I’ve known my buddy Sam since high school, but haven’t seen him for years – he went to Cali to produce video games years ago. But now he’s moved to town! He’s working on “serious” games – currently one that help kids with cancer remember to take their medication. Cool stuff.
He’s downtown and drives out to RTP to work, I’m in suburbia and drive downtown to work, so we’re crossing paths. But we’re trying to get together on Wednesday evenings at his place. This week he bought a second guitar and we played a few hours of Rock Band 2, which was long enough to get the hang of the medium setting pretty well. The vocals on hard are easy, too. Sammy had bad dealings with Activision (he’s got lots of awesome gaming industry stories), so it’s Rock Band, not Guitar Hero, punk!
agreed, Rock Band is better
