My brother in law called me at 7am this morning, said he was at Superstore and they had one Rock Band left for the Wii, did I want it? Ummm, sure? I have lots of friends that love it so it must be good right?

HOLY SHIT, NO!

Just about every piece of the in-game user interface is absolutely horrible, on its own, but especially compared to Guitar Hero III.

I'm too tired from a long day of sports, meetings, gatherings and Rock Band to get into detail right now, but this is a warning to my Wii-loving friends, keep your money!

If I find the time and energy, I'll expand on my claims of UI sucktitude, but I think to really do it justice you need pictures, and that would be really time-consuming to produce, so I'm not sure that'll happen any time soon.

I got in touch with the right person at UVic, and they had a programmer(?) fix my status in the Banner system. I'm finally registered in my classes for next year. (Thank goodness)

The provision on my admission has been removed, but due to a bug in UVic's new school information system (Banner), I was not given a registration ticket when the last provision was removed, and I'm still not able to register in classes.

Unfortunately the person I spoke to on the phone did not know how to or was not authorized to fix this problem so I had to leave a lengthy voice mail with someone and write them an email.

So now I'm in this limbo state where I'm admitted but still unable to register and unsure when this will be fixed.

Sigh.
