Be Still My Kick-Started Heart

October 3, 2008

Harmonix has been schizophrenic over the past week: announcing a fantastic selection of tracks for next week’s DLC (see below) while at the same time revealing the meh AC/DC on-disc expansion.  Additionally, it’s slipped out from a totally different source that Motley Crue’s Dr. Feelgood album will appear as a DLC on the 14th of October.  Welp, there goes my MS points.  However I’ll save some cash regarding the AC/DC expansion.  Why you may ask?

I like AC/DC, and would love to play more in Rockband, but I want to choose the tracks.  Don’t A) make me buy an entire disc of say, 20 tracks, when I only care about half of them; and B) don’t make the expansion exclusive to goddamn Walmart.

Compare and contrast to a fantastic, pick and choose DLC week, from which I will eagerly download the following:

• Pretty Fly - Offspring
• Self Esteem - Offspring
• All Right Now - Free
• Bad to the Bone - George Thorogood
• Nearly Lost You - Screaming Trees

I blame EA/MTV for the AC/DC stupidity.  No great loss in the greater scheme of things.

Oh, and I’ve found another gaming podcast worth listening to: The d6 Generation.  I came for the Warmachine and stayed for the everything else.
