Woah!

Today Harmonix announced Lego Rock Band. Usually, I'd be only a little thrilled about this but the songs man, the songs. Blur's "Song 2", Carl Douglas' "Kung Fu Fighting", and Europe's "The Final Countdown" have all been pre-announced. That alone is worth consideration for this game.

Yesterday you got Green Lanterns. Today, you get Red: http://dcublog.dccomics.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/bnln_redlant.jpg And Rufles the Rage Kitty, actually has a name. Check that out.

And... A bunch of people are freaking out about Emma in the Wolverine movie. Look, 1st, go catch up with the last 5 or 6 years of comics. Yes, she can turn into diamond now. 2nd, it is already seriously screwed up that she's even in this movie timeline wise, so breathe. 3rd, recently she's been a good guy (though that's changed recently, I'm given to understand) so being with this team, not so surprising. CHILL OUT, people. It isn't as if backstories and origins (especially for Mr. I'm in every comic ever Wolverine) aren't changed now and again. Sometimes you need to do that for movies or catching up with the fact that the character's last appearance was in the 60s or any number of other reasons.

Now, if you want to argue that it was done poorly and uncaringly, those arguements are different. The fact that someone changed something at all... Ehn. These things need to be a little fluid. You can't hold EVERYTHING that ever happened to a character in mind when you have 20+ years of back story. The more time that passes the more flexible you as a reader have to be about it. Deal.

And according to Wikipedia, Pink's "So What" is also on Lego rock band's song list. Hahahahaah. :)

I'm not as familiar with the song but I am happy for more girl singers.

I like her music, for the most part. And So What is of of my favorite songs by her.

Will there be more going outside the Rock genre with this one?

They've been branching out a little but mostly just into No Doubt sort of rock.

Ah. Stuff I actually know. :D

Not entirely true. I know a bit of Rock Band/Guitar Hero music. I just heard my nieces and nephews totally botch Living On a Prayer one too many times...

Did they really give a white house cat a Red Ring...and name it 'DEX-STARR'?? (And wasn't that name already taken by Dexter of 'Dexter's Laboratory' when he does the super hero thing?)

Dex-Starr is purple, and there is no creature in the universe capable of more hate than a cat.

This is truth. Also, they gave a JELLYFISH a rage ring. There is no creature LESS capable of hate than a jellyfish.

Even space jellyfish?

Bah.

I think sentient jellies would be seriously pissed off.

I say meh to you.

And I have a book for you at home. The poster wasn't ready yet.

Then I'm voting for him to be taken down by Hoppy, The Marvel Bunny.

He will always be Ruffles the Rage Kitty to me :)

I am not sure if there is NDA involved or not, but I know someone who is on the testing team for that game.

Neat! Sounds like it would be interesting.

It is. Since it was announced we can talk about it. A tad. A smidge.

I just hope everyone remembers that when they start bitching about Deadpool not having scars etc.

*chuckles* Toooooo laaaaate.

*sigh* I know. They all want Deadpool spot on but can deal with the variations that is the rest of the movie. I'm not OCD about comic based movies anymore. Hell, I'm not even OCD about comics. They've changed things around so much if I picked up a title today that I used to buy 10 years ago it'd be a whole new comic.

My motto? Just sit back and enjoy the pretty. :)

Pretty much. And while I can understand being a little grumpy about Deadpool's scarring, this is supposed to be before that anyway. At least that's the idea as I understand it.

*shrugs* I try not to judge something before I've experienced it.

Always a good plan. Besides. It's right there in the title. O-R-I-G-I-N-S ;)

I am a fan of the Lego (put game here) but unless someone's oh man i just failed that song move is to beat the crap out of another band mate with their instrument in a funny kind of way then I'm not sure about Lego Rock Band

I just want them to let Warren write ALL of Emma's lines. I just caught up on my Astonishing X-Men and I do so enjoy how he writes her.

He's quite good at it.
