've seriously been playing for 3+ hours a day since I got it. <3<3<3

Also, I've become dangerously addicted to DLC songs. Just last night I bought the Megadeth album, the Live pack, the Who greatest hits pack, and the Grateful Dead pack. From the few songs I found that I played, they were all good decisions. Really need to practice on the Megadeth though, because they just kinda throw notes at you like a Guitar Hero 3 done right pain remix. Either that or I need to not drink beer while playing. Which is probably the answer.



So I finally bit the bullet and upgrayedded my HDD. The two d's are for a double dose of Jesus that's expensive. Lady at Gamestop tried to sell me a refurbished one for $100, no transfer cable or anything, then tried to sell me the new one for the old price. She seemed genuinely surprised when it turned out that yes, it dropped $30 from the last time she looked. I also got one of the sexy wireless headsets too. Then, after ringing me up, she asks, "Will that be all?", followed by looking at the screen and saying, "Oh...well I guess that you are already spending alot...nevermind." It was nice. No pre-orders or any of that jazz, but then again I go to that store pretty often to see if they have any good discounted old games. And I traded in the old 20 gig HDD for a copy of Earth Defense Force 2017 and 31 cents. Not a great deal, but at least I didn't have to buy anything.


Yep, slow day is slow

I think I've finally turned my roommate off of WoW, which is awesome. For the last two years he's been trying and trying, horribly unsuccessfully btw, to get me to play WoW. I'm just really not interested in playing any game that takes me 900 hours to level up. Except console RPG's, I don't mind those so much. Maybe it's because I can do them by myself, and don't have to make "friends" online to be able to attempt a three hour slugfest where I spam support magic while other people spam attack magic/regular attacks/sleep just to be able to get the chance to say, "Hey! I wasted my life on this just to get this one piece of armor! Yeah me!" Anyway, he called me last night to let me know that he's probably not going to get the expansion because he's really starting to get into the console experience. Hell, he got Castle Crashers and The Force Unleashed in the last week and he's playing the crap out of them. Hurray for conversions.


Apparently NARP stands for something else too

Alright, last and semi-least, I'm gonna throw this out here. I'm thinking about throwing a Dallas NARP sometime a few months out from here. Just want to see if anyone is interested. I finally have a big enough place to where I could get have some people out and not feel too crowded, and have enough space to where people could crash and not feel like sardines or the army. So if anyone's interested just leave a comment or pm me.

Thanks for reading, have a pleasant day.
