Well, the Guitar Hero tournament happened today about 6 hours ago. I gotta say it was so frieken awesome. Here's the story:

We started in one of the history teacher's rooms, where one of the sophomores who created the GH tourney told us where each event would take place (easy in one classroom, medium in another classroom, etc.) Well I went to the room along with my co-op partner, who was also in the expert tournament. EVERYONE recognized me :o...it was really creepy. Originally, they were going to do Guitar Hero II, which kind of got on my nerves because GH3 has been out for a couple months now. Since our school has its own little news station, there had to have been at least one camera for every blade of grass in my backyard.

They instantly wanted me to play Through the Fire and Flames :lol:. It was really awesome, I must say. Afterward, I must have shaken enough hands to make up for every person at Times Square on new year's eve. 'Maybe his skill will rub off on me...' was the topic of the next few conversations before the tournament started. I really don't mean to boast or anything, but that's how it went.

So the way the tournament proceeded went as follows: the tournament creator picked a song at random, then everyone would be paired up with someone randomly. Each pair would then go into Pro Face-off, and the winner stayed in the competition. The first song was Welcome to the Jungle, which I managed a 98% on. After that was Cult of Personality. I only missed 2 notes in the longest solo, which is pretty close to my record at home.

Once the next group of people were eliminated, the next person who was supposed to play me was currently playing his co-op tournament. So I played Raining Blood before he came back. Ironically, Raining Blood was the next song in the bracket (it's also the only song which my co-op partner can't pass). Even more ironically, he and I were up against each other in the bracket. Even MORE ironically, we got to pick the song of our choice because I had already played Raining Blood. We ended up playing Cliffs of Dover, with me moving on to the championship match.

The guy I was up against had beaten Through the Fire and Flames before. We had the song of our choice, so we ended up playing TtFaF. I came out victorious, with a moderate score of ~489k. Here's what I won...it isn't much, but hey, its still pretty nice:

Well that's the story. I'd do it again if i could (and if they let me next time...:D). Cheers, everyone.
