It was a little hard to hear because it was in a crowded barcade with loud music playing (Playhouse in Rochester NY) but I did okay. The HO/PO mechanics felt really weird though

it's GH3 engine, so you can tap the hopo at any point before they note and they'll trigger, there's no timing window

Yeah GH3's hopo engine is amusing. You can do large parts of Cult of Personality by just kind of mashing on the buttons. Which is one of the two things I do whenever I come across GH arcade.

The other is play Cliffs of Dover.

edit: the correct way to play guitar hero arcade is to put one credit in, play cliffs of dover and beat Alakaiser's score, and then stop playing

It was literal years ago so I'm probably misremembering. But yeah I just played one or two songs because I couldn't hear the music. Mechanically pushing buttons without hearing the actual music is no fun.

It is the very first song I think of when somebody says "one-hit wonder". But it's funny because about a year ago I heard this song and it's not bad at all! I just never looked into them further than that one song.

finally got to play again after ~3 weeks of being drumless due to my kick pedal chain breaking and me being lazy

ordered a real double bass pedal and a wider kick drum pad and drat, what a difference between this and trying to fake it with the hi-hat pedal. definitely worth it for those of you that play a bunch of metal and are using the hi-hat pedal with the nitro

I'm actually thinking about upgrading to a real bass pedal instead of the hi-hat thing that came with my Ion Drum Rocker. Any good recommendations for a drummer that took a 20-year break after high school?

Has anyone else noticed that if you start an online session and flag it "wants to play Challenge songs", you lose the ability to filter for Challenge songs, and the song list doesn't show the R icons? Argh. I'm sure everyone is like "why the hell did they pick that?"

We're really enjoying singing online, but the general vocals bugginess is a drag. During Black Hole Sun last night, the game stole two overdrives, granted me overdrive but broke my combo, and on the next overdrive phase, granted the OD and then took some away -- and then it took four clicks of the touchpad to actually trigger. Yeesh!

Huh. I didn't have much hope for the drums on Is She (and the verses are pretty light), but there are some fun fills and good variation. Cumbersome is actually the more chill drum chart.

That tune is probably Jackson's best-known, but instrumentally, I'm surprised they didn't go for something else on that record, Got the Time, One More Time, Instant Mash...there's a lot of rhythmic play there.

How's the quality on that compared to the default pedal? I may be looking for a cheap upgrade that isn't the full step to a pedal :v:
