Glad to see the Audioslave track! I'm always wanting more Cornell as DLC, no matter if it is Audioslave, solo work, or Soundgarden goodness....

I'll be picking up "RE: Your Brains". It should be fun for Halloween parties (or non-Halloween parties, for that matter).

Also interesting from that link:
The more I think about it, I bet they are holding AIC back for their new album release in a couple weeks. I can dream, but a AIC pack would be awesome.

Who doesn't want to do their best young-MJ impression?

In for ABC.

bralph

If that's right, I'm in for ABC, Miss Murder, Gasoline, & Kryptonite. Never heard of the others.

Informative article on the history of HMX.

RockBandAide is now calling that official, but I've seen no other corroboration. Anyway, it's likely to be right and the 6 PAX tracks are $1 each

That's why I didn't see it. The loser they left behind in Boston while everyone else went to PAX didn't "sticky" the new thread so it would be at the top.

Liver&Onions

put back your ass pinata avatar please. I find myself actually reading your posts now because i'm not familiar with your avatar.

Michael Corvin

Anti-climactic, but I'm down for everything but the PAX pack(just Paul & Storm for me out of that pack).

That site now has a precedent for predictions. Bookmarked.

Decker

Yeah, I saw that too. It's a brief overview, but a very interesting read nevertheless.

pinata242

So... You think you've got it under control now?

chuckd21

He'll change it back when my Bulldogs destroy his team on Saturday.

Liver&Onions

I sure hope so.

Chrisedge

From that picture it looks like Guitar Hero songs are in Rock Band?? Can you do that on the Wii? Sorry if this is a "dumb question"...

bralph

It does look that way, doesn't it...

Maybe tonight I'll play Gratitude, Hurts So Good, or Smells Like Teen Spirit...

I'm down for more Coulton. Re: Your Brains is a cool little tune, but I think Code Monkey would be better for Rock Band:

CrashNBurn69

so i connected my xbox to a projector today and for some reason rock band is window boxed. i tried other games and they filled up the entire screen. i only had problems with rb2. anyone know whats up with this?

DVDChris

in the options there is an overscan option in RB2. Check or uncheck it.

Drexl

Yes, check off "overscan." By default, they compensate for TVs with overscan so that nothing would get cut off at the edges.

It will still be that way when you first start up the game, but don't worry, the setting will take effect when the main menu comes up.

CrashNBurn69

awesome. thanks

Say what?

I attended HMX's Rock Band Network panel at PAX yesterday, which was pretty awesome. Jonathan Coulton did a live performance of The Future Soon to start things off, and then the HMX guys walked through the process of putting that song into Rock Band in a cooking show style, where most of the real work was already done beforehand and they just show the end results of each step. While it was a very technical, nerdy panel, I enjoyed it and learned quite a bit. At the end of the panel, Coulton performed the song in RB with a few attendees, which was pretty cool.

The coolest part was that they offered to give out free 4-month trial memberships to XNA Creators Club to attendees with a 360 and a hard drive, RB, and a PC on the same network as the 360. My wife and I got in on it, so we get to participate in the RBN beta, do peer review stuff on all the songs there, and play a bunch of new songs. Once we get the email from them, I'll know more about what we're allowed to say and what we aren't.
