Okay, so, I've been playing drums for about half a year, and I want to start a band!

I have this friend (he's more of an acquaintance

) that plays guitar, and he also wants to start a band. Problem is, he's kind of a jack ass and he picks on kids and shit (I'm not that way, I'm a nice kid/bully stander-upper
tongue.gif
). He's quite good, but thinks he's a know it all with music.

He asked me the other night to go to an "Open Mic Night" with him and play a couple songs in a few days. I hadn't even played any of the songs he told me we were going to play. I told him "Nah, got lots of homework and It's a School Night".

I kinda wanted to be in a band with him, but now I REALLY don't. What should I tell him? Or should I just suck it up and be with him?

I know another kid that plays guitar that's nice and would want to play with me, so finding another person isn't really a prob. Unfortunately, I don't know any bass players (besides my best friend, but he's already in a band

), but I guess I'm on my own with this one

.

I told him in the past "I don't think I'm ready, maybe after the New Year" and he FREAKED! He was like "What the hell is that suppose to mean?!

. That's a dumb reason!".

I don't know what to do

Throw a drum stick in his eye.

Nah seriously just tell him you'd rather not play with him any more, tell him it's not working out and then sneak off with your new guitarist.

    VR is like 3D TVs in my opinion it's cool and all but it doesn't have enough great content.

    VR had the chance to integrate with existing games and tech but VR companies said "NO, I WANT MY SHIT TO BE STANDALONE AND MY GAMES EXCLUSIVE TO FACEBOOK"

    Back when Oculus Rift was still starting out and being demoed around, they modded existing games to use it as a 360° immersive screen thing and that was AMAZING.

    The tech isn't there for affordable power enough VR headsets at a good market value yet sadly, oculus had a good idea but didn't have enough funds for marketing iirc

    But now it's "can I use my VR set with my racing games, that would be neat?" "ONLY IF YOU USE OUR DILDOSTICK CONTROLLERS AND RUN THE GAME ON OUR ANDROID-UNDERPOWERED BRICK"

  • Veho @ Veho:
    The tech to have quality VR goggles at an affordable price is here, but every set has to have 4 additional controllers and be standalone.

    These are the same type of gamers that spend $2,000 on a GPU when a $600 GPU gives nearly the same outcome which is what the market looks at for them to do spend more on unneeded bs

    If we're talking AAA titles a vr headset would be priced at nearly the same cost as a midrange gaming pc maybe even double

    I think they should bring back the shutter glasses for VR put 120Hz screen in for 60FPS and even a basic phone these days can pull that off

    Head tracking cameras and all
