A photo of our TV showing the end a game of Guitar Hero, with the song being Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody.

The seventeen year-old is staying over for the weekend again, and we played another good three hours of Guitar Hero! This time we did Warriors of Rock and I'd forgotten that they'd added the ability to import a bunch of songs from the other Guitar Hero games into it, so we had quite a variety.

They were very excited to see Queen, Black Sabbath, Nirvana, Def Leppard, and Bon Jovi in the choices, and we played some Stevie Wonder and Creedence Clearwater Revival and they added those songs to their "To listen to" list. 😁

A photo of our TV showing the very start of a game of Guitar Hero, with the two scrolling tracks side-by-side. The song is Whiplash by Metallica.

Just spent the last three hours playing Guitar Hero: Metallica with the seventeen year-old. 🤘🏻 They're big into Metallica and Megadeth and all the old-school bands like that (and they're currently wearing a Rob Zombie t-shirt) so it was extra fun.

I started out on easy difficulty and was doing very well, so moved up to medium where you add in the fourth button on your fretting hand. Unfortunately I realised that all my bass guitar practice had made that very difficult because when I'm using my pinky finger together with my index finger on an actual bass, you really have to stretch out the pinky to reach the correct fret, and I kept duly doing that and ending up on the orange button instead of blue. 😛 I gave it a red hot go and then bumped it back to easy again at the end of our session, haha.

I had also entirely forgotten just how noisy the old consoles were, the Xbox Series X and its utter silence has completely spoilt me!

A photo of my Roland electronic drum kit set up in front of the TV, where Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock from the Xbox 360 is mid-song. There's PostIt notes on the drums to indicate which drum corresponds to which colour pad from the original drum set.

IT'S ALIIIIIVE!

A photo of the MadCatz Rock Band MIDI adapter controller, used for plugging my drum kit into the Xbox 360 for use with Guitar Hero.

Aww yisssss! (Now hopefully it works with Guitar Hero... I've seen anecdotal reports that it does, but nothing official from the manufacturer). Also this controller is over ten years old now and the plastic is doing that weird thing where it gets sticky, so I'll need to clean it up.

Fuck yesssss, Kristina and I are having a date night in tonight. Dinner was wings and pizza, and I brought the Xbox 360 out of storage and we're playing Guitar Hero! 🤘🏻

Unfortunately my strum bar is wonky and only registers when you're strumming up rather than down, which makes it slightly awkward to play. I'm doing it with my finger finger rather than thumb so I feel like I'm playing a bass guitar.
