I finally squeaked past "Freya" on Expert in Guitar Hero 2.  What a rush!  I thought my fingers were going to fall off by the end of that really long green-orange-(yellow/blue) section, but something finally clicked enough for me to hit just enough notes to survive.  That same session I 5-starred "Tonight I'm Gonna Rock You Tonight" on Hard, which had been plaguing me for the longest time -- I now have the first 3 tiers of songs 5-starred on Hard.

The really creepy thing is now that I'm typing, my fingers keep trying to relate this muscle memory to the Guitar Hero muscle memory and play "chords" with the keyboard.  It is really kind of freaking me out...

BTW, I got a sneak peek at the Halo Wars E3 demo on Friday -- the HW team has really been cranking on it and they called the whole company together in the ES theater to check it out.  I was totally blown away by it, easily the best E3 demo we've ever put together here at Ensemble.  That team has really been putting some fine touches on that baby and all the TLC realy shows.  I'm quite looking forward to seeing how the press reacts in a few weeks (or whenever it is that the "new" E3 is...)
