    Re: RockBand. More Awesome.

    Nice, that one's a bitch the first go 'round.

    So I play 3's and 7's today, hoping for a gold star. First run I choke on the usual fills and a few other random things and don't get 'em. Second run I nail all the runs, nail the 12th section, nail everything. I have a FC going until I miss on the little red triplet 5 notes from the end. I still got the golds and I think the run was good enough for 3rd on Live (leaderboards haven't updated yet).

      What the fuck, dude.

      $22 = ~£11 = 2 hours work. At minimum wage.

      You seriously can't afford that?

        I'm almost 22 years old. Not making $22 an hour.

        I make 9 an hour.

        I can afford it, sure. I just wouldn't pay more than 50 cents for it.

        The way the peripherals are priced proves that the actual game is worth $10 or less. That means the code itself is probably half of that and each song is worth the other half. So $5 divided by 50 or so songs puts each song at 10 cents.

        Why the hell anyone would pay $2-5 for one song is beyond me.

          $9 per hour is a tad low. $10/hr is our minimum wage in SF.

            I highly doubt that.

            Also, I get paid by my school. $9 isn't just my hourly wage. Because I'm an employee of the school, I get discounts on my textbooks and things. Among other features.

              Polk said $22, silly.

              p.s. Minimum wage for a 22 year old in england is 5.50 (~$11)

              LOL

                      that makes me feel better for doing it

                      I have four songs left to 5* excluding DLC - Outside (which has been rendered impossible with my garbage red pad), Run to the Hills (asdf i hate it and i have no stamina and this will probably be last even when i get my new drumset ;_;.), Won't Get Fooled Again (I WAS SO CLOSE YESTERDAY), and Next to You (which i hate playing but can probably do whenever i bother to get to it).

                        I have the same ones except I got Outside today but I don't have DoA. Most of my trouble with Outside was the syncopated bass rhythm, but I found adding a left-handed accent made it much easier to pull off and I 5*'d it pretty easily.

                          improved DoA but still only a 4*

                          I broke into the top 300 on XBL with it, though, so I guess it's alright.

                            I really suck at the drums. My lack of coordination knows no bounds.

                              I did the Endless Setlist on Guitar/Vox, took me exactly 4:40 to complete. I took one bathroom break and a few breaks for water refills but other than that didn't break at all. My hands are sore and my throat hurts (I was flat for most of the last 10 songs) but otherwise I'm doing well. Also I have the little silver emblems now which is e-peen +1.
