Not much happening around here. For various reasons The Band (name pending) hasn't practiced lately. There was a birthday dinner with parents, then a sick band member, then someone working overtime on the weekend. It's ok though - I don't think anyone's avoiding the band or bored with it or anything. I mean it sucks - I wish I could play, but the time will come. I am thankful for the time I've had playing so far.
The good news is that I can still play Rock Band, which I love to do. RB has a score tracking mechanism called gold stars - to make a long story short, it stands for "really good job, almost perfect". So I decided to try and gold star as many songs as possible. I'm up to about 1/3 of my catalog now. There's a cool website I use to track this stuff - you can see my profile here.
It says there's 11 songs I haven't beaten, but that's a clerical error. There's really only 5 or 6. A bit of explanation about the graphic above - 5 stars means you did pretty well on the song. 100% is obviously, you hit 100% of the notes. FC means you never broke your combo - that is, in addition to hitting every note on the chart, you never hit a note when there wasn't one.
Anyways, I'm not trying to brag about how awesome I am. Just wanted to say - RB2 has goals I can work toward. I know that when I gold star a new song it means I'm getting better. It is a good reason for me to keep practicing and playing (besides being fun, of course!). Hopefully next week we'll get back to practicing.

I don't understand what you mean by clerical error, what isn't it counting?
ReplyDeleteDue to the method I used to mass-upload a bunch of my high scores, there were a few scores that got missed (the case where my score wasn't in the top 20,000). I just haven't gotten around to manually filling these in yet (I know I'm lazy).
