Hey everybody,

Sorry for the spam. Hopefully it's more tolerable when a staff member does it.

This upcoming Saturday (August 24th), I'm gonna be joining No Cartridge host Trevor Strunk live on stage at Caveat NYC for an episode focused on Rock Band and the music games genre. We're gonna be playing a bit on stage, and we'll also be talking about how Rock Band became both a focal point of my professional life, and a way to keep up my interest in playing music when I wasn't playing in bands. Trevor's a great host and always brings about a lively discussion. If you haven't heard me on the show before, check out the episode I did on the Fire Pro Wrestling series a while back.

If you're in the NYC area and want to come through, tickets are $12 in advance, and $15 at the door. Show kicks off at 7pm. You can find out more info here:

Hope to see some of y'all there!

@kingpk: If it's anything like the PC version, you actually can edit characters you've downloaded, it just takes an extra step. Essentially, go into the character creator, and copy one of the downloaded models over to a new creation, then save it. From there you can edit and tweak the wrestlers any way you like.

Fundamentally disagree with anyone who says the G1 is too long. If anything, it should be longer.

@nodima: Apart from Vinny occasionally pointing me in a direction when I'm lost and giving me a bit of context when an event happens or a character first appears, he's been good about letting me discover stuff for myself. I think he's more than capable of keeping his enthusiasm in check.

@bisonhero: Kirby's Epic Yarn is a better game than Detroit.

My best to Cameron, you, and your family, and here's hoping for a speedy recovery.
