Sluggo, is it a personal restraint thing, or is there a way to turn off pausing so you don't accidentally hit it. I know I've dropped a drum stick from time to time and hit the xbox button, and if that happened during an endlist setlist run for this achievement, I would have soggy drumsticks from the river of tears.

In other news, though, congrats on your already stellar achievements. Good luck.

oh wow..nice job on the endless setlist on vocals. I am surprised your voice is not fried...or is it?

That achievement is unreal...6 hours and 14 minutes non-stop? They must be nuts!

My voice barely feels like I've done anything taxing. For Rock Band singing, I rarely belt stuff out -- I can sing softly in key, as I've found singing at full volume is actually harder to maintain pitch at.

I've very disappointed that none of my vocal scores are on the leaderboards today. I dunno why -- 99% most of my guitar scores are from World Tour, and they showed up, but according to the leaderboards, I haven't done a song on vocals, even though all my scores are recorded on the Quickplay list, all 16 million points of them. :P

I did not hit the pause button or guide button once during the run. I was actually very nervous that I'd do it by accident. Here's a checklist of things I did before I started:

- made sure I was happy with calibration
- put fresh batteries in controller; didn't want to have a controller to disconnect mid-run
- put key items in easy reach: cell phone, bottle of Propel, hoodie, laptop with IRC, box of tissues (sneezing probably cost me 2 FCs, hehe). It's 6 hours, so plan accordingly.
- hit the bathroom, of course

I did make one bladder break three hours in, during Lazy Eye, song #40/84. I didn't pause -- I just let the game run during the massive solo. I just lost points for the percussion stuff and I still got the FC.

So is the Platinum artist and all that still around after the ESL is done?

ah..see..I never stopped to think about singing softly to save your voice for the 6 hour marathon!

it can't be that hard to test to see if the xbl button pausing trick will work or not...just load it up and hit it on the first song and see what happens.

Let us know if you have time to try sluggo. it will be awhile before most of us get far enough to unlock the endless setlist I am sure.

you have 1st by 5 million you tank

I wonder actually if anyone will try the guide button, because its not actually "pausing" but it does stop the game...
I'll be willing to try after I get the 4 achievements, but saying that is a lot easier then doing it, I dunno, we'll see

Actually, as of tonight, Billtv is also past 16 million, and is only about 200-300k behind me. I expect I'll get passed soon.

But unlike guitar, where I know I'll quickly slip and eventually settle somewhere in the 50-100 range, I think I could actually stay competitive on vocals for a while. I'm up to 77/84 FC's already and know I can get 5-6 more. (I'm curious to see if the talkie in One Way or Another is indeed busted -- I can't make it budge at all.)

And my lead in Fans actually held up today, which shocked me, since Fans are pretty easy to rack up. I wouldn't be surprised if someone had 500 million fans by next weekend.

I also take it that the ES is in word tour mode as well? Just trying to make sure I'm not doing WT for no reason. Any idea how many stars, fans, city to unlock it. Is there still a HoF set? I miss my clear bass...

Hey Sluggo, so even though characters are no longer binded to one instrument you'll still only get the platinum icon for the whichever instrument you beat the Endless Setlist on?

**sluggo** · Joined: 07 Nov 2006 Posts: 850

Yes, I only have the platinum microphone icon. If I want the others, I'll have to play the ES2 three more times. :P

Also, thanks to some tips from Bill and RockLi, I actually hit the talkie in One Way Or Another today for the FC. Which means I just have Painkiller and Tangled for 84 FCs.
