More Rock Band

Wednesday, July 30th, 2008

Girl and I did finish The Endless Setlist on Medium (the lowest setting).  I took us another hour and a half on Sunday morning to do the final 18 songs, for a grand total of just over 5 hours.   I’ve got a lot to say about RB, RB2, and GH in general, but I’ve been […]

We’re taking a break, pausing it for the night.  40 Songs in 3.5 hours.  We’re making better time than the info we found online.  But we haven’t done “Green Grass and High Tides” yet either.
Don’t Fear the Reaper is an okay warmup for tomorrow morning.
If there’s a power outage, there might be a death.  So, […]

SideQuest: Avatars

Thursday, July 17th, 2008

Ok, I know which one of these is my favorite picture, and I know which one is by far my least favorite.  But an avatar has to be more than fun, so I’ve got these four pictures I took of myself (on the same day).  I’ve crunched them down to 80×80 PNGs (that’s the standard […]

CTotW : Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog

Tuesday, July 15th, 2008

I had planned a post on emotional design, and how it reflects my experiences with D&D, Rock Band, and Guitar Hero, but I left my book at home, so you get this instead.
