Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
I guess it's time to start a new thread once again.
The old thread was deemed "too unwieldy". |

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
Man, you sure do get uppity about the whole thing. The last one went on twice as long as the DVD Talk standard. A change in policy should come down from the Admins, not the mods. He's just doing what he's supposed to do while catering as much as possible to your needs of starting the threads. At least it was 4-6 weeks instead of 2-3.
Time to move on and not hold it against L&O. |
Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
The other thread ended at 2,000 exactly... Thats pretty cool...
Anyway, back on topic.... nickalodean songs and hopefully one of the albums I am going for.... Seems like its been awhile since we got a complete album. Bring on the Texas Flood or some nice Janes Addiction |
Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
Hey Shag, for the DVDTalk Rocks Leaderboards, where do those Solo numbers come from?
|
Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
from the DVDTalk Rocks Gamertag. Once in a while he'll log on with DVDTalk Rocks and compares all the people on the friends list.

Now seems like just as good a time as any! |
Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
Perhaps Shagrath would like us all to post here less? :)
|
Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
I would actually like more posts. Sometimes it's dead in here!
I just don't like the arbitrary closing of threads. I've said it again and again that I find it silly. I don't see it on other vBulletin forums, and I didn't see it anywhere in DVDTalk's Terms of Use either. It's just something that I cannot comprehend. |

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
Anyone here buy a lot of DLC and occasionally "rediscover" a track you had played before but forgotten about? I just sang "Bandages" by Hot Hot Heat last night and I had forgotten how much fun it is!
|
Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
So we don't know what next week's DLC is yet or did Shag just not fill that part in yet?
|
Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
We only know the two Nickolodeon songs.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
Announcements are made on Fridays at 2 PM Eastern. No leaks this week (other than an announcement about 2 Nickelodeon tracks), so we won't know til tomorrow.

I cant believe you don't remember all the songs you download. For Shame. Must not be a real fan.

Not even DLC, either. "Highway Star" popped up the other night, and I hadn't played it in forever. It was even more awesome than I remember. (The rest of Machine Head for DLC, please.) And I gold-starred it for my first time. |

Almost every time I play. That's why I really love Mystery Setlists. I can create my own and go right past songs I've forgotten about, but it seems like I always get gems in Mystery.
