The next Rock Band will have a segment where you beat up the band from Guitar Hero in the back alley after the show.

I just hope all the controllers talk with each other. Something tells me the Rock Band drum kit will not work with the Guitar Hero World Tour. Which means Drew will have (2) e-drum kits in his living room.

My impression though was that the drum kit was just redesigning the game pad into a drum kit form. An X or Triangle button press is still just a button press, yes? I mean, when you hit one of the drum pads, you're just sending button press information to the console, right?

This might even tempt me.
My poor housemate was so excited to show me "our" new Wii Fit. I'm not sure why he thought I would be interested when I haven't even tried any of the zillion other electronic contraptions he has.

You would think this is the case, but the companies have not been playing well with each other. It's Guitar Hero that refuses to work with other controllers, Rock Band works fine with Guitar Hero controllers. They've shown pictures of the Guitar Hero drum set and it is configured differently so that a few of the pads are cymbals and I think it might have more pads as well.

All right, FG II installed. Just need to figure out how to, you know...
...use it.

Using it is pretty simple. I've been looking over the documentation for programming it (located at the FG website), and it's now very clear that reprogramming it to handle Shadowrun or Serenity will take...
... some work.
Oi.

I tried to re-install bootcamp so I could install FG. No luck (some details in technology). Uggg. Me wants to play!
