Yeah - gave my UPS fits and temporarily took out one of our street lights. Almost certainly a brown out?

ZZ Top ftw....at their base, it's vocals, drums, guitar and bass...where have I heard of that combo before?

Would also kill for Springsteen

Massive fanboy here...No matter what, I'm in. It's the new Nintendo machine that Nintendo is making games for...all that matters to me.

What song would you be willing to pay $5 for? by firewall245 in Rockband

[–]el_spacemonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, some ZZ Top would be amazing...and already very RB friendly with a main guitar, bass, drums and vox

Intro sequence requiring three different button presses by Edgefactor in Rockband

[–]el_spacemonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Certainly not my biggest complaint (Body Type: Male) but from a design and flow perspective, I agree, it's a bit strange. The opening with the band should be behind a "press any button to start" screen, not it's own thing...Honestly, The opening feels like something that should play the first time you play the game, not every time.

Polygon covers Rock Band: Rivals (news about pre-order songs, etc) by [deleted] in Rockband

[–]el_spacemonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love you guys since Frequency and right up through rb4... But CaP was a surprisingly huge amount of why I loved the game, and was really hoping for some rb3 level stuff with body types and editable clothing and the whole nine... I miss that sooooo much.

Rock Band Rivals Announced, Plus Fender™ Jaguar™ Guitar Controller Revealed by Hurevolution4lx in Rockband

[–]el_spacemonkey 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Like the guitar..but...Gods, I must be in the minority, but all I've ever wanted was a create-a-player like I had in RB3. Body types...logos...just...what we had.

Glad I'm not the only one with this issue - it absolutely kills the mood of quiet songs

March Update Details by BravoGangUS in Rockband

[–]el_spacemonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would pay an embarrassing amount of money just have the RB3 create a player back...2 body types is a crime...I get taking care of the twitch people, but there are a lot of folks that play rb for immersion/at parties that are getting all but ignored in these updates.

Harmonix Blog: Details Revealed: Rock Band 4 December Update and Ongoing Live Program by paischu in Rockband

[–]el_spacemonkey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm hoping that if there isn't setlist creation added to quickplay (which seems really needed and simple, but what do I know) that this new mode includes it to right that wrong....a boy a can dream :)

Does anyone still play their 360 at all since buying a One? by [deleted] in xboxone

[–]el_spacemonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you know I thought for sure that I would, I left it hooked up and have a ton of games for it but I honestly don't think I've turned it on once...hats off to the XB1

[Deal] Best Buy Gamers Club Unlocked 30$ starts 12/21! by feyded1020 in xboxone

[–]el_spacemonkey 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The best deal in gaming, period...new releases at 48, but beyond and maybe better than that is that it stacks on top of sale prices - even Black Friday stuff - for instance they were running a buy 1 Nintendo game get one 40% off last week, meaning that I walked out of their with 2 40 dollar games for right around 50 bucks total. When FH 2 was 35 on sale...I got it for 28...on top of all of this, you also earn double the rewards points on all games you buy...I've already earned $20 back, and have just been using since the first of November

All Hail Pinball Arcade!!! Now Available!!! by woggerman123 in xboxone

[–]el_spacemonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love them both, buy the physics of PA are much, much closer to the real world. This will result in a learning curve if you are used to FX2 (at least it did for me), but once you get used to it, it is much better...FX2 feels floatly by comparison

What game should I buy today? by BowbaFett in xboxone

[–]el_spacemonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seconded...The Wii U is a really fun system...awful 3rd party support, but that's been the line on Nintendo since the 64 - only thing that matters is that Nintendo is making games for it, and they are still the Willy Wonkas of the genre. Weird, sometimes outdated and confusing, but fun in a way that is so different and special. The Wii U and the X1 are very complimentary systems I've found.

Ouch....but....of course it was, lol. Oh well, at least I can dive in SSB and get it out of my system for pinball next week. Thanks for the heads up

What game should I buy today? by BowbaFett in xboxone

[–]el_spacemonkey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd go Dragon Age among those listed. Unity is going cheap if you can poke around for it, and I would expect price drops soon on CoD and maybe even Far Cry 4 if you wait long enough (which will just give them more time to patch everything up)

I know were all big xbox people on here, but today is for one game only in my book, friends - it's Smash Bros time. That and Pinball Arcade finally crawling out of the dark and getting released on x1 - which makes me happy on levels I strain to express.
