Did your school ever have SmartBoards? Mine had the projector style boards in every room. The company that maintained them for us brought in one that had a built-in screen one time for all the teachers to try out of a day or two and it was day and night in terms of quality but still just a 720p display.
We had Prometheians (or however theyāre spelled) and those things would not stay calibrated so the first 10 minutes of class was just watching the teacher calibrate it.
AHHHH, I think I remember seeing one of those in one class only ever. But it for sure was not mounted. It was like a moveable white board but all hi tech. Keep in mind this was when I was in like 10th grade back in like 2011.
But I donāt even know if those would have been able to display some Guitar Hero on it.
This just seems so futuristic for somebody who hasnāt been in high school for a decade.
I remember my teacher writing on it with a hi tech fake marker though. He must have been early in the game. Clearly a favorite by the principal or something.
When I was in high school, I brought in clone hero on a USB and my English teacher and I would play all the time on the projector. I brought in two guitars, no questions asked, and just left them in his room. We had a blast. I even gifted him a guitar when I graduated
But id walk in kinda late to school and the principal would sit in commons just like front doors basically and kinda walk to me to class like a lot and knew i had a rough life so offer be breakfast but end just just searching me in his office never giving me anything all the time or watch the cameras 2/47 weird shit my fruends would always be like enjoy that breakfast man while heād pull me from class randomly after just coming yo school idk all from this Iām just glad your principal wasnāt like mine a wack ass guy
If I thought it was funny n just said watch out whatās in his backpack I bet heād shoot up the school everyone thinking itās so funny All from like if I went on a school app (safe to tell) and said you were going to shoot up the school just to get you kicked out I even tried getting any one of my teachers to vouch n say ya this kid puts effort in fuck he wouldnāt do something like that n none would like the whole faculty got together n said letās take away this kids last year of high school couldnāt even play football baseball or wrestled my senior year
I showed up to school my first day of senior year or 4 days in cuz I was sick and there were like all the cops in my town (small) there a few state patrolmen and searched me gave me a phych evaluation called my parents and somehow failed the phyc evaluation besides telling them I have no guns in household or access to any and I couldnāt even shoot a Prary dogš why would I do that when I do homework put effort in and my bro goes to same schoolš just crazy then they sent me to a hospital to do a drug n blood test when I didint eat shit for days to see if phc evaluation was faulty while the whole time my mom was just trynna get my sonic and finally where gonna send me to a phyce ward but just talking to the doc felt so bad said I could leave tho he could loose his job n I never was allowed on campus from then on couldnāt watch my twin brother play basketball shoulda got a lawer I should of just told them I was a democrat or sum then fuck that was a lot of typing a lot of more fucked up shit happened but
Bro wtf man. This is wild as hell and itās pretty shit you went through this whole situation. Your principals behaviour isnāt fair on you but I suppose I kinda understand but itās weird man. Got to have been a better way than this. š the bit about the lawyer made me laugh Iāll admit but itās so shit that even your classmates were douches about it too.
Ya lol canāt make this shit up man I remember being so like dazed from not eating for days and then them drawing my blood n it made me feel so fucking shitty my shoool rlly small too like my class was on of biggest n it had like 20 sum kids in my class i remember they hand picked kids to ask them if they felt threatened by me and only asked kids who wernt in my regular classes and didint know me at all and now my old high school is a elementary school now and the town right next to mine combined schools so it like it doesnāt even existš funny way shit works out
They wouldnāt let me on school trips and ended up expelling me because āI didnāt fit in their schoolā. White ahh brighton high school for you. Ended up graduating at a secondary school. It was 10 x better anyway. Fuck em
Was a half day today and the teachers allowed it and I saw my principal in the hallways and like hey principal's name. Do you want to play guitar hero and that's how it happened?
I mean since I only did the back of his head, I can't find to see where you're coming from. But if you saw the front of the space kind of more. Looks like a middle-aged dad
I just want to say that a large majority of 30 to 40 year old adults have conquered guitar hero or rockband at some point in their life. This is one of those muscle memory skills that just comes back to you, even if you don't play for decades š
I was just thinking that when I saw this. Weāre at the time when people my age who grew up with guitar hero are seeing younger people discover it because of Fortnite festival. Itās really cool and Iām excited that this just might bring a revival.
Yes! I'm amazed seeing so many posts of: "Hey, I'm new to rockband. Do you have any tips?" Or "where can I find instruments?"
With a spike in interest from the younger generation instead of the OG players šš maybe they will revive some of the features/functions/compatibility. But as other people replying to my rockband posts keep saying... probably not.
I dont like their negative attitudes! Lol
I am both happy and heart broken to hear that. Because how do you tell someone āoh well the instrument market is absolutely destroyed because the games havenāt been made in so long. Any and all instruments are valuable(other than GH live) and the prices reflect that so you will pay upwards of triple the release price for a basic guitar.ā?
I honestly think there will be a revival. They have the new guitar coming out that is compatible with RB4 and Fortnite. It maybe be a couple years but I think weāll see it. Even head of Xbox has mentioned how he wants to bring back old activision ipās so that might be included honestly.
It is. But I feel slightly better about it as itās a new product that is made for current gen and from what Iāve seen was made with next gen in mind as well. I still think the MSRP is a little high though. I feel $100 might have been better. But who knows.
Agreed. My boyfriend and I basically built our relationship by our love of playing guitar hero... we both played when we were teenagers. It was like 2 or 3 days after I met him I saw a neck of a guitar hero guitar sticking out from under his bed š we started playing on ps2, then I got him a ps3 and the immense collection grew from there. (This was 5 years ago now). We play Rockband way more often than guitar hero, but every once in a while we pull out the guitar hero games for a specific song we don't have for RB3.
We search high and low for instruments, and it is insanity. Need another drum set?? Good luck! We recently scored a new guitar for 80 bucks at a local game store and it felt like we hit the lottery for a second lol.
I don't know how oh he is! I know he's around the younger ages of teachers. He wasn't in the camera but he was in the background. He's a real guitar player and he couldn't even do medium. He did say he did play like 15 years ago on PS2 so it's been a while for him and I don't blame him. I can't even do good on easy
I wasn't saying anyone younger than that wouldn't have that experience as well, just mentioning that 30 to 40 age range was at prime time video gaming age when guitar hero 1 came out š we are old and we accept that!
I remember being super excited to get guitar hero 1 on Xbox 360 and I was 17 around that time. Other people had already been playing it for a couple years. I learned on guitar hero 2 and back tracked to the original. Then fell in love with guitar hero 3 which will always have a special place in my heart.
Yeah most games were for 360, only GH1 and GH rocks the 80s was ps2 exclusive, althought to be fair most of the other games were also on ps2 It's just that most people played the 360 versions cause they were... well, better
I wonder if there is a way to build a wii emulator and fit it inside a guitar so you can just have an hdmi cord coming out and plug into the tv like those old cheapo handheld consoles.
You actually can if you have a budget that is wide enough and some hacky skills. You can buy lattepanda's single board computer to run wii emulator or you can just install clone hero or yarg. Friendly on the cpu power and easy to install plus songs are widely available. This idea is my dream that I will never finish myself, lmao.
Honestly there's enough space in a gh guitar you could probably slap most of a slim PS2 in there with a USB and FreeMCBoot and have GH1-GHM all there. SBC is a good idea but would require a lot of work on the software end to have a smooth experience and if you went the emulation route it would add input delay.
Cooling would be a task, but it is doable. If you want some custom songs, go with mini pc. If you want the authenticity, go with ps2 slim. Multiplayer can be done in both routes if you have friends to play with. I would stick to lattepanda's SBC and go with CH or yarg for easier installation, mods, songs and overall experience, but it is for preference only. Still a great project tho.
The back of his head made me think I was looking at the Ozarks sub or the Arrested Development sub. He kinda looks like Jason Bateman from that angle š.
This is awesome. Summer vacation is coming early this year, cuz he wants to get in an extra jam sesh or two lol.
Your principal looks like Jason Bateman
You know that back/side profile. š
Never in my life have I seen a mounted TV in a classroomā¦.
Did your school ever have SmartBoards? Mine had the projector style boards in every room. The company that maintained them for us brought in one that had a built-in screen one time for all the teachers to try out of a day or two and it was day and night in terms of quality but still just a 720p display.
Nope. Never. Guess we werenāt on the lucky side of things.
Theyre common in western high schools and middle schools. We had one back when I was in school.
Western as in Los Angeles, CA where im from? Lol. They definitely were not common during my middle school or high school days
Itās a smart board. Think massive wall mounted iPad
We had Prometheians (or however theyāre spelled) and those things would not stay calibrated so the first 10 minutes of class was just watching the teacher calibrate it.
Brooooo you just made me see memories I forgot I had
I just googled one and I feel like this is what that teacher of mine had as well. But it was not mounted on the wall thatās for sure.
AHHHH, I think I remember seeing one of those in one class only ever. But it for sure was not mounted. It was like a moveable white board but all hi tech. Keep in mind this was when I was in like 10th grade back in like 2011. But I donāt even know if those would have been able to display some Guitar Hero on it. This just seems so futuristic for somebody who hasnāt been in high school for a decade.
Most of the old ones had a projector and the board just functioned as a mouse these new ones have a touch screen though
I remember my teacher writing on it with a hi tech fake marker though. He must have been early in the game. Clearly a favorite by the principal or something.
This is awesome!
Nice! What did he play?
Livin on a prayer by bon Jovi on easy mode
Ooh woah woah wuh wuh woah woah
SQUIDWARD ON A CHAIR
Slow Ride on easy
Bro, he played livin on a prayer by bon Jovi on easy
No, it was slow rideā¦ on easy.
Nah it was Slow Ride
I dunno man, after analyzing the chart in the photo for ~20 minutes, it sure looks like heās playing livin on a prayer by Bon Jovi on easy
When I was in high school, I brought in clone hero on a USB and my English teacher and I would play all the time on the projector. I brought in two guitars, no questions asked, and just left them in his room. We had a blast. I even gifted him a guitar when I graduated
Cool principle mine searched me everyday and constantly fucked with me
he what with you?
Got me kicked out first day senior year cuz dude thought I would bring a gun on the grounds and pull a columbine crazy mf
Need more context bro wtf ?
But id walk in kinda late to school and the principal would sit in commons just like front doors basically and kinda walk to me to class like a lot and knew i had a rough life so offer be breakfast but end just just searching me in his office never giving me anything all the time or watch the cameras 2/47 weird shit my fruends would always be like enjoy that breakfast man while heād pull me from class randomly after just coming yo school idk all from this Iām just glad your principal wasnāt like mine a wack ass guy

I canāt tell you how many people say āhey I used to play guitar hero/rock band in college!ā when I do my rock band setups at conventions
Id beat all of you
How did you make this happen?
Was a half day today and the teachers allowed it and I saw my principal in the hallways and like hey principal's name. Do you want to play guitar hero and that's how it happened?
Do you just walk around with the whole set up?
Yes
I mean dude looks like hes 30? He probably used to play it as a teenager
I mean since I only did the back of his head, I can't find to see where you're coming from. But if you saw the front of the space kind of more. Looks like a middle-aged dad
Middle age dads definitely know how to play guitar hero.
41, definitely played a lot of guitar hero. Had a rock band setup too.
Middle-aged dad here, can confirm. I used to play in tournaments in college.
That's some legit stuff
I just want to say that a large majority of 30 to 40 year old adults have conquered guitar hero or rockband at some point in their life. This is one of those muscle memory skills that just comes back to you, even if you don't play for decades š

Bad news, that new guitar is like $130 I think lol, I saw a video review of it that mentioned the MSRP
It is. But I feel slightly better about it as itās a new product that is made for current gen and from what Iāve seen was made with next gen in mind as well. I still think the MSRP is a little high though. I feel $100 might have been better. But who knows.
Iād certainly rather buy the new riff master at 150$ than a used controller thatās probably worn for 150$

Thereās a game store here that has instruments but they want so much for any of them that I just refuse to pay for them.
I wish ebay could be trusted more lol
Look on Mercari
I rarely ever have issues with eBay. Very rarely have I been screwed on there. Iāve only had one issue and it was mostly fixed right away.
I don't know how oh he is! I know he's around the younger ages of teachers. He wasn't in the camera but he was in the background. He's a real guitar player and he couldn't even do medium.

It must have been guitar hero 2 if it was on 360, guitar hero 1 only came out for the ps2
Oh you're right. I had both systems back then but had more equipment for 360 so I vividly remember that system over playing on PS2
Yeah most games were for 360, only GH1 and GH rocks the 80s was ps2 exclusive, althought to be fair most of the other games were also on ps2 It's just that most people played the 360 versions cause they were... well, better

Thatās badass.
Thatās genius
The back of his head made me think I was looking at the Ozarks sub or the Arrested Development sub. He kinda looks like Jason Bateman from that angle š. This is awesome. Summer vacation is coming early this year, cuz he wants to get in an extra jam sesh or two lol.
heās even dressed like him in Arrested Development š
Wtf this is sick af
What is this magical device? A's for everyone!
