I've been a bit lazy with my blogs recently, because I'm a lazy person

Rock Band has been getting played quite a bit too since I got it last Friday. I thought I'd be able to do guitar on medium, but I got stuck so I'm back on boring easy! I'm also attempting the hard vocal career and I'm 2 sets of songs away from finishing that. I got really stuck on Orange Crush and Should I Stay Or Should I Go, it just didn't seem to register my low notes for that song, obviously I'm better at high notes...as my 96% on Enter Sandman proves lol. I'll try and get some pics of my characters up soon.

GRID arrived yesterday, but it's not getting played for a long time I don't think, as I'm enjoying Rock Band and the Lego Indiana Jones game is out soon which I'm looking forward too very much.

Seeing as WiiFit wasn't helping my weight loss, I've joined Tesco Diets to try to help me to lose weight. They give you a weekly shopping list and meal plans for each day, so hopefully this will work. It's my last hope before I'm resigned to a life of eating junk food and being so fat that they need a crane to lift me out of bed. My 21st birthday and my holiday are at the end of June, so I'm hoping that I'll look a bit less podge-tastic by then, so wish me luck

ZOMG! Thursday blog! Good luck on the weight loss program thing!

Happy b-day zoe

Good luck with the diet. I don't seem to be getting anywhere with mine. Haven't noticed any weight loss at all and it's doing my head in. Is that Tesco thing free?

Argh you have thrown me right out with a Thursady blog!

I'm glad your enjoying RB - I have no hope in the world of getting it so air guitaring is as close as I'm getting

Well good luck with the diet - but don't go bonkers with it and I guess happy B'day to you!!

@Caddy06_88: Thanks

@darfvader: Thanks aswell, although I'll remind you again next month

@BZSIN: Ta, I tried dieting by myself and lost no weight at all so I decided to go the proper route. It's not free but its only £30 for 10 weeks, so about £3 which to me is worth it if I can actually wear the kind of clothes that all the girl shops sell!

@Anabub: Sorry for all the confusion, I just thought I should do a blog soon, although in retrospect it probably would have waited until tomorrow! I'd suggest you just played Rock Band with the GH guitar...but singing is too much fun, although I have given the drums to my boyf for now because they were so noisy! Thanks, sure I won't I just want to be able to buy nice clothes and look good in them, I'll have to remind you about my birthday closer to the time too, it's 25th June (256 see it all makes sense!) incase you want to buy any presents in advance lol

Yeah, for some reason a lot of my notes didn't seem to register on Orange Crush either. Weirdness!
Posted May 29, 2008 6:51 am PT
@ZhugeMarc: I reckon its something to do with the song because on most of the other songs my low notes register fine, just that and SISOSIG didn't register them at all! I even tried turning all the backing music off and everything and holding my microphone to the telly and that didn't work lol

96% on Enter the Sandman! A 20 year old woman with the voice of James Hetfield is a scary proposition.

My girlfriend is on Weightwatchers at the moment and has lost 12 and a half lbs in 4 weeks! It requires a bit of list-keeping and points-counting but she likes it. She said the meeting co-ordinator is just like Marjorie Dawes Good luck

I quite like the look of Rock Band, I have been playing a bit on Guitar Hero 3 today to try and get some more achievements and it was fun. It got me thinking about Rock Band but I shall see, its quite expensive but for the Drums and actual game it would be cool (the extra guitar could be useful and the microphone probably left in the box haha, don't want to shatter the windows ).

What's the track list like compared with GH3?

Good luck with everything else and let us know what you think of the full version of GRID.
Posted May 29, 2008 7:17 am PT
@-INKling-: Yeah, I taught James everything he knows! Obviously I'll be singing in a higher octave so don't think I talk like a man or anything! Wow, thats a good loss, hope I can achieve that! I think I'll have to be pretty precise with mine too, lots of weighing things and measuring soup to exactly 100mls lol still it's worth it in the end
Posted May 29, 2008 7:20 am PT

@Garfield360UK: Yeah, it is expensive but shops are doing their own price reductions on it. It's £150 in my local Zavvi and £140 from play.com so it's not toooo bad! The tracklist is okay, not sure which I prefer there are some more modern songs in RB but some that I really don't like. Wiki has the full tracklist here. I think I was a bit opposite to everyone else, I didn't really want to play the drums but I wanted to sing lol.

Posted May 29, 2008 7:23 am PT
Gardfield360UK: I'd say Rock Band's tracklist is much, much better than GH3's. Plus you have all that DLC!
Posted May 29, 2008 7:25 am PT
Yeah, sounds good. "Don't look back in anger" by Oasis is really tempting me to get the game as I love that track and some other downloadable content. Hopefully "Importance of beind idle" and some Feeder/Beatles tracks make it on there and its a must have. Bah.,... must stop tempting myself to get it haha.
Posted May 29, 2008 7:29 am PT
Laziness FTW!
Posted May 29, 2008 8:37 am PT
I'll play Rock Band...one day...
Posted May 29, 2008 9:28 am PT
I've been playing RB with a friend and my brother since it was released, and the only time I've done decently on vocals was on Easy Blitzkrieg Bop All the best with the dieting, though I'm sure the weight thing is an exaggerated problem.
Posted May 29, 2008 9:37 am PT
Tesco diets?? They really are taking over the world! Hopefully I'll be able to play rock band one of these days... *sniff*
Posted May 29, 2008 10:03 am PT
Good luck with the weight loss, I'm sucking with my diet only gained 5lbs in like 2months (I wanna gain weight....) Have a good b-day an hols if I don't comment on ur blog b4 then.
Posted May 29, 2008 10:56 am PT
I'm well jealous - Rock Band looks fab! Ah well I've gotta stick to Guitar Hero... I should really start to lose some weight or at least get off my ass and start exercising but I love pizza and laziness to do that
Posted May 29, 2008 11:53 am PT
I might pick up GRID Friday. Maybe.
Posted May 29, 2008 12:10 pm PT
I hope you millionaires are having fun with RockBand as us ordinary people can't afford it. Well Ihope you have fun with it.

Also good luck on the weight loss programme.
Posted May 29, 2008 12:24 pm PT
Rock Band = Awesome

GRiD = A stain on the good name that is TOCA
Posted May 29, 2008 1:27 pm PT
Good luck with the diet. Im on a diet myself and know how tough it can be. No beer for 4 weeks How much is the Tesco diet weekly bill usually come to?
Posted May 29, 2008 1:35 pm PT
Enjoy the games, i didn't know GRID was already out Not played Rock Band yet, and i don't intend too (anytime soon anyway).

Good luck with the diet
Posted May 29, 2008 3:13 pm PT
enjoy ROCK BAND
Posted May 29, 2008 4:04 pm PT
Diets - YUK! I never needed (touchwood) to diet but i find my weight yoyos all the time. Ive never been the fittest but im not unfit i have always found that regular exercise and moderate eating and reasonable times is the way to go. Persoanlly i try not to eat after 7pm as its not good having food just sitting inside you when you want to sleep.
Posted May 30, 2008 1:53 am PT
Rock band is hella fun. After playing it a friends who got it for his birthday, i really want it but I havent got people to play it with and its a lot of money.
Posted May 30, 2008 6:51 am PT
rock band looks off the chain! I'll pick it up sooner or later, pretty much when one of my friends gets it, I'll get it too.
Posted Jun 4, 2008 4:23 am PT
Hey Zoe what do you think of Rock Band, Im just assuming you played it lol, rushing through blogs, I've just got it and I can't say its that much better than GH3 with the instruments, just a totally crap song list lol, well, to me lol, its crap
Posted Jun 6, 2008 5:28 am PT
Yeah, I wasn't too keen on the song list either, some of the modern songs are quite good aswell as some classics like Enter Sandman...but some are just so obscure and I've never heard of them before ever! I was a bit disappointed with the whole game tbh.
Posted Jun 6, 2008 5:36 am PT
Yeah, I don't believe this lol, my bro traded in GH3 for this game and I like 1 song on the whole game lol
Posted Jun 6, 2008 3:23 pm PT
Rock band looks really great =D
Have a great birthday! ^_^
Posted Jun 11, 2008 12:28 am PT
Guitar Hero just seems more appealing to me...
Posted Jun 21, 2008 10:14 am PT
Happy Birthday
