So it is the start of yet, another busy week. But before this presumably chaotic week starts, I needed to relax and I did so by playing ROCK BAND! This video game has been all the rage since it came out last winter and I’ve always wanted to play it. When I was in Nanjing two summers ago, I discovered this interactive drum game at the arcades and was literally obsessed with it. I am obsessed with any interactive rhythm video game. Rock Band comes with a drum set, guitar, bass guitar and a microphone. It is the epitome of FUN rolled into one game. It just so happened that a friend of a friend bought the game and invited some people over to play. I was mainly on mic the whole night because I was the only one whonknew the lyrics to some of the rocks songs. The best had to be my rendition of the Beastie Boy’s “Sabotage”. My voice never sounded so high and whiny before. I think I strained by voice because of that song, but it brought on a few laughs. All day at work today, I caught myself singing all the songs me and “my band” performed. I just want to go out and buy the game right now. The opening screen title was pretty amazing as well. If only I can make a demo reel as eye catching and creative as this one. Check it out.
I would love to work for a gaming company where I can play the game and tell people even something like “I modeled that bush over there.”
YES! another singer. I’m the singer of our band, “No Eds”. I have a new found appreciation for rock music after singing all these songs. Especially the crazy screaming ones.
I know I heard you were the singer in your band. I LOVE the band name. I think our band is called “The Dumps” because of the area Vinh lives in hehe. We should battle it out!! My voice was all shot after Sabatoge. Now I’m trying out the drums. I hope to sing and play drums if our drummer is sick haha
