Guns on the Moon

Trucked Rock Band out to Nunzio's today to get in some actual multi-player play.

I believed the people who say the game's better the more players you have. I didn't realize the fun was an exponential function.

We had the full complement of players. There was a house, and it was rocked.

The game's not perfect by any means, even ignoring the crappy quality control on the guitar controllers (My new one has a flaky tilt sensor), but it's very well-designed. We took a break after playing a bunch of gigs and used our hard-earned cash to buy clothes for the band members, and even that was pretty entertaining.

I'm going to have to try drums or singing next time.

In the not improbable event that there is a next time, is anybody on my friends list potentially interested?

(And before anybody asks, the post title was the name of our band.)

Excellent! I played Rock Band for the first time last night, though we only had three people. I tried out drums (insanely hard, but fun) and the guitar (fun, but also had a faulty tilt sensor). I definitely like the game - the songs are a little more my style than Guitar Hero 3. If you ever want to play when I can make it to NYC, I'm definitely game.

Give me advance warning next time you're going to be in the city, and I'll try.

I would be interested. Everyone on my friends list has been raving about this game. Scheduling it on the other hand ...

For starters, I assume rocking out on the Sabbath isn't possible.

(Not to be confused with rocking out to Sabbath, which is entirely possible.)

*grin* there may be some confusion, Black Sabbath, Black hat, black Friday, it's one of those things ...

When is the next proposed rocking out?

Hasn't even been discussed yet.

Next week isn't impossible, but feels unlikely to me, barring popular demand. (And for all I know, Nunzio's doing Arisia.) Week after that is Dreamation.

And then there's this LARP I'm helping write, with a hard deadline of the end of February...

I'll ask Nunzio what he thinks, and email you directly.
