Overheard@E3: "You pulled a Peter Moore!"

oops.

looks like a small oversight on the guitar design.

I thought thats what was said when you shit your pants, or have to take a duke. "Aw man, I just peter moored in my pants." or "I need to go take a peter and wipe my moore."

Sounds like real news to me.

NEXT...Joystiq's E3 coverage continues with these exclusive stories: "I Just Flushed A Big One" and "Where Did I Park The Rental"

So do they have time to redesign the thing before release?

Something I thought when PM paused the game at the conference. Not the first time I seen this happening, surely a design flaw they need to sort out.

I'm surprised no one noticed such a game breaking bad flaw this far along. Hopefully they can redesign the guitar entirely before its released. Otherwise this is probably enough to sink it.

The guitar is probably flawed, but I remember when a lot of people kept hitting the guide button when they were using the XBOX 360 controller. Eventually it stopped happening because they got used to the layout.

As far as Peter Moore's "mishap" I've seen demostrators use this tactic before, where they'd pause the game to prove that they were actually playing a build of the game and not just pretending to play. I believe Peter Moore did this on purpose.

Take a guess.... how many time will it take for the Rock band devs to say "Pulling a Peter Moore." before they realise they've fooked up the controller?

Can you use the guitar from guitar hero with rock band and vice versa?

I see a special zero-point Achievement in the works!

Peter Moore hasn't been the only one to pull a "Peter Moore" - anyone see that other Rock Band video?

Like someone else has said, it sounds like there is a flaw in the design of the guitar if it is so easy to accidentally pause the game while playing.

Whoa, hold up, you know it is entirely possible that it isn't a design flaw and is just something that happens with inexperienced players. Believe it or not but people have managed to pause GH2 at my house with freaking recessed buttons, so maybe we should assume that harmonix maybe hasn't made such an obvious mistake and that with their years of experience they might know what they are doing...

I don't think it is a flaw in the Rock Band controller. Mr. Moore looked pretty awkward playing onstage. He looked like...a N00B! He was hitting the pause button because he just didn't know how to play.

When I would try to get my friends to play Guitar Hero, every single one of my non-gaming friends would accidentally pause the game while trying to play I Love Rock and Roll, or one of the other sucky easy songs.

One last dumb story: I have this one friend who always forgets that she needs to press start to begin a game. So whenever I'm playing with someone, and they forget to press start on their controller, I tell them to stop pulling a Trish.

I bet Peter Moore pulls a lot of Peter Moore.

Other figures of speech:
To shiggy a presentation, having high expectations only to be letdown.

Committing a kojima-san, to express a japanese thought in barely recognizable english with little reception.

They are said to be already working on a software fix for this problem, so I guess they will change it so that the button must be held down for slighty longer, so as to avoid accidental pausing.
