Don't update Guitar Hero II!

Red Octane recently released a patch over Xbox Live for Guitar Hero II, concerning the "broken" whammy bar issues some people seem to be having. Use special care downloading this update -- it has been known to brick some Xbox 360 systems. I haven't had this problem personally, but there have been more than a few confirmed reports of this patch not sitting well with many systems. From Destructoid (note, link may contain offensive material):

According to the official Guitar Hero II forums, Red Octane, tired of people weeping, and wringing their hands with grief over the spotty performance of their shiny, new whammy bars, has released a patch for Guitar Hero II via Xbox LIVE that should alleviate the issue.

The humor only begins there, though, as reading the thread where they announced the patch reveals that 90% of all replies were from people who installed the patch and subsequently had their 360s (metaphorically) catch fire, run around the room screaming, and collapse in utter agony. The symptoms seem pretty similar in all cases, with people having downloaded the patch and experiencing frequent lock-ups soon after. Compounding that thread o' bad news, is this thread over on the official Xbox forum filled to bursting with people whose 360s seem to have murdered themselves upon contact with the patch.

Thankfully, I lucked out and my whammy bar works like a German clock, but now I'm terrified to download this patch until Red Octane hires a QA department that isn't paid in cocaine and barbiturates. If any of you guys have borked your systems with this patch, hit up the comments. The general consensus is that you're going to have to RMA the system back to Microsoft, so it isn't like you have anything better to do, right?

Sadly, only uncleo (st0rmshad0w95) showed up. But we played some Gears for a little while, and then got it on in PGR 3 with some other random people. All in all, good times were had! =)

Stay tuned: the date, time and game for our next GameNight will be posted today or tomorrow.

New Leader on Local GHII Leaderboards

I just wanted to announce that as of 1:30 AM last night, after a five star cover of the Stone Temple Pilots on Hard mode, WBK has finally overtaken Dan12R on the local leaderboards by a scant 1800 points.

Speaking on condition of anonymity, one of the members of the band BILLICVS said, "I can't believe how hard that guy is making us work. 1-2 hours a night, all to beat some guy he's never met before? My voice is starting to really suffer. You won't mention that I'm the vocalist, right?"

In related news, #1 rated local band BILLICVS is searching for a new lead singer.
