Guitar Hero + real guitar = Rocksmith/Rocksmith2014.

I love that game, but it's kicking my ass so hard.

about that

though I do have to say Rocksmith's GUI is a good 50 times better than RB3's for this purpose

Also, about the earlier discussion on difficult in Guitar Hero vs real guitar, there is one example I can think of in Rock Band 3 itself.

Antibodies by Poni Hoax. The pro tracks are fun in general, certainly not frustrating.

The 5-button tracks, however, are ungodly annoying to play. I can 5-star it easy on pro guitar but only 3 star, barely, on 5-button. On keys, the gap is smaller, but still more frustrating in five key (because the charting is really arbitrary whereas the pro keys part is, you know, chord arppegiations).

I tried playing Rocksmith once, but the UI was horrible... it's so hard to see where/when the notes are coming from when they sort of curve out from the background like that. Seriously, I could probably have done well at most of the songs I tried, if they had just done something more logical.
Even just a bar scrolling across some tab would have made it doable. :-\

Huh. And here, I thought the UI was a whole lot better than anything I'd seen thus far. I'm still interested in BandFuse, though.

Oh yes, I have it too. 2014 is much improved, though. But honestly, in the three-ish months of using it, I probably made more progress than in the last three years.

The only thing that pisses me off is that Session Mode, while a great addition, does not have enough settings, at least much needed ones like SETTING THE GODDAMN RHYTHM TO SOMETHING ELSE THAT 4/4. I want to be able to play at least 2/4, 3/4, 6/8 and 7/8. Dammit, metronomes can do that!

Also, they added almost every single mode, as well as all Western pentatonics, Harmonic Minor and Phrygian Dominant, but for some strange reason did not add Locrian. I guess that's because Locrian is ultra-weird, what with having a diminished tonic and all, but it's still odd that it isn't there.

Oh, and song skill level decaying after you didn't play it for a while. After you max out a song, it only gets frustrating and confusing, unless you decide to just play from memory.



BandFuse - it has a big problem. Too little, too late, namely. The devs dropped the ball and it got released after RS2014, and the main draw of BandFuse are things that were already improved either in RS or in 2014 (Bass playing, Lick Lab is apparently the same thing as RS2014's Lessons, except apparently without practice tracks, and the celebrity lessons have been criticized for sometimes being less the person teaching and more just showing off, and the setlist has a lot of songs covered by RS2014). So general critic consensus is, RS2014 is better.

My suitemate (he of the voodoo doll) just popped in to the room and we all talked about majors.

I have never before heard a self-proclaimed young-earth creationist take part in the "STEM majors will inherit the earth" circlejerk (he's biochem pre-med).

@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.

Biochem =/= Bio + Chem. I can see how he can do both with some mental gymnastics.

I'm getting an intense urge to play Corridor 7: alien invasion again.

... Why?

Edit: Aaannnd it looks like my CD has suffered a slow, quiet death by bitrot. I guess that's one nostalgia trip I won't be reliving anymore. Should of backed it up I guess.
