    Oh mercy me I'm so witty. A place to post random ramblings!

    So two questions.
    1. Do the three moderators of this board ever stop by? I think I've seen Kinetic once or twice, that's about it though!

    2. ShawnRaven, what happened to the other #1031 muppetkillers?

    1. I've barely seen Zapp Brannigan here since the forum was open. That said, this forum pretty much moderates itself anyway, and the mods have busier forums to worry about.

    2. I killed em. They were complete muppets too, apparently. :D

    Won't be available for another couple of months dude, in the middle of exams (hence my quietness on boards in general), then when that's done i have some planning for lessons ahead (going for my T-Dip), so unfortunately for me i'm out for the near future.

    That and the fact that my controller is once again, shot. :(

    Nah, that's H(igher)-Dip. T-Dip is for primary or after hours teaching, or in a training centre.

    I needed the time off with the missus, college sapped up a lot of my time over the course of the last few months, so time away was needed to spend some quality time with herself.

    Was at a stags do on saturday and i've gotten somewhat addicted to playing poker since.
    Note to self - leave the bank balance the f*ck alone. :D

    Good news: I 4-starred visions on drums.
    Bad news: My pedal snapped halfway through.
    Good news: Now I can take the magnet+sensor out and attach it to my real bass pedal :D

    I came close in don't fear the reaper that was about it. It didn't help that I was dropping notes left right and centre and my pedal is literally on it's last legs... I need a new kit. Well done either way :D

    It's got Bodhisattva on it, how can you go wrong?

    Reminded me I picked this up for a 10er last week. Rock band song pack 2

    Has 20 songs you can play as a stand alone game and comes with a code to import the 20 songs. 50c a song is a hell of a deal.

    Worth it for "You got another thing coming" alone :D

    From what I can remember, I have all the songs on that I'd actually want already. How does it work, does it play stand alone?

    Yes it plays as a stand alone game and comes with a code you use to download the songs for import to RB 1+2

    Worth it for a 10er
    "Afterlife" -- Avenged Sevenfold
    "Call Me" -- Blondie
    "El Scorcho" -- Weezer
    "Girl U Want" -- Devo
    "Girls Who Play Guitars" -- Maximo Park
    "Indestructible" -- Disturbed
    "It Hurts" -- Angels & Airwaves
    "Just What I Needed" -- The Cars
    "Message in a Bottle" -- The Police
    "Monkey Gone to Heaven" -- Pixies
    "Rio" -- Duran Duran
    "Saints of Los Angeles" -- Motley Crue
    "Simple Man" -- Lynyrd Skynyrd
    "Snow (Hey Oh)" -- Red Hot Chili Peppers
    "The Perfect Drug" -- Nine Inch Nails
    "This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race" -- Fall Out Boy
    "Time Is Running Out" -- Papa Roach
    "Why Do You Love Me" -- Garbage
    "You've Got Another Thing Comin'" -- Judas Priest
    "Zero" -- Smashing Pumpkins

    Pretty decent selection, Judas Priest and Maximo Park songs are my favourites , the Papa Roach and Cars songs are hella fun to play too.

    Made me a new sig to promote the forum. If for some off reason you to want to wear a GH&RB sig with pride, here's the code-age. I'll make a smaller one soon if you have other stuff to put in your sig and don't want to dedicate all that space for this place ;)

    This probably wont make sense, but I had that problem even on my TV, and its not HD. Rock Band 1 was perfect, but I could never get the calibration settings on RB2 right. Even now they're not great.

    Is the guitar wireless? That can often be a problem.
