Hello everyone! Today I had a rather quiet day, where I just read a little, and played Rock Band. Rock Band is more relevant to today’s blog post: I realized that I had not unlocked any achievements on the first game. So I got some! I gave myself a little challenge, and that challenge was to get all 4 of the “Flawless” achievements. To unlock these, you have to 100% a song on expert difficulty.

The challenge itself was very fun. I started with bass, as it is the only one to have an added challenge, where you had to not only 100% a song, but do it with only up strums. It’s not a huge difficulty jump, and I used the song Something In the Way by Nirvana, both a favorite and a song not too bad in difficulty. I followed this with drums, which I admittedly cheesed. Nirvana’s song Polly (it was a great day to be a Nirvana fan) has a total of 4 notes on drums, so I just did that one. If it ever nags at me in the future, I’ll do it “for real.” Guitar was up third, and I used Stephen Colbert’s free DLC song Charlene for two reasons: first, it’s a funny song, and I was doing this at 2:00, so my brain cells needed something dumb. Secondly, the song is only 90 seconds, so I don’t have to worry about being 5 minutes into a 6 minute song and missing. Finally, I closed the challenge out with vocals, and just sung Something In the Way. I think I’ve FC’d a song on vocals on Rock Band 4, just not the first one. It was the easy one to end out with. Overall, it was a fun little challenge that took me about an hour. I would recommend if you ever get bored.

That’s all for today. Have a fantastic rest of your day.
