  My kingdom for a good guitar! (Rockband)

  Like many people, my Rockband guitar is broke, it was broke a week after I bought it, yet I've used it all this time, even managed to break the top 1000 in the leaderboards for a little while. About 3 months ago it just basically completely stopped working for some things, overdrive was thing of the past, as was whammying and fast strumming....

  Well the gods be praised because at just after 5:00 am central Rockband patch v1.05 went up, I was lucky to catch it, just before shutting down Firefox I saw the topic on the PS3 boards.. All my 100+ DLC songs can now be put to good use as I have 4 guitar hero guitars as opposed to my 1 broken Rockband guitar.

  It works fairly well, better than I thought it would... With this kind of support Harmonix has secured at the very least a purchase of the RB 2 disc from me..

  So glad I can also play with my brother now as well, who hates the RB guitar in general. What with Death Magnetic coming tomorrow for GH DLC this is gonna be a rythm game filled weekend ^_^

  JRPG-a-Palooza! and other stuff.

  Well I recently celebrated my 18th birthday and with the inevitable cash haul that followed I decided to expand my JRPG library.. via ebay of course. 200 dollars later I'm now waiting for the following games in the mail..
  Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga 1
  Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga 2
  Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne
  Disgaea: Hour of Darkness
  Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories
  also
  Zone of the Enders 2: The Second Runner
  Starcraft 64
  and
  Elfen Lied the complete collection on DVD

  Not a bad haul..

  In other news, I finally got around to seeing Tropic Thunder yesterday, It was utterly ridiculous, probably my favorite comedy of the year (although i still gotta see Pineapple Express, Step Brothers, and The Rocker.) Idk why, but this group of people (lame people) are trying to get the movie pulled because Ben Stillers charater did this movie in the movie called "Simple Jack" where he plays a mentally handicapped farm boy which gets referenced quite a bit.. I thought it was hilarious and will probably see it again once it hits the cheap theatres...

  Level 29 and first take on SCIV..

  Well it took long enough, after getting sent back to level 27 over and over again via moderation i finally lurked long enough to make it to level 29

  Like many people i bought Soul Calibur IV on the 29th, with Soul Calibur II being my favorite game of all time this buy was an obvious one for me.. although i hated Soul Calibur 3, so much so in fact that I only played it for maybe 8 hours total (just shy of my 200 hours on SC2 (PS2 and GC versions) ), so far i've only had about 3 hours with SCIV, and as much as i absouletely loath how cheap the Apprentice and Vader are I could easilly say its not worse than Soul Calibur 2 so far, not better, but definitly not worse.. I don't get what the end boss for arcade mode is supposed to be, and would much have rathered just fought Inferno once again.. but what really shines imo is Story mode, and the Tower Mode... both excellent additions to the franchise..

  The new characters so far are pretty good, Hilde of course is the best so far, although i still have about 3 to unlock... as far as how it controls, i couldn't seem to find a control scheme i liked, but D has worked for me so far.. Still finding my rythm with the game but its going great so far.. Critical Finishers are the best new addition so far, and are thankfully not game-breaker moves like many fighting games that add them end up being..
