    Ooh, wonder if it'll have the big rock ending from Guitar Hero II for Them Bones.

    Oh brilliant

    Is the cutoff for promotion still the 80th percentile?

    PAPS4 is sitting at 82% right now and I'm not sure if we need to grind out some more songs tonight to be safe.

    No DLC this week. Apparently they were going to try something new but clearances couldn't be gotten in time so whatever it was has been pushed back.

    I worry that Dropmix was a real drain on their resources. It seems a super niche product even by Harmonix standards.

    It's a product that seems to still be getting sent to retailers despite officially having been released weeks ago. I think how it performs during this holiday season is going to be the make or break for it - and that's going to depend on Hasbro actually buying ad time for it.

    I plan on picking it up when I get a chance

    I mean, it's probably going to end up just being a neat party trick rather than something I dive deep into but eh I feel like I owe Harmonix for the literally thousands of hours of entertainment they've provided to me.

    Man it’s bad but I’m actually used to MJF take on Johnny B. Goode. It’s the first one I did listen to.

    I'm very curious to see that roadmap, especially since they've just laid off more people at Harmonix, including one of the main community managers. I still greatly enjoy the game, but I'm constantly expecting support to wind down, which would be a shame.

    @Thirith I kinda expect this too. Then again, man I’m happy with all the DLC we have. If anything I wish they’d expand on the season/challenge rewards. And have Matchmaking again.

    The fact that they seem to have abandoned the annual expansion angle they were playing up when Rivals came out last year really worries me.

    Seems to be “Slow Ride” and “Play That Funky Music.” Seems to be the radio edit of Slow Ride.

    Edit: Week 2 is “Bad Reputation” and “Blister in The Sun.”

    I played drums last night for the first time in like 5-6 months. It was very fun. I might play again tonight. Not sure how frequently I will be able to play in the future, but hopefully I can hop on a little more frequently now

    Welcome back to the fold!

    With a competent drummer (I could fill the void if my fucking arthritic ankle wasn't in such pain), even if it just sporadic we have a real shot at Bloodstone this season.

    So one decade per week in this Rivals season, then?

    I won a drawing for a Super Beat Sports code and while I've only had a chance to play like 30 mins of it, its fun.

    Is ir just me or the 70s challenge was a bit...limited? Hopefully this week’s challenge will have a lot more songs available.

    It had a wealth of choice if you had the AC/DC track pack :P

    Oh right I didn’t download the whole pack. Man I wish we could get RB2’s Let There Be Rock instead of the live version. I really can’t sing that one no matter how hard I try.

    I played Burnin For You a bunch last night, and I don’t know how I got the high score I did the first day I played it.

    Is there a good resource where people talk about optimal overdrive spots or something?

    This new approach to Crews is going to be a net negative for Move Minor Standard, I think. I'm pretty sure we're going up against a bunch of fully staffed 10 person crews.

    On the plus side, Blister in the Sun, from the Grosse Point Blank soundtrack!

    Yep. To stand a chance, we need to have everyone playing, and we only have 3-4 actives a week.

    I suppose we could trim 3-4 people off the roster and try and get some fresh, active players in by making the crew open.

    I'm always good for doing the spotlight songs on guitar/bass, but I don't always have the time to grind XP on every challenge.

    Yeah, I tried to play some songs just now but #parenting. I'll try to do some songs tonight.
