Dojo Info 4/18/09

1. GameSpy’s Ultimate Rock Band Wishlist (X360)
   There are some great songs in this list. I wonder if GameSpy has any pull with the folks at Rock Band? I’d love more Muse and any bit song from Zepplin would be massive.
2. Rock Band 2: Rated
   For some reason I forgot to post this back in August and the shortcut has been hiding on my desktop ever since. These guys took the time to rank each song by difficulty for each instrument. Killer!
3. D&D Co-Creator Dead At 61
   Dungeons and Dragons is such a cool concept. It got a bad rap from the general public due to the fringe extremists who turned their lives upside-down because of the game, but the game itself was brilliant.
4. Rock Band Picks Up Styx, REO Speedwagon
   Now you’re talking! And, “No” I’m not an old fogy.
5. Valve Details Next Week’s Left 4 Dead Survival Pack
   It’s not much, but it’s something. I’d rather have a whole new mission! Yip!

Amazon Offering Video Game Downloads w/ Trial

We’re not talking about Left 4 Dead here, but there are 600 games under $10 to check out on Amazon’s new Game Download Store.

Head over and check it out. These games may not be Tower Defense or Galactrix but there are a couple of good ones there.

Dojo Info 11/13/08

1. Watch 15 Minutes of Left 4 Dead
   Man! This game is going to be simply frightening!
2. Harmonix: Rock Band 2 and Guitar Hero World Tour Not Competing
   What kind(s) of drugs is Mr. Teasdale taking? This is a Marketing 101 prime example of products competing, uh, yeah.
3. Your 20 Free Rock Band Songs *Are* Coming, Eventually
   They better, or they’ll suffer the wrath of (dramatic music) “Paladin!!” Or, maybe they’ll just take their own sweet time with it. Update: They’re here! Phooey on me for taking too long to post this Dojo Info.
4. Pollsters Inflated Obama Lead
   Are polls inaccurate? Of course. Are they purposefully misleading? It wouldn’t surprise me.
5. Picking up where an angel left off
   People like Debbie O’Daniels are heroes; not self-absorbed, teenage pop stars. Where did we lose our sense of goodness? If anyone finds it, share it with the rest of us.
6. Final Chapter For Circuit City?
   You can only ignore good customer service for so long. Some years back I had to complain to the store manager about the poor service I received and their response was so pitiful, I rarely gave them any business after that. Wow. I hope capitalism doesn’t completely disappear given our trend towards socialism.
7. Democratic legislators ask state Supreme Court to void Prop. 8
   Right. And after this fails to reverse the will of the people the gay lobby will turn to their friends in the Courts. It matters not what our democracy determines, only what they want… which is really strange when you see the data that shows their relationships are far more ‘short-term’ than hetero relationships. I guess it’s not marriage they want after all but an attempt to have their behavior officially stamped as legitimate by society.
8. The 50 Best Rock & Roll Video Games of All Time
   Rolling Stone falls further into irrelevancy with this list. *yawn*
