You always love having a go at me and my music but at least I intend on learning guitar instead of spending money on fucking rock band songs to pretend to play along to on a shitty plastic fisher price guitar.

Rock Band takes WAY more skill then guitar.

Explain to me how most people you see with a guitar can play at least a few songs, but put most people onto expert on Rock Band and they'll fail out straight away, unable to play anything.

Rock Band is a videogame.

Guitar is a real instrument.

Yes, there is a difference.

I'd much rather be good at guitar than good at a videogame.

I used to play guitar, bro, and I've been playing piano for about 4 years now. Rock Band is more challenging AND more fun.

I don't remember girls being attracted to guys who are good at using a flimsy plastic guitar.

DIRT 2 is freaking awesome, got nearly half the trophies and I'm on to the All Star races already. All those memories of playing Colin McRae on my PS1 came flooding back when I started playing, good times. Was tempted to get WET at the same time but I might've got shouted at for spending too much.

After having Fallout 3 platinum'd, I just realized that I'm one percent away from being on par with Hycran.

HOLLA AT SHABOI MITCH CONNA

Please don't tell me you consider that Asian kid a guitarist; he's a gamer/freak at the most. Though, it was impressive to see him do the Rubik's cube and play that GT song on expect at the same time.

Proof everyone who plays plastic guitar is vastly more intelligent than everyone who plays shitty real guitar.

I bought Battlefield 1943 today and I have to say, it's pretty good so far.

I've managed to get 3 of the trophies already and I've been using the Scout class a lot, only problem I have with the game is when it crashed.

Boner

How come you hardly post anymore :'(

I miss your sexual comments :3

Gonna pre-order Borderlands soon, looks the tits.

and Uncharted 2, the demo is so much fun, co-op ftw.

unless your playing with retarded fucking twats who shoot the enemies behind the huge boss with a minigun, and ignore the fucking ninjas who try to snap your neck.

How in the hell did tits stop being used for slang as breasts and become slang for cool? WTF?

1943 is extremely easy to get all the trophies in, just a bit time consuming due to the 100 match trophy. Also, I've never had any problems with 1943 crashing, but sometimes there are some visual glitches.

I've come to the conclusion that black people don't like the 360.

That was obvious to me from the moment I started playing CoD World at War online a couple of months ago.

100 matches will be easy, only another 95 to go.

Plus, only visual glitch I got was where I fell through the floor when I died.

There're a lot of noticeable glitches.

VERY BAD MIC SUPPORT.

Well, the ECA is really screwed up in a good way, sort of. Ever since they allowed free membership with the GIMAG code, we've been going through the batches of 10% off codes rather quickly. What's more interesting, the codes of different batches oftentimes stack. In other words, if I use one code from one batch, and another code from a different batch, Amazon doesn't recognize that the codes are from the same promotion and takes off 20% total. This has happened three times, so people that hoarded codes each batch are getting 30% off for as many games as they have codes for.

In an attempt to stop code hoarding, the ECA is only allowing one code per day, but it's ridiculously easy to get around it. They don't store the data of you getting a code on their servers, so all you have to do is clear your recent history and you can get as many codes as you want.

I have only done that for two sets of codes, so I'm getting 20% off all my games, which equates to about $45 for a game listed as $56.99 on Amazon. I'm also getting free release date shipping thanks to the Amazon prime trial.

It's really awesome for the present, but I don't see this lasting too long. The eca will either have to fix it or Amazon will take the codes away. That will be sad. I would hold off on doing it if everyone else wasn't exploiting the system at least as much.

I'll ruin the ending for you: The moral of the story will be that greed is bad and we should have been happy with just getting 10% off.

Got that

VERY BAD MIC SUPPORT.

For all games I use, hardly anybody uses a microphone, so it doesn't bother me much.

I used to get 10% off at HMV, but my student card expired about half an hour ago (RIP), so now I'm not sure where to get stuff. Amazon shit doesn't work on the UK site.

Phased it out in favour of their new "HMV Pure" rewards points system (of which I've already amassed £500 worth of points, there's just nothing good to redeem them on. £400 of points gets you a £20 voucher. Really, HMV?). I did get Banjo-Kazooie as a download on the 360 for £50 worth of points a while back, though.

Actually, for £500 of points you can get a years subscription to Playstation Official Magazine UK, Official Xbox 360 Magazine, Official Nintendo Magazine, EDGE, GamesTM, SFX, Mojo, Kerrang, DVD and Blu-ray Review, Empire, Total Film, The Word, Clash, NME or Sight and Sound.

Anyone recommend any of them?

Thanks, that means a lot, since I know most of the people on NG has forgotten this old troll. I will if you're willing to PM me your name and address.

Seriously, writing to friends and family is the only thing that keeps most recruits sane during basic training.

Well, that and keeping their eyes on the prize of earning the title of "Marine".
