Some of you may or may not know that Harmonix launched the brand new rockband.com a few weeks back.

While the site is still in beta, some of the more awesome features they announced have become available. Namely, the ability to take pictures of your custom rockers and bands, and to use said photos to make your own merchandise. T-shirts, buttons, key chains, posters; all are available at your fingertips.



Supremely Subpar L-R: Fumiko Yoshida, Rupe, Franz Grüber

All you need to do is create an account, then link your profile to your copy of the game (I did mine a few weeks back, but I remember it taking less than a minute).
Once you're set, pick a character or band, choose their body and facial poses, a background, a filter (b&w, sepia, etc), and you're good to go.



Needs moar crane kicks

This is one of the greatest community features ever implemented in a game (imo), and i can't wait to see all the virtual Dtoid rockers out there.


Post script: I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Cutie Honey for being born with an excess of awesome. The custom Rock Band cards he created are so full of win, my head hurts just thinking about it.
