Hey again! After yesterday, where I just said “no post today” as a bit, today my post is another vaguely comedic bit! Now I usually start my posts with what I did today, so here’s what I did today. Today I played some LA Noire, and then Rock Band 1. I finished the first disc of LA Noire, so my assumption is that I am 1/3 of the way through seeing as it is 3 discs on Xbox 360, but who knows? It’s probably less.

My playing of Rock Band 1 was the real meat of the day, though. I opened the game and I had a thought: “I always put in the cheat code to unlock all songs, why don’t I just play through the career and get the songs I want?” So I did. Now one of the songs I really adore in that game is “Tom Sawyer” by the band Rush. It’s a great prog song. Now the song is one of, if not the hardest on drums, and I wanted to unlock it quick, so I played through the game on guitar. The song isn’t too difficult, so I expected it to not be a long affair. Rock Band sorts songs by tiers of difficulty, with the first game having 9. I had already completed the first tier, so I figured it could be no more than 4 tiers, as I think it’s about medium-difficulty for the game. It was at tier 7 of 9 where I realized that this was not the case! The song is in tier 8! I played the tiers 2 to 8 all back-to-back! That is 35 consecutive songs! My hand hurts!

It was fun. I’m not gonna lie, I love Rock Band. But it is a funny little story, regardless of that aspect, which is why I told you it. I hope you get as much of a kick out of it as I did, and have a fantastic rest of your day.
