Theory includes sweep picking, which is mainly what this is. And the reverse of your point is true: all the soul in the world is useless if you don't know how to use it.

I think that there needs to be balance for the two. You could have all the soul and passion in your music that you want, but if you don't know any music theory, composition is that much harder. Likewise, If you know nothing but music theory, then it really limits the kind of music you can make. Using guitar soloing as an example, when I was younger, it used to amaze me that guitarists could solo the way they could. I thought that playing a solo was random notes, and it wasn't until I started taking guitar and learning music theory that I realized that pretty much all guitar solos following one kind of scale or another. SCALES are music theory. Even if you know just the simple blues penatonic scale, a solo will sound infinitely better then passionately playing random notes. On the other hand, knowing 20 trillion scales won't help if you don't have any feeling in the music, and it comes out as a random string of notes. Here's an example of theory without any soul. Fantastic technique, but I wouldn't want to hear it in a real song.

I just got TF2 a couple of days ago, could someone add me to the list? My Steam Username's Drayzon.

Kind of, but it's more... constrained. It has to be simple enough to be on the PSP, so it doesn't have the same kind of freedom that Oblivion has. I'd recommend looking up some videos on YouTube - you can pretty much find a video of every mission in the game. I do have to say, though, I wouldn't get it if you don't have someone to play it with. There are somewhere around 70 solo missions, i think, and then hundreds of multiplayer missions. (You can do solo runs on the multiplayer missions, but they're insanely hard solo, and nowhere near as fun.)

I played Freedom 1 and 2 like crazy on the PSP, 200+ hours each, and can't wait for this to show up on Wii. On a depressing note, however, a friend of mine who frequents the GameFAQs Boards - especially Monster Hunter - told me that there are rumors abound about this getting a Japan only release.

Well, I'm happy that Jacko's out for good (In Florida), but I can only wonder what he'll do for work now...

I agree completely. I hated Mostly Harmless anyways. Also, I've read most of Colfer's books, and I don't think he could really pull off the style and humor that a Hitchhiker's fan would expect.

RIP, Richard. There goes my only chance to see Pink Floyd live.

Sweet. Thanks for the info.

I am sad. This game is incredible, but everytime I get to Sector 4 and turn on that thing, my computer crashes on me, which SUCKS. Can anyone help?

I've got to freakin' wait till November. How I wished I had a 360...

I won't be getting a 3000, but I might get a slim, now that the price will be dropping. I wanna play me some monster hunter!

Oh so true. Maybe that's why I like the originals so much more.

When I heard a new star wars movie was coming out, I felt joy of joys. Then I heard it was all CGI. Personally, I don't want to see a star wars movie without an actual actor. Plus, the poor humor I've seen in commercials further cemented my decision no to see this movie. I liked Indy 4. It certainly wasn't my favorite movie, but I thought I got my money's worth out of it. I didn't believe that Lucas was done yet. This, however... I don't know, it just seems like a weak attempt at trying to appeal to the whole market at once - excluding the star wars nerds, or even fans. This movie doesn't even warrant a rental for me. Come on, resorting to burp jokes? Lmao. Sorry if I sound like a biased dick.

Believe me, I would If I had an arcade anywhere near me. The most fun I've ever had was playing DDR for 5 hours at the MIT arcade, two days in a row.

I'll probably get it soon, but I might get it for the PC to save the extra buck. I'm a huge HR fan though, and was the first person I know to memorize the game title.

The only copy of DDR I have is DDR superNOVA for the PS2. Oh, and DDR Hottest Party, but that is so bad I don't even think about it. Anyway, I consider myself pretty good at DDR. I can play most 6-foot songs, a bunch of 7-footers, and I think one 8-foot song, tho it's been a while since I checked. I've gotta ask though, what do you people do for playing doubles? The most I've done is using a couple of dictionaries to hold the mats in place and hoping for the best. And I'm not about to shell otu $300+ for a Cobalt Flux. Help?

Whadya know, I really don't care either! For me, the only reason I'm going to be paying attention to the Olympics is because I want to know if anything happens - the fact that this is taking place in such a controversial area has me watching the news like a hound dog. Really though, I just hate sports. I have no athletic activity whatsoever, and have no real desire for any.

You're probably right, but half of the list is more likely than not true. I know for a fact that there's at least one Linkin' Park song in GH4, which sucks.

I can only hope you're right. Even though I posted it, this list looks horrible to me, except for a few small gems.

According to GameFAQs, it came out in Japan in '05, was re-released in '06 as a special edition (also in Japan) but is still unreleased in any other region.

It's kind of weird to have this pointed out, because I saw Laputa and played Legends ages ago, and Laputa is one of my favorite movies of all time, and Legends is one of my favorite games. Looking back on it now, I see the parallels that you're drawing, and it makes a lot of sense. Very interesting.

I'm not so much suprised that this is coming as I am that I got my issue almost a month in advance... Seriously tho', this might be okay. Maybe if we're lucky, this'll make use of the the new 1:1 motion adapter.

Well, with Nintendo's E3 conference coming out today, I've got my fingers crossed they'll release a storage solution, which will hopefully solve Rock Band for Wii's problems.
