I don't get pissed off that easily... and usually it's not even that much. I can put up with a lot of shit. I get irritated a lot, but that's different. But only a handful of things really piss me off.
Shit breaking pisses me off, or shit not working also. Flakey people piss me off a lot. Shit that's out of my control no matter how badly I want it.
And the worst of them all, unbeatable games. Specifically, at the moment, Guitar Hero 3.
Yes, the game that I've been so incredibly wrapped up in the past few days, and been anxiously awaiting for a few months now.
Why? Well, let me tell you. Go pick up the game, of course all the songs have to be unlocked first... Play these games: "Raining Blood" by Slayer, "Cliffs of Dover" by Eric Johnson, and "One" by Metallica. Three of the four songs in the last set of songs in the game (I've already beat "Number Of The Beast" by Iron Maiden... that was relatively easy with the exception of one stupid solo, which star power gets you through).
I'm failing "Raining Blood" at around 35%. The first 30% is incredibly boring, and of that the first 20% is probably less than 10 notes. It makes restarting after failing fucking lame.
"Cliffs of Dover", well, let's just say that Eric Johnson is a guitar god. Let's also say that my dad went to school with him in Fremont. Either elementary or high school, I think it was high school. I don't remember. But that's not the point! The point is, despite my dad personally knowing the guy, it gives me absolutely no advantage in the damn song whatsoever. I'm failing between 10-13%, all because of a less than 10 second section in the song. Goddamnit. And the horrible part is, the song is amazing, and the rest of the notechart is seriously a very fun challenge! Godfuckingdamnit.
"One"... Yeah... You all know it... You all know how the solo is like, the last 25% of the song... well, I'm failing at around 77%. That's with a full load of star power being used at the beginning of the solo. Yes. I can make it roughly 2-3% further through the solo because of it. It's so goddamned irritating that I have to spend three fucking minutes nailing shit that I can without question nail, and then wait to fail.
Neversoft, here's a note from me to you:
FUCK YOU, NEVERSOFT!! I mean... Challenging is challenging... but these three songs... erm... seriously, what.. the... fuck...
So... If I'm really pissed off for no apparent reason, it's probably because I just got my ass handed to me in less than 5 seconds after playing for three minutes just to get the chance to fail.
Yeah. Fuck that shit. Rock Band needs to come out fucking NOW.
