I was playing Guitar Hero 3 with Kristin Reilly a few nights back. We were working towards the co-op Xbox 360 achievement. She kept telling me that I failed. I definitely did.... I was playing Medium and she was playing Hard difficulty. By the way, any of you see her in my video from last year's E3? Yep, she was one of the blonde girls in that video. Now you know why she may look familiar to you.

Kristin is pretty hardcore at Guitar Hero 3. She went out of her way to give me some pointers to improve my skills but also made sure I was aware that I stunk at the game. I mainly played Guitar Hero 1 on the PlayStation 2 when it first came out. Might I add that I never finished it and only got to Medium difficulty.I recently started playing GH2 on the 360 and noticed how much more difficult medium is in GH3. It was fun playing co-op but we never finished to receive the co-op achievement. I got tired of playing and it was getting late that night. I realized later that I could probably play co-op with other people online. Although, having her remarks of "you failed at life" wouldn't have been nearly as cool. Plus, hanging out with Oliver was also fun. I don't think he likes the sounds of the guitar controller though.

Anyways, I figured that I would also admit that I have also been playing Kareoke Revolution: American Idol on the Xbox 360. I've learned some tips from this guide here to help me overcome some of the achievement obstacles. I've been playing this game off and on for about 2 weeks now. I keep feeling like my neighbors are going to think I'm silly because I am singing my heart out to some cheesy songs. My voice keeps getting tired as well. I think it's a good karaoke party game to play with friends. I need to get another microphone to unlock some of the co-op achievements. However, paying 150 MS points to download other songs isn't so nice. I think I spent about 30 bux yesterday downloading about 15 of my favorite songs.

To be honest, I am being humble by admitting this! It is very hard to admit that I am playing a game and that I've unlocked most achievements on this than any other. Ya know? I mean, I have watched some American Idol episodes over the years but I'm not a fanatic of any sort. I am a fan of singing even if some people would call that silly. The only American Idol season I watched from start to finish was the one where Kelly Clarkson won. I would fail at any trivia questions if asked about all of the American Idol seasons.

Other than that, I have my finals at school this week. Have two papers due by tonight and I'm here writing a blog. Bad, me. *goes back to writing papers*
