Totally had a "Oh THAT song with Tell Me Something Good" after listening to it. Rest of the picks this week are cool, too. I'm not surprised to not see Fight For Your Right to Party, but I AM a bit surprised we didn't get Intergalactic.

crazy on you or magic man would've been excellent choices, barracuda not so much. It has fun drums, but crazy on you sounds more fun personally.

Both of those would have been sweet, but after giving Make Some Noise a listen, I'm down with it. Eclectic week, will wait a bit to see how reaction to the fun level is. Whatever happened to rbdlc.com?

People stopped using it. It was tapering off in the months before RB3, then around when RB3 released, reviews pretty much stopped. Most songs would sit on the site without ratings, let alone written reviews. They updated it for the first few weeks of RB3 DLC, then slacked off with updating, then stopped making blog posts, then eventually the site was just taken down. The interest level obviously didn't justify the hosting costs/effort.
I wish it had maintained a good userbase, because I thought it was a really solid site and a solid idea. But most of the functionality is integrated with DLCquickplay, and I think they basically told everyone to go there instead. It's a great site. |

The decline happened when they closed the forums. Then some regulars stopped coming around, people couldn't contact the admin about issues, and he gave up. Even the other admins started bailing.
I always thought it was a cool sight, and it's a shame it's gone, else I'd have moved all my reviews over to DLCQuickplay.

Super Bad, Pts. 1 & 2 trill lanes can go die in a fire. Anyone fans of them? You get TWO solos filled with it, the 2nd one is even BETTER than the 1st one

I like them on Keys, where I feel they work better than on guitar.
But yeah, I saw a video of Superbad on regular keys. I don't think I've seen so many trill lanes before. |

So, I played all this week's songs.
NSTB's guitar chart is basically perfect by my standards. Like, the solos are authored so that they capture the batshit randomness of Kerry King's soloing style while still not being excessively stupid or unfun to play, and then the rest of the song you'd have to be pretty fucking stupid to screw up so I don't really need to mention it.
Make some Noise has a super fun looking pro keys part (even if it isn't that hard).
Tell Me Something Good was a little slow-paced, but had some pretty fun patterns on guitar, so it was all around enjoyable.
Super Bad is definitely the hardest James Brown song on guitar, and relatively fun (if you like funk-style guitar, like I do).
Barricuda is a pretty good guitar chart. Nothing stuck out at me as being "off" or "wrong" or anything like that. Just good, solid authoring and fun to play. |

Yup, gonna have to agree with that. I haven't played it (no points, no money for points) but from the video it looks great.

That's a big part of it, but it's not the whole story. I used to run the blog side of it (Kyle A. was what I posted as), and what essentially put me over the edge was something that happened last April. In March 2010 or so, I tossed Chris (the site's admin) the idea of formally integrating the site as a business so that we could fly out to E3 in June and, presumably, cover RB3 and members of the press. I'd looked over the preliminary qualifications for getting licensed as such, and we already had most of the pieces in place- a site dedicated to a singular gaming topic, regular updates, a decent userbase that met E3's minimum (the last time I'd checked, we had around 5000 unique visitors per month), and most of the little details shy of the actual paperwork.
He seemed receptive to the idea at first, but after a while he stopped responding entirely. Right around the third week of April- which was inching fairly close to the registration deadline- I sent him six e-mails over the course of two weeks, all without a reply. This was all in addition to songs taking a week or more to show up on the main page, no desire on his part to update the stie's Spartan (to a fault) look, and dwindling votes/reviews on the actual songs when they did show up. It was like running into a brick wall, and after a while I figured that it just wasn't worth the time and effort that I was putting into it every day.

| Wow what the fuck, Super Bad on Standard Keys. You took what looks like fun scales on Pro Keys, and turned it into THAT. Not only that, but because of Troll Lanes now I can't even buy the song >_> |

Super Bad on pro keys is all glissando notes (the solos, anyway). It actually makes sense to me. They're charting basically random saxophone wankery, with all sorts of note bends and weird screeches and little sense of melody, rhythm, or purpose. So they just authored all glissandos running across the board in weird patterns so you can essentially feel all that randomness, without having to hit every single note exactly (which would be insane). Because glissando notes don't exist in 5-lane keys (we've all been irritated by an incredibly fast glissando authored as a super fast scale that's hard to hit in 5 lanes), they author it all to trill lanes, which is the next best thing. Since it would be INCREDIBLY STUPID to force anybody to try to play what that saxophonist is doing, note for note, either melodically or rhythmically.
I'm actually 100% in favor of creative charting like that, and I approve of this song so hard. |
