    Wait a minute. It turns out that the walrus was Paul.

    Any word on downloadable Rutles songs? Because if I can play Rutles songs, they've got a sale.

    I really wish Rock Band would add a keyboard and maybe even a Saxophone. Those will come with the Depeche Mode and Bob Seger editions, I guess.

    @TrollSlayer: they'ev considered keyboards for a long time but the thing is there's no reduceable technique to it. every instrument they offer allows for a lot of easy gameplay for parties and then scalable into very difficult gameplay. Keyboarding is pretty much hard at any level and un fun until you start to grasp it.

    @logicalnoise: Why couldn't you similarly reduce the pitch set to a handful of notes? You could play them in rhythm, but instead of playing the actual notes (wherever they fall on the full keyboard), you would play a corresponding note in a limited pitch set that would reflect higher and lower.


    At its most basic, you could reduce all pitches to one - essentially tapping out the rhythm on a single note.


    Beyond that, you could add additional notes... 2, 3, and on up, scalable to an octave and beyond.


    You could also have notes on the keyboard light up when they should be played, like a lot of "learning-oriented" synths already do.

    in all seriousness though, who has money for all these peripherals for this game. I love RB2 as much as the next guy, or maybe even more, but cmon, $100 each? I'll wait to buy the set next Christmas when it's $150 for everything.

    @mat1cs: I'll make you travel-sized.: Every time someone says "for me to poop on" to complete another person's sentence, I imagine the voice being somewhat like Triumph the Insult Dog, and then I laugh.

    Tempting but my actual-factual Gretsch Electromatic Jet says nay. It's like picking up the LP controller after playing with an actual Les Paul. A downer...

    @OMG! Ponies!:


    christ, please don't start in with the, "Not as great as my REAL blah blah blah". It's nearly as creepy and lame as someone saying, "Gah, I hate these stealth ninja games! These kiddy games will never capture the true feeling of wrapping a garrote around someone!"


    Don't be that guy, guy.

    @Scopitone: Yeah. And Shinobi doesn't capture the essence of garroting someone.


    Similarly, Burger Time ruined me for working at In&Out and I found Donkey Kong to be nothing like working on an actual construction site.

    Furthermore, Mario Brothers does not present a realistic picture of what it's like to work for the Department of Water & Sanitation.

    Also, neither Centipede nor Millipede show what it's like to be an exterminator.

    @OMG! Ponies!: The original Mario Bros. may not have Bullet Bills, but you can get attacked by a hemorrhoid flareup if it takes you to long to clear out the pipes.
