Recycling hard drive parts for rocking!

I never saw the appeal of buying all new Rock Band instruments if you already owned the first generation instruments. There was one thing however that made me really like the new Rock Band guitars, and no it wasn’t the new wood finish. This weekend I finally added the one part that I really wanted. A start button guard!
Rock Band guitars aren’t really known for their durability, and one of my guitars refuses to kick into overdrive unless I do a Chuck Norris roundhouse into a back flip in the middle of Visions’ solo before my drummer’s shin bursts into flames and we have to start the 12 song set all over again.
My main problem with adding the guard was figuring out what to use. I thought about using putty, washers, and even cardboard, but then I remembered I had a bag of aluminum hard drive spacers that would work perfectly. All I had to do was get a little super glue and attach it right to the guitar leaving room for the screw that sits next to the start button in case I ever needed to get to the guts of the guitar.
I took a couple pictures just so you could see how the finish product looks. Hopefully this will alleviate those mid-game pauses that sometimes happen when my groin muscles aren’t feeling up to the task of saving my bandmate.

Let me know in the comments what you have used to modify your Rock Band instruments.

Motorstorm

Funny thing about Motorstorm…

It doesn’t seem to care that you have been cheating on it with Rock Band.

It will still pound your ass to the dirt the next time you pick up the controller to start up where you left off.

On a side note, what do you think of the new theme? I think I like it but it is a bit confusing to pull down the little thing at the top to get to more options.

Rock Band redux

Another morning with a little extra time, and another Rock Band related post. This time all the work has been done by a friend and my wife. I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Strip Rock Band

I woke up a bit early today so I thought I would run this by…well…myself to see what I think.

Strip Rock Band is played similarly to strip poker in that the loser must relinquish an article of clothing after each round. Here are the other rules that I have come up with to make this more of a game.

1. Each player must play the song on expert mode.

2. The loser is the first person to fail out of the song without being saved.

3. The loser must remove a article of clothing and gets to pick the next song.

4. The loser also gets to pick which instrument they would like to play next. If the loser of the round selects your instrument to play you must swap them instruments.

5. Bass cannot be played twice in a row.  The Bass player must play guitar every other turn. Likewise the guitar must play bass every other turn.

6. You cannot play the same instrument more than 2 times in a row.  After you have played a instrument twice someone else must pick your next instrument. You then have to swap instruments with whoever was playing the chosen instrument.

7. If you save someone you get to put a piece of clothing back on. If you are already fully clothed then you do NOT get brownie points or credit toward losing a round. All re-clothing is done after the round is over.

8. If no one fails in a song, the person with the lowest percentage is “the loser”. They do not need to remove any clothing but they still must pick the next song and swap instruments with someone.

If you are playing this with only 3 or 2 people than you can only have that many instruments. You cannot have a open instrument.

Let me know what you think or if you have any suggestions for additional rules.
