The Who

I would have killed someone to see this show. This is the smallest venue they've played since the 60s

Rock On

I can't believe that it actually came! My Guitar Hero 3 replacement disc came in the mail late last week.

Even though I do not have a surround system to take full advantage of the remastered disc, I do believe I hear a richer sound when playing. Of course it could just be me and it's all in my head.

Guitar Hero Wii faceplate looking FINE!

Well at least I got a free guitar faceplate out of the whole thing.

Good News, Bad News: Guitar Hero Edition

nobody@vox.com(grantalias) — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 06:02:25 -0700

Redoctane thank you letter

The bad news:

Fedex had a package from me but had the wrong address so I haD to pick it up at the depot. It was from Redoctane but it was not my Guitar Hero 3 replacement disc that they say I should have ALREADY received?!?

The good news:

It was the thank you gift for sending in my Guitar Hero 3 disc to be replaced, that I have not already received. It's already on my guitar waiting for the game to show up.

I've contacted Activision support, but with it being the weekend I'm obviously not expecting a speedy response. I've waited this long what's a little longer right?

I know I was less than positive about the forthcoming Aerosmith Guitar Hero, but if it was out now I'd totally pick it up to start playing again.

Now if you excuse me I'm going to play some air guitar on my fake guitar.

Off Wii Go Guitar Hero

nobody@vox.com(grantalias) — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 06:45:05 -0700

off you go

As I send my Guitar Hero 3 off in to the void I now count the days for it's return.

I hope I get one of those free faceplates that Activision is sending out to those of us who actually part with the game for a month. Yesterday I was at BestBuy and thought about picking up a second guitar but what's the point, I can't play it for at least 3 to 4 weeks.

Are You Ready to Rock? It's Bacon And Guitar Hero Night!

nobody@vox.com(Kymberlie R. McGuire) — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 19:24:53 -0700

I posted this on Yelp, but I'm adding it here too for maximum exposure.

Maybe you've heard me mention it once or twice (or a hundred) times, but I love Guitar Hero and I love me some bacon. Both things are signs of a benevolent supreme being, if you ask me.

Imagine my happiness when it turns out that Lucky's (near Minute Maid Ballpark) has not only Guitar Hero (and Rock Band, which I've been dying to check out) but also Bacon Wrapped Bacon, Italian pancetta wrapped in Canadian bacon wrapped in American hickory smoked bacon with a maple butter sauce. Sounds tasty, huh?

I've heard lots of good things about Lucky's, so let's go and eat some bacon (the rest of their menu looks good too, so I'll be trying more than just bacon) and rock out with Guitar Hero and Rock Band.

Be sure to come out and unlock your inner rockstar!

Bioshock

nobody@vox.com(Jeff D) — Wed, 19 Mar 2008 10:12:34 -0700

I just finished the game last night. Truly one of the better first person shooters that I've played. They do a great job creating the environment and immersing you in it. I still plan to go back and collect a few of the achievements I missed and I might also change some of my actions to see the alternative ending.

I hope that the sequel allows for online or co-op play, as they would definitely extend the playability of the game.

Hard Too Rock Without Music

nobody@vox.com(grantalias) — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 21:55:35 -0700

mail from Activision

It was an easy decision to put in for the Guitar Hero 3 replacement Wii disc. If any game should not be in mono it's a music game. The problem now is that I'm faced with three to fours weeks sans Guitar Hero.

If this was any other game it would be a non issue, but the casual gamer aspect of Guitar Hero really makes it a very sticky game for me.

Did any of you go in for the replacement disc? How long did you wait for your Digital Dolby surround copy to arrive?
