CDogbert

Yes, the game supports headsets.

I'd play online with you if my drum pedal hadn't broken twice already. What instruments do you play?

What system are you playing on? I'm picking up two when it comes out in a few days, but I'm just buying the game, no instruments. I'm just going to use my Xplorer guitar until GH:WT comes out.

Chris, add me, Carbon Xe. Assuming 360.

CDogbert

You've got mail!

So I stopped playing for a long time because I was playing my fake instruments more than my real ones.

Bearing that in mind, I'm three songs away from finishing expert mode on guitar with no less than four stars on every song. :D

If only my drum pedal hadn't broken... twice...

CDogbert

Nevermind, two songs now...

EDIT: Nevermind, one song now. Guess which one.

My drum pedal is held together with metal strapping, duct tape and JBWeld.

It's fantastic!

No matter, I'm usually singing.

Don't say Green Grass, because I 5 star'd that the first time I played it.

CDogbert

And yes, that's a very nice piece of wood bolted to the top of the pedal holding it together where it broke the first time. I worked on a woodworker's computer, and the pedal itself just happened to break around that time... seemed adequate payment. :D

On expert?

CarbonXe

iTrader: (1)

Yes on expert, I don't see how it's possible to get less without failing...

CDogbert

Oh, well, that's what I'm doing. These endless sweepers in the second solo are agonizing; the farthest I've gotten is 80% before failing in the middle of one of them.

EDIT: Make that 86%.

A little advice

Tap with two hands.

When it does the YRGRYRGRYRGRYRG ect...

Keep your index on the green, then when it scales left (YRG) do right hand middle finger yellow, right hand index red, pull off for the green, then to get the red again, tap it with your LEFT HAND middle finger. So it will be 1, 2 pause 1, 1, 2 pause, 1, 1, 2.

Get it? lol

CDogbert

I get it. That means I have to switch to the Fender, though. I like my Gibson better. :\

CarbonXe

lol, without tapping, it's ____ing hard. I can get 96% on the solo with the Fender :D

CDogbert

Ugh. Why in the hell do I always have to play some stupid southern rock turd like Freebird or GG&HT or DWD2G to beat the game? You know what you had to beat in the original Guitar Hero?

Bark at the Goddamn Moon

So, Harmonix, if you're listening... stop making southern rock anthems the penultimate songs in your games. It's old and busted. Go back to kicking my ___ with epic hard rock; at least I had fun and it sounded better.

scion_jon

i still cant do enter sandman on medium, every other song i can do, and even half of the hard songs, i just really hate this song

btw i made my character look like ronald mcdonald....
