Amazed at peoples talents II.

Now this is some talent. The believe it or not are cup cake with all different games on them, from chess, monopoly, Mario, Simon Says etc. Take a look and see if you can name them all.

Or if you have a competitive edge then click on the link and see if you can name then with 10:00 (without searching on the internet) minutes taking on the challenge on

www.sporcle.com

Conclusion to this these cup cakes are amazing but is this just evidence that someone has way to much time on their hands, very creative or both.

I would also like to see a Guitar Hero cup cake.

Christmas Presie Review

Christmas was good but the best thing was what I lovingly got an Xbox 360 Elite as my main present but surprisingly getting Band Hero Bundle as well from my brother, WOW. Although as always, since my oldest brother was 5 and now for about 24 years, Christmas tradition continues as one thing has to brake every year and this time it was the drums in the Band Hero Bundle. Getting it fixed the next day, it was time to rock, for 10 minutes on Band Hero.

The reason I wanted Band Hero is because of the drums, not because I wanted Band Hero and as I got the Bundle I now have two of the new Guitars and a World Tour Guitar. I thought that the game wouldn't be to bad but I was very wrong. On all of the other Guitar Hero's you really get into a lot of songs and if you are lucky you will now a few. With Band Hero the songs you know are the only songs you would play because all the ther songs are lame, boring and are just not worth playing, But then they have quite a few songs you will know. So now I will be playing Guitar Hero World Tour and Guitar Hero 5 with the drums and possibly getting Guitar Hero Smash Hits.

The Coner Rating is:

Band Hero Game: 6/10

Guitar Hero Drums: 9/10 Apart from that I can't keep the beat with the base drum.

Up Up to a Retreat

Recently I have seen a couple of films and if you can't guess by the title, I saw 'Couples Retreat' and also Disney Pixars 'Up'. Now these two films are obviously and completely different and have no similarities.

Disney Pixar's Up

The film Up was amazing, although it is still puzzling me that Pixar and Disney announced that they were stopping making films together after Wall.E but this must have not happened which I am really glad at as 'Up' I think is a possible contender to Toy Story. The very creative thinking about the whole of the movie, a POINT............ House being lifted up by thousands of balloons could never happen, but I guess anything can happen in movies. Now I am going to admit it but I did shed a tear at the beginning which was very good and very technical by Pixar to engage the audience to watch the film right from the start of the film and at the end (Secret). The characters in it were amazing, they SQUIRREL.................. made the move even better. Russell (The Scout), Mr Fredrickson (The old man), Dug (the dog) and Kevin (The Bird). And in the film very creepy the character Mr Fredrickson when the was younger looked like my friend (I now have a real good picture of what he will look like when he is older) and Russell My other friend. A real well deserved rating for it's mixed of comedy, adventure, sadness with very very funny moments throughout the film all tied up to make it brilliant, POINT.......................... Not telling you any more so I don't give anything away.

A Coner Rating of 10/10

Go an see as soon as possible

Couple Retreat

Now even though I did just say about 'Up' that is was really funny film,That was a really funny ANIMATION film, this is the most funniest film I have ever seen. With a great cast of Jon Favreau, Vince Vaughn, Faizon Love and Kirsten Bell made it brilliantly funny. This movies see four couples go on a vacation and doesn't turn out how they were told that it was. The featured things in the film like Guitar Hero as Vince Vaughn or Dave in the film is a games designer and created the game Guitar Hero. Now the film shows what any person acts like when they are playing Guitar Hero alone in a room (and if you see the film and don't agree with what I have just said then comment but I know that you are in total denial). And also stereotypical groups of couples and certain people come across how you imagine them. These things plus many many more were created really well.

The very funny and hilarious film is pain killing from the laughter.

A Coner Rating of 9/10 (only because some of the jokes I didn't really get)

I say go on a day which you feel quite down as this will really cheer you up.

Guitar Hero World Tour. Wait, thats not new.

Me and the blogger Junkie Emerald Coast (Emyr) went into town on the release date of 11th of September for Guitar Hero 5. I was really undecided whether to get it but as he phoned me I thought, why not. So it all went well, I brought the Xbox GH5 and he brought the PS3 GH5 and I went back to his house and we played it there. After about half an hour. I really wanted to look at it. Opening it, I had a huge shock when I see that buying the Guitar Bundle for GH5 that they only sold me the old guitar from Guitar Hero World Tour.

The following day, I had went back into town to get the new one. I will give you one guess to where I brought GH5 and the idiots behind the desk would sell you a old Guitar,

GAME. I know even though I buy a lot of my games from GAME, they can be really Crap sometimes. That's only the start of the whole story.

Returning the game, it didn't go very well. My mum insisted that she came into GAME with me because they wouldn't listen to a kid. Going into GAME I said they that sold me the old Guitarfor Guitar Hero World Tour. They asked for the receipt which I had and they went back to trade it. Coming back with the same Guitar which I took in and they said that they don't have any of the new Guitars for the Xbox. The whole reason I brought the game with the Guitar is because I wanted the new guitar in GH5 which they didn't give me.

Explaining that I went into town the previous day to buy it with Emyr and he brought his on the PS3 , the only excuse they gave was that they haven't sold the new Guitars with the Xbox which I new was a total lie as I seen EXCLUSIVE Xbox videos with people playing the new guitar. After almost shouting to the top of my voice with my mum also the same, another person who works there came up and asked what was the problem I told him and he said that he could give me the game only for GH5 and give me the rest of the money back which would result in me not having the new guitar which I did want so I kept on arguing about it and finally he the guy who came over half way through (the nicer one) said that they would check the other GAME store and check the stock room again if they have any more.

And Surprise, Surprise they came back with the new one which in 2 minutes. What I think is that the first guy didn't even look for it. Anyway, my ranting a raving is over and I can now give my review on the game.

Guitar Hero 5 gives the gamer a whole lot of new choices. To play with any amount of instruments at one time, even for drums if you have them. Also if you have an Xbox like me or a Nintendo Wii, you can use your Mii which isn't the best with GH5 as the Mii's are rubbish qualityanyway, don't work as good as the Xbox Avatars, and really they are amazing. things available to all console users are that all the songs in the game are all ready unlocked and ready and there to play straight away if you are not a real person who likes the Career Which could be better than what it is.

In the Career you have the basic thing, go through it playing all the songs in the Career while unlocking venues. although another addition to the Career they have put in is challenges to complete while playing the songs. Challenges like, get the highest note streak as you can, hit as many chords as you can etc, and and you get Gold, Platinum or Cristal Disc's depending on who well you do. This isn't the best as if you don't have all the band instruments, you feel rubbish that you haven't really ompleted the challenge. The set list isn't totally the best but the same as World Tour, it has to grow on me.

The graphics are pritty cool. Even though from what I have said about it, it seems that I don't really like it, but I think it is really cool.

The Coner rating I think it deserves a:

8/10

Facing the Truth

Today, going into Game to buy Pure on Xbox I was struck buy 'The Beatles.' Today was the launch of the awaited 'The Beatles Rock Band.' Now I don't think this is very much of it as 1). I am not a Beatles Fan and 2). I Prefer Guitar Hero to Rock Band (and yes there is a difference). Although what did entertain me were the Guitar which were being sold in the Bundles, The Rickbacker 325 and the Grestch Dou Jet Guitars and the Hofner 500/1 Bass Guitar. Very cool and very different.

But then the truth struck me when I caught the bus going home. The Metro Newspaper was next to where I sat and the headline stood out, 'Beatlemania to strike again' and a picture of the game play.

The article was just generally talking about the Beatles history and how they have come so far that they are now in a game. To read the article click on the link,

http://www.metro.co.uk/metrolife/music/article.html?

Beatlemania_to_strike_again&in_article_id=733265&in_page_id=25

Though the thing which most shocked me and is really true are the quotes which Pink Floyd star Nick Mason and Bill Wyman.

In the article it said that Sir Paul admitted to not playing the game. But then the worst thing that they could say bagging on the game but at the same time is the truth. Summary: Wyman said that "the game simulator makes fewer people dedicated to playing and instrument."

Along side Nick Mason commenting on it saying, "It irritates me having to watch my kids playing the game where if they spent as much time practising the guitar than pressing a few

buttons, they would be damn good by now.

This is technically true as I don't practice playing the Bass Guitar as much I should, but it's about doing something you like doing. And I like Guitar Hero (sort of like Rock Band but not the same).

For their information, Guitar Hero and Rock Band is good because it's easy to pick up and play unlike learning a real Guitar and you can play it with the family or friends without all of you having to learn a instrument.

Buying to Down grade.

Today was seen as the new PS3 Slim release date and did I see it. Adventuring into town today and popping into Game to pre-order the new Guitar Hero 5 game plus guitar, I was shocked by the queue. I changed my plans and just had a look around and intending to leave I was stopped by rain and Thunder.

To not go out in it I then decided to queue. Well the amount of the feelings which went through my body, amusement, shock as I looked down what now seemed the longest tills ever 3 PS3 slims brought at the same time and another straight after. I couldn't close my mouth from how stunned I was.

Even though all these things came over me there is a lot of things that need to be thought about first. Me personally I like the design of the new PS3 slim although I still really like the original PS3 design also, Score 1-1. Getting serious, the Slim has push buttons to switch it on ((not cool)also doesn't help that the colour doesn't go well with the black of the slim). Then only 2 USB ports when the PS3 has 4 and consumers 34% less power and a lot more things

What I want to get to is that what you are paying for is a PS3 which is Slimmer and lighter in weight which I see no point in as you will hardly pick it up, less power, some of the feature of the PS3 the new has less or even none of (USB Ports, no power switch etc).

And the Most important thing is that the PS3 Slim and PS3 are now the same price, really all you are getting is a worse PS3 and that you have been pulled into buying it for it's new look.

Score: PS3 Slim 1 - Original PS3 - Lost Count, so many.

Totally Wanted UPDATED

OK with nothing to do all the day and being asleep for more than half of it, I have been research on guitar Hero games to come out. The story starts at when I got Guitar Hero World Tour GUITAR BUNDLE for XBOX 360 for my Birthday and as I knew, in result of buying world tour I would also want the drums.

The last 2 Guitar Hero games which have come out (Metallica and also Smash Hits) they haven't sold the Band Bundle and looking at the next 2 Guitar Hero games coming out in September they will be selling the full Band Bundle. Unfortunately I have spent the money on my Game card which I got after trading in my DS and Games which I got £78 and as I thought they wouldn't bring out another Band Bundle I spent it Stupidly.

In result, I will need to save up for it all over again. After calculations I worked out that solid hard working for a month will bring me to a £1. Not really it should bring me to something like £10 or so pounds away when I get EMA, (that's if I do get it) £30 a week if I go to school and £40 at the end of the month. My plans are all set for it and I can't wait.

Guitar Hero 5 is out September 2009.

Totally Wanted.

This is partly going to me another blog post about me talking about how I have no money toget what Iwant to get, for this I am sorry.

Any how, recently for some total reason I got back into gaming back on my PSP which I have no idea who it happened, but as it's the only recent and decent game console I own at the moment I have been looking for games for it. I play on my friend's PS3 (Emerald Coast) and the games on the PS3 are amazing and I get really gellous that I don't have them but now after Sony's gaming conferrence, a few of the games which have and are coming out on the PS3 are now coming out on the PSP.

Some of these games are:
Little Big Planet which I am a big fan of on the PS3 when I play over my friends house
Motor Storm: Arctic Edge which I am really excited about as I really want a better racing game on my PSP. Hopefully they will live up to what they say and show.
Grantrimo 5 after the months and months of think when will it come out on PS3 they also said they were going to release the full game which is on PS3 as wel on PSP, amazing
Assassins Creed 2: Bloodlines even know the first game wasn't really up to scratch on the PS3, hopefully number 2 will be quite good.
And I am praying that they will relise a Guitar Hero for the PSP
AND MORE.

These games I really want but most likey will not get all as soon as I am wishing I want them, I will need to save up a lot to get them. As well as that, it would be my dream come true if I would be able to own the new PSP GO when it comes out, it would be amazing.

P.S. All of these things are a want and not a need as I really hate people who say that they need something which is a want and not a need. E.g. I need a new game, NO YOU DON'T, you want a new game, Stupid people.

Guitar Hero Poll

There is a poll asking the Qesution.

What Guitar Hero Game is the Best?

Please Vote for your favourite one.

The poll is in the side bar.

So much for so much Fun

At this moment in time Guitar Hero equipment i.e. Drums, Guitar Hero Metallica and more is something which is at the top of my wish list for saving up. Searching for all these things on the entertainer (Internet) you can come across some amazing things and I found something amazing related to guitar hero 

This hear is a Guitar Hero Guitar Made from LEGO, even more amazement came to me when I found out that this guitar actually does work with the game. 

This is a real possibly contender for the Next 

Guitar Hero Guitar. 

Think this is possible for the drums also?

They Should Conversations THEY HAVE

If you read my previous post 'They Should Conversation' well that they should have become a THEY HAVE. From the master of all knowledge whose name I will no mention (Jongudmund) I have been informed that there is a sort of Guitar hero but not guitar hero Christian Worship game called
Guitar Praise
Guitar Praise is a PC format game which is the first downer and not on any games consoles. So far not what I really wanted as I hoped that it would be on a Games Console and made by Activision or Neversoft. But it's got a Guitar and had good rock Christian music which is good but on screen play doesn't look to good.
This just shows how much I have got into Guitar Hero World Tour.

Guitar Praise is out in the US but news tells me that I will be coming to us in the nearer future. So look out for it in the shops. My They should Dream hasn't fully come true yet but might happen some day.
Cool as it looks on the Coner scale it gets a
7/10

They Should Conversations

The best type of conversations is the 'they should' conversations when you talk about something and wish that they would create this or do that. In our older youth group this morning, some how we come across talking about Guitar Hero, not really suprising in a Sunday Morining Older Group Youth at Glenwood. Then the one thing only mentioned in the group about Christianity was the my friend Tom came out and said THEY SHOULD make a Christian Worship Guitar Hero game.

That was one was possibly the best 'they should' idea I have ever heared. Creating a Christian Edition of Guitar Hero and another surgestion for it was that they should create a cross for for the guitar very funny. Well we must wait and see what happens, if it might hit the shelves some day.

Reaching that age.

It was my birthdat yesterday, Happy birthday to me. Getting older turning 16; I does bring you some advantages like going to the cinema and when they ask you how old you are for a 15 and being able to say that you area year older, buying a lottry ticket which I did yesterday (rubbish numbers) and some other gulty pleasure legally if you know what I mean.

So as getting older can be really boring it can have it's benifits, bring on 18. But my birthday went well, apart from staying in the hospital all day in the concourse and no being able to play on Guitar hero world tour which is amazing and also the songs on it and then going for a meal at Dinner 77 and seeing 'Slum Dog Millionnaire ' 8/10 (worth seing) at the cinema. It all went well and was a good day.

Rocking Around

On Friday night I did an All Nighter with my Church (if you read the previous post then you would know about it) and one thing which they had was a Game console and one of the younger youth brought Guitar hero for the PS2. Fed up of the group of friends I hang round with talking about how amazing it is and never tried it, I thought I would give it a go.

Hopefully as I say this I will be right, comment if you disagree. First time you try something like Guitar hero you ain't the best, sort of like the dance mat. As you play it more, you get the hang of it, just like Guitar Hero. Play on easy mode of a bit and you get it. My advice, if you don't have guitar hero for yourself and you play with your friend on his and you get good at easy, Don't move on to the next difficulty, I repeat DO NOT move on to the next difficulty.

I tell you this because of the shear Embarassment you will experience like meself. So until you get Guitar Hero for yourself then DO NOT move onto a hard difficulty. But also playing for hours on end does start to hurt your fingers but you start to grove to it after a while which is cool.

My Personal Rating is 10/10 on any console

(note that on PS2 the Guitar is smaller but still great)
