Special Limited Edition "Down Under!" Off Topic Fanpost of the Day

Kramer_tiny by Coach Owens on Comment 860 comments

(I can do one too so shut up. Hey, that might as well be a topic for today! "Why Coach is not allowed to make OTFPOTD(s)!) Anyway, since this the "Down Under" edition of OTFPOTD, it has nothing to do with RRS. However, there are some great other topics you can talk about:

Star-divide

*Why Australians talk with funny accents

*Why my ingrown toenail won't go away and why it keeps bothering me

*You guys can talk about BEER (AKA disgusting dribble for older people)

*Why will they rid of baseball in the Olympics despite the third most populous country having a whole, huge professional league and the fact that it has started to spread across the entire world

*Why Crack Cocaine is illegal

 

Or other topics that I totally don't care about but you guys might because we're all totally different people.

You're talking to a Mariners fan here, bub.

We are the definition of silly. Why else would we root for the second worst team in baseball?

Haha, excellent usage of the word "bub"

In my opinion, more people should use this word.

Clocks is a great song. Even if you don't like them (which I don't).

Another interesting note. Have you seen the movie Blow, where Johnny Depp says every girl he met in California had the same job, stewardess?

Well in Japan it’s the same way, except they all work at hostess bars. Basically really expensive bars for Japanese business men. It’s wild.

I guess the ugly ones probably don’t work there, but I’m not really pining to find out.

Ballroom Blitz almost got me thrown out of a limo in Vegas

it’s a great song, and it happens to be one of my best friend’s favorites; we’d been drinking for a good portion of the weekend, and got a comped limo from (turn away now Coach) one of Vegas’ fine adult dancing establishments. As we’re about a block from the hotel, Ballroom Blitz came on the stereo, and my friend dove across the limo, cranked up the volume, and blew out a speaker in the back of the limo.

The driver wanted to throw us out right there but we pointed out that he was already in the driveway of our hotel, so he took us in. We tipped him heavily and he forgot all about his speaker. Good times.

Here goes.

Don’t Fear the Reaper – Excellent
Are You Gonna Be My Girl – Meh
Ballroom Blitz – Fun (though, really, only on vocals)
Black Hole Sun – Excellent
Blitzkrieg Bop – Meh
Celebrity Skin – Meh
Cherub Rock – Excellent
Creep – Good
Dani California – Good
Dead on Arrival – Boo
Detroit Rock City – Boo
Electric Version – Meh
Enter Sandman – Excellent
Epic – Meh
Flirtin’ With Disaster – Good
Foreplay/Long Time – Excellent
Gimme Shelter – Good
Go With the Flow – Good
Green Grass and High Tides – Meh (WAAAAY too long)
Here it Goes Again – Good
Highway Star – Good
I Think I’m Paranoid – Meh
In Bloom – Meh
Learn to Fly – Excellent
Main Offender – Meh
Maps – Good
Mississippi Queen – Good
Next to You – Meh
Orange Crush – Good
Paranoid – Meh
Reptilia – Meh
Run to the Hills – Meh (though it’s great to sing…but too hard on drums)
Sabotage – Good
Say it Ain’t So – Good
Should I Stay or Should I Go – Good
Suffragette City – Good
The Hand that Feeds – Good
Tom Sawyer – Excellent
Train Kept A-Rollin’ – Good
Vasoline – Excellent
Wanted Dead or Alive – Excellent
Wave of Mutilation – Good
Welcome Home – Excellent
When You Were Young – Excellent
Won’t Get Fooled Again – Excellent

The Boston DLC was excellent, the Metallica DLC was excellent, the Black Sabbath DLC was good, The Bowie DLC was good, the Oasis DLC was good, the Jimmy Buffett DLC was surprisingly fun. The only real failures (I think) in Rock Band so far is the Fallout Boy song, and releasing the entire “Doolittle” album by the Pixies as DLC. It’s a fantastic album, but doesn’t really work for Rock band.

I agree with this.

And I think once GHWT comes out, most people will forget about Rock Band, because all Rock Band really has on GH is the drums and singing, and without it, it shouldn’t be as good. I mean the guitar for Rock Band is a piece of shit compared to the guitar hero one, and the graphics suck, and the songs aren’t nearly as challenging on expert in Rock Band as they are in Guitar Hero (Probably because rock band is a tad bit slower). And the drums for GHWT will be much better too, with the cymbals.

Rock Band has the wealth of songs that GHIII doesn’t. That’s the biggest advantage.

But GHWT will come with a song creator.

So yea. This may sound dorky, but if there is a song I want to play that isn’t in the game, I look up the song on youtube for someone who probably hacked GH2 and created the song there, so I usually just play along. Disadvantage is I don’t know what notes I missed or my score, but its still fun if you get bored to the same songs.
