    Not a great score at all. Eventually got to finish it, the second guitar solo got me the whole time.
    74% Hard 3* 41,349 48NS

    Compared to this. Guess the step up will take a bit longer than expected:rolleyes:.
    98% Medium 5* 110,096 299NS

    Bodhisattva - Guitar , very tiring song and impossible for me on expert :D
    Hard 118,993 5* 90% 227ns


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 357 ✭✭RHRN


    This score may be updated, I'm looking to get another 14k before the end of the day:
    Expert, GS, 268957, 97%, 379 Streak

    Scratch that, make it final, sick of playing this song XD one time I hit the break in a real run and all of solo 1, I mess up in F (of all places!) Still hit most of 2, including all trips and trill.

    I'm tired, sick and snowed under with work, so this'll have to do. Personal best isn't much better though. Oh, by the way, I call picking next weeks one. :p
    Expert 163,492- 5* 91% 287 ns

    Might get another run up at this later tonight but in case the song changes this afternoon :
    Hard : 81409 / ****. / 83% / 109NS
    Strangely, my first attempt was 15K better than my second. Proof that the song is evil.

    The main issue I had with it was when i dropped from expert to hard, massive difference in difficulty levels, and playing on hard just felt unnatural for me in terms of timing etc. evil evil song.

    Sorry for the lateness guys. Other games took precedence I'm afraid :o

    Anyway, a bit late, but here's my Bodhisattva score:
    Bobalicious93 - Expert/ 5*/ 168,388/ 89%/ 417NS


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,126 ✭✭✭✭calex71


    Another fine job on the sig, just to add you don't need a usb mic the standard headset will do the trick just fine.

    Now to wait until the house is empty before attempting this weeks challenge :o


  • Moderators Posts: 8,678 ✭✭✭D4RK ONION


    Nah, gather all your fellow house people around and scream at them! And yes, I do like this sig :)

    Take another look at the leaderboard there D4RK (specifically 2nd and 3rd)

    tut tut ;)

    Hmmm, vocals, an excuse for me to start playing them XD


  • Moderators Posts: 8,678 ✭✭✭D4RK ONION


    I'm so tempted to edit your message into something like "I LIKEZ PONIES OLOLOLOL" but I like the cut of your jib kid, so I'll let you go :p

    I'm looking forward to seeing these scores now, no one here ever really talks about vox!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,126 ✭✭✭✭calex71


    =D4RK ONION;63024167
    no one here ever really talks about vox!

    this gives me an interesting idea for next weeks challenge ............. VOXTAR!!!!!! could be a GH:RB forum 1st ?


  • Moderators Posts: 8,678 ✭✭✭D4RK ONION


    Feel free, I wont be able to play though. For now, let's concentrate on this one :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,485 ✭✭✭✭Banjo


    Ah nuts - I tried that earlier this morning for the Unpronouncable battle (scored 6th on the hard leaderboard too - not bad considering I didn't know the air of 2 of the songs and the volume of the telly was lower than the volume of the baby's talking whack-a-toolbench thingy. This is a nasty song though, they stick with Serj's vocal all the way, even when he's harmonising and the guitarist is singing.... threw me every time


  • Moderators Posts: 8,678 ✭✭✭D4RK ONION


    Why'd you think I picked it ;) It's tough to be sure, but damn it, I have faith in ye! Well most of ye, I think Cedom may be dead, or eaten by a whale :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,485 ✭✭✭✭Banjo


    As a suggestion for a future challenge, you could make people sing Tangled Up In Blue and post a recording of them doing their best Bob Dylan nasal whine along with their scores...


  • Moderators Posts: 8,678 ✭✭✭D4RK ONION


    That is totally next week's challenge, vox-tar with nasal videos!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,126 ✭✭✭✭calex71


    Better post a score while I can, I'm dodging the dreaded RRoD here happened twice last night :mad:

    Chop Suey - Vocals
    Calex71 - Hard/ 4*/ 113,237/ 88%/ 7 phrase streak

    Couldn't get past 50% on expert :o


  • Moderators Posts: 8,678 ✭✭✭D4RK ONION


    I'm looking for an FC, I have 5G* but I know I can FC this mo-fo... Therefore score will be up friday :D Thanks for taking the time out of the day to humiliate yourself Calex, I was afraid there would be no scores on this one :p

    Ah it's a fun song to mumble sing , breaking the combo's and missing od really does hurt you a lot more on vocals i think.


  • Moderators Posts: 8,678 ✭✭✭D4RK ONION


    Oh yeah, in a serious way. Also noticed that in RB2 if you activate OD the bar depletes regardless of whether there are notes coming up of not, whereas in RB1 the bar would stop when there's no notes. Very annoying when you activate by mistake during a huge lull in words.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,552 ✭✭✭Bobalicious93


    Empty house, so here we go :D
    Bobalicious93 - Expert/5G*/261,759/99%/46 Phrase streak
    AGH!! That last bit gets me every time. I'm sure I could get an FC eventually, but I'm afraid people will be home soon :p


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,485 ✭✭✭✭Banjo


    Had to sing low so as not to wake the wife, but I got there in the end :
    Chop Suey :

    D4RK ONION WAZ ERE- Cool for Cats, voxtar plz! :D

    PS: coooooooooooool for caaaaaaats!


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,485 ✭✭✭✭Banjo


    At the risk of being the spaz who puts his head over the top of the trench to ask "Is the war ov---SPLAT!" can someone tell me what a Voxtar is?
    (I'm hoping there's some way of playing the guitar lines by humming into the mic but I'm worried we're going to be singing and playing guitar... If the former, might I suggest Boston's More Than A Feeling? if the latter, where to you put the Mic?)
