Playing Green Day: Rock Band obv.

Big surprise today as Entertainment Weekly revealed the full setlist which seems to be organized by albums within three separate venues. The setlist for this game was a pretty much no-brainer but aside from the negated “Walking Contradiction” this is probably the best band-centric setlist since “Guitar Hero: Metallica” (/flame shield up)

Check out the full setlist after the break!

Harmonix has recently opened up the Rock Band Network, which allows just about anyone in the world to put their crappy band up for sale on Rock Band 2.

Will Rock Band 3 support the Rock Band Network? Will every single one of our songs we’ve purchased follow to the next game? You bet your sweet ass it will (and if it doesn’t we are busting some skulls).

Official announcements coming soon.

It’s been 72 days today since Harmonix gave us a game to play and it never really went out of style and it made the whole community smile. So may I introduce to you the game you’ve waited for all these years! Starpower Podcast: The Beatles Rock Band!!!

The Romper Room Edition, Featuring Ben Eberle (AKA Beberle2, AKA Ben, AKA that youtube kid who plays guitar hero.)

In this episode we are joined by a myriad of youth. We didn’t let Jed in. For obvious reasons. We talk to them about the advantages and disadvantages of playing GH/RB as a young person. Also we ask Ben some specific fan questions. Then we cleaned up the urine and vomit and sent them all home from daycare. Actually, I jest. It all went pretty well and Romper Room 2 could be in the works.
