Complex Simplicities
Does it really matter what other's think of what you say? In this day and age, apparently so. So let them feast on my words!
Mya - Ghetto Superstar (feat. Pras). That song just started blasting on Fratmusic.com. Great site for the latest, greatest, and old school music for all music lovers. Check it out.
On to more pressing issues: DJ Hero. One word, 3 syllables: AMAZING!
What’s great about the hardware is the feel for the “turntable.” It actually feels and moves like a standstill table (even has the ridges on the side of the plate).
But the true gem of this game (dare I say “experience”) is the music. The craziest mixes by top DJs of today and yesteryear. Who ever thought that some old school MJ and Third Eye Blind could be mixed together to make one mash-up that has all the potential to get the party jumpin’? Genius I say.
I’ve played all versions of guitar hero and rock band, so I understand the concept of these button pattern games. But DJ Hero is a completely different beast. The guitar games required strumming, button mashing, and, occasionally, a little ride on the wammy bar (pause). DJH makes you move the turntable while following the button patterns, switching the fader from left, right, middle, and using the dial effect nob. A bit more to deal with, but it really makes you feel like a real DJ playing a set for a mob of 13,294 people.
You know when you play guitar hero for 2 hours straight and you look away towards a standstill object and it looks like its stretching? DJH is kind of the same way but the object starts bending because the game makes the button patterns appear at a curve (like a turntable). Pretty trippy.
