WRUP: sweet freedom edition


An interesting thing happens when you find yourself playing a game because you have to. For the past week and a half or so, we've been playing Rock Band for the sole purpose of unlocking songs (we're helping a local bar prepare for a Rock Band event, you see). So, we've been playing the guitar (we prefer the drums) on medium so that we could play through without any trouble. Gets kind of boring, you know? But, now we are free, free to bask in the glory of other Xbox 360 games. Thus, we implore you to enjoy your own freedom this week and play whatever you want. It's your right. With that in mind we ask: what will you be playing this weekend?

Mass Effect, Mass Effect, Mass Effect. Level 58... only 1.5 levels away from Level 60...it is just sitting there, taunting me.

I will hit some COD4 for a change of pace too.

BioShock will be 40 bucks at Best Buy this Sunday. With the 10 percent off coupon, it seems to be this week's winner.

I'll be mostly playing Call of Duty 4 and some GHIII on the side. I use to be real hardcore about Halo 3 and loved it but most of my friends i play with dislike Halo 3 alot. I think its just too hard for them. haha.

Some Simpsons.

I'd also be interested to see how the Rock Band Bar event turns out. I have a friend that owns a bar that has been thinking about getting Rock Band. I'm just curious how they plan on doing characters, profiles, etc.

Put simply, we don't plan on characters or profiles at all. It's going to be all quickplay in order to minimize confusion. It's a bar, so there will be drunk folk and plenty of people that aren't too video game savvy, so we're keeping it as simple as possible.

Gamefaqs has a code you can enter at the start of the game to unlock all the songs temperarily. Normally I don't condone cheating but if its for an event it makes sense. It locks them back up after you turn it off...
