Game Diary Day 3: D-Droogie Don't Crash Here
Hello! Is it Wednesday already? Oh my. After yesterday's Rock Band drum marathon I decided to scale back a bit and work on some blogging stuff. But at the same time I was playing...
Rock Band - Attempting to complete the guitar solo tour on hard while scanning in pages for the Wayback Wednesday post today. The difficulty seems to scale up rapidly once you get past the first few venues, but luckily I already know all of these songs pretty dang well. I downloaded a few tracks that I for whatever reason forgot to pick up (such as My Sharona and Juke Box Hero) and commenced the rocking. I really need to start mixing between up and down strums on the guitar, these hard songs are making my arm tired. I can strum up and down just fine when playing bass parts but somehow adapting that method to the guitar just plain eludes me.
Carcassonne - Picked up the kings and barons expansion and tested that out. Jinny has been a bit obsessed with the XBLA version of this game recently and I choose a "rather than beat them join them" approach. It's neat to see someone's skills get so finely honed after a short period of time, but that's how she works. One day she will surpass me in every game I own, completing the prophesy and foretelling the doom of all mankind.
Bioshock - After starting a new game last night with the intent of beating it on hard without dying, I realized how futile the attempt was and just played to enjoy. What a revelation! See? Achievements aren't the root of all evil, we can play games without striving for them all the time! Now to get that one for finding every audio diary...
