I'm thinking it's going to be a Summer of Arcade title. It has the potential to be one of the biggest XBLA games of the year.

Anyway, the game is ruined. Sorry. Carry on.


3-HOUR LATER EDIT: Oh wait, there's more:

"Congrats to Harmonix for ruining Rock Band Blitz with a trash setlist." --same guy

Congrats, Harmonix! :lol:

Who is this guy so I can block him?

Based on past SoA events, that would put it in late July or August, right?

I don't even want to say, as I'm kind of embarrassed that I'm even following this asshole. :lol: But do a search for "trash setlist" and it should be there.

Yes sir. Usually the last two weeks of July/first three weeks of August.

To be fair...he does have a point here:


Something needs to be done about all these little teen bitches having kids...its ridiculous.

I know, right? I guess I follow him because I can't believe people like that actually exist.

Some of his better ones were when Stepto and fourzerotwo quit their jobs earlier this year. Oh, and any of the ones where he bitches about family members of the military getting a military discount. Fantastic stuff.

Every Summer of Arcade title has been at least a time-exclusive on the 360. Since RB Blitz is coming to PSN, I think it's safe to assume it won't be in the SotA promotion.

All I know is that it won't be out by Sunday for my RB/Game of Thrones/Birthday party so Harmonix can go fuck themselves!

We've got to compile a DLC Set List for your party. So far, I've come up with :
Don't Fear The Reaper - Blue Oyster Cult
Ring of Fire - Johnny Cash
All The Small Things - Blink 182
Head Like A Hole - Nine Inch Nails
Killer Queen - Queen
Hungry Like The Wolf - Duran Duran
and of course,
Fire and Ice - Pat Benatar

pinata242 05-31-12 12:47 PM

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 
Amazing! I should just buy Ring of Fire and Fire and Ice to complete that setlist.

Can't believe I forgot this seasons overriding theme:
Everybody Wants To Rule The World - Tears For Fears

Canis Firebrand 05-31-12 01:39 PM

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 
Wasn't the 30 Seconds to Mars song Kings and Queens released a while back? That would probably work in with the theme.

I'm sure we can apply Two Princes to someone in the world too. At least I can think of something in the future that would be appropriate!

Okay, I think I've got some new lyrics for you:


Two princes, princes swing above you
(that what I said now)
They're crispy because they loved you
(they're not really dead now)
Theon, said he wants to take things over
(make his dad so proud now)
This one, he had to ride upon your shoulders
(he went "thud" real loud, ow)

Carry him or Carry me
I'm the one who loves you Hodor, can't you see?
Well, a wolf's the sigil of my family tree
and I know what a lord of Westros ought to be
I know what a lord of Westros ought to be

So if you want to follow Greyjoy,
just go ahead now
And if you like Renly that closeted gay boy,
just go ahead now
Or if you want to sail with Stannis,
just go ahead now,
Or if you want to know what a half man is,
just go ahead now.

Pre-emptive edit: Ninja'd by MWB!!!

DLC for 6/5:


Hey gang,

Harmonix kicks off June’s Rock Band Music Store releases with a selection of three singles that assure there’s something for everyone when the tracks drop on June 5th.

“Teen Angst (What the World Needs Now)” from alternative rock group Cracker kicks things off. The single comes from the band’s 1992 self-titled debut record, and peaked that year at number one on the Billboard’s U.S. Modern Rock Tracks.

When Florence + the Machine released their debut record, Lungs, in 2008, it quickly became one of the year’s most popular releases. “Dog Days Are Over,” the multi-platinum second single from Lungs, hits the Rock Band Music Store on June 5th.

Finally, Australia’s Midnight Oil makes their debut in Rock Band with ”Power and the Passion” the first single from the critically acclaimed 1982 record, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

Available on Xbox 360, Wii and PlayStation®3 system (June 5th, 2012):

• Cracker – “Teen Angst (What the World Needs Now)” X

• Florence + the Machine – “Dog Days Are Over” O

• Midnight Oil – “Power and the Passion” O


Tracks marked with “O” feature support for keyboards; tracks marked with “X” will offer Pro Guitar and Pro Bass expansions for $0.99 per song.

Price:

$1.99 USD (160 Microsoft Points ™, 200 Wii Points™) per song
$0.99 USD (80 Microsoft Points™, 100 Wii Points™) per song for eligible Pro Guitar/Pro Bass upgrade
Cracker is an insta-buy! Need more Refreshments!

Def in for Cracker. That's an awesome song.
Will pick up the Florence + the Machine song as well.

Not familiar with that Midnight Oil song. Too bad it wasn't one of their bigger hits being released.

Maybe those are clues to the remaining RBB singles?

Cracker? Hell yeah! That's a day one purchase for me. I just posted on the wall of close, personal Facebook friend* (and Richmond legend) David Lowery, telling him that I'm excited about this.

*He seems to accept anybody's friend request.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 
Cracker and Florence are definite purchases for me. I probably won’t get the Midnight oil track though.

I'm happy with this week. It's a nice mix of music from three different eras. Hopefully it's the first of a few solid announcements we'll get from HMX in the next few days...
