Re: RockBand. More Awesome.

Pleasure is as great as you would expect Bang Camaro to be. It is, dare I say it... better than Push Push.


By the way. I found another song that causes me great pain. But only on the chorus parts. ( The section labeled Fast Part is a good example ) Everything else I can nail.

I still haven't taken the time to connect my 360 to my LAN yet.

Also: I was at Best Buy today and they had a ****ton of 360 bundles available.

Re: RockBand. More Awesome.

I got it for the PS3. Fiddled around tonight on drums, etc. I'm not really very good at them yet, as hitting the bass pedal etc while hitting upper things and off and on and bum-bum real quicklike is throwing me off.

Give me time. I am tired and I played for a long time in addition to working out a bunch before hand and entertaining guests at a party so god i'm tired

Oh and about singing: it seems like sometimes no matter how I bend my pitch, it doesn't acknowledge it. Like, I'll be singing and doing fine, then a few notes will be lower. I'll lower my pitch and it won't be enough for it, so I lower it even more and it does nothing. So I lower it as low as is possible for me (ie all the way down to a bass-hum), and it still does nothing. At times like these, my only choice to not do poorly would be to actually bend my pitch UP and sing the particular note like I'm on a different octave. That is ****ed up... Is anyone else having trouble with their singing pitch simply being IGNORED for no reason? Like... I'm ****ing singing at the lowest point that is physically possible for me (and that's not even really singing at that point, just a bassy hum) and it's telling me I'm still too high (in fact, it acts as though I've not changed my pitch at all).

What difficulty are you playing on? Easy is a lolfest, and medium is fun. Playing on hard or expert is an anti-fun way of forcing yourself to try to abuse the system as much as possible, unless you know the tone and lyrics well, and it's very much within your range. Even then, held notes are too much of a benefit, and notes that slide up or down in pitch have to be thoroughly exaggerated. Sometimes there are subtle pitch changes in the vocals of the song not included in the game, so of course, hard and expert are stingy enough to penalize you for singing correctly. Hard and expert could really only be worth playing for bragging rights, which is silly.

Oh, playing guitar and singing is fun as hell. It's just really hard. Playing drums and singing, on the other hand, is very incapacitating, and not very fun at all.

Re: RockBand. More Awesome.

I was playing on medium. I've found that some songs I can get through well, other songs I can barely pass, and other songs I fail miserably. And this is all with using the same skill level for all-- seriously trying to sing and not ****ing around humming and **** to get through.

The difficulty of singing each song is pretty random throughout. I haven't had any problems with medium myself, though, so I can't help you there.

Re: RockBand. More Awesome.

As for singing and drumming, which I had earlier promised - I drummed and sang Creep by Radiohead tonight, both on medium, and got 98% on the drums and 99% on the vocals. I am most pleased with this.

Re: RockBand. More Awesome.

Since playing drums and singing are both almost the exact same as doing them in real life, let me say that the ability to do both at the same time means you are awesome. Managing four harmonized limbs at once is one thing, because they're in pairs doing virtually the same thing - counting.

Adding pitch in to the mix is absolutely mindboggling. I can't do the simplest singing while doing the simplest beats on the drums - I forget about one or the other and inevitably **** up.

Good show, Mal.

Re: RockBand. More Awesome.

When I was ~5 years old I could sing really terribly and play simple drumbeats at the same time. My songwriting ability obviously was not that good, and my dad was not that great on guitar, so it sucked.

Moral of the story: I can't wait to try that on Rock Band

Re: RockBand. More Awesome.

How are you guys pulling off singing and playing at the same time? Mic stand? I considered fabricating a rig out of a coat hanger or something, but decided against it since I wasn't sure if it would be worth ruining a hanger for it.
