TCW Podcast Episode 252 - A Guitar Hero The rise and fall of the Guitar Hero franchise and the rhythm game craze of the mid to late 2000s. Red Octane got its start making Dance Dance Revolution pads, but a partnership with Harmonix Music Systems, a studio building technology that let people interact with music without learning an instrument, led to the creation of Guitar Hero. Major retailers refused to carry it until Best Buy set up in-store demo units that sent sales skyrocketing, and Red Octane could barely keep up with demand. The franchise's success drew corporate attention: Activision acquired Red Octane, MTV Networks acquired Harmonix, and a lingering dispute between Activision and Viacom over the Star Trek license split the partnership in two, giving Activision Guitar Hero and Harmonix Rock Band. Both landed blockbuster bands from Aerosmith to the Beatles, but an endless flood of sequels and add-ons saturated the market, and what once felt like a cultural phenomenon burned out almost as fast as it arrived.

Lords: Josette https://www.josetteseitz.com/ https://www.instagram.com/jo_seitz/ Daniel Topics: The overlap between musicians and rhythm game players Figure Skating and the upcoming Olympics In this short Life that only lasts an hour by Emily Dickinson https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/56456/in-this-short-life-that-only-lasts-an-hour-1292 The Reality of Hope https://www.therealityofhope.co.uk Is time travel media really that bad? Microtopics: 3D art spaces and the Virtual Burning Man experience. What were we talking about at lunch? The new kind of Christmas light that's reminiscent of the old kind of Christmas light. A nice soft blue. The LED lights that hurt the most. Mounting recessed lights in the eaves and lighting them up with the worst gamer RGB patterns. Beige keyboards with three green LEDs on them that you can animate because they're memory-mapped. Paradiddle. Learning to play drums in VR. Paradiddle for Snapchat Glasses. Video game audio latency vs. digital synthesizer latency. The Bemani guitar game that inspired Guitar Hero. Guitar Freaks vs. Guitar Hero as a case study in how the same idea can be executed very differently getting very different results How singing is scored in Rock Band. Finding new music via the Rock Band games. Beat Saber Library Managers. Solid beams of light. Ice Dancing. Whether you can train rhythm. Brother-sister ice skating couples. Which animals can learn rhythm. Representing your ice rink. What to do after you've spent your life training but what you were training for didn't work out? Ice skater unions. Going to the Olympics with your mom to watch the figure skating. Alysa Liu. Meeting America's Princess and she's not a nice lady. Finding the right coach at age 7. Sports therapists. The disposition to perform your best under pressure. Exercising and practicing at the expense of nearly everything else you could be doing with your time. What to do with your life now that you're no longer spending all your time training for the Olympics. Missing your friend's 11th birthday party because you're busy training for the Olympics. Giving seven year olds a test to see if they do well under pressure and if not, telling their parents not to try to get this one into the Olympics. Grit. What boot camp is for. Training to be the best person in the world at field stripping a rifle. Still living this life, which is great. Still being responsible for other people's taxes. Looking forward to the new year because it's tax time. How your life might've been different if your parents insisted you go to college. We've got learning at home but we don't have socialization at home. Studying how to study without knowing how to study. Passing the classes you were interested in at that moment and not doing so well in the test. Two friends in the furry community. Telling your friend about your medical condition in VR Chat. A documentary about kidney transplants in the furry community. Damn, That's a Good Kidney! Filming a documentary in VR Chat. What normal people think about time travel fiction. Yes, you have to use your hands, and yes it's like a baby's toy. Reading a piece of fiction because you're hoping to have a good time. Which time-travel movies have reached the heights of popular culture. Having this 360-degree camera just sitting around and trying to figure out what movie to make with it.

Rhythm in video games has been around since before there was even the technical capabilities for decent music. The last decade saw a surge in this genre, followed by a precipitous crash. Sean and Vinnk talk about their respective introductions to the rhythm game genre, where it's lead them, and what they've been playing lately despite the digger the genre has since taken.

What companies or individuals make games that you will buy just because their name is on it? Vinnk and Sean examine the perils and the pitfalls of Developer Worship, and wonder aloud if there's really anything our favorite personalites and companies can do to make us hate them. We list some of our favorites: Harmonix, Square and Enix (before they were one company), BioWare, Shigeru Miyamoto, Hideo Kojima, Grasshopper Manufacture and Suda 51 and more!
