01.20.09 | rockband: the most expensive game evar

so it goes without saying that rockband 2 is a pretty dope game — it’s also the only game i’ve invested so much money into:

  • the game + instruments: $189.99
  • songs: $79.74
    • 22 singles @ $1.99 ea = $43.78
    • 2 track packs (killers and weezer) @ $5.49 ea = $10.98
    • song export key (which added all the songs from rb1) = $4.99 (worth every penny)
    • no doubt track pack = $19.99
  • mic stand: $23.49
  • cymbals (2 pk): $29.99 [ gamestop ]
  • drum pad silencers: $19.99 [ gamestop ]

grand total (currently): $343.20 (holy sh*t)

i’m not complaining, because they’ve got a good thing going — keep the music and the game fresh every week pretty much

i’m actually glad when there’s a week of crap songs — gives me some time to rest on the ones i currently have — i’m all about this wiki page to stay up to date [ wiki ]

and i hear they’re not making a rockband 3 — they’ll be working on new songs and stuff instead (thank you, harmonix) [ wired ]

if anything, rockband has showed me that my nephew andy (4 yrs old) has crazy good rhythm. it’s also weird that he can sing “dirty little secret” really really well (the lyrics are pretty questionable for a kid his age… ha)


scary freezeframe… geez

ooh... rock band!

ooh... rock band!

store: vons
type: german pilsener
abv: 4.90%

lemme get this out in the open — i’m not a fan of green-bottled beer… so why is beer bottled in green bottles? mark says, “cos they’re fucking retarded” (true, but i’m looking for specifics — thanks for playing, mark).

here’s another answer, but it doesn’t really answer why it was done in the first place

i think it was three sheets that told me that breweries used green bottles when there was a shortage of brown bottles… can someone f’in google it to determine if i’m right or if i just pulled that one outta my ass? (i would, but i am le tired)

anyway, this beer was just like heineken, which also is way overrated (jersey douchebags) — little sour flavor. if someone on beeradvocate says they taste “hints of coriander” or “floral notes”, they’re f*ckin’ lying… there is nothing good about this beer

i’m proud to present my first D grade! whoo hoo

oh yea, and everyone wanted to be tagged — so there you go, andy, lisa, juan, and adam. enjoy the spotlight
