This is got to be my favorite episode XD.
I really can’t wait for the Mass Effect episode. And dose Lono have a PS3? Sounds to me like he has one.
Another great show guys, but I can’t help but point out something when it came to the section where you all talked about Rock Band. While I’ll agree that the controllers are far from perfect, as I’m on my forth (the first three didn’t even work at all), I can’t help but wonder if all of you don’t understand the guitar controller at all, but feel free to correct me if I’m wrong once I’m done with this comment.
Where I think you guys have a problem, at least this is how it came across, is that you think that you must use the solo frets near the base of the neck to perform solo section of the songs in the game. I got this feeling from how you talked about how hard it was to move your hand from the top frets to the lower ones in time, as well as the fact you wished that they gave some kind of warning that a solo section was coming up.
The fact of the matter is, you don’t HAVE to use the solo frets for solo sections, at all. You can just use the regular fret buttons, even though you still need to strum. Also, to help ease your pain for when you do want to use the solo frets, use your strumming hand to ‘finger tap’ them instead of moving your fret hand all the way down. Since you don’t have to strum, it doesn’t matter.
Personally, I don’t use the solo frets at all during the songs, except during a ‘big finish’ section so I can just finger tap like mad and rank up a higher score then when I strum. I hope this clears up any issues you have been having with the game when it comes to the solo frets, and if what you were talking about and what I’m pointing out are two totally different things, let me apologize in advance.
