A Work Of Obsanity

For those of you that don’t know, I’m a huge Guitar Hero fan. Since my life has been fairly busy and hectic as of late, it’s pretty much the only game I ever get to play, since it doesn’t require a massive commitment. Here is how it normally goes down: I’m home alone, I start the game, grab the first of many a beer from my mini fridge, and rock out. It seems, at least to me, the longer I play (i.e. the more I drink) the better I get. The high score boards in the game also reflect this, so it isn’t just me thinking I’m awesome - or is it? Thus, an experiment is born.

I have composed a list of ten songs, the ones I play most regularly. I will take part in two separate play sessions - one without any beer at all, and the other whilst partaking. Here are the rules I have set into place:

1. Songs Must Be Played In One Sitting
2. Songs Must Be Played In Order
3. Songs Must Be Played On Expert Difficulty (Free Bird On Hard)
4. A Minimum Of Four, And Maximum Of Six Beers Consumed
5. Results Based On Number Of Notes Hit - Not Final Point Score

I decided to base the amount of total rock awesome on the ratio of notes hit for each song. There are certain factors in the game that contribute to your final score per track, but this should provide a nice constant to go by. Other statistics for each song will be listed - just for shits and giggles.

UPDATE 1: Round One Completed! (non-drinking)

UPDATE 2: It All Came Down To Free Bird…

It appears that the rapid flow of notes towards the end of Free Bird was just to much for my drunken head to decipher. However, my stage presence, while drinking, more than makes up for the missed notes!
