Oh man I suck at AC For Answer

Did the first couple of missions ok, but the problem is that I'm taking a lot of fire from the enemies (and consequently spending most of the mission reward on repairs ).

Also, had to take down some Arms Fort (Giga Base, I think), and I got shot down before I even got to it (Giga Base's cannon).

Is it normal to be finding the controls a pain? I resorted to using Simple controls, but it still seems like a lot of commands (resulting in such hilarity like firing a shoulder weapon instead of boosting). Tutorial was well...useless, so I'm hoping I pick it up soon

Apparently my timing is awesome; looked around online and one of the stores I use had 60% off on certain games titles. AC For Answer was one of them Should have it in a couple of days!

So, I know it's been out for a while now, but I was pretty broke when it released here. Finally have a bit of money again, and was considering getting AC For Answer. I know you play/played it, so I was just wondering what it's like for someone who's nevered played an Armored Core game (well, I lie, I played multiplayer in AC2 round a friend's house years ago).

Might get it, I love mecha

I think I broke my XBox mic again. :/
The other day when I got on and you where playing Call of Duty 4 I had it plugged in but it wasn't working. This will be like my 5th mic since I first bought my Exkbawks.

*Flushes a toilet*

Quit thinking about chicken, mah <censored>.

'It allows me to play around 4 million notes a second, but I don't play that fast because people die. I keep it low; about 2000'

Yeah, it's kinda the same for me (although not 2-4 drives, thank god). Generally bands will play in either Sheffield, Manchester or Newcastle. While Newcastle is only about an hour or so away, I can't stand it there

But yeah, I'll be content just seeing Petrucci and Portnoy put out various levels of awesome I'd probably go into spasms if they played Octavarium live, but I think if they do play an 'epic', it'll be either In the Presence of Enemies, The Ministry of Lost Souls (both from Systematic Chaos) or something from the forthcoming album.

Chances of seeing Constant Motion live is pretty good though

Well, looks like I might be going to see Dream Theater live in June! They're playing a European tour, and come fairly close to me. One of the guys I played PSO/PSU with is from the place they're playing and is also getting a ticket, so I'll be meeting up with him (again).

In the Presence of Enemies live, PLEASE What's cool is that the gig is about 2 weeks before the new album 'Black Clouds and Silver Linings' is released; so here's hoping for a sneak-peek at some new stuff

I generally don't go to gigs but when one of my favourite bands is almost within earshot of my town, I can't miss it

808s and Heartbreaks is indeed purchase-worthy.

And if you're still doing the graveyard thing then I'll hook up with you tomorrow morning. I was actually at the last boss solo, but he pissed me off and I really didn't feel like redoing the entire last stage again D:

Kylie: something for everyone.

...I can't pass Warriors of Time

I've tried and tried and tried, but it's ridiculous (and I've passed Constant Motion before). The last solo is just fingerbreaking XD

Edit: 8 more attempts and I finally beat it. Best guitar chart in ages. Waking the Demon is awesome too, but the Black Tide song is so much better

While "Blame It" is indeed very catchy, the rest of Jamie Foxx's album is pure ass. Save your eardrums and don't bother tracking it down.

Oh wow, I love the Scream Aim Fire album, so as soon as I saw Waking The Demon announced, I let out a hearty 'HELL YEAH' (well, not 'Hell', but PG13 site and all). Should be hard as nails on Guitar/Drums at least.

And wow, I'd never heard the Black Tide song (I have Shockwave already, which is awesome on Guitar), but holy hell. 3 solos, and it sounds possibly harder than Waking The Demon

(I'll be getting both- I'm always up for more metal songs/new challenges )

Yeah, I don't use a RB guitar (I use a GH3 Les Paul). I actually prefer the GH2 Explorer, but I can't find one in the UK on its own (since I have GH2 for PS2 already, I refuse to buy the boxed set). Obviously, the timing window for Hammer-ons and Pull-offs is tighter on RB (more like GH2 than GH3), so you're probably just not as used to the engine. I don't know if you've tried, but turning on Breakneck Speed in the Extras menu of RB2 (it's not on RB1) helps me a lot- I always use it. Some people play worse with it, but it might be worth a shot if you haven't tried yet.

And yeah, the profile pic is Kan'u Unchou from Ikkitousen. I couldn't really show much more of the image without getting banned, so a face pic will have to do /shameless pervert

...Still only one pass on Constant Motion then (without failing the solo).

It's pretty much the only song I fail on a regular basis now (Afterlife seems somewhat easier now )

Hey, why don't you shut your mouth before I shut it for you!? </accent>

Besides, Aaron's is superior to both of us.

Xbox is fine, my reading-challenged homie. The LB button is broken on my second controller, which caused rage since it's practically new. I'll pick up a replacement later this week, after moving day.

Yeah, the line about her being 'good in bed' made it click for me. It's gross, but it made me laugh the first time I heard it. Funny song, really.

lol I wouldn't make them if they weren't meant to be used by other people, knock yourself out
