My initial thoughts from a Guitar Hero virgin. Took 7 tries but I finally finished a song. Fog Hat, Slow Ride. - Redmond Feb 12, 16:02 10
- VNGH! -- nm - con_carne Feb 12, 16:24
- It's very addicting. And you get good *quick* - once you get to Hard you won't be able to play Easy again because it's *too* easy. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 12, 16:22 2
  - I had 4 songs completed in a row, with one encore. Then Barracuda nailed my ass. I am getting boos as I type this. - Redmond Feb 12, 16:40

- Bery, you should whip up a way to export threads from this board to the minor league board. If you see a nice, innocuous post that doesn't have a lot - mara Feb 12, 16:15 5
  - I guess the first step would be adding in the "Fave" function. :) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 12, 16:21 4
    - Yeah, but *we'll* fave the ones with snark and inside jokes. :-) -- nm - mara Feb 12, 16:22 3
      - It would just be handy for me to be able to fave all the feature suggestion posts :) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 12, 16:24 2
        
        Oh, duh, it's on an individual basis. (That is, I'd have my faves and you'd have yours.) I get it now. -- nm - mara Feb 12, 16:25 1

- I welcome it -- nm - con_carne Feb 12, 16:09
- That's not a bad idea. We can all make a few posts there to sort of help things along. -- nm - mara Feb 12, 16:08
- I got the call! I'm going to the show! -- nm - Quality Noob on demo board Feb 12, 16:04 1
  - they got it all in the show. you know you never have to make your own posts? auto-fill does it for you. you have white backgrounds for making practice - dogbert183 Feb 12, 16:09
- I like this idea because we can then demote people. - dogbert183 Feb 12, 16:04 1
  - alright, back to the minors. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 12, 16:05
