A couch band on the weekend

Since I'm just in the mood to expel thoughts to paper and not in the mood to practice with tutorials, I figured just doodle something from my childhood that stands out.

So here we are, going back to a very fun period of my youth where I spent way too much time playing Rock Band 2 with my sister and cousin.

I mostly wanted to draw the vibe; to make something that makes me retread those memories at a glance, and this does it- as trimmed on detail as it is lol.

I modeled the character after my main character for the entire series, Greg, my boy. It's not exactly accurate for having done that, as in Rock Band 2 I had a full custom band including a sasquatch for drummer since tattoos could be abused to make fun characters back then.

But since in, what was it, RB4 I think it defaults to just copy pasting your 1 character to all 4 slots if you don't have people join- we went with that idea here lol

Anyways, this was just a nostalgia piece. One that has succeeded in making me smile right now.

Repost Vol. 58: In The Year 2000….Liugeaux’s Top 10 of the Decade

I found this today and thought it would make a good remixed repost. 14 years ago I was writing a lot of video game stuff for Techpedition.com. I’m sure no one ever read it, but it was fun putting my opinion out there, much like its fun doing it here. The only difference is, here, I KNOW no one is reading it. So there’s a bit more of a laissez-faire attitude to how weird I get. Hence, these re-visited “articles”. As I’ve done in the past, I’m posting the original article from Techpedition, warts and all, and I’ll be inserting commentary with my current opinion throughout. As always, this should be fun.  

Originally shared via Techpedition.com on December 24, 2009. Commentary will be in Bold.

In The Year 2000….Liugeaux’s Top 10 of the Decade

Right from the start, the presumption that my internet name is important enough to include in the article title is hilarious. Also, the “In the year 2000...″ was a reference to a 10 year old Conan O’Brien bit. I don’t know if it played well in 2009, but it definitely doesn’t play well in 2023. 

We are 10 years into the new millennium and I don’t have hoover boards, flying cars, or food in pill form, but what we do have are some kick ass games to play.   I’ve compiled a list of my top 10 games of 2000-2009.  Now before throwing the inevitable “How can you exclude game x?”, remember that I am only one man and can only play so many games. Actually I can tell you exactly how many games I’ve played, lol. The games I’m listing here are games that have either had a profound impact on my gaming habits, consumed ridiculous amounts of my life or left an imprint so strong they cannot go unmentioned.  Let’s see what I’ve chosen. I still had a real problem with using a double space after periods. Clearly a hold-over from college research papers.

10. Burnout Paradise Burnout has always been the critics favorite arcade-style racing game, but it never sold as well as it’s (that’s the wrong its) EA stablemate Need For Speed (probably because of the licensed cars). Paradise brings much needed open world gameplay to the series and its (that’s the right its) year’s worth of DLC updates makes it a compelling purchase to this day. It’s seemingly never-ending list of online content is what made it the the only racing game to get my attention in almost a decade. I guess I’m not counting Mario Kart.

9. Bioshock I have gushed about Bioshock before (That’s a link to a Bioshock review I did 2 years after the game came out, as part of my short-lived review series GST-Gamer Savings Time, where I reviewed games that were newly cheap. It was a bad idea.), and with good reason. Bioshock’s gameplay may not be perfect, but what it lacks is more than made up for in the story, atmosphere, and characters. Such an uncomfortably written sentence. To this day, Bioshock’s plot twist is something that I refuse to spoil for anyone and it holds the distinction of being one of the games I simply could not put down.

8. Metroid Prime Trilogy I know that putting the “trilogy” on this list is a kinda cheating, but I felt that I had to put one of the Prime games on the list, so why not make it the best package. My purchase of Metroid Prime was done as “why not” purchase. The game was $4.99 and I had run out of games to play. I wasn’t playing FPSs and I wasn’t too familiar with Metroid. By the time I was done, I found myself wanting to play more FPSs and being disappointed with many that I would pick up and play later.  As good as the original Gamecube titles were, I highly recommend you pick up the full proper experience and grab the Trilogy. The point and shoot controls are near perfect and you get all three fantastic games. Not mentioned here is how Metroid went on to be one of my favorite gaming franchises, with Super Metroid being one of my favorite games ever.

7. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Uncharted 2 is the newest game on my list, but its no less deserving than any other. By blending cinema quality cut scenes with an extremely solid single player campaign, Uncharted creates an experience that is more like an interactive movie than a video game. Its big in scale, with action set pieces that Indiana Jones, John McClane and Jason Bourne would kill for. So far its one of the only games that has proven that the PS3 has significantly more horsepower than its competitors. I really had no grasp on the English language, or I just refused to properly proofread. That paragraph, while accurate, is so full of grammatical errors, even I can’t take myself seriously.

6. Super Mario Galaxy As almost a joke, the idea of Super Mario Galaxy, seemed ludicrous. It was almost like Miyamoto said, “we’re out of ideas, let’s send his ass to space.” What came of this decision is the most engaging Mario adventure since Super Mario 64. Adding almost a 4th dimension to the adventure, Galaxy’s puzzles and gameplay mechanics are truly revolutionary and left me blown away. Two too many “almost”s and one too many “adventure”s, but again, what I’m saying isn’t wrong.  

5. Shadow of the Colossus Team Ico’s second outing on the PS2, was one of the most interesting games ever released and truly a marvel for its time period.  Released towards the end of the PS2’s hey day Shadow, threw all gaming conventions out the window and gave players exactly what they wanted, Boss Fights. As simply a series of elaborately well orchestrated puzzle-like boss fights your character, Wander, must find the weakness of each colossus in the game and exploit it to defeat it. This combined with a brilliant art style and a hauntingly vague story makes Shadow an absolute must-play on the PS2. Was I drunk when I wrote this? I sound like a 15 year old.

4. The Orange Box Again, I’m kind of cheating by putting The Orange Box in this list, but its inclusion is more of a symbol for the roll (it’s role, you dumbass) that Value (it’s Valve, yeah I definitely didn’t proof this at all) has had in gaming since the turn of the century. With the release nearly half a dozen critically acclaimed and eqaully fantatic (equally fantastic, sigh) games (many of which are included in The Orange Box) Valve has cemented themselves as one of the few publishers that can find success on the PC, and with the advent of Steam, Valve has revolutionize digital distribution and helped numerous smaller developers become overnight hits. Oh, and on top of that, The Orange Box is hands down the Best Deal in Gaming History.

3. Super Smash Bros. Melee Two Smash Bros games were released in the past ten years, but only one kept my attention for a solid five of those, and that would be Melee. Melee is easily one of the most balanced fighting games to ever be released and its equally as exciting as it is pure fan service. Even if you are not that good at it, buying SSBM is still a good idea for all Nintendo-philes.

2. Lumines 2 Not since Dr. Mario, and Tetris has a pure puzzle game been so effective at destroying my time. Lumines 2 improved on much of the problems that Lumines had and took the puzzle genre on a much needed acid trip. Its deceptively simple gameplay, mixed with music and atmosphere creates an experience that even after sinking 60+ hours into it I regret not having played more. To this day Lumines 2 is the only PSP game I take on every single road trip. In retrospect, putting Lumines so high is a bold choice. Personally, it DID have a profound effect on my gaming habits, but at #2, that might have been a bit too much. 

1. Rock Band 2 What can I say about Harmonix and Rock Band 2 that I haven’t already said. As the creators of Guitar Hero and Karaoke Revolution, Harmonix had already established themselves as the leading rhythm game developer, but Rock Band and its infinitely improved sequel combined everything they have learned and brought the genre to levels not previously seen. So much so, that even with RB2 being over a year old, their competitors, with 6 games released since RB2, haven’t even come close to eclipsing the sheer quality of the Rock Band product. I still play a decent amount of Rock Band 4 and the disc exports from previous games added value on top of value. Since this is a personal list, RB2 being at the top makes perfect sense, but I might have to go back and redo this with an updated opinion. Something just doesn’t sit right with how some of these landed.    

I know that the last one there was pretty predictable, but again, this is my list. I encourage anyone else to share their 10 below and lets start a new decade with some strong titles. Tony Hawk Ride, we’ll try to forget about you…okay. Wow, Tony Hawk Ride, just sitting there, catching strays. I throw it in like it was some landmark of bad game design. What a dick move. 

Yeah, I’ll probably redo this list, and while I’m at it, I’ve got the ‘10s I can dive into. See you next time!

Cheers
