[Gaming?] XBE, It’s Here
![]()
It’s here.
[Gaming] Xbox “Next”
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.

[Gamez] Rock Band 2, Flawless Drumming Achievement (XBOX360)
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.
[GameZ] RB1/2, Blink182 + DLC 10/28

This weeks Rock Band downloadable content includes one of my all time favorite songs from the decade past.
I guess there’s some other releases as well:
Siouxsie and the Banshees Pack – 440 MSP ($5.49)
- “Hong Kong Garden” – 160 MSP ($1.99)
- “The Killing Jar” – 160 MSP ($1.99)
- “Kiss Them For Me” – 160 MSP ($1.99)
Blink 182 – “Dammit” – 160 MSP ($1.99)
The Psychedelic Furs – “Pretty In Pink” – 160 MSP ($1.99)
Silversun Pickups – “Melatonin” – 160 MSP ($1.99)
Silversun Pickups – “Well Thought Out Twinkles” – 160 MSP ($1.99)
You can see the “official” release notes here.
[Gaming] ION Drum Rockin’ In The $300 World
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.
[Slack] Beer Strip (NSFW) If You’re Good…
Bored? Like to catch beers and see women get nikkid?
Well then go catch the (from way back) Pilsner bottle drop game over at ZoopGames.com called appropriately enough Choose A Girl.
[Gamez] Spank The Booty
[Funny] Poster : Power Leveling
How many times must I tell you, go check out DemotivateUs.com!
[Rock Band] And You…
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.
[Rock Band] Red Hot Harmonix Peppers

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.
