Zay’z – [ Den 'O' Slack ]

It’s here.

So who’s ready for the XBE update this Friday?

I for one have been upping my Netflix Instant Queue by the day… I mean I probably never would have watched Young Einstein again otherwise.

Flawless Drumming (25g)

Want to finally get your Flawless Drumming achievement in Rock Band 2 for Xbox360? Still trying but to no avail…? Just can’t play expert drums?

Well then just download the NIrvana Track Pack or specifically Polly.

Why?

Because there are just eight notes.

Yes you read that correctly, eight total notes and only four spots where you play.

You can’t five star it on drums this way but you can at least get a simple achievement. You should also be able to accomplish this with Rock Band 1 as well, I have yet to confirm this however.

Rock on!

Also don’t forget about the new downloads that were released today.

The Bunny and I received our new ION Drum Rocker Xbox360 controller for Rock Band 1/2 yesterday.

And yeah it rocks, meaning it’s worth it.

You can’t get it direct right now but you can grab it from music sites… yes music sites, like Music123, zzounds, and SameDayMusic.

We got it from SameDayMusic (ordered on Tuesday) and we got it by Thursday. (2 Day shipping for only $22 [US]).

Good times, good times.

FHMOnline has a time waster over here, it’s the  Spank The Booty game.

I can spank the booty at nearly five hundred miles per hour, what about you?

AC/DC : Live

Well it finally happened… AC/DC is coming to town, in “full” album form that is.

And guess what, the tracks are remixed by Mike Fraser for Rock Band. Awesome.

It looks that this release will be even more expensive than the Red Hot Chilli Peppers release of Blood Sugar Sex Magik which is $20 [1,600MSPoints]. The AC/DC “Track Pack” as it’s called will run somewhere around $40 [US]!!!

Which again I’m sure is not squarely on Harmonix but on those that hold the master and or publishing rights to the tracks.

Weak.

The tracks are really solid though:

“Thunderstruck”
“Shoot to Thrill”
“Back in Black”
“Hell Ain’t a Bad Place to Be”
“Heatseeker”
“Fire Your Guns”
“Jailbreak”
“The Jack”
“Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap”
“Moneytalks”
“Hells Bells”
“High Voltage”
“Whole Lotta Rosie”
“You Shook Me All Night Long”
“T.N.T.”
“Let There Be Rock”
“Highway To Hell”
“For Those About to Rock (We Salute You)”

Nice.

The entire press release can be read here.

Well it’s that time of the week again, Tuesday… and you know what that means, more downloadable content for all you Rock Band and Rock Band 2 junkies out there.

This week sees the release of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Blood Sugar Sex Magik LP.

The ablum contains the following tracks:

The Power of Equality
If You Have to Ask
Breaking the Girl
Funky Monks
Suck My Kiss
I Could Have Lied
Mellowship Slinky in B Major
The Righteous & The Wicked
Blood Sugar Sex Magik
Under the Bridge
Naked in the Rain
Apache Rose Peacock
The Greeting Song
My Lovely Man
Sir Psycho Sexy
They’re Red Hot

*Give It Away, is already included on the Rock Band 2 game disc.

Hold up just one sec though… this one’s gonna run you a cool 1,600 MS Points… yep that’s $19.99 [US] for those not fully in the Matrix yet.

A pretty good album and what will probably be mucho fun in the coming weekends… however, OUCH!!! Before anyone tears into Harmonix on this one, I can almost garuntee you that the cost issue is one of licensing.

Period.

Well it’s hump-day, again… (finally) and I picked up Rock Band 2 the other day. The Bunny and I haven’t played it much but it seems to be a nice step up from the previous version, especially in the area of song selection.

I also got my first 100% gamerscore game, which of course is Madden 09 thanks to some help from the Bunny.

1,000/1,000G Oh yeah baby!!!

Did anyone else get the Lucasarts latest, the Force Unleashed? If so is it worth more then a rental? I played the Demo and I have to say I was only so-so after being amped up for it to come out.

So last night I fired up a little bit of Madden 09 goodness just prior to me hitting the lights out, (you do know that Madden is like warm-milk to some).

And suddenly started to understand the newer passing game. Though I still had issues with my pass defense I was doing alright against the run.

And most importantly I was finally starting to register some wins.

Oh and I snagged me some more achievements; Steal Their Thunder, Kick a FG for over 50 yards, 80% completion for a game and Shut out Rival in Franchise.

So that’s 50% of the 1,000 possible gamerscore possible.

Oh and what’s really awesome the Steal Their Thunder achievement… just requires you to press the B [RED] button while in a celebration zone.

Very, very, zen.

Now just have to work on that New York Jets rushing for 300 yards. [sigh]
