tidbits and news

so i guess i jumped the gun a little saying that activision had sorted out that whole eensy weensy guitar hero iii for wii problem. you know...the one where they didn't get stereo sound? you don't remember that because guitar hero iii came out a while ago?

well, i had said that it was cleared up, and in reality, only now have they said that replacement disks are being shipped out...in february.

so don't get too excited guitar-wiiers, you will have to deal with mono sound and unfun guitar face-offs for another little while.

bad santa


i also procured two of the things that were on my most wanted list from well before christmas. santa may have come late for me (between december 26th to january 19th) but he sure came up big!

- a 30" hdtv - as described below
- a halo 3 version xbox 360 - complete with 0 copies of the game included!
- and a copy of... wait for it.... ROCK BAND!

i was cruising my 'near-work' eb and saw some boxes around of the ps3 version so i casually asked 'got any rock band special editions for the 360?' and was told that my lucky ship had arrived.

so yes, i'm now in the midst of trying to sync another rhythm game to my hdtv, having just kind of figured ghiii out a week ago.

but in the fun-factor rating system, it measures a whopping 11.5 our of a possible 10 fun-ness points.

jen and i have been rocking out to many hits, and like all other reviewers, i found the single player experience a dish best served in one bite, quickly. it's not very deep is what i'm saying.

playing in a 'band' however, is sweet. we've even taken turns singing-to moderate success-and still had fun. need to get over a proper group to do it up right though...

rocking the free and domesticated worlds,

JD
