Dude that is SO METAL.
I originally saw GH in the EBGames demo station, and paid it no more mind until GH2 was being advertised EVERYWHERE. Then I got severely interested after watching some videos of really good people playing GH, and wanted to get GH2. Then I mourned the fact that the series was (then) exclusive to PlayStation, as I have sworn on the Book of Adams never to own a Sony gaming product. Then I figured, "Well the second game is coming out so someone MUST have emulated it for the PC by now..." and found FoF in a Google search. Since then I have surpassed my original YouTube inspiration and turned 6 people into FoF addicts.
I was at the Assembly Lan party(in Finland) where was FOF first release. There was "new games" competition where every lan gamer can vote for some game. I voted FOF of cource :p . Every game show they own demo video. FOF demo video is same what is in home page. First there is Jurgen and then twihmpg song with 99%. FOF wins the competition with 4000+ votes(what I remember, it could be 3000+). And I remember when I sucked
. I was very happy if get 40k in Bang Bang in easy :laugh: . So here is my story 


I had never heard of Guitar Hero or any other guitar clones.. nor really ever knew that this kind of thing existed (other than those arcade machine ones).. I don't own a PS2/Xbox.
Was at a friend's place (small Lan) and he showed me FOF.. I thought the game was crap, it only had 3 songs and the one I was shown did absolutely nothing for me... I didn't bother having a go myself at it nor was I aware that extra songs could be added
Then about 1 wk later I was bored, and decided to download/try it out.. to my surprise I really enjoyed those 3 songs and played them over and over and over... then I discovered (through google) that FOF allows custom made songs to be added! Then I discovered this forum, discovered how to make my own songs and it kind of snowballed from there.. - I still don't own a Ps2/Xbox... but have the GH controller

An online friend of mine kept mentioning it to me and posted about it at BME studioz community, saying how it was such a cool game that was like guitar hero (the first time I'd ever heard about such a thing). After about a month of ignoring him I finally downloaded the game at school (they have high-speed, alas) and it was awesome. So I played it, downloaded some songs, then joined the FoFFF
I colored the orange fret in my RockBand Theme MAGENTA.

I found it mentioned in an article on instructables.com, and shortly after found this forum.
Goodbye everyone. It's been fun. I spent many many hours here on these boards and playing/contributing to FoF. Today I uninstalled my game and deleted all my files. I just don't have the time or interest anymore. I won't be coming back here anymore. I might show up in the IRC from time to time to chat. I regret nothing.
So long, farewell.
