TO-DO LIST: ROCK BAND EDITION
Hey, it’s that guy who looks like Dwight Schrute, only with rimless glasses! And he’s got the to-do list column up at the Sporting News, which mentions among all the football-related content the fact that we’ll be playing shit-tons of the game Rock Band this weekend. If the downloads are available, we’ll celebrate this day of thanks with a rousing family rendition of “Blackened” by Metallica.
If you think this is gay, fine. We’re hot-pant wearing knobhounds for Rock Band, if that’s the case. Thank god for the downloadable Bowie, um…package.

Some people aren’t interested in learning actual guitar technique and music theory, but they’d love to play along to their favorite songs and enjoy the challenge. Just like I assume you weren’t interested in joining your high school team, running two-a-days, spending every moment your free time practicing or lifting weight and praying that a college deigned to give you an athletic scholarship, but you still like to play NCAA Football.
Hell, in an interview in GameInformer, Slash talked about how Activision sent him a copy of Guitar Hero, and he got addicted to it. So even actual guitar legends (who have their own guitars with real strings that make noise) enjoy it.

#21: some were from the game, some were by the same artist but not in the game (example: I Remember You was in the episode, 18 And Life is the song in Rocks the ’80s). But I think that’s on purpose and agree with you: they either play it or learned enough about it to skewer it properly, like the episode on WoW. (Free Fresca? Where is this place?)
#16: Ask Joel Zumaya, although I suppose that was different. In MLB, you get paid the same on the DL and on the active roster. Also, only one shin will hurt, because there’s only one pedal. (Scaled down. Gamers can’t handle all those options.)
Rock Band is sweet. Also, scaled-down drumming is hard. The solo buttons are interesting, but I can’t yet get down there and back easily.

The best part was the cheap special effects for Labyrinth Bowie, him floating and bumping into stuff..
“I was wearing makeup, I had lightening bolts on my wanger.”
“I meant on your face, Bret, on your face.”
“Get an eyepatch Bret, ….do something outrageous….when the time is right….”
LOL so Bret exposes himself at the meeting…
Despite the disastrous meeting, the greeting card company decides to produce the card anyway, but because the chosen design is “Happy 80th Birthday, Son” very few cards are made and the band ends up earning only 50¢…..priceless..Tenacious Dundee…

If you play this over COD4, the terrorists win.

#18 – Remain calm it’s only a game. Plus, in watching that South Park episode I got the vibe that Trey and Matt either play Guitar Hero or have played before… the sound effects were totally accurate and even the songs the characters were playing were from the game. I thought it was hysterical.
