I picked up Guitar Hero II earlier today and I'm having a blast. Almost makes me not want to hassle Duff about getting my PS2 version back. Almost. I'm about five venues in and so far, none of the new songs have really wowed me. Maybe it'll get better, I unno. My 360 crapped out on me right after finishing "Killing in the Name" by Rage Against the Machine. I wonder if it saved my score? The X-plorer controller will take some getting used to. The whammy bar is a bit closer to the strum bar and is also stiffer, so I can't seem to be able to quickly hit it with my pinky like with the SG controller. Oh, and I was actually surprised when I opened the box and saw a cord. I thought the Xbox ones were going to be wireless? Meh, would have been cool. Oh, and I was doubly surprised when I discovered that there was no online play. Just leaderboards. But reading around on the nets has revealed to me that Harmonix has been hinting at releasing a patch for online play. It wouldn't be unheard of either, Rare released a patch that enabled online co-op for Kameo: Elements of Power, and even added new achievements to that one. Since I've been on such a Guitar Hero binge, I changed my multimedia. Girlfriend was always one of my favorite songs from GH2, and it seemed especially appropriate now.
Thoughts of Lauren seem to take over at random times. Sometimes I'll be sitting alone, or I'll be in the middle of a conversation with someone when I suddenly find myself staring at an empty spot. Not staring "off in the distance" like normal daydreaming, just sort of looking at something that isn't there. I feel like I'm living with a ghost. Earlier I was laying on my back on the couch, playing Hotel Dusk on my DS when I just couldn't shake the memories.
Crap, I was trying to write an entry that didn't include her.
