    and back to rock band related, when your best announced christmas song is by the barenaked ladies you're doing it wrong =/

    You can go die in a fire.

    Although, I would probably have picked Elf's Lament(would've been more fun on drums and vocals) or Green Christmas, but this'll do great.

    Be happy they didn't some crap like "Do They Know It's Christmas?" from ANYONE.

    I don't think he was slagging on BNL...

    He's slagging on both, but mostly on Harmonix.

    I'm largely indifferent about the selected songs. Though I do hope this leads to more 'real' BNL later on.
    I actually don't mind most of BNL's stuff, but I've always hated barenaked for the holidays, it just lacks the ...I dunno..personality I suppose their other albums have. They try, but it just falls short.

    Kinda off topic, but I remembering seeing the Rock Band Stage Kit and laughing at the concept. It just seemed stupid.


    But I decided to do some research on it anyway, because I thought it could spice up some of our common Rock Band parties and holy fucking shit.


    Note this is with like 4 stage kits connected to each other but. Goddamnit. I need this.

    That looks so unnecessary, yet if I had money to burn (and it would take a lot) I would get that just to make playing the game so over the top.

    That is so patently ridiculous that I MUST HAVE IT

    Playing the drums on Rock Band 2 has led me to a horrific self-truth: I have no rhythm. My hands are fine, but whenever my foot gets called into action... yeah, bad times.

    Just bought the Going Country pack based solely on two things:

    1) I saw the Sin Wagon notechart
    2) Someone said the country pack actually has good guitar all-around
    3) If Sin Wagon is part of said all-around good guitar, then that person must not be talking out their ass

    Can't wait to try it out in the morning.

    Replaying Guitar Hero II made me realize how much Rock Band needs some Dethklok. I mean I can only hope for Dethalbum as DLC. But seriously. This entire song please.

    Every birthday of my friends will be celebrated by playing this song.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8npI0Xe2wi4

    The lyrics alone make it awesome. The opening vocal lyrics, how can you not want to "sing" that? This would be like if Visions was actually fun.

    (ideal) HIMYM 3 Pack:

    Let's Go to the Mall - Robin Sparkles
    Sandcastles in the Sand - Robin Sparkles
    Murder Train - The Foreskins

    That would get serious playtime around here...

    You might be able to pricematch at a Best Buy or other big box store. Toysrus.com also has them for that price, but I don't know if it's the same price in-store or not.

    I already know it's a no-go on pricematching, stores around here will only match Omaha stores.

    Circuit City left here a long time ago because they decided to build right next to Nebraska Furniture Mart and got violated.

    The Let's Go To The Mall, the Cock-a-mouse, the slutty pumpkin and slap bet episodes are four of the all-time funniest things ever taped before a live studio audience. Or a fake one with a laugh track. Whatever. Those are some of the greatest half hours of comedy ever written and performed.

    Not to spoil your intentions but this video is not the $99 Rock Band stage kit. This is a bunch of professional DJ lighting systems using sound activation.

    The RB stage kit is a static LED array, it does not have motors or any kind of light patterns like this video shows.

    That being said, I originally thought the idea was stupid, but now, I'd never consider having a bunch of people over playing Rock Band without it.

    hmmmm, remember like 9 months ago when all of those songs were leaked by pulling some info out of files in the DLC? and there was a song named DOA and everyone thought it was the foo fighters song? Then they released that other DOA song in the thrash pack?

    clearly harmonix will go to great lengths to decieve and confuse us regarding upcoming, unannounced DLC.
