Rock Band: Green Grass and High Tides Conquered!

Hey there. I've been on a mission to get through the song Green Grass and High Tides (GGHT) on Expert difficulty in Rock Band. I've failed many times. The song is long and the solos on this song are pretty insane. Especially, solo #2. This weekend, I was able to get through 93% of the song (the game tells you how much of the song you've completed before failing) and it was heart breaking to fail that far into the song. My boy, being a Rock Band enthusiast, yelled out the unmistakable, "AAAAAHHH", when I failed. Well, last night, I finally got through it. I've gotten into the habit to play GGHT at least once, before I turn my 360 off. I've been trying to collect the games achievements for passing the game on all difficulties. It's been a bit of a chore to have to play the songs on the lower difficulties for the achievements, but eh, I want them all. lol I'm currently in the last leg of the game in HARD so I'm almost ready for the EXPERT difficulty.

Anyways, while playing the song, I failed in the same spot, at around the 93% mark, but decided to give it one more go before calling it quits. Glad I did, cause this time I nailed it! And got me 5 stars on the song too. I'm sure it's not the best score out there, but it's MY best score. Damn proud of it too. Took a pic with my camera phone to document the moment. lol

Now... I'm hoping it wasn't a fluke and I'll be able to do it again during the solo campaign mode. The below score came while playing the song during QUICKPLAY. Until then, Later!

Divorce Barbie for How Much?!?!?

One day a father gets off work and on his way home he suddenly remembers that it's his daughter's birthday. He pulls over to a toyshop and asks the salesperson, "How much for one of those Barbie in the display window?"

The salesperson answers,

"Which one do you mean, sir? We have:

Work Out Barbie for $19.95,
Shopping Barbie for $19.95,

Disco Barbie for $19.95,
Ballerina Barbie for $19.95,
Astronaut Barbie for $19.95,
Skater Barbie for $19.95,
and Divorced Barbie for $265.95"


The amazed father asks: "What?! Why is the Divorced Barbie $265.95 and the others only $19.95?"

The exasperated salesperson rolls her eyes, sighs, and answers: "Sir..., Divorced Barbie comes with Ken's Car, Ken's House, Ken's Boat, Ken's Furniture, Ken's Computer and... one of Ken's friends.

A Woman's Greatest Gift

Hey there friends. I received this in Email this morning. It's so true on so many levels. lol Enjoy.


A Woman's Greatest Gift

Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater.
If you give her sperm, she'll give you a baby.
If you give her a house, she'll give you a home.
If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal.
If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart.
She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her.

So... if you give her any crap, be ready to receive a ton of sh*t!!!

Welcome to the Wolrd of MagNext

Hey there friends. Looking for an online, kid friendly environment where battles of skills are tested daily? Then the virtual world of MagNext is for you. Sign up is quick, easy, and free. Once you've created your character, which is a sphere, then you can explore the virtual world of Magnext. Seeing the screen shots of the Magnext world, I figured that my son would enjoy a site like this, where he and his other car enthusiast friends can join and play. After I tested the waters, I was pleasantly surprised that the community works a lot like a role playing game. On the "world map" other spheres will be roaming around and on occasions, battle you for bragging rights and experience points. I was in the game no more than a minute when someone challenged me. I declined though. Being a seasoned RPG player, I'd be a fool to go into battle without leveling up and equipping some gear.

Leveling up is not a tough task, here. You can do it through battle or you can level up through many of the mini games that are scattered in the MagNext world. I tried out The Spheron Speed Challenge. A game where you are blasted from a launcher and you must guide your character through the street while picking up power ups and avoiding the obstacles. The challenge here is to get your character to travel the farthest before it runs out of juice. Considering it that it was my first time, I don't think I did so bad. Me, being a guy of stats, will want to improve my ranking. Check it out.



I'm still a rookie at this but I will be getting better. I was looking for a kid friendly environment for my son, but seems like I found a past time for me. Feel free to add me to your MagNext friends list. I'll make sure that when we do battle, I will be ready. Later!
