Heheh... it's just that half of our dorm floor has been trying to get that song ever since they unlocked it, and thus far they have been failing rather miserably ;D.

Everything like that is achieveable...but only with a LOT of practice... ;)

Inhuman, or inhumanly inane?

Blubberish.  Like when I was boy playing cops and robbers with sticks.  Didn't help me much, but it was fun at the time.

Yeah, but how old were you?

;)

I feel a Steven Colbert - like rant coming on, about how this is the devil's game... curves your spine, corrupts your soul, keeps the country from winning the war... (to quote an old George Carlin reference to a previous conflict).

;D  :D  ;D

Guitar Hero are awesome games, but I dont understand why people practice that much on a game.
With that much practice, why not just learn how to play the real thing ::)
I'll play at medium and have lots of fun with that. Some of the songs are actually pretty difficult on medium for me, but I still love it.

I'm still waiting for Guitar Hero 3 here and it is probably the game I'm going to play while waiting for Grand Theft Auto IV :P

I...uh, can't...I mean, don't want to, you know, get into that.   :P

Calico -  :D   :D

So did anyone see SouthPark this evening? Coincidentally about Guitar Hero, in case you missed it.

I missed it.  Watching the model show with Tyra.   :D

It'll probably be on every night till next Wednesday - you should check it out. Hilarious.

:)

And uh... let's back up a minute. The 'model show with Tyra'? If that isn't some video tutorial on Silo, I'm afraid I've lost all respect for you.

::)   ;)   :D

now now its good that he lets his feminine side out...yea thats it....

I like watching Tyra and the models.  Does this mean I have a feminine side?  LOL

I do like Silo, though I'm not sure I can build Tyra with Silo.  Or should we have a contest?

;D

Why not learn to play a real guitar? It's a lot more fun that this game.
Title: Re: An Inhuman Achievement
Post by: rcallicotte on November 09, 2007, 03:50:18 PM
Efflux, I wonder the same thing, though I bet it has something to do with something fun to do at the moment.

I play the guitar and yes it takes a long time to learn but it must have taken a while to learn how to play that game to that level. OK, learning to play an instrument would take much longer but still, the payback is much better.

People want quick fixes that's the problem. People hear me play the guitar and sometimes take it up themselves then wonder why after a few months it doesn't sound too good. Maybe in ten years they will be good.

Maybe if you start delving into the TG2 function graphs then in a few years you wll know how it works  :D

a good positive thing about learning the real instrument is that you can play anything you want on it rather than playing the only song given to you in the game...
Title: Re: An Inhuman Achievement
Post by: rcallicotte on November 10, 2007, 01:21:26 PM
Yes, delving is good.  But, a few years is too long for the function graphs.  Nevertheless, I understand the idea of diligence.

A bigger problem, since we seem to be going there, is that "it's not what you know, it's who you know" is killing creativity and a variety of talents, not to mention the discord it engenders across our planet.  That's how people get elected President and then destroy a prosperous nation or how a man who should be ready for something like the disaster in Louisiana gets exposed when he didn't know the "what you know".

Using function nodes is straightforward enough if you understand the math they encapsulate. Learning how to use function nodes doesn't take years of practice, it takes about 1~2 years of college level mathematics.

Yeah, just couple that with some Artistic Ability and you are good to go.

Don't you wish the two (Mathematics/Art) would always go together? It seem these days that more often than not math and art don't inhabit the same body. ;D

That would explain the fact that my images still suck....

I keep tellin' y'all, I'm a passable mathematician, but a lousy artist.

My problem is I don't have either!  Hummm? If I can fine a Mathematics Genius and  Great Artist, perhaps I could be the Director for a Teamwork? LOL

I would have to say that without "ALL" of the mathematicians, the artist would still be scratching pictures on cave walls so to speak. ;D So you see Harvey you are good for something. :)

This is what I find most interesting about computers - they are by far the most in-depth fusion of the arts and sciences...

Computers are like a ninja-pirate. :D

Ninja-pirates in space is more like it.
