Drummer Hero?

The new Guitar Hero World Tour came out. They re-stole their idea back and added a drum set and microphone. The microphone is allbut useless to me and my friends (although the 5 year old loves to scream "Beat It" from MJ). The only reason I got GH instead of RockBand2, is because they added the drums to GH. After reading lots of previews (especially the youtube link below), I made the pre-order.

This is the first Guitar Hero or RockBand game that I own, and until Metallica comes out in 09, it'll probably be the last one I pay for. Not because it sucks, but because there are already 4 other games out there that have hundreds of songs on them, and all I have to do is borrow them from friends.

The drum set is tough to catch on to. First of all, because I can carry a beat in the car dashboard, but not on a drum set. Add in the footpedal and my arms are like 2 fighting octopi.

I'll put an average of an hour a day on the game to clear my mind of daily stress. The rules are up though, no playing it while I can be spending time with the woman. (Except for the first night, of course, but that's a given... if it wasn't... someone text her and apologize for the male of the species)

Speaking of... she's asleep. I should be playing.

Why I love HockeyTowns...

Only if I had the originality, or the balls... I'd do this at a Phantoms Game.

running Lava

"When you run fucking lava, how do you keep your cool?"

Running hot is the greatest feeling... you can do no wrong. Suited connectors flop nut straights, position playing ATC and flopping trips, and simply, having KK hold up against ... hell... anything.

But when you run fucking lava, you are running so hot it burns. AA cracked 3 times by pp's when the money is in PostFlop. 3 outted by hands that should normally triple you up. You, and your opponent have no choice... the money is going in, you are ahead.. DOMINATING... and you can't win to save your life. I'm not talking about losing races, or every now and then you get plucked by a thin draw... but over and over and over and over 90/10 or better, and you can't hold up.

When you run lava... how do you stay cool? There's only so many times I can chalk it up to variance, unluck, or "that's poker".
