I'll be moving down to Austin soon to go to the Art Institute down there. Woo, media arts & animation!

Heh, that was my chosen BA before I ultimately decided against going to art school and joined the glory that is Long Beach State. Still in an art program, but now I have more flexibility and will probably apply for anoter major just to have two of those lovely diplomas.

Oh yeah, today I went store hopping looking for a certain toy (yes, I got back into collecting because the new MMPR toyline has me nostalging like crazy) and I ended up finding a huge arcade at the edge of town. They had so many awesome games, but the best part is they actually have an english King of Fighters XII machine with a bench for sit down action whooo~

They lacked Capcom vs SNK though, which knocks some point off their coolness scale. I'll be sure to go bakc there soon enough though.

This is NOT the place to discuss your Hello Kitty vibrator collection, my good sir.

My mom permitted me to crack open NSMBWii today, figuring it should rather distract me now than during the school week. I'm currently halfway through World 2, and the game as a whole has suppressed my doubts of its quality.

Hey Weegee, don't you have some socks to clean?

Also, just to humor you, here's what I ended up buying.

You've got the same computer as me.

Not anymore.

I was walking down one of the toy aisles when something caught my eye: a Donkey Kong monster truck. Usually, something like this wouldn't have caught my eye (I'm not fond of the gorilla) but I thought it was neat. Sadly, I had no money on me to buy it, or there would have been pictures with this post.

I did some thorough searching though, and found another, slightly bigger model. I hope both are still there in a couple of days, or if there are any other character models (Mario, Toad, etc..)

I saw the new A Christmas Carol movie.

The 3D was Disney's best yet, and it had refreshingly Christian undertones. Good times.

Had a great time at camp and my kids play is coming along better than I thought it ever would have. They are still more rowdy than any other group that I've worked with but hey, our play involves shrooms, tranny whores, and jail abuse with stunning raps. What more could we ask for?

Weegee · « **Reply #4673 on:** November 25, 2009, 09:05:02 PM »

Well, at least they probably have first-hand experience about such matters.

Pt_Peach · « **Reply #4674 on:** November 25, 2009, 09:09:48 PM »

I'm not sure how I should take that statement Weegee...

Weegee · « **Reply #4675 on:** November 25, 2009, 09:19:58 PM »

I was implying that the impoverished kids you work with probably have some experience with such crusty topics... Yeah, that was poorly worded in retrospect.

Pt_Peach · « **Reply #4676 on:** November 25, 2009, 09:23:02 PM »

Well then, yes, that's true. It definitely helps. I've had to explain some of the stuff though. Prostitution excites them. They have a bit too much fun with that scene...

I got Rock Band Special Edition during a sale while it was only 50 dollars. (Instruments Included)

Positive reactions are abundant.

The Rock Band Drums are infinitely superior to the World Tour drums. (hell, the whole GAME is infinitely better than World Tour) Unfortunately, this does not make up for my suckage at drums and poor rhythm due to playing Guitar Hero all this time.

ShadowBrain · « **Reply #4678 on:** December 04, 2009, 06:56:34 PM »

Yeah, I'm considering renting some Rock Band games. A question, though: I know plenty of people trumpet the superiority of Rock Band over Guitar Hero, but is it just the aesthetic, song selection, and instrument quality that are better, or is there something else?

Trainman · « **Reply #4679 on:** December 04, 2009, 08:16:35 PM »

I've noticed that Rock Band 2 has some type of delay in it. Like, the audio and video is in sync, but when I strum, it registers it like 0.4 seconds late, so I can't stand playing Rock Band 2 half the time. I can blast through super hard songs on GHIII on Expert all day, but put me on Expert on RB2, and it just doesn't happen. Slowing down the game in practice magnifies the strum lag issue. (Try it with Master Exploder on 50% speed and pay attention to when you strum vs. what's happening on the game)

However, on to your question Shadowbrain, Rock Band games' (especially RB2) have a slick and awesome presentation/gameplay as an added reason of why it's better than Guitar Hero. Song selection is pretty good, instrument quality is not better guitar/bass-wise. I can't stand the RB setup. I much prefer precision clickiness and relatively clicky buttons. Other than that.... hmm, dunno.

I like both of the series.
