GH3 is a lot more competitive than the other games. i'm still going to try to get as close to top 500 as i can, but i don't have really any confidence that i'll make it

that being said - this game is where the charting really starts to take a turn into the cumbersome and awkward, especially with how frequently they use 3 note chords. neversoft took this trend and amplified it significantly, while harmonix backed off it

GH80s was not nearly as difficult or competitive as the rankings for GH2 - one run through the set and then tightened up scores on half of the songs to get into the top 500. there's room to grow here, but i kinda just want to move onto GH3

it fucking happened

actually, maybe it'll happen

just grabbed a cherry coke at the store. doctors recommend reaching for cherry-flavored soda if you can, since cherries are a superfood

screen capture from the Score Hero website which tracks scores for Guitar Hero games. I'm currently ranked 641st overall for Guitar Hero 2 on Expert.

my goal was top 500 on GH2 but not sure it's going to happen. feels like i hit the ceiling without a serious grind. i'd have to make up over 373k to get there

day 1 of picking a random game from my steam library and playing it

Time to watch the NY Jets lose today

Half-Life 2's 20th anniversary update is out, episodes were merged into the main game, and added workshop support.

It is also free to keep if you get it until 18th.

i miss the mets

I noticed this on SNY starting a couple of years ago. I figured it was a way to give Gary a little extra time to make the call, didn't realize it was tech related

I thought Fury was going to be my sure-fire #1 at Carowinds and ended up enamored with Copperhead. So much great hangtime

I love me some B&M inverts and that is just my ideal invert. Usually on those you only get big OR intense, not both

Pantheon
Twisted Timbers

Honorable mentions to Copperhead Strike, Loch Ness Monster, and Bobcat

I don't want new shit. I want Windows to announce they're rolling back like the last five years of crap and also I get to throw tomatoes at their executives.
