News This Week with me

Well I ordered a Rock pedal From Rockpedal.com.
For those who really aren't that hardcore into the rock band 3rd party aftermarket, the rock pedal is THE kick pedal replacement for the Rock band video game drum kit. I think it's supposed to get to my place on Monday but I'm really excited for it to get here. I've been afraid to really get really started on "expert" difficulty without a more "loose" kick pedal.
One thing i have been noticing,since i don't play songs on the easy or medium skill levels anymore, is that the stock rock band kick pedal is way too "tight."
By tight i mean the amount of force it takes for your foot to push down the pedal. When you get to the harder difficulties on RB there are a lot of double and triple kicks (rapid kick pedal parts in succession) and I am light footed enough that it has become almost impossible for me to do some songs because of it. "My Curse" by Killswitch engaged being one of them. Hopefully the rock pedal will be loose enough to instill myself with some more confidence.

So anyway, enough with the rock band stuff.

News from GDC states that Sony, instead of discounting the PS3 decided to give another price cut to the PS2 down to 99 dollars.

Yeah.... This is stupid. Why would you further discount your previous console when your current one is struggling in sales and PS2's are still flying out the door? I think a major change in long term corporate strategy is in order at Sony. Hopefully there will be some better news at E3 this year.....

Starting a non startable from scratch

Well I started this blog in june of 2007. I never did once update it and now after almost 2 years of procrastination. It's time to get this stuff rolling.
It's the gaming rag!!!!

Nothing on the gaming front to post about today. For anyone who keeps up with the gaming community as a whole, im sure you are all aware that GDC is on right now.
Iwata gave the nintendo keynote yesterday, but i gave up on old ninty after my wii started collecting dust long ago.
So once the sony keynote happens ill try to recap and post my reaction to the speaking captains of the sinking ship which is the PS3.
Maybe ill comment on the microsoft keynote too if they actually have something to say that's relevant.

Later Ya'll
