Rock(star) On!

It has been a while since my last post and I've debated on trying to do a sort of wrap up dealie or just do one of those time shift things like they did to cap off the last season of Battlestar Galactica. So, just try to imagine me with an eyepatch now, or a beard with twenty extra pounds, or now a father and we'll get cracking on this next post

Well, considering Harmonix hasn't really done anything that wasn't done by Konami first, and they've managed to continue putting out quality music games despite being a large corporation (hell, the FOURTEENTH version of Guitar Freaks came out in the arcade while I was in Japan this month), I wouldn't worry too much about it.

As for consoles, I seem to have had the conversation recently a lot about whether or not one buys one, and in my opinion, you buy a console when there is a critical mass of games for it, and only it, that you absolutely have to be able to play. I bought a Japanese PS1 about six years ago just to play DDR, after all, though I still haven't been able to justify a Nintendo DS or anything along those lines...

Personally, I'm slightly more worried about Karaoke Revolution, which co-branded its last version with Country Music Television, and is co-branding the next one with American Idol (yech). I'm still holding out for "Karaoke Revolution: The 80s," but they'd probably have to co-brand with VH1 for that.
