Guitar Hero 3

Alright so I’ve played Guitar Hero 2 and I loved it. Got it over the summer to quench my boredom and to prepare for Guitar Hero 3. As time went by I got better and better until I finally got to Hard. Now I wasn’t amazing or anything, but I passed the songs either 1st or second try. If I didn’t then some practicing was required and boom I got to the next song. I stopped after a while due to halo 3, Bioshock, and whatnot. One GH3 came I said fuck it and gave up GH2. Medium went well until the last 3 sets. There was a jump in difficulty but oneI could cope with since I was used to playing Medium. Not so on Hard. I’ve finally gotten up to the last set after my fingers were brutally mauled by set 7 (mainly “3’s and 7’s” and “Knights of Cydonia”). Now I’ve heard complaints, but I figured that I’m better than most of the other casual Guitar Hero players(as opposed to the freakishly good kids i know) I know so it can’t be bad. Well boy was i wrong. The last set is ridiculous. Cliffs of Dover isn’t too bad once you hands get used to what you’re supposed to do, but the other songs are ridiculous. Now don’t say that I just suck and need more practice. The songs look like rainbows! There’s no way I can beat them without destroying my hands. The jump is simply insane. Not sure what they were thinking with this game, but at some point it just gets boring losing the song because you cannot play it and most likely never will be able to. I’ve been replaying other songs on Hard and trying to five star them. I figure if I can get really good at the other songs, that means I can move on to the other, insanely hard songs.  At least GH2 had the difficulty go up progressively, not exponentially. Oh well time to get back to practicing Guitar Hero.

My First GvG

GvG is a term for Guild vs. Guild used in Guild Wars. It is pretty much a battle between 8 people from two guilds. There are huge championships and everything involving this. Well not my really first GvG in Guild Wars, but my Dervish’s first GvG and the one that got me into the PvP of Guild Wars. I had a bunch of fun and I know the rest of my guildmates did as well. Now I have not been very interactive with my guild and many of the people do not know me so well. This is partly due to the fact I was not on that often anymore. Now that I have more free time I’m back and I hope to get closer to my guild. GvG is a fun way to do this and I love it. I now have to think about my Dervish profession in a new way because I’m facing real players not computer controlled monsters. It’s great, competitive and challenging. I can’t wait to do it again, no matter if we lose or win.Here are a few screens from our battle:

Now this isn’t really the first real post I wanted to make, but it was a great experience I had today. I will delve into rant this weekend (tomorrow) most likely. Topic: Religion. This will be where a lot is revealed about me. And Then some of my writing will be posted next week around Christmas. Stay tuned and comment if you wish. Til next time.
