Pre-Guitar Hero
My real name is Mike and I live in Waynesboro, Virginia. I'm 26 years old and live with my Wife, dog, and two cats. I've been going by the handle IWillKickU⇒ since 2001 when I spent as much time on battle.net playing Diablo II as I do now on ScoreHero. When I moved on from Diablo, I kept the handle for the rest of my adventures in the video gaming world. My first video gaming love was Final Fantasy. I played Final Fantasy I way back in the NES days, but never beat it until I was a little older and understood RPGs better. I played the crap out of Final Fantasy IV and VI in the SNES days and did all sorts of rediculous speed runs and single player challenges, etc... After that, I spent a brief period trying to convince myself that the N64 was worthwhile, but when Final Fantasy jumped to Sony, so did I. When I got my Playstation, I discovered that there was another video game franchise worth playing. Enter Tony Hawk. I spent my PS1 years dominating various Final Fantasy titles, and TH1 and 2. Then my video game career entered a dark period when I went to college, and was console-less. I HAD TO PLAY PC GAMES!!! PC was spent mostly on Diablo II, although I did take a brief hiatus to play through GTA III and Vice City. Eventually I reverted back to NES and SNES via emulators, because PC gaming blows as hard as your 5-year-old laptop does... When I came home from college, I bought myself a shiny new PS2, and proceded to replay my FF games, get all the Tony Hawks that came out while I was away, and replay the GTA series, along with San Andreas. Finally, I saved up enough paypal dollars to purchase Guitar Hero II.I was in love
Guitar Hero was AWESOME!!! I played through the easy and medium careers very quickly, but had a hell of a time adjusting to hard. It took me WAAAAY too long to beat hard, and I had started (and got stuck) on expert too. I had hit a wall, and just really wasn't feeling the GH anymore. Finally, I stumbled upon ScoreHero from www.gamefaqs.com (I really don't recommend that you click that link) and registered in December of '07, although didn't even touch the forums. You see, the good people (sic) of Gamefaqs warned me that if I posted on the ScoreHero forums, there was a 99% chance that I would be banned immediately for no good reason. ScoreHero was a bunch of elitist hard-asses who don't want to have fun and were just obsessed with plastic guitars. SOUNDS LIKE MY KINDA PLACE, miright?
IWillKickU⇒ on ScoreHero
Anyhoo, once I got to know Scorehero I came out of Lurking status and made My first post∞ (a real beauty right? >_>). Scorehero got me back into GH, and gave me the motivation to finally beat Hard, and even Expert. Since then, it's been a roller coaster. I quickly established myself as a "hardware guy" and helped a lot of n00bs by regurgitating information that I read here on Scorehero. I made it a point to be as helpful as possible in the Hardware section, and even wrote a guide that got a sticky! Once I had been stickied, I figured that I was important enough to the SH community, that I could post whatever I wanted where ever I wanted whenever I wanted. I was wrong. I was (deservedly) Perma-Rockered in March '08 for posting excessive useless posts that I thought were funny (evidently the site staff didn't share my humor!). For seven aweful days, my GuitarLegend rank was replaced with Rocker. I didn't bitch and cry when I got perma-rockered. I just cut my useless posts completely and retreated to sections of the sight where people new and respected me, and returned to my useful ways. After a week, I had my title back, but I didn't return to my old obnoxious ways. Since being perma-rockered, I've gotten a much better understanding of what is a good post and what is not. I do my best now to post well, and it's payed off. I was even the recipient of the prestigeous EWiggen's Poster of the Week Award! Here's some of the other ways that I think I've been a benefit to the community:IWillKickU⇒'s Awesome threads of Awesomeness
Some of my best topics from the Scorehero forums are:Official Controller Compatibility Guide.∞ - So helpful, it got a sticky! Now in wiki form: Controller Compatibility.
The Guitar Hero Weekly Top 10∞ - Billboard style, for your historical data tracking pleasure.
Gamertag registry for non-GH/RB games∞ - Play other games on XBL with Scoreheroers.
PS2 Kramer Neck Hardwiring Guide∞ - Complete with pictures of puppies and kitties!!!
I concieved of The GH Accomplishment Timeline∞, but didn't have the time to upkeep that thread along with the others that I already was maintaining, so Gotsmack ran with the idea and did a far better job than I EVER imagined myself doing with it.
I created almost all of the wiki-pages for Rock Band DLC track packs, and cross referenced them with thier song pages, along with some other useful wikipages.
I also am on the ScoreHero League planning commitee, and have access to the super secret ScoreHero leagues pages, so if you have a good idea for the leagues, feel free to PM me on the forums or in IRC.
Other Threads of Win
The Epic Tale of the Endless Setlist∞ - If you haven't read this, you're not my friend. It's the first exploits of The Disasterbaters!My Old GH Accomplishment thread∞ - I may use this still, but not the way I have been.
My Old RB Accomplishment thread∞ - See above.
The Best Rivalry that ScoreHero has Evar Seen∞ - Maybe an exageration, but only a slight one.
Thursday Night Rock Band in Harrisonburg, VA∞ - Want to meet me IRL? Here's where you can do that.
IWillKickU⇒'s Custom Guitars
Sexy, ain't they? The one on the left was my first. I used fishnet stockings as matte/stencil to get that scale pattern. On the right, it's really much better looking in person. It's a very pale powder blue. On the pickguard I used embossing powder to get that sparkle effect. I was going for a vintage looking strat, and it turned out really well. The picture doesn't really do it justice.

Don't click on my Scores My Les Paul died today, or maybe yesterday. I can't remember which (name that book and win a cookie). I decided that the time had come to do some vox. This was the first time that I had attempted vox completely uninhebriated. I was the only one home, but I was still nervous. I got through a couple songs on Expert, and was just starting to get into it when my wife came home. And by "came home", I mean walked in on me crooning "Don't you know that you are a shooting star?! .... Don't you? ... Don't you? ... Don't you?!?..." with my eyes closed and hands in the air. Have you ever been caught masturbating by your mother? Because it kind of felt like that. I think from now on I'll take my vox nice and drunk, thank you very much! |
