Well, the 12 days of Rock Band are over and now we begin the "rest of my life of Rock Band" as the game is out and I own it and have made sweet rock with it.
This game is quite simply the greatest concept and game I've ever been privy to. I know I have a tendency of hyperbole and probably have made that comment about Super Mario Galaxy but there's a big difference.
1) Galaxy is a single player and one of the best single player games in recent memory.
2) Rock Band is a music game and is the shit (no doubt).
The game is fantastic. I recommend everyone find someone they know with a 360 and get them to buy it or get a 360 and buy it. Steal a bank if you have to. It's that fucking good.
Anyway...now to business notes...
Video Game Program: ROCK BAND! is at the Hopewell Library this Saturday from 11 AM - 3 PM. Come play the game and see how it rocks faces.
Billy, write in your fucking blog, you bitch.

On the 11th day of Rock Band...
On the 11th day of Rock Band my bandmates gave to me a rumored packed program, confirmation of the game, naked ladies dancing, a very tired joke, 2 dollars a downloadable song, 6 handjobs a-coming, 5 Star Pieces, Super Mario Galaxy, 3 TVs, Super Mario Bros 3 and an announcement on DLC.
Supposedly the Video Game Program at the Hopewell Library on Saturday is getting a lot of questions asked about it. Sweet, success and money all at the same time.
I have 106 stars in Mario. Its ridiculous.
The Packers fucking rule.
I'm getting tired of writing every day. I don't really have that much to say.

On the 3rd day of Rock Band...
On the 3rd day of Rock Band my bandmates gave to me 3 TVs, Super Mario Bros 3 and an announcement on DLC.
I had a video game program thing at college today. It was moderately successful. People came, it was cool. Tomorrow will not be tournaments...which sucks, but whatever...less planning for me.
I learned a few things.
1) Don't bank on the non-gamer crowd to show up, even if they trip and fall into it. They will still get intimidated and leave.
2) Guilt more friends into coming. Thats the only reason the ones of the library worked.
3) Perhaps take drinking/pot breaks
4) Drop acid
As you can see, it could've gone better. But whatever...the people that showed up seemed to enjoy themselves.

Bionic Jack Black and Actual Feelings
Since I last left you, there has been some awesome news revealed as well as some shitty news.
Luckily the shitty news came first this time instead of last week when Nintendo revealed Sonic and then quickly announced the 2 month delay, thus putting a terrible dirty taste in people's mouths and some coal in their stockings.
Shitty news: Rock Band Tour Dates in Philly, NYC and Rutgers are apparently all cancelled. However, Philly has been rescheduled for Nov 1-4. So all is not shit.
Now on to the good news.
Bionic Commando, the NES classic with the exploding Hitler head, is being reimagined and coming out for 360, PS3 and PC. While not as wonderful as the possibility of Wii Commando and desperately lacking Nazis, this game looks to be visually stunning and should be teh awesome. I like the way the story appears to be going with the original game seeming to happen in some kind of fuzzy past or at least that is the way I take it. Basically some Bionic Commando saved the day years ago and is being framed for crimes and now after some terrorist attack he is the world's only hope. Whatever, I played Bionic Commando for the good gameplay and laughable story. So keep up the good work.
On the same note of good news, everyone should go check out the trailer for the video game Brutal Legend. The rough plot of this game is apparently a roadie (voiced by Jack Black) has to save the world by fucking slaughtering demons.
Totally a must buy.
Lauren got Beautiful Katamari yesterday and its as crazy and Japanese as I expected. If you fail something the game yells at you and is all like, "What do you think you are? A video store clerk? A screenwriter?"
Which makes me laugh, because its yelling at me.
Holy shit that was a wonderful segue into a soliloquy about how I'm unsure of what the fuck I want to do with my life.
I mean, I have no musical talent, so the immediate answer to that question (I wanna rock) is out.
I had that whole dream of being a writer. Living off crumbs and writing and eventually rolling in stupid rich money. I wanted to make movies and write fiction. In an ideal world, I would do that.
However, this is no ideal world and Shakespeare's got to get paid, son.
The whole screenwriting/moviemaking shit isn't worth it. With the advent of everything that's going on and the ease of making dumb movies and the popularity of the 'slacker' genre that I would probably be pidgeonholed in thanks to Kevin Smith's success, it would just be a very poor decision unless I had that drive to do it like I did in my youth. (I know I am still technically in my youth, but when I say youth, I mean non-monetary concious days (which are long behind me)).
Thus I raise myself a better question. Why in the fuck am I an English major if I don't want to be a writer? Well, dear reader, if you've been reading all these shit that I've been writing in this here blog, I obviously totally want to enter video game journalism. And I think I'm going to go for that. While I am in college and that means I can change that idea over and over and rework it until I graduate and have to find some means of getting money steadily, I think it is a sound idea.
Movies aren't as much of a focus of my world anymore. I love watching them and quoting them, but its fallen into more of a hobby of mine than anything else. Video games kind of became my job a long time ago thanks to the Video Game Programs and they still remain my chief hobby. Most people check CNN and shit when they wake up in the morning. I stay up until 3 AM to see the Smash Blog update and then wake up in the morning and check 8 different sites to see their opinion on it. And then check 8 more to see more video game news.
I'm done for now because I can't think of where to go next on this, but be prepared for many other 'What the fuck do I wanna do with my life?' rants in the future.

Seemingly Random Musings
Video Game Program tomorrow at the Hopewell Library at 12 Noon - 4 PM. Be there!
It'll probably be focused on Halo 3, but Wii will be present and so Melee will probably be played.
However, the Guitar Hero Playing Device (PS2) is not making the trip. Hopefully Steve Rock will bring his guitar for the 360 version so GH will be made available.
~
~
I still really want to buy Skate (360). The demo will occasionally pop up in my fucked up Halo dreams and then like, I'll be doing kickflips and grinds with Master Chief and Elites. I liked it better when I'd play some puzzle game a lot and then go to sleep dreaming of playing Dr. Mario or Mean Bean Machine. Well...at least I'm not dreaming about Bioshock...
~
Bioshock is fucking fucked up. Fuck.
~
~
I hope NiGHTs 2 (Wii) doesn't suck. I've always wanted to play more of the game but never thought the entry fee of an entire Sega Saturn was worth it.
~
Mario and Sonic Olympics should salvage the crap that Sega's been putting together. Fencing excites me and so does the fact that its both mascots in the same freaking game. If this game can get to half-Warioware proportions, I'll be content.
~
~
After playing a lot more 360 in recent weeks, Nintendo really needs to get their internet shit together. Virtual Console is hot shit but online play? downloadable content?
I've been having a ball with my 360 because of those two things. I've been downloading demos, playing games online, downloading content...
Albeit this will overturn as Halo 3 wears out, I've played a lot more 360 in the past month. My Wii playing has been delegated to these things:
1. Melee (Gamecube game)
2. Sin and Punishment and F-Zero X (Nintendo 64 games)
3. The occasional drunken Warioware game (alcohol influence)
4. Metroid Prime 3, which got shoved aside once Halo 3 came out and appeared to outMetroid Metroid in its second level with all the fucking backtracking. Although MPrime3 outHalo'd Halo with its opening scene with the spaceship getting attacked.
So my Wii playing has been older games and drunkeness primarily.
My 360 playing has been generally new and sober.
With the advent of GHIII (which 360 won my purchase) and Rock Band, there will be a veritable brawl...
waitwaitwaitwait
Super Smash Bros Brawl is coming out for Wii.
Oh fuck, Nintendo wins.

Packers are still the best team in the NFL.
