No. XIV

First of all, big news. Okay so not really big news but news non the less. Big plans are in the works for a month later on. I am not exactly sure which one, I haven't decided yet. It will be soon I think. At any rate, I plan to write something new and different about games for 30 days straight. Every day will hold a new and original idea related to games one way or another. This will be no easy task as you may well imagine, but it is something that would be neat to try. Even though the blog views are nil at best, that matters little to me. It will be here and if you want to see if I can pull it off, join me for the month of _______ as we venture into the world of heavy blogging. Anyways, onto the main event, the reason for the post: Why is it that all the songs in Guitar Hero/Rock Band (though officially unanounced) are all english songs? I am sure that there are some really good rock songs from other countries. I mean you don't have to know what the person is saying to enjoy the music. It's all about playing the songs not nessecarily the music. Okay, okay, I can see how Rock Band would lose a little in that regard but what is Guitar Hero's excuse? For a small example, though I don't know where the music comes from, Dynasty Warriors. There are alot of nice deuls there and I would love to play them. Well mostly harmonies I guess but still, I would like to play atleast one Dynasty Warriors song, like Eve or Straight Ahead from 4. 4 is just the one I played the most, so I know the music better, it doesn't nessecarily mean that it has the best score. Anyways that is just one example, they don't just pop in my mind but I know that there must be others. How about that Fullmetal Alchemist theme, I guess it would be the second openning that I am thinking of, Ready Steady Go. That seems like it would be a fun song to play. Am I wrong? It just seems that you are cutting out a big part of the world when you only include a certain type of song. I am sure people who are more informed about other such music could come up with better examples. Hey Neversoft, you should be paying attention! A whole plethera of untapped potential. And that is what I have on that. Recently I have been bit by the game soundtrack bug and have been picking them up, like DW4. What else? Hmmm..... did I mention the Home Beta I got? Yea, Home has a lot of potential but thats all it is at the moment, POTENTIAL. Nothing that is capitalized at the moment. XBOX still in the lead on that arms race. Folding, how bout that one? I have been folding like crazy. There is this guy on my team with a screen name like mine and I must defeat him. I am less then a hundred away at the moment, haven't even checked today's standings but he was like number 101 or close to it. I was around 190 last I checked. I will catch this fool. My screen name has been my screen name for over a decade! I think the name deserves some respect. It has lasted the test of time, all the way back when the Zone was just getting up and running with Age of Empires. Yea, I was "rolling" with the name deathwish13 previously. I know I was juvenile back then what can I say. Then I said to myself, why be a someone? Why not just another face in the crowd? So thatguy0130 was born. Now when I beat someone they would say, wow thatguy is really good. Funny stuff! Alright alright I have wasted enough time here. Didn't mean to go into that but there you have it the birth of that guy.
