I've already gone beyond the pale on my unnecessary-but-awesome purchases for Rock Band, though now that I've done it I consider the RB2 drums very, very necessary. Still, my wife rolled her eyes when I came home with the Fender P-Bass and said, "What, another guitar?"
I was going to describe how the other Gibsons were for the PS2, the Xplorer and old RB1 drum kit were being donated to a friend and how I planned on selling my Donkey Konga setup eventually, but I didn't think that was going to help my case at all.
Yeah there's a YouTube video somewhere of some guys hooking up something like 4 of them and playing "The Hand That Feeds" I think.
I dont know if it's possible to daisy chain anything but the light, but that would be more than enough. Basically the fog machine (with fog juice!) plugs into the wall, then with one of those old school computer mouse style inputs (pins, I dont know the technical term), you plug the light into the fog machine. Then the light to the XBox.
So I guess you could just keep plugging a light into a light into a light, but since every light acts as a controller (since it uses a USB slot, they let it double as the controller a vocalist would need - it has a d-pad, the buttons and the XBox Live button), I have no idea how the game would see that many lights.
The amount of smoke it makes for playing in your living room is insane. I shut the fog part off after one song (they have 2 switches - fog and lights) partly because I want to save it for this weekend's party, and partly because I couldn't see the TV anymore, haha. It makes a TON, but it looks so so so awesome.
I then dropped the light, and heard a rattle inside, so I was afraid I broke an LED. I started a song, and was immediately blinded, so even if I broke ONE LED, this thing can take a fall and still stay very very cool.
Ill post a more complete review after this weekend, when I play it drunk, in the dark, and with a full band.

And here's the Wii DLC! Announced on Friday with the other DLC! Woo!
This week Wii Rockers can expect the following tracks from The Cars.
Good Times Roll
My Best Friend's Girl
In In Touch With Your World
Don't Cha Stop
You're All I've Got Tonight
Bye Bye Love
Moving In Stereo
All Mixed Up
All tracks are masters and will be the standard 200 Wii points each.
I myself am beginning to wonder when the Wii will start seeing new releases.
Starting to play GTA4 again because of Lost & Damned has convinced me Rock Band needs The Rapture - No Sex For Ben. It would be boring as fuck for guitar, but fuck ya'll guitarists, best vocals ever.

Somebody should do some math and figure out how soon they can run out of back catalog if they release at the same pace. It's like the 500 songs thing all over again!
Is there some kind of limit that Nintendo imposes on the number of DLC allowed? Somebody on the RB Forums correctly predicted the Cars album would be released missing one song. It seems odd...
I don't think HMX is in a good PR position on this.
The song it's missing is Just What I Needed, which is on Track Pack Vol 2
Oh... Still, they did say that by February they'd be releasing new tracks with the old. The next DLC will be in March. So I still wonder if Nintendo has a limit or something. Or is HMX that backed up with all the old DLC and is the process for conversion to the Wii really that complicated?
Well, in theory the MIDIs would be the same or very similiar. Most of the work would be certifying that the song doesn't break RB2Wii and then Nintendo's cert time on each of the tracks. Plus if the same team that does new tracks does the old, they probably did a bunch of old ones first (since they know how those songs are supposed to work) in their first batch, and the new ones aren't probably going to come until their second batch of work.
The song it's missing is Just What I Needed, which is already available as DLC
fix't
And yeah this is pretty gay. There was a post somewhere by HMXHenry promising new release DLC on Wii in February. Next week is the last week of February and all I get is Ric Ocasek.
I really want the Jimmy Eat World songs, too

I woke up this morning to my radio playing 'One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer' by George Thorogood. I got in at about the 2 minute mark and I stayed in bed listening to it until it was over six minutes later.
I know the bass and drums would be boring as hell, but the guitar and vocals would be fun as hell.
Thats very nice of them to donate $50,000 to them but i dont think rock band kits are a good gift to give to them. They need food and water. I dont really think sick kids need to be playing rock band
Well I don't wanna look at it this way, but they are Rock Band 1 kits which they probably have in excess stock and with the shitty equipment probably won't sell.
A little less charity and a little more releasing your damn games on time would be nice.
I dont give a crap how many sick kids get it for free, I want to be able to PAY for the damn things.

You say this, but it'll really just turn into an extended version of Bad to the Bone and everybody will bitch about it being too boring and a strumfest or something. And they'll have probably still not released Texas Flood and they should've just released the Metallica songs, etc...

That whole forum has to be a joke. Or a vast social experiment to see how the rest of the internet reacts to immense amounts of ignorance and stupidity. There's just no way it's real.

Maybe they are trying to compete with the official Rock Band forums for the title of dumbest forum in the land.

Fix'd. And for the record: Nobody can beat the original. Nobody. ScoreHero just leads in the Elite Douche to Regular Douche ratio by suggesting that sick kids aren't worthy of playing their game.

Official game forums have a tendency to be especially terrible if it's a popular game.
The Bethesda forums, as incredibly awesome as they are for cataloging so much info about the game and mods, get downright terrible to read around the lunch of any of their games.

Fail.
Steam Support is the worst. Seriously, the worst
well, you can add me (thought I asked to be added before) and it'll make 3 people >.>;; psn name is the same as the forum one.

They'd have to be releasing multiple weeks of content to catch up, otherwise, they'll always be a year and a half (?) behind.
