I looked at news and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.quartertothree.com\/game-talk\/showthread.php?t=64461\">relevant threads<\/a> to keep abreast while I was on the road, but not too much. I kind of figured all this PSN stuff would sort itself out by now. Surely it would have to.<\/p>\n<p>Nope. This <a href=\"http:\/\/www.patrickstewart.org\/psn\/default.asp\">PSN<\/a> is fine. Not the one I need right now, though. So I figured I&#8217;d do another story level for the above-the-fold of this week&#8217;s column. I fired up my PS3. Launched LBP2. Went to my pod and engaged Story mode. Started sorting through the bits I&#8217;d already played, trying to figure out which section of this particular world level I had not yet tried. Looked at percentages. Thwocked around trying to ascertain where the next unplayed bit was. Did this for a few minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Paused. Recalled something my six-year old taught me on the plane the other day. Took a deep breath. Let it out and said&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Fuck it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>After the break, peggle for your thoughts<\/strong><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t worry, I was in the room alone.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not that online is everything. That old adage about a tree falling in a forest doesn&#8217;t apply to all games I play. Obviously. But the real drawing power of this game, from the get, was its community aspect. Without that, the game has increasingly felt empty. Again, this isn&#8217;t the case with all games. If it were I&#8217;d never figure out if taking Princess Seraphine directly to Bartonia, and thus pissing off the Trarg, was actually a good idea. To say nothing of all the Peggle levels I&#8217;d leave unsolved.<\/p>\n<p>Which reminds me.<\/p>\n<p>My kid is better at games than I am. He&#8217;s in first grade now. But he&#8217;s better than I am.  Leagues better. And not just because he commandeered my DS on a recent flight home and totally and without ceremony schooled me on my latest pride-of-supremacy game, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.quartertothree.com\/fp\/2011\/04\/28\/weekly-little-big-planet-dark-on-the-rock\/\">Peggle<\/a>. Yes, that&#8217;s a stupid game to be proud of but shut-it. I was awesome at that game and proud of it&#8230;then he came along and&#8230;I can&#8217;t talk about it. Sorry. Too soon.<\/p>\n<p>What I can talk about is what he taught me. That giving up within games is okay. I hate not finishing things. I don&#8217;t like to switch to a new game if I haven&#8217;t beaten the level of the game I&#8217;m playing. But watching my boy play Angry Birds, for instance, taught me something. If a level is frustrating him, he&#8217;ll work it and work it up to a point, then he&#8217;ll move on to a different challenge and come back later. A different Angry Birds level. Or maybe a different game. Cut the Rope. A new one for the iPad his grandfather just taught him called Sparkle. Peggle on my DS. Doing this fazes him not a whit.<\/p>\n<p>Sleep tight, PS3.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s been months since I fired up my 360. Months. The shocking failure of Sony to figure it out over the last couple of weeks while I&#8217;ve been on the road means it&#8217;s time for me to pick up a different controller and power up a neglected console. Hmm, I wonder what game is waiting for me there?<\/p>\n<p>No I don&#8217;t. I know what&#8217;s there.<\/p>\n<p>I check my batteries, blow the dust of my pads, and wipe off my sticks. It&#8217;s time for some drumming. About damn time.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"fancybox\" rel=\"6533\" href=\"http:\/\/www.quartertothree.com\/fp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/silversun600.jpg\"<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.quartertothree.com\/fp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/silversun600.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"silversun600\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6562\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I (not pictured) haven&#8217;t played Rock Band 2 at home in forever. Last time I drummed was at this couples&#8217; LAN party thing my friend Tom throws every year or so. All I want to do in Rock Band is drum and sing. Singing alone at home is out of the question. I tried it once. Never again. I&#8217;m not sure I can explain it. It&#8217;s not that it felt pathetic so much as&#8230;well&#8230;impotent. I love singing in Rock Band when I&#8217;m playing with my buddies. Alone it&#8217;s like trying to run your best time in a sprint when you&#8217;re not racing against any other runners.<\/p>\n<p>Drumming is not like that. I can drum alone all day. It&#8217;s more gratifying with the whole band, but doing it alone isn&#8217;t much of a step down. In fact, it&#8217;s rewarding in its own way. Relaxing and rewarding and exciting.<\/p>\n<p>I started Rock Band 2 and jumped into tour mode as usual. I selected a city and called up a mystery set list. Not something challenging. It&#8217;s been months since I drummed. I&#8217;m not only out of practice, I&#8217;m out of shape. I&#8217;d probably be fine with the former. My sense of rhythm would carry the day. As for the latter, there&#8217;s no way to fake through that. On the faster songs my right arm would flat give out. My muscles simply weren&#8217;t ready. That&#8217;s why I picked a regular mystery set list to start. I had a couple of tougher songs I knew I wanted to mess around with later, so I couldn&#8217;t let myself get tired out early in warm-up.<\/p>\n<p>First song up on the mystery set list: &#8220;Texas Flood&#8221;. Very easy song to drum, even on Hard. Still I was pleased to get this one because it brought up happy memories of working my ass off the first time I beat it on one of the Guitar Hero games at our weekly LAN party. I wasn&#8217;t very good playing the guitar on hard&#8211;this hasn&#8217;t changed&#8211;but as I tried I fell for the song more and more, and so I kept on trying until I got it. Took some time, but I got it. I can still remember beating it the first time. I was alone in the living room while the other guys played an RTS in the back room. I looked around, wanting to share in the victory. Couldn&#8217;t. I just rested my hand on the neck of my fake instrument, wiped the sweat from my brow, took a swig of beer and nodded to myself. That would have to do.<\/p>\n<p>Tonight, I smiled as the first notes played, recalling that time when the only instrument we had was the plastic guitar. Back then I didn&#8217;t know from drums. I find this memory weird. I love the drums in this game so much. It&#8217;s kind of hard for me to remember playing these songs without drums as an option at all. I realize this will sound weird to most folks reading this. It&#8217;s kind of like imagining a time before Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>I instantly regret saying that. Anyway, this is my first time drumming in months, as I said, and I knocked &#8220;Texas Flood&#8221; off at 99% and five stars.<\/p>\n<p>Next, Interpol&#8217;s &#8220;PDA&#8221;. I love that song. Ninety-seven percent and five stars. After that was &#8220;Should I Stay or Should I Go&#8221; by The Clash.  Same percent and stars.<\/p>\n<p>Mystery Set List out of the way I was ready to get to the songs I really wanted to try. Songs I&#8217;d been thinking of drumming for weeks now, almost without knowing it. One was &#8220;Limelight&#8221; by Rush. I can&#8217;t explain why I like drumming that song. I&#8217;m not even a fan of Rush. Maybe the movie I Love You Man has something to do with it. I don&#8217;t know. I had these friends in high school, in my AP English class, who thought Rush was the Second Coming. One of them wrote his term paper on Rush. I remember reading it during in-class editing and thinking, &#8220;Huh?&#8221; Now, though, drumming &#8220;Limelight&#8221; just fills me with joy. Go figure.<\/p>\n<p>The other song I had a hankering to play was &#8220;Chop Suey&#8221; by System of a Down. I barely know that song, but I&#8217;m fond of drumming it because it taught me how to let go. There&#8217;s a short section at the beginning that I failed at again and again when I first played the game. Eventually, somehow, I just turned my brain off and my hands flew. The rhythm just makes sense. I can still hear it in my head.<\/p>\n<p>As luck would have it I wound up in Stockholm while looking for a club in which to set up a custom set list. Specifically I wound up in a club called the Mjolnir Lounge, Kungsgatan 18L, Stockholm. First gig? My System of a Down song.<\/p>\n<p>I expected this one to be my first four starrer of the evening. It wasn&#8217;t. I bumped this one up to five stars and felt pretty good about myself. With little practice I was killing all these songs on Hard. It had been months. Maybe I was ready for Expert drumming! I had barely tried that before. Perhaps I had evolved in the months of not drumming.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Limelight&#8221; brought me back to earth. Yes, I only slipped to four stars, but I barely eked out that rating. I&#8217;d drummed this song far better in the past. I was clearly off my game. And yet&#8230;I felt great. Not completing this wasn&#8217;t bothering me. Wasn&#8217;t fazing me at all.<\/p>\n<p>Before hanging it up for the night I decided to queue up one more custom list. I flew through the available songs and picked the first two favorites that stuck out. &#8220;Lazy Eye&#8221; and &#8220;Monsoon&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not sure how to convey how drumming these two songs affected me tonight. Maybe you&#8217;ll know. Are there certain games that just relax you as soon as you start them up? &#8220;Lazy Eye&#8221; is a song by Silversun Pickups that does that for me. I can&#8217;t really explain it. I get the sticks in my hand, hit green to start the set list, and as soon as I hear those opening notes it&#8217;s like knots are starting to untangle in my muscles. It&#8217;s not like it&#8217;s an easy song for me to play, though. It requires concentration. But there&#8217;s something about the work of it that smooths me out.<\/p>\n<p>Tokio Hotel&#8217;s &#8220;Monsoon&#8221; has a similar effect on me, but it&#8217;s not quite the same. I feel relaxed again, but drumming this song feels more like talking to an old friend. I feel the song differently, and even after months of not playing it I can anticipate when the fills are coming in a totally different way. Much like the way I feel the next line of a monologue I&#8217;ve memorized before I say it.<\/p>\n<p>The only problem with all this drumming was that it reminded me of how much I miss singing in Rock Band. I&#8217;ve come to prefer drumming, but I miss singing. That was the first thing I did when the game showed up at our weekly LAN party. I was really looking forward to singing, but I played reluctant for a bit. These were my dude friends. Did I really want to sing in front of them? Oh who cares. Sure. It felt good and I think they were surprised (first song, &#8220;Learn to Fly&#8221;). Now Rock Band is passe at Shoot Club. What&#8217;s worse, because of the way Rock Band 3 works the instruments, vocals have become all but meaningless to make way for keyboards. So I haven&#8217;t gotten to really enjoy singing, or get to enjoy others working the mic, for a good long time. Now it looks like that time is all but gone.<\/p>\n<p>Oh well, I&#8217;ll always have drumming at home to look forward to. That&#8217;ll have to be enough.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks, Sony, for so thoroughly dropping the ball these last weeks. Feel free to keep doing so for as long as it takes, you sad bunch of hapless goofballs. I&#8217;m feeling better tonight than I have in a long time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lesson of this Week<\/strong>: <em>Know when to move on<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Here endeth the lesson.<\/p>\n<p>Click <a href=\"http:\/\/www.quartertothree.com\/fp\/2011\/05\/05\/weekly-little-big-planet-euphemisms\/\">here<\/a> for the previous Weekly Little Big Planet<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1654,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6533","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-features"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
