Rain & Noodles
Saturday was a pleasant, quiet affair with a little shopping trip into downtown so the Wife could stock up on some art related materials. It rained and we walked in it, and I had to remind myself that here, when it rains, it only lasts for an hour or so, and is not a torrential downpour that renders umbrellas useless as the wind blows it in from the side. We ate at a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown that had food good enough for even the Wife to approve of. Apparently she was amazed at the quality of the Cantonese food there which, while certainly available in Singapore at similar quality, would not have cost us the $12+ our entire meal totaled up to between the two of us. Then again, she had a good feeling about the place the second she stepped in realized that the service was horrible and smells coming from the kitchen were hideous. This, it would seem, is the sign of quality food in Asia.
Also, I finally managed to get up to 93% on Hanger 18, which, at current progression, means I should actually complete the song sometime after the next American President is sworn in. Or, possibly never, if the potential vortex that is Rock Band sucks me in, never to return to Guitar Hero.

That’s one thing I haven’t been able to figure out (although I admittedly have done absolutely no research into the matter): Can you play Rock Band by yourself? I don’t see why they wouldn’t allow you to play the different sections individually, but I’ve only ever seen it demonstrated with the full quartet.
I guess the point is moot in my case, since I’m not going to upgrading to a new console anytime soon, but I am still curious (just not enough to actually go and Google the answer for myself).
You can play by yourself, it’s just most of the videos you see are trying to differentiate it from Guitar Hero as much as possible, so show what you CAN’T do with GH. And you may be in luck. Harmonix has recently announced that there’s a PS2 version in the works, it just won’t have the downloadable additional songs available for purchase. They may simply do what they did for GH80′s, and make the new stuff available as “expansion discs” to add onto the game.
