Jammin on da' one..

GH3, you complete me. Actually, I completed you...all songs on Medium, that is. Spartans, Prepare for Glory! It came down to a back breaking battle between myself and Lou (the devil) playing The Devil Went Down to Georgia. Good lawd, Beelzebub has some major picking skills. Though I have completed all 42 songs on medium, I'm still just a few songs away from 5 starring all of them. In time.

As I was cracking my knuckles in preparation for the 5-star medium achievement, I get a message. Knock, Knock , Who's there...it's Mr Snank knocking on my XBox360. We partake in some friendly co-op'ing on songs like "My Name is Jonas" and "Cherub Rock"...even perfecting one of the songs and getting 933 consecutive notes. The competitor that he is, Snank quickly challenged me to a pro face off battle after our lil' warm up. We each selected 2 songs that were to be included in the battle pool of 4. Snank took a quick lead as he outscored me by 20k and 10k in the first two rounds, respectively. My hands were shaking and close to disappearing, much like Michael J. Fox in Back to the Future.

To make a long story short, my fortune took a turn for the better and I defeated the GH3 giant on Eric Johnson's "Cliffs of Dover" and Rage's "Bull’s on Parade." The game was tied...which means sudden death overtime. Pearl Jam's "Even Flow" was the song to determine the GH3 champion of the night. Ready, GO! I felt fearless, and my last two victories created so much momentum not even Anthony Mason's gleaming white teeth could stop me. (Side note: Snank's microphone was on and I could hear every noise he made while playing) Midway through the song, as we jammed hammer-on after pull-off, pull-off and hammer-on, Snank suffered to an overflow of lactic acid in his fingers which greatly affected his jamming prowess. Victory!

On the Sabbath day, God created...

Guitar Hero haters. Why? I don't know.

In lieu of all the Guitar Hero 3 excitement over the last couple of days, Mrs. Zero (my wife) informed me of some rather abhorrent information. One of her sweet co-workers, who I will name Nuk-Nuk, has a sister-in-law that is abrasive for the sake of being abrasive. She said, “Oh pa-leaase! Guitar Hero is for dem guys who, ya know, are frustrated cuz day-don’t have da skeels ta play a reaaaal guitar. Uh-huh, dats right. (while waving index finger)”

Wow, Nuk-Nuk’s sister-in-law is brilliant. I was unaware that…anyone who plays Street Fighter is an uncoordinated bastard who has unsuccessfully managed to execute a Tae Kwon Do sidekick…or that fans of Call of Duty are only for military candidates that failed their physical exams because they had three large testicals and potato shaped genitalia. Listen here N-N's S-I-Law, people participate in games and activities for entertainment and it’s what they enjoy. Don’t hate because you don’t have anything to be passionate about or enjoy doing in your spare time…or maybe your life is just all considered spare time. On a side note, I’ve been playing my 6-string acoustic for over 12 years and the ukulele on and off. Trying to beat Psychobilly Freakout for GH2 on Expert is definitely the hardest song I’ve every played, for both the real and video game worlds. Then again, that could either show how useless I am with the 6-string or how horrific I am with the 5-button.

Damn…I lost my train of thought. I’m outside right now and it started to drizzle, so I had to pack up the laptop, beer, and cigar*. Speaking of cigars, a worker at my local cigar shop suggested I use cognac instead of distilled water in my humidor…but I kind of fear that this distilled form of brandy may become detrimental to the health and wellness of my cigars and humidor. Anybody have thoughts on that? Oh well. Its 6:30pm EST and Mrs. Zero isn’t home yet, which also means it’s time to finish all songs on Medium in Guitar Hero.

Featured Cigar: Perdoma Reserve Cabinet Series. I give it 3.5 stars, but excellent bang for the buck. Light, smooth, and burns evenly.

Game on

It was love at first sight when Daniel Larusso met Ali, with an "I", at the beach then later took her on their first date to Golf N' Stuff. I encountered a similar love Saturday night, when I picked up Guitar Hero 3.

I strategically planned the viewing of SAW IV on Saturday night, so that the ending came as close to midnight as possible; the movie theater we frequent is in the same strip mall as Game Stop. Being this is my first "Video-game-pick-up-at-midnight" experience, I had no idea what to expect. As we pulled into the Game Stop parking area, I noticed the condensation build-up on the gamer dome's window. From this I knew the gamers' body temps were going through the roof due to their GH3 excitement.

The personnel in attendance was interesting and worthy of people-watching. The customer age range was from about 12 years old to about 45. However, the pimple faced teens dominated the store. It appeared that their fearless leader was some 18 year old overweight dude dressed in gothic attire with 2 tear drops penciled in next to his left eye. Weird.

Clock strikes midnight, I pick up my goods, and we're off to the races. It took my wife and I about 5 minutes to get home. Like most men, I tossed the instructions, threw in the game and started playing.

Given that I had a 10am inter-office flag football game scheduled the next morning, I knew my time with the game that night was somewhat limited. I cruised through the first 4 sets of songs on medium, and then called it a night.

Is it me or are these songs a little bit more difficult than those of GH2? Maybe just because they're new songs, or maybe not. One thing I am definitely disappointed about is that I cant view the career scores on the leader boards for my friends only...if this can actually be done, then I am too stupid to figure out how.

I woke up the following morning with only enough time to properly decorate my guitar with the supplied stickers. Come on now, you can't jam with a plain boring geetar.

Woot, there it is. More info on GH3 to come tomorrow.

How the new guitars for GH3 come apart

I wasn't planning on purchasing the new guitar plus game package, but how can you resist a wireless guitar that dismantles for storage.

Guitar Hero III here we come

It took me three days to finally try out the Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock demo my coworker gave me.

I glanced over at my sticker littered Xbox 360 guitar covered in dust. Two months have passed since I've played my ever favorite Possum Kingdom. Who knows what I'm ranked on the leader boards by now? I do know that I've lost a minimum 35% of my Guitar Hero II powers based on my feeble attempt to play a once mastered Heart Shape Box on Hard at Best Buy. A 12 year old Juan Gonzalez from Idaho probably has every one of my songs beat by 50k points. And Gr1drunner, a fierce competitor amongst my players in my friends list, has already 5 starred every damn song on Expert.

Minutes after firing up the Guitar Hero III demo, I noticed some major enhancements. However, this was just the demo version so only a few the new additions were available. I’m really looking forward to Battle Mode, where you may compete against another player and launch detrimental affects in a Super Mario Kart-esque way. But most importantly, if you haven’t seen the play list, you have to check it out on Wikipedia. I won’t comment on it just yet…you have to see it for yourself.

Since the Cubs are no longer in the running for the World Series, you can guarantee that I’ll be spending every night next week playing GH3. October 28^th just can’t get any closer.
