It's Raining Blood! Halleluja!

Ugh...

I've been playing Guitar Hero 3 a lot lately on my roommate's Wii. You might say that I'm obsessed with it.

Unfortunately I've encountered a wall of sorts, in the form of a horrible song named, "Raining Blood" by Slayer. It's so bad it hurts my brain, and on HARD I can't beat it. Everything is cool until about 45 seconds into the song, when a series of horrible noises emanates arrhythmically from my TV's speaker. It's ridiculously fast, and even after an hour of practice, I still can't figure out the rhythm. Worse, my hand is starting to hurt so badly from playing this game that during the day typing hurts my hands...

I'm not alone. I've found legions of friends online who can't beat it either. Some people have suggested using a rolled up sock! Well, then there's this guy.

  1. God, I hate that song so much... I don't want to give up, but I'm not really making progress either...
    I did finally gold-star When You Were Young on expert, right after you confirmed to me the existence of goldies!

    BTW, Give her something she'll cherish forever and then is that an electron micrograph of a viral load in the background?!

  2. Dude, I was going to post something on my blog with and say something like, "it's okay, Tom never reads this blog anyway." Now I can't remember what it was...

    Anyway, I finally beat Raining Blood! I know I am on Hard, so it is not quite as, um, hard, but I am still glad to be done with it. The key was just practicing the earlier parts until I was sure to get start power, and then I just barely make it though the awful triplets part.

    Of course, beating Lou is no cakewalk...

    Good luck in Googleton.
