That's exactly how I'm feeling right now.

Then I try to go into practice -- do great when I slow down the song a little -- but soon as I go full speed squeak squack squeak!

I added everyone. I am going to try the towel trick and get cracking on some higher scores tonight. Maybe go ahead and 5 star everything if I'm lucky.

What system should I buy the game for????

- I currently own all 3, PS3, 360 and a Wii
- I do NOT own any previous versions of GH, nor do I have any guitars
- Not too interested in on-line play. I've got a 10 year old who'll play too, if he picks it up, I'll most likely get a second guitar for co-op.
Xbox 360:
- online community, unified friends list, chat, achievements, DLC, HD, DD
- you can pick up and play GHII which you cannot do on the Wii or PS3
- you can pick up an extra guitar on the 360. You cannot (right now) on the Wii or PS3 without buying two copies of the $100 set.

So if I were you I'd get the 360 version and pick up GHII with the guitar on sale. That way you have both games and two guitars.

Its for my red ringed 360. Wrap the 360 in towels and turn it on to "bake" it for about 30 minutes. Its a temporary fix to help you get a few more weeks out of the system.

I'd like to know who the heck came up with such a solution to the RRoD .

I managed to get my accounts linked, but didn't know it'd show my username on the GH site as my account instead of my gamertag . It also still isn't updating my career scores . In any case, I've submitted the request to join the DVDTalk tour group.

Their website is completely hosed. The stats they show for me only bear a passing resemblance to what I've actually done.

Best of luck in your endeavors, sir. I had what I thought was a phenomenal run at Raining Blood with a score of 222k and still wasn't good enough for 5*. I read somewhere that they got 5* with a 229.7k score, sheesh...

I have more of a problem with that slipkn0t song...mainly because I never want to hear it again. Once was more than enough.

It's pretty jacked up, but it's the same as what the WFC shows for me as well. Interestingly enough, individual song scores get updated (you can see the individual song high scores for our tour group), but career score, online wins etc haven't been updated since Monday or Tuesday last week. I'm not sure if it's just a Wii thing, or if none of the systems is updating properly.

I am. As I said before, I didn't know it would use the username instead of the gamertag (Oz Rosenberg) for display .

Even the songs aren't working correctly on the site, at least for me. For instance, I have 313k on "Anarchy in the UK" on expert, but it shows I only have like 161k on medium on the GH site . It's like that for most of the songs I checked after joining the DVDTalk group.

Doesn't even show that! I played Cliffs of Dover this morning and my 217k score was up minutes later. Definitely a buggy site.

I wanted to link my account to my game, but I don't seem to have a VIP passcode in my game...?

Who all playing on the Wii? I'd like to get in some matches against DVDTalkers, preferably co-op, and preferably at Easy or Medium because I kinda suck.

My GH3 friend code is 210568460806

well, add me and play me or whatever. I just had my whammy bar break on my gibson, so it should be easy. This is the third whammy I have gone through. 2 xplorers and the gibson. Both of my SG's have 20x more play time on them and still work perfect. I'm not hard on them. I didnt even push it all of the way down and it just stuck. I am beyond fucking pissed with everything right now. I really should have learned my lesson the last 2 times.

I'm off for the night. I will log in tomorrow night so you can beat me for the achievement. The only thing I ask is for you to let others do the same thing. I swear I got it from doing coop with someone though, so we will try that first.

Oh, that makes sense. I wondered whom I was chasing in the individual song ranks.
