Hoot Loot

Here is a recent game I did for my side gig, called "Hoot Loot."



I've got another one that I have to have done by Wednesday of this week, so I'll post that sucker too.

The Guitar Hero Kid

Yes I know I said I wouldn't post another Guitar Hero blog thing for a while, but someone at work knew I was addicted and sent me this:



To put this into perspective, the kid is playing on Expert, using all 5 buttons on the guitar, and turns his back for parts of the song, yet still manages a 5 star rating.

In comparison, I play on Medium, using only 4 buttons, face the screen the entire time, and have only managed 4 stars. This after playing the game for almost a week straight.

On one hand, I have to give props (that's what the kids say these days right?) to the little bugger, but on the other hand I have to wonder what kind of parent lets their kid spend this much time on a game.

Guitar Zero

I promise this will be my last "Guitar Hero 2" post for a while.



One thing that a tiny plastic guitar doesn't do like a real guitar is hide the 20 extra pounds I'm carrying around with me.

I said 20.

Okay... maybe 30.

Guitar Hero II

I just picked this up today for my Xbox 360.



I'm not positive on this, but I think it may consume my life in the way that "World of Warcraft" has consumed countless lives. If you haven't heard from me in a week or so, would you please have the authorities come to my house and rip the guitar controller from my cold, lifeless grip? Tell them the smile is okay (though a little creepy) and that they can play a couple of rounds before carting me away.

Thank you!

UPDATE: Sweet jumpin' pajama pants, I had no idea what I was getting into! This game is like crack put on a disc and then stuffed directly into my very brain via my handy Xbox360 (and about the sweetest plastic guitar this side of the tracks).

A few stats:
My band's name is "Riptorn."
I'm playing on medium.
My chosen character is Lars Umlaut.
I'm playing a Gibson Les Paul (the guitar I play in real life), with the Zakk Wylde finish.
I almost wet my pants when I was asked to play my first encore and it was Motley Crue's "Shot at the Devil."
I'm a massive nerd.

Have you played it on the 360 or PS2? If so, let me know what you think/thought, and feel free to share your setup like mine above.
