dafey v4.0

This stuff is getting pretty expensive…the premium set is $300!

Rock Band 2 might not be out yet, but ION was kind enough to send us the new Drum Rocker Premium Drum Set a couple weeks early. Built like a tank, this thing makes the original Rock Band drum set look like the toy it is — we’re talking aluminum tube construction that apes traditional electronic rack kits, soft trigger surfaces that register velocity, and quarter-inch connections that’ll make modding a dream. Of course, all that heft means that set-up took over an hour and it eats up just about twice as much living room space as the original with no easy way to take it down, but if you’re a hardcore fake rocker and you don’t have the DIY chops to roll your own, this is $300 you’re gonna want to spend. A couple more quick impressions after the break, and tons of pictures in the gallery.

The kick drum pedal is fairly beefy, and while it’s not quite some monster DW rig, it’s pretty nice for what it is — it’s certainly going to stand up to abuse better than the Harmonix unit. The action is fairly light, but you’ll have to get used to it.
The pads are way nicer than the original kit’s, but they still don’t feel like drums, more like really nice practice pads. It’ll be interesting to see how they work when used with a game that registers pressure-sensitivity.
The cymbals are just duplicate pads — you can actually pick which color you want to double. That led to some odd patterns in Rock Band since the game doesn’t know about cymbals, but we’d bet that Rock Band 2 and Guitar Hero: World Tour have it sorted.
We definitely had to re-calibrate Rock Band to make this rig playable, so don’t expect to be able easily to swap between kits or anything.
Sadly, it doesn’t register as a regular MIDI controller when plugged into a computer — hackers, get on it!

This is in response to the WAR video posted below.

Cool video

Okay so it’s only been well over a year since I last posted but what better topic to mark my return with than a MMO post…

Who is going to play Warhammer: Age of Reckoning (WAR)? I know I started the evil WoW addiction many of you are still recovering from to this day but I think it’s time for some more crack!

Tomorrow, I am in the Preview weekend (the end of closed beta) so I will finally get my hands on the game I have been waiting 2 years for and I should be able to answer questions etc…

I currently have a group of 6-7 people playing, we are rolling Order to start. Planning on keeping a fairly small guild of people we know so we can avoid all of the crap that goes along with big guilds. Oh yeah and we already have 1 girl playing!

In case you haven’t seen it yet, check out the trailer:

Sorry Karen and any other significant others out there

If you get this phone number (248) 262-6861, it probably means you need to up your game a little bit.

Oh ahead and call it, it’s not a wierd 900 number or anything. If you see it on Dafey - It’s Fact!

***EDIT***
Sept 5th-7th.

Deal with it.

Its come to our attention that the weekend of August 29-31 is going to be a bad weekend for up north.

Some our familes are leaving to Chicago and some of us may have to be busy with it including myself.

I believe Sneaky and Tiddy would prefer it to be another day as well.

So the general consensus is moving it two weeks later to Sept 12-14th.

Hopefully this would work out for everyone!

You remember the crazy song thats in Rockband that starts off with “I’m so sick…” and then goes absolutely crazy?

Well here is the video for that song.

Not going to lie. I find her very attractive and that girl in Paramore…this one.

Is it just me or am I the only one who find semi-goth girls hot?

***wii edit***

here is the fight on someone’s blog Link

The ending is the best part.

I have a secret confession. I love Brock Lesnar.

As I was laying down at 3 30 in the morning I saw a very funny comedian on comedy central.

This Comedian named Roy Woods Jr actually was so funny he made me get up from bed at 3 30 in the morning and made me look him up for a half hour because I didn’t even know his name.

Thats not what I even saw on comedy central…some of his stuff is pretty funny.

Roy Woods Jr…you’re alright in my book.

If you are looking for a computer…perhaps this might be interesting to…feel free to share.

Guess where I went to lunch today? It was pretty good, the onions rings ok, but not great - but the burger was pretty good. It was more the experience than the actual meal.
