Guitar Hero (4) World Tour (Wii)
I was very surprised when I got home on Friday to find that Rach had bought me the latest in the Guitar Hero series.
I have to admit I wasn’t planning on purchasing this until the new year but I was very excited by all the new shiny components. So on Friday evening we started on the career mode for our band JAM BADGER.
I got stuck into the drums while Rach stepped up and took on the task of singer. It was tricky to start with but we soon got the hang of it and tore our way through a good few gigs.
On Saturday Dok visited and we made some serious progress into the track listings. It is quite silly that you earn more cash from single player than group play, which meant that some solo parts had to be played before we could unlock the Tool gig.
I think one of the hardest tracks but also the most satisfying was System of a Down – B.Y.O.B.
Dok highlighted the fact there are potentially issues with the drum kits, he’s experienced this on his Xbox GH drum-kit where the green drum isn’t working at all now. He also highlighted the fact that Activision have admitted issue with the drum-kit and will be supplying drum tuning kits. The only issue with my drum-kit is that it can activate star power by accident, so not all bad just quite annoying.
But all in all I really enjoyed playing it, top stuff Rachy.
EDIT: it appears that Dok has resolved his issues with the drum-kit.
New things
Well as I promised myself a new toy after i left work.
Well it arrived today my small yet practical eee pc from ASUS,
I've had a play around with it for the last few hours and here are my thoughts.
Now this isn't going to run call of duty 4 or any heavy software, but then it isn't meant too.
The product box is very small, it was quite exciting to open, there really isn't alot inside, the PC battery and power supply.
Now one element that I have always liked about the EEE is that the power pack is small, there's no large transformer that need to be hauled arund everywhere, infact it reminds me of phone chargers from a few years back.
The keyboard is small but not that back to be honest, takes a little while to adjust to using it but after the first couple of mistakes your find it naturally is easy to use.
The screen size isn't super-wide or with vista style graphics, but it is big enough to display everything you need to interact with.
The built in wireless was quick to setup although I was slightly confused at first, things could have been a little clearer.
But in all I couldn't be happier with it and having a lightwight laptop to take with me is a better prospect that carting my other laptop about.
Well thats it for now, more to follow soon.
No iPhone thanks
Well it seems the iPhone is a big hit, after a month or so of continued hype, It came and went.
Yes it look impressive and is slick and stylish, but to me the whole item just screams accident waiting to happen.
OK so I'm not the carefulist of owners when I comes down to devices. It's safe to say that each of my phones i've purchase have encountered 'parking bruises' within the first week.
It generally tends to get worse from there.
For me to be interested in a brand new phone, it would need to be combined with a G-Shock and be heavy duty, something simple and easy to use, but that could with-stand being owned by me for a week.
