    Okay, so today was my first foray into the online features of Guitar Hero: Metallica (GH:M for short). Now, I start off with some Pro Face-Off, since I'd like to play against some other expert players. So I get things set up, and get looking for a match. I get paired with another expert player, which is good. Same thing happens next round. The third time, however, was not the charm. I got paired up with a friggin' medium player, which SUCKS. You see, back when GH: Aerosmith was released, Neversoft added in a new feature that allowed players of different difficulties to play the mode together, unlike the original version, where you had to be on the same difficulty. Though, they made sure the online play had filters that allowed players to only search for same-difficulty matches. Then, World Tour was released, and we got a brand new online system, that did away with filters. No, now, if you wanted to play PFO with other players at the same difficulty, you had to keep searching, and hoping that you'd get into a match of your liking. On top of that, you couldn't pick a match from a list anymore. Now you are forced into a quick-match style matchmaking service, and you're automatically put into a match.
     
    But that's not the worst part. To accommodate for the lower scores on lower difficulties, Neversoft added a system that modified the points earned by the lower difficulty player, making them worth more so both players would be even. I hate this. This system gives players on easier difficulties an advantage. They have less notes, and it's easier, so they could get, say, 97% on a song on easy and beat a player on expert who got 96%. It's unfair to people with harder charts.
     
    Here's how they should fix it:
     
    Suggestion #1: Make two different modes.
     
    What they should do is have two different version of PFO. One would be called something like "Party Pro Face-Off", which allows difficulty freedom. The other could be called something like "Hardcore Pro Face-Off", which forces player to be on the same difficulty.
     
    Suggestion #2: Give the upper hand to players on tougher difficulty settings.
     
    Basically, have it so that players on the higher difficulty will win if they have an exact same performance percent-wise.

    Do you like Guitar Hero? Do you even remotely like Metallica?
     
    If so, get this game. It's the 2nd best Guitar Hero/Rock Band game yet, behind Rock Band 2. Every single song is great (Even Frantic, you St. Anger haters), and, while the list is pretty small compared to World Tour, it still surpasses it. The animations are great (The band's models are spectacular). Everything is great.
     
    Also, what's wrong with Neversoft? They plan to release 19 freaking Guitar Hero games by the end of '09. Milking the franchise much?

    My friend's letting me borrow it, so I thought I'd share my thoughts on it. First off, why does it feel like I'm playing a WWII Moderator for Call of Duty 4? Is Treyarch so lazy that they couldn't even change the HUD? It looks way too modern for a game set in the 1940's. Online play is almost exactly the same too. Which is good, because it's still great fun. Co-op is a nice addition as well, and Nazi Zombies rounds off the package. If you've got Call of Duty 4 and have played the maps to death, pick it up. If not, just rent it. If you've got it and want to play it with me, send me a message on Xbox Live. My Gamertag is to the right of this post.
     
    Next thing I'd like to mention is a new PSP game I've picked up. It's called LocoRoco 2, and it's great fun. Plus it's only $20, so I highly suggest a purchase. Not gonna go into anymore detail, though.
     
    Also, Quiznos makes awesome subs. Way better than Subway.

    Woah.
     
    Woooah.
     
    There's a picture in our school's health textbooks, with some guy. Now, this is no ordinary guy. Why? Because he's being chased. BY A BEAR. A HUMONGOUS BROWN BEAR. And this is in the chapter about stress.
     
    It's amazing.

    Starcraft

    By pls respond,

    God, I should have bought it way earlier. Like, it's actually managed to pry me away from Fallout 3. It's that good. Plus, at twenty bucks, it's pretty much a steal.

    Wikipedia Game

    By pls respond,

    Okay, this is a simple little game I've found on other forums. Imagine that you are recording an album. Now, go to Wikipedia. on the main page, click Random Page. The name of the page you are linked to is your album title. Click Random Page again. This is your band name. Click Random Page ten more times. Each of these pages are your songs. Then, post everything here. It's simple, and occasionally you'll get some hilarious combos.
