More musings on Rock Band
Polish Hill \| 2:38 PM on 12.09.2007	5 comments

As I sit here composing my first blog post accompanied by my horribly stretched, non-banner image above I wonder. Who the hell was in charge of stress testing the instruments?

Within the first week of play our band, Fancy Hat, broke the guitar strum bar. No big deal, it was terribly constructed. After a week of confusion and receiving two boxes for the guitar it was finally shipped back. Hooray consumerism, hooray EA for making the process relatively painless.

And then two days ago the kick pedal broke. The plastic just clean snapped right through. Obviously the strum bar and kick pedal are going to receive some of the worst beatings out of all the instruments so how did this happen? Clearly EA must be shitting the bed having to replace all these instruments and pay for shipping.

I love the game and I love rocking out but holy Raptor Jesus I'm just waiting for the mic to break from an intense session of cowbell. Anyone have me an explanation?

Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

Poorly contstructed peripherals is the explanation, simple as that. This is why I'm glad I have my Les paul so I can still play guitar at least if something breaks, most likely I'll be using the Les paul regardless of if it's broken or not.

Lethal Dosage

I have no explanation, as my instruments work perfectly, and have since November 20th.

All my peripherals have been working so far, thank Jebus. I'm actually surprised as I straight up rape my drum kit while playing 'Won't Get Fooled Again'. My drum kit though does have that 'worn' feel/sound, which sounds really good to my ears and I bang the drums.

Yea I was just happy the guitar lasted a week and wasn't broke out of the box. Still upset that I have to deal with getting a new guitar but at least its not an isolated incident.

Glad to hear you guys aren't having problems though. I'm sure the broken instrument crowd is the more vocal one.

35 pages or so of posts on the Rock Band forums would confirm that assumption.
