That sound you hear is me playing Rock Band:  The Beatles.  Yeah, as if Guitar Hero wasn't enough, now I have a new set of games to get into.  My wife wanted this, so I went up and got it and we have been playing all weekend. . . errr well, maybe not constantly because it can be a lot of work hitting those notes just right.  Anyway, this is the first Rock Band game I've got and it seems, well, slower.  Don't get me wrong, it's a blast to play and fun to hear the songs again, it just seems easier (on medium anyway).

 

Looking over the achievements I see that there are a lot more achievements tied to the expert level.  I guess in that respect it may be a more difficult game, but I'll have to work on it and see how tough Hard and Expert are.

 

It would seem that is just about the only game I've concentrated on, but I did manage to work a little on some Pinball FX.  I decided to get the Rocky and Bullwinkle table and after several attempts, manages to get a decent score with all the multiballs flying around.  I even managed to get the achievement tied to the spinner. 

 

Also in non console related games, there were a few football games I got to watch.  That Jets game was interesting to watch as was the 49er/Vikings game.  Great stuff!  There was even a bonus when Green Bay decided to show up for their game.  Seems that offensive line needs a little more to it.  Hate to see Bulger get hurt in the game, but the backup quarterback for the Rams seemed to bring some life into the game and made a showing.  But now that this week is done with (as regards to the Packers) it's now time to look forward to the Showdown in the Metrodome on Monday night no less!  This promises to be a nerve wracking game to watch.  On one hand I want to see Green Bay put in a decisive win, yet on the other hand I want to see Favre have a good game.  But knowing how these darn divisional games go and the fact that Green Bay and Minnesota almost always give each other the worst headaches, I'm prepared for the slice of humble pie should that be what is served.

 

Well, the weekend is over so it's back to the grind tomorrow.  Gonna be a 2nd shift for Monday, and then back to that 6:30 start come Tuesday.  I guess that means I'll be able to put in a couple of hours of gaming in before I actually have to do anything.  So many games I could play.... hmmmmm... I wonder what I'll do. . .
