Weekend Discussion

Hope you're enjoying a fine specimen of a weekend. We've got the Video Game Release List if you aren't up to date on what's coming out this week. If you're looking for a 360, Microsoft just announced the 60gb model, with the 20gb taking a temporary price drop to $300 with Target offering an even better deal.

One rather noteworthy Shack-feature is that Nick Breckon interviewed a little studio called id software, covering Quake Live, Doom 4, Rage and more. Also, while there are conflicting reports as to the exact nature of it, something is going down at developer Flagship Studios.

      I don't get it, how is this better than a real drum set? It seems just as big. Is it cheaper? Just better for recording?

        It's a million different drum sets all in one.

        Doesn't make nearly as much noise (useful for home recording), and the samples can be switched around so its different kits, percussion, electronic kits etc.

        maybe you get to change samples and play the drum to the sounds of japanese girls moaning.

          a guy i played with once changed them all to different variances of "yeah!", "uh!", "alright!" and a distorted power chord.

          i almost killed myself that day.
