On a random note, I was finally able to justify buying a set of pretend instruments (I was anticipating Rock Band, then they announced the UK instrument prices, roughly double that of the US). Got Guitar Hero World Tour and Greatest Hits, will definitely pick up Rock Band soon. Both drums and vocals are hella fun. How is the online band play, what with lag and such?

Fair warning. The GH instruments live up to their reputation for shit quality.
My drums don't work and I've had them for like... two months? And I've only ever used them twice.

That's lame. My original PS2 guitar still works fine after suffering years of abuse at the hands of me and my friends through the first two games. I think I prefer the style of the GH drums to the Rock Band ones though.

I prefer my real drums. Thanks.
I snapped a GH controller in half over my knee. =/ Bad day that was.

Why has someone always gotta say "buy a real guitar/drums!"? It's not like the world is in dire need of more amateur musicians.

Playing through it again and just fucking around with the thugs and making them as fucking terrified as possible was pretty satisfying.
When in doubt: It was sarcasm.

Yeah pretty fun when there's just one left freaking the fuck out. Then you can drop down behind them, watch them turn around and shit their pants.

I didn't say "buy" drums. I'm just saying I'd rather play real drums.
Amateur musicians eh? The one who plays a video game to be in a band?

I didn't call you an amateur musician, I said the world didn't need more. It's just that for some reason in every guitar hero/rock band thread on the internet ever, there's a guy who says "well I'd rather play a real instrument". Good for you, but right now I just want to play a silly rhythm game with friends who have other hobbies and haven't yet spent the large amount of time required to learn an actual instrument. Is that alright?

Yes. It is.
I totally didn't expect you to get so twisted. =(
I was pushing your buttons. /pun

*kicks sense of humour until it starts to make a low chugging noise* There she goes.
I think it's because I've seen the exact same post but not being a joke so many times.

Europa Universalis is kicking my ass, but I am determined to finally get into this series.

I can play that with you if you'd like. I can grab my friends copy, install it and play multiplayer. XD
What expansions do you have?

No. No it's not.

Yeah, I agree with Rose. Seriously, it's a game. Get over yourself, jackasses.

Dynasty Warriors can be annoying. I'll be fighting, and find some officers are terribly easy, some are rather difficult, and some can randomly kill me in two hits.

That's the way it's always gone, though. Lu Bu, for example, has always been hella jacked up on the Hu Lao Gate levels. Zhange Fei always turns into a beast when he stops to help Liu Bei escape. And so on and so forth.
Since those situations aren't replicated in, say, Empires, they use the army values and "look out, he's inspired the troops" mechanics to create poor substitutes.

Lu Bu is a BEAST. And he looks bad ass. And the name is bad ass.
