Ace Starlord's Guitar Hero Rockoff II
August 23, 2007
Vancouver BC
This past Thursday saw Ace Starlord's Guitar Hero Rockoff II come to life. Hosted by the Artery.ca, Chivana Resto-Lounge and the Vancouver Chapter of the International Game Developers Association (IGDA) an ecclectic crowd of about 50 showed up to rock out with Activision's Guitar Hero "Rocks the 80's" video game.
The evening started with Ace Starlord (aka Jason Elliott) out in all his glory, stretchy pants, make up and all announcing that it's not how good you play, but how good you look playing. Everyone paired up for chances at the Pro Face Off mode and enjoying the music and atmosphere. Many other people enjoyed themselves by watching all the antics from the sofas and tables. All around you could see people smiling, talking, and meeting others on a very successful night.
That's not to say the evening was perfect. It started out with some sound problems, which were promptly fixed to the relief of everyone. While everyone wanted to rock and roll all night, the Playstation 2 wasn't quite up for it. By the half way point, the machine began to pause for a few seconds, knocking the players out of their groove. Luckily most of the crowd took it as a bit of additional amusement.
The Artery.ca, Chivana Resto-Lounge, and the IGDA Vancouver would like to say thank you to everyone who made it out. You made the evening the success that it was and we couldn't have done it without you. This is hopefully only one of many to come. Now, without further adieu, here are the photos of the evening...
