Wii crashes

This is the second time the game has frozen for me on Wii. The first time all I remember is that I was about to play Something, now this time when trying to exit an online game. grrr

Easter Eggs (real ones)

At the title screen enter the following colour code:

Xbox/PS3:blue, yellow, orange,orange,orange, blue, blue, blue, yellow, orange.

Wii: put in red instead of orange.

This unlocks some photos to be viewed in Story Mode.

Ok, now I really finished the Story

You have to leave the credits on (like 10 minutes, or so it felt) to get the Encore chapter, which is solely The End.

I made it to The End

But I didn’t get to play it. I played the whole story mode but The End is not in Story mode. It does make an abbreviated appearance in a new animation after you finish the last song on the last chapter (Get Back). Made my eyes well up.

Now I’m listening to chatter over the credits. Are there any easter eggs?

Vocals on BRB

I noticed that the key or whatever changes sometimes for upcoming words, I’m guessing based on your last note. Is this normally how Rock Band works? I like it.

Incidental music

Does anyone know if the music that plays over reward screens is Bealte music? It sort of sounds like an outtake from Flying, but probably not. It’s really eerie sounding - I love it.

Budokan

Do the suits change based on what time you are playing the Budokan chapter? I know I’ve seen Taxman in the afternoon (white) suits, but right now they’re in the dark suits.

Happy 090909 Eve!

I’ve been waiting since later October 2008 for this. Luckily I have stuff to amuse me this evening, otherwise I’d go nuts. My agenda tomorrow is not exactly what I had in mind, but it’s what the fates have decreed for me.

8:00 - Best Buy at Mall of America to see their Beatles extravaganza and buy the stereo box set.

9:30 - I talked to the guy who is opening GameStop tomorrow morning, and he said he’ll probably be there around 9:30, and so will I.

10:00 - Listen to CDs or set up Rock Band? I can’t decide.

1:00ish - The Higher Power has informed me that I need to remember the real world and all its pain on this day. My aunt is having triple bypass surgery in the morning, so I’m going to the hospital to be with the family.

4:00 - Call into a work meeting.

5:00-onwards - Play/listen/play/listen/eat/play/listen/etc….

Good news for Wii fans

According to this about.com reviewer…

“Hooking up three microphones, two guitars and a drum kit to my Wii was a little tricky. Unlike the Guitar Hero games, which use the Wii’s own wireless remote connection, with the Rock Band games you must daisy chain a bunch of Rock Band USB receivers to the back of the Wii. It’s considerably more of a pain than the Guitar Hero method.”

THANK YOU SWEET JESUS!! No stupid Wiimotes sticking out of the guitars.
