The general public can't play more than 3 buttons on the guitar.

And you have to remind them to strum every song.

excuse me... I should have clarified. The general-rhythm-gaming-public-who-doesn't-want-to-have-to-buy-another-peripheral but has a midi keyboard lying around or can get one at GoodWill/thrift store for 20 bucks.

 

[overthehill99]

So then I'll call them sharp notes forever, regardless of the technicalities that makes such phrasing inaccurate.

I don't see how Harmonix can fit all this info on screen anyway. Multiplayer especially.

You won't have to worry about that anyway. You'll only be able to play a full band on PS3.

 

[ahvostik]

was always taught they were sharps of the white note before!

YES! they are sharps of the white note before... but they're also flats of the white note after so you should just call them black keys.

I WILL CALL THEM SHARP KEYS. FOREVER. A SHARP TO B, B MINOR DOESN'T EXIST.

[Christoff Yurievich]

I'm retiring to the living room because no one laughed at my flat > sharp joke. I'm so disappointed in myself.

with all the technical terms and actual discussion being flung about, I wouldn't be too depressed about that.

 

[PedroRVD]

thanks a lot Baker!

My contribution is made =) A cousin used his paypal account for me, hope you can confirm it shaggy.

It really warms my heart the amount of money donated...and even lurkers coming to help. When Xev comes to see this it will be the greatest moment of the year!

5 songs for RB3 I want/have realistic hope to get in the game:

Stratovarius - Black Diamond
Bon Jovi - Its my life
Megadeth - Symphony of Destruction
Coldplay - Clocks
Offspring - Why dont you get a job

I played the GDRB demo....the one thing I can say is that I absolutely LOVE how the drums sound for fills!

Yay! I can finally use this video!

[ahvostik]

anyway - if anybody wants to get full-band platinum stars and needs a Pro difficulty keyboard player in Rock Band 3 let me know.

I only play in Pro mode though. I mean... obviously... because you can only earn platinum stars in Pro difficulty.

 

[TheGreatDave]

Yay! I can finally use this video!

Edit: wait, that one's not long enough

I like the video, whatever the point is supposed to be.

Spoiler

I imagine it's that everything I know about piano is incorrect and 15 years old!

*edit* :lol at the end.

I fixed it, the one up now is the one I was looking for. The end is the important part.

 

[Jet Grind Radio!]

I really ought to watch that movie, one of these days.

okay - now I get it.

I love that movie. ...and was waiting for them to get all music theory when the first video quit out. nice reference.

so it's settled then... on the keyboard there are black keys and white keys and they can all be sharps and flats of each other.

"sharp keys" and "flat keys" don't exist. sharp notes and flat notes do though.

 

[birdman]

*edit* :lol at the end.

More movies need to make music theory jokes.

You need to, it's fantastic.

Yea they do. You can poke your finger on a sharp key.

Thank you! Good night! Don't forget to tip your waitress.

[BigBlackGamer]

if it's keytar I will buy GH6 and buy some GH DLC.

 

[Grecco]

Your going to buy GH6 anyways. Probably be the first one in this fucking thread. Even before me and Dave.

 

[BigBlackGamer]

Only if it comes out before RB3.

 

[ahvostik]

I haven't bought a GH game since GH3

that series is dead to me

 

[TheGreatDave]

BBG, don't even buy GH unless you buy a GH drum kit. Shit is horrible with a RB kit. Did you ever buy that Logitech thingy?

 

[Mileena]

I'm only buying GH6 if I need a new guitar

Spoiler

so it's very likely

My problem would be solved if HMX made a guitar that didn't blow ass, so get on it HMX.

You'll get GH6 anyway just to play with me for a few days :|

nah bro I couldn't find one. Gamestop had them for 99$ but it was never in stock.

edit: I see buy.com has them for 60$ but some shitty reviews.

 

[MrOctober]

Long ass day, I agree with Baker about Martyrs being "meh" only because it doesn't compare to the shit me and him watch, but taken as a general movie it's really good and it's tough to watch if you're not used to such things. Glad to hear about all the donations for Xev. I dig Spoon but not really the songs they picked.

Bed time.

 

[ahvostik]

I've been wanting ions since they were released but I'll probably hold out until Rock Band 3 is announced / released to see if new drum hardware / support is coming.

I want a hi-hat foot pedal god-beep-it!

 

[Mileena]

Mad Catz :lol

I got a couple IRL friends who might get it on PS3 so if I do get it, it'll most likely be on the superior console. My 360 is just sitting under my bed unplugged.

I thought we'd converted you

 

[Mileena]

meh, all my friends and relatives have PS3s and only one has a 360. If it was reversed I'd play 360 most of the time and rarely use PS3.

plus you mute fuckers on 360 never talk in RB while me, October and birdman have gay orgies.

 

[birdman]

That reminds me, it's been too long since one of our last escapades.

 

[ahvostik]

I have about 8 or 9 IRL friends with a 360 and only 1 with a PS3.

Do you live in the UK or something corkscrewblow?

 

[Mileena]

USA

most of my friends just don't give a shit about Halo/Gears

 

[ahvostik]

XBOX 360 is more than just Halo/Gears. It's XBOX Live /annual $ub$cription$

console wars omg you guys~!

different strokes / go to where your friends are. I have a PS3 but never play it because all my friends are on XBOX.

 

[Jet Grind Radio!]

I got The Trifecta! Even though, I've not played my Wii in months and my PS3 has been getting quite a bit of play lately.

 

[Mileena]

I should really just be a PC gamer because I don't think either of them are great consoles. This gen is boring.

That's in such bad taste. Too soon, man.

Really? I think this gen has a lot of great stuff. Then again, I like shitty series like KH.

I like jRPGs and fighting games, both of which have disappointed me so much compared to last gen.

 

[Jet Grind Radio!]

I can understand that. The JRPGs have been pretty subpar this gen, as a whole. I guess this generation is Shooter Country.

 

[ahvostik]

That's in such bad taste. Too soon, man.

so... saying "different strokes for different folks" is in bad taste?

I was being sincere. He plays PS3 because his friends are on PSN and I play XBOX because my friends are on XBOX Live.

too soon? I wasn't even trying to say either console is better... I don't get it birdman.

[Remfin]

The good news for ahvostik is no one will even remember this the next time he posts because he hasn't posted at least a thousand times in this thread alone.

 

[AMUSIX]

On tonal naming conventions:
It's a lot easier to name all notes in relation to F...so a G is an F##, an E is an Fb, an Eb is an Fbb, and so forth. That way, you never have to remember what key you're in, you just have to put 'F' and count the number of accidentals.

also...pulling out the trampoline...the keyboard implementation in RB3 is a bit different from what people might be expecting.



How is Red Dead's multiplayer? Worth playing? I'm slowly making it through the single player, so not ready to play multi yet, but wondering if I should even bother..


Oh, and since we're doing Cannibal the Musical praise...this scene is awesome:

It's alright, auto-aim pretty much kills all of the skill for head to head, but raiding gangs with a good posse can be pretty fun. I just finished the single player a few hours ago, was pretty awesome but I was slightly spoiled by a youtube comment a few days ago that took some of the impact away.

On to SMGII though.

play moar games bro.

 

[Ashour]

True these genres are shit this gen, but at the same time unlike the other gens there is at least one interesting game every freaking month of the year it's madness.
