pass,
I’ll pass… this through my boules!
Just imagine Triumph the Insult Comic Dog from Conan O’Brien said that.
don’t like this pack.
Why does this sound like it was copied and pasted out of an advertisement or blog by harmonix?
I don’t like that…
Far too much information just to say
“Hey guys, they are releasing the classic rock pack. You can download the songs to the rockband game and use the tracks in Rockband 2. There are 20 tracks for 30 dollars (about 1.50 a track if you’re bad/lazy at math) with artists like The Who, Rush (not Limbaugh
), and the Police (who may need to listen to Limbaugh a bit
)
Political joking aside what do you guys think? Is it ok for Harmonix to release these track packs or do you think that it’s too much like what Activision is doing in releasing too many disk games? Anyway just thought you guys might want to know! Bye for now”
Yay more Rockband packs!
