    Any members of Move Minor Standard down for some online multi and hitting the Rivals challenge, I'll be on and available for guitar/bass and/or drums tonight sometime after 9:30PM CST or all day Saturday/Sunday (PM me or hit me up on Live to work out a time).

    No matter where you go...there you are.

    I've been house/babysitting all week for my brother's family, but will be back home tomorrow and should be able to post some points. I can probably make an online time work at some point.

    Blitzed bass runs on all 3 Spotlights and guitar on Metropolis and got us just under a million points (round 980K if my math is right.).

    Nice mixture of genres and difficulty for this week's challenge list. Will definitely be playing more this weekend than the last couple.

    Ace of Spades is a song I enjoy very much. It's a song that sucks for every instrument too! Well, I suck at it anyways.

    Ugh. That means we're going to get a lot of metal songs for the next challenge, doesn't it?

    Quite possible.

    Personally, I'll try and stick with classic rock from the 70's and 80's, with just a touch of prog (Dream Theater, Rush, Yes, Kansas) this week to help out.

    I guess I won't be playing nothing but 90s rock because my blue cymbal shit the bed today.

    Black wire broke at the solder joint. Like it has on every other broken cymbal :|

    Does anyone have any experience fixing these things? I had another set re-soldered but they broke again after like two weeks. I don't want to just keep buying more. They're RB3 cymbals so they're not terribly plentiful anymore.

    I'm still miffed that I got a lemon with my PDP drums. Even if it had a 75% discount. I really don't want to play the odds and I might just quit the drums altogether.

    30% off those songs, which are apparently all theme songs from movies.

    Also, digital version of RB4 Rivals is 30% off, but only if you have an XBL Gold subscription

    Oh brilliant

    So am I reading right and there's no way to get wired peripherals to work with the xbone?

    Only the MIDI Pro Adapter via the Wired Legacy Adapter and specifically only for MIDI drumsets and ION drums.

    Apparently they wanted the wired adapter to also adapt the other wired instruments but Microsoft shot it down.

    A little over a week ago they announced more licensing expirations.
    A quick update for today. The song "Starting To Appreciate” by Tutankamon will be coming down from the Rock Band Music Store on or before March 31st. If you've already bought this tune, you'll be able to re-download this even after it's off of the storefront. If you're interested in picking up this DLC, get it now before it's gone!

    Yup. That's it.

    so just as a warning, if you get an external to expand your One's space, and you have a lot of Rock Band DLC.. might want to set aside a few hours to wait for it to finish moving files if you want to move it to the external.

    Cross-marketing is the devil.

    At least this time they're cross promoting with a game that people will actually play.

    If ME doesn't let you rock out with your omni-tool out, then RB got shafted in that deal.

    Mostly interesting for the fact they're talking to EA again

    Danger Zone! Sterling Archer Takes the Stage in Rock Band 4

    The debonair, two-dimensional super spy takes the stage to belt — what else — Danger Zone (also coming to Rock Band 4).

    Sterling Archer: secret agent turned private investigator turned… rock star? That’s right, this Thursday everyone’s favorite spy from “Archer,” the hit animated series on FXX, makes his long-awaited Rock Band debut as part of our March content update for Rock Band 4.

    “That’s awesome! But why Archer?” you may ask. Well, I’ve got two words for you: “Danger Zone.”

    When we received word that the Kenny Loggins mega-hit was coming to the Rock Band DLC Music Library, our thoughts immediately went to Archer. We’re big fans of the show. In fact, you could say that we like Archer as much as Archer likes, well, “Danger Zone”. So we reached out to the good folks at FXX and Floyd County Productions to see if they’d like to do something special for Rock Band and Archer fans and they jumped at the chance. An Archer cameo in Rock Band was happening.

    For our art team, bringing Archer into Rock Band presented a unique challenge. The Archer TV show is cel-shaded, 2D animation – completely different from Rock Band’s signature 3D style. We experimented with a couple of different approaches for how Archer might look in Rock Band, including an Archer character in the traditional Rock Band style, but ultimately decided that the best approach was one that was true to the look and feel of the FXX series, so we created a custom cel-shader in Rock Band just for this character. The end result is an Archer that looks like he was pulled straight from TV and dropped on stage. We think he looks awesome – he almost pops off the screen!

    Rock Band’s March update will be available tomorrow, March 16th. In addition to FXX’s Archer, there’s a bunch of other cool assets coming to Rock Band – like new punk outfits in the Rock Shop and a playable Normandy bass from Mass Effect – so make sure to check it out. Until then, here’s some footage of Archer singing his signature tune to hold you over.

    I posted this over in the board games thread in CF, but I think it's worth posting here as well, because people might be interested in it.

    Guys, Harmonix is making a card game.

    Yes, Harmonix, the creators of Guitar Hero and Rock Band.

    It's called Dropmix, and you play cards that contain music samples, so that while you are trying to defeat your opponent's score you are also creating a beautiful/terrifying custom mashup of popular songs.

    As a reminder, kiddos: make sure your calibrations are correct.

    I just got five stars on Bark at the Moon for the first time, ever. Including any Guitar Hero incarnations. Also, Gold Star on Feels Like the First Time. On the final note. Ding, motherfuckers!
