I wouldn't assume us 360 users are getting them either. I'm still waiting for the rest of Diary from Sunny Day Real Estate.

I was referring to the 360.

25 to 6 to 4 still kicks my ass... but at least it's not Subdivisions.
Thanks for the advice. I have mostly be going through the road challenges. How much of an impact does the hight of your chair have? At what angle should my leg be? I haven't bought a stool, but kind of want to.

Dude who's doing them says it won't be until after RBN2 hits:

@HMXhenry Thanks! Since the RBN2 tools aren't out yet, the release will be a while. But I'll let you know closer to then!"

Another VG tune, Splosion Man's Donut Song was announced in April and still hasn't shown up. I'm not holding my breath for either. Yeah, I'm holding a grudge. :P

Well, there is hope. 'Going Under' by Evanescence was announced when the RBN started...and it just came out last week.

I'm not too happy with how the RBN has ended up either. At least when it started songs seemed to come out fairly regularly. Now the songs just enter testing limbo and then disappear. The fact that the store only updates once a week, but in the in-game store it shows the week's songs broken up and released a couple every day is hilarious.

And I still can't believe HMX knew that a special flag had to be entered in for pro drums to work, but didn't tell the RBN authors until shortly before RB3's release.

Sweet. I'll have to pick that up.

So much stuff that hasn't come out and was first submitted to Peer Review or Playtesting in the beginning of 2010...

Off the top of my head, Dimmu Borgir, Spittin' Cobra's, Soilwork, Rotting Christ, Wheatus, etc...

That's the song that was in testing...however, I thought I heard that for some reason it was pulled indefinitely.

EDIT:
From a rep for the Authoring company that was doing the track:
"Issues happened beyond our control at a certain label that gave then took away permission. We are a wait and hold pattern at the present time.So hopefully we will see Teenage Dirtbag one of these days."

I find the lower you are, the more tiring your leg will be. You have to find a height comfortable to you.

The chair I use isn't very good. I don't know if I could get a stool though. My wife already thinks I'm nuts for having a fake drum and cymbal set. A stool might just push her over the no more sex edge.

You can pick up a cheap throne for $20. When I'm over at a friend's who have no drum throne, I end up sitting on sofa armrests. I'd rather be seated higher than lower.

Just do it. If she's still with you after the snowballing at a concert, then I'm sure you can do no wrong.

That is the event we do not speak of here. If I want to get the thrown, I would do better to remind her that it was I who cleaned up the pool of water, blood, afterbirth and "other" stuff.

I was looking on Amazon and noticed some cheap ones, but wasn't sure that they could support my size (over 200 lbs, 6'). Any recommendations?

I'd recommend investing a bit more and getting something sturdy. I use a 'Tama 1st Chair' myself.

Don't waste your money on a new set of speakers, you get more mileage from the Billy Joel pack. 1600

My mother in law wasn't allowed near our house until well after the baby was born. It was just Midwife, assistant, me and my wife. Apparently the baby and mom are more important to the midwife and assistant than cleaning out the nasty.
