Mind of UPSLynx: Week of September 6th

Mind of UPSLynx: Week of September 6th

After a long week’s absence, it’s back! This week we discuss AMD’s new branding system, and in a fit of rage, some hardware gets demolished by yours truly. The Icrontic Top 100 Songs Countdown is underway, have you submitted your picks? And of course, what would MIND be without some gaming talk? If you went to Pax, you may have caught something viral, and we’re not talking marketing. Finally, Ten years ago this week the Sega Dreamcast began thinking. Just hit play already, I know you want to.

    QCH Very good review.... While I do not play console games, I will play Beetles for the harmony vocals. ;)
  3. kryyst
    kryyst Harmonizing Vocals = Cool. Not compatible with any other Rock Band content = Not Cool. Leaving this title souly in the hans of ravenous Beetles fans and a pretty niche title at that.

    See? See?! (if you want to get technical, there were four)

    For Winfrey: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmNFmHEeHfY

    I'm really surprised Beatles RB isn't compatible with other content. When we get together to play RB, if it's not on the RB2 disk (or imported from RB1) then we don't play it. It's too annoying to load up another game just for some different songs. That's unfortunate.

    Also - anyone notice my shameless thievery and abuse of a Muse lyric in this video?

    Gate28 Picked up Beatles at PAX on Sunday, it's pretty fun, I like the harmonizing vocals, but I was able to 4-star or better every single song in the game on either guitar or bass (whichever was harder for the particular song) on my first go though story mode.

    Also, I got a biopsy yesterday that turned out negative for swine flu, so I got a q-tip up my nose for nothing.

    GooD LoL, you're getting better at it. Loved that last one ! Keep it coming :D

    Poor CRT tho :( lol
  15. UPSLynx
    UPSLynx CRT was totally broken, I should add. Wouldn't display an image outside of green shifty lines. Tried everything I could do to save it after UPS Hitman gave it to me, no dice.

    I'd never waste a good CRT... especially a big one. I love those things.
  16. GooD
    GooD That was cool as hell to watch, i should add :P
  17. GnomeQueen
    GnomeQueen I got to play the Beatles RB last night. I have to say that I'm a fan, though I didn't get to try out the harmonizing vocals (we only had one mic). Still, the incompatibility and the fact that the game only had like what, 20, 25 songs, was kind of a downer. I'm not quite sure if more are unlockable or not.
  18. Kwitko
    Kwitko Point of information- The Icrontic 100 was supposed to be over on Sept 13, but I'm extending it an additional week. NEED MOAR MUSIKS!
  19. DrLiam
    DrLiam Love the update. Nice mixture of destruction (</3 4 CRTs), sexually suggestive photos ( ;) ), and ear-shattering singing (what were you dressed up as?).

    there is no good answer to this question :crazy:

    GQ - there's about 45 songs on the game, plus three albums as downloadable content.

    Full listing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_songs_in_The_Beatles:_Rock_Band

    And everyone, get posting your top twenty!
  21. chrisWhite
    chrisWhite CRT (and all of it) were EPIC! Well done sir, I tip my hat to you
  22. UPSWeezer
    UPSWeezer dang... i look a LOT younger in those videos. we need some rock band again. get the band together, will ya?
  23. UPSLynx
    UPSLynx Working on it Weezer. Probably withing the next few weeks. I haven't seen UPSYuri in forever.
  24. Grimnoc
    Grimnoc I think this may be one of your best ones. Keep up the good work Bobby.
  25. UPSLynx
    UPSLynx Grimnoc - I'm inclined to believe that you're biased because I chucked a CRT off the balcony

Howdy, Stranger!
