So I went to see Cloverfeild and it was OK. It's a total popcorn flick. The movie has been reviewed by many so I'll spare you, but I'd rate it at a 7.5. Not the best thing ever made, but not 100% crap either. You'll immediately draw a comparison between Cloverfeild and The Blair Witch Project, but the similarities start and end on the first person camera angle. One of the most interesting parts about seeing the movie was watching people walk out complaining about getting sick over the first person view/hand-cam style. I guess as a gamer I've grown immune to seeing things in first person even if the camera is shaking uncontrollably. Something thing I did catch is that the character in the movie that is "filming" what is going on is named Hud, or Heads Up Display. I thought that was a nice touch.
On to gaming. Here's the vlog as promised:

Since I got the game I've noticed that I have started picking out drumming portions of songs now. I can hear the different beats much better than ever before. I'm thinking about creating a drum tips video from all the stuff I have learned in my research and practice. Let me know if that's something you'd want to see.
I'VE GOT BLISTERS ON MY FINGERS!
Fin!
