More GGHT Trouble: This Time It's Physical

[Billtvshow]

So last night I was playing at my friend's house and he wanted to do BWT, so we did that for awhile. I was doing expert vocals and he is kind of transitioning into playing expert bass, since we've hit the cap where we have to do that now. Anyways, after failing out of Run To The Hills he flipped his computer chair and threw something else in the other room. He came back in and we played another set and made it through and then we decided to play through the southern rock set. First two songs, not too bad. Then we got to GGHT. Before we started I told him I vaguely remember people talking about the difficulty of the guitar parts on it. Anyways, it was going somewhat well until we got to the end. It's the very, very long guitar solo where the vocalist has like 200+ taps, so I couldn't bail him out. It got too hard for him and he failed out really early in the solo, at which point he proceeds to swing his guitar into his 360 elite, which makes a God awful screeching sound. Long story short, it destroyed his rock band disc, destroyed his intercooler somehow, and the unit only powers up sporadically now, though it does seem to still play discs ok. So, it looks like my career is temporarily suspended until I can get a copy of the game myself. :)
Sorry I don't have a video to show for it; that would have been awesome.

... what is he like 10? Who the hell would smash their stuff just because they couldn't play something? Spoiled little brat, ain't he?

[DasKonstruct]

he probably didn't pay for any of the stuff he broke. I treat my 360 and controllers with a lot of care cause I sure as hell don't want to pay to replace them.

Exactly... oh well, he gets what he deserves IMO. No way in hell I'd ever slam ANYTHING into any of my entertainment stuff... my TV, my 360, my guitar, anything... that **** is expensive and I have to pay for it.

[Billtvshow]

Funny thing is, he indeed did pay for it. He has a severe temper problem, especially with video games. Most of the time everything is fine, but when he can't beat or get past something repetitively hard, no inanimate object within 50 yards is safe. I've seen many a game controller make a hole in a wall.

[DasKonstruct]

make new and better friends. Never know when one of those controllers is going to take your head with it.

ya making a ps3 and RB happen on one payday leaving me no money for food or smokes for a week in a half was enough for me, its not something easily replacable. i could never see myself getting angry enough to throw 550$ down the drain like that...

[HMXDave]

How old is your friend? Sounds like he has some anger management issues.


Man, if one of my friends ever did that he would catch a beating.

Dang... budgeting and pre-orders, dude... try them out ;)

[m00p]

lol thats just uncalled 4.... yes i have been caught for slamming my explorer in the ground while the fire n the flames or Lou on Hard but into ur Xbox 360 Elite? that thing is precious....

[Billtvshow]

He was also talking about selling it, which he usually does after something like this. I would've actually strongly considered buying it if he hadn't, quite literally, destroyed it before my very eyes.

... sounds like my old roommate in college... watched him trash three controllers the week that Halo 2 came out and then he sold Halo for 30 bucks to our neighbor... he sticks to RPG's now, can't handle the fact that he's not great at everything. He's also never been laid ;)

[KaYotiX]

Sounds like he is a 10 yr old brat.....
Glad he cant play it anymore. What an idiot.

That's probably a good thing. With those sorts of management issues, I wouldn't want to be the woman if he found out he "couldn't go the distance"... ;)

Isn't this the type of thing you're supposed to do because you just played AWESOMELY!?!?!

I would think smashing everything up because you can't win is sort of anti-climactic.

Whenever I 5-star a song on easy I light my stratocaster on fire, throw the singer into the drum kit and swing the microphone around like a mace, smashing every console and TV in the room.

That is Win. :D

I don't pay for most of my video game related stuff (aside from Rock Band), and I still take damn good care of it. My parents wasted good money on this stuff.

But really, that dude's an idiot. Also, bass track isn't so hard.

Pro tip: When you get a fan cap, go back to the first venue you started in and work your way up with the new difficulty. That way you don't have to just jump from playing Run to the Hills on Hard to playing it on Expert. It's like working your way through the solo career mode again.

[holyground]

I have a friend who is exactly like this. I say friend, but it's really a friend of a friend, but we're over his house cause he has 2 60 inch dlps to play Halo3 on.

ANYWAYS, he's 28, married and has paid for all of his own things. But if he starts losing, he'll start screaming obscenities at the top of his lungs and fling his controller around. Last count he had 6 360 controllers... 2 are broken.

I only let him play guitar on my x-plorer... no way does he touch the strat or les paul. So yeah, I have to have 3 guitars to play rock band with him....

"How old is your friend? Sounds like he has some anger management issues. Man, if one of my friends ever did that he would catch a beating."

Haha. Oh, the irony.

I used to speedrun Doom competitively. It was a standing joke among the top players that you weren't a *real* speedrunner till you'd smashed at least two mice. Breaking a 360 because you can't pass a song is a little extreme, though.

[Billtvshow]

Well looks like things weren't as bad as they seemed. Apparently he got his box powering on properly and intercooler working and is going to get a new copy of the game and was very apologetic about everything.
