Guitar Hero 3.

Finished.

Finito.

Done.

@see title of this post for my only thought on this game right now.

Exhibit A, Exhibit B, Exhibit C.

Well, it's almost over. I bested Metallica's "One" in Guitar Hero III on Expert.

Exhibit A.

So ... very ... close!

Practice

I would not say that I'm a good Guitar Hero player, but I like the game.

In the past few weeks, I've taken a keen interest in beating Slayer's "Raining Blood". It's the one song that I've gone into practice and have worked on techniques to make it through various parts of the song. I consider this to be one of the hardest songs in Guitar Hero III.

Roughly 15 minutes ago I beat it.

Exhibit A, Exhibit B, Exhibit C

Here is a glimpse of the torture that is "Raining Blood" (no, this is not me playing).

Update: I love this gem from the song's Wikipedia entry.

"Raining Blood" is a playable song in the video game Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, where it is renowned for being one of the hardest songs in the Career Mode setlist, mainly due to one section where you must execute pull-offs at a rate of ~14 notes per second.

A few hours ago I got Ouendan 2 in the mail from Pink Godzilla.

I'm already finished with the game. It was J-poperrific.

I am completely enamored with using the Powerball Gyro. I have zen-like precision in both hands.

That is all.

SRSLY. It's awesome.

That is all.

X-plorer Controller Strum Switch

Sat, 3 May 2008 15:22:09 -0400

Apparently I am so hardcore at Guitar Hero that I broke the X-plorer Controller Strum Switch as shown hm'yah.

\m/

That little metal clip above the spring should be attached to a plate that then makes contact with another plate to indicate a strum. There is one switch for the up strum and one switch for the down strum. Rather than spend another $60 on a new controller, I'm going to try my hand at a little hardware hackery to repair this broken controller. GuitarHeroParts.com to the rescue! And wouldn't it be my luck that they have replacement Strummer Switches.

It should mostly be a matter of unsoldering the old switches and soldering in the new switches ... mostly.
