Music For The Messes

So, with The Witcher on hold, I need a new primary game. But not tonight — tonight is for…music!

The DLC pack for Rock Band is pretty good this week. El Scorcho (Weezer) is a really easy song, but still pretty fun to play. I even got 100% on it, albeit still on Medium, but I rarely get 100% on anything. Why Do You Love Me (Garbage) is a pretty good song and a bit tougher, with actual chords, but I almost managed to 100% it if not for a screwup on the last half-dozen notes. Sex Type Thing (Stone Temple Pilots) is a classic, and the most challenging of the bunch, with more variety in transitions and power chords.

I also went back and beat my previous scores on a handful of songs like Outside, Ten Speed (Of God’s Blood and Burial), Pleasure (Pleasure), and Go With The Flow, though I can still only get four stars on that last one. Way too many long sets of repeated notes on which it’s easy to break the combo.

After that I spent a bit more time in Audiosurf, mainly in Sonic Youth songs, where I took some of the slower ones from Rather Ripped in order to get the Stainless achievement. Unfortunately, even though I’ve added a bunch of friends’ names, the friend score servers are down right now. Even when they’re working though, it doesn’t keep a very long list of the songs they’ve played, so it’s tough to try and find songs on which you can try to beat them.
