Yeah, it's random, but it's the name we all agreed on. M4S: Okay, someone give me a word. Person: Uh... Lightning. *M4S shakes his head* M4S: ...Lightning Lampshade? Everyone: *Laughs* Me: Hey, we could name our band that! Cool: Yeah, that could work. Maltese: *Says something agreeing to it* And at some point later... Me: Hey, Corey, would you go to a concert by a band called "Lightning Lampshade"? Corey: ... Me: Like, if you knew nothing about them, would you go see a concert? Corey: Well, if I knew nothing about them, why would I care? Me: What if your friends thought they were a good band? Corey: Who the hell cares what my friends think? Me: ...What if they were paying for your ticket? Corey: If they were paying for my ticket, yeah, I'd go. Shit, I'd go see a concert by a band called "We Suck Ass" if my friend was paying for my ticket. Me: Hey, maybe that should be our band name. Everyone: *Laughs* Or something to that effect. |

This is also a topic about how much ass Rock Band's World Tour mode will kick. As in, literally, there are months of gameplay to be had in it. Possibly years. This game's world tour mimics how a real band comes to fame. First it plays at small venues, gets rated highly (Stars), and gains fans. When you get enough cash, you can actually go out and buy a van to tour to other cities across the world until you can eventually buy a jet to fly to other fooking COUNTRIES. Each individual city available has at least 3 venues, and several challenges for each one, each challenge able to net you extra fans and higher ratings, and even more money. You can play randomly picked songs from all the songs you've played before, at least 2, with no upward limit, and play them without a break all in a row. You can even play EVERY SONG IN THE GAME WITHOUT A BREAK. There's even a premade set list which comprises of you playing constantly for 6 hours. Yes, real hours, without a break. And that goes for everyone. And this is just the career. |

IGN's band is named Ignorant Sluts? How VERY appropriate. |

Just in case you didn't know, that's a randomly generated name. |

Even better. It's still VERY appropriate. Though they should have capitalized the G and the N to make it even MORE appropriate. |

Did you notice that in some venues, your band name will make it's appearance? Such as in one picture, in the background, it says in neon "Ignorant Sluts". This game's going to be awesome. >_> |

*Bumps topic* Cool needs this:
M4S needs this:
That's how you activate "Star Power" in Rock Band. "Star Power" is called Overdrive and it does lots and lots of new things. 1. It instantly brings back in a member who failed. If a failed member isn't brought back in, the entire band will fail the song in about 30 seconds. You cannot bring back in a person who has failed more than twice. 2. It increases the overall band score multiplier. 0 users: 1x multiplier 1 user: 2x multiplier 2 users: 4x multiplier 3 users: 6x multiplier all 4 users: 8x multiplier So if everyone uses Overdrive at once, it causes epic score increases. 3. It does what star power does, but for everyone. If the bassist uses Overdrive, the lead guitarist benefits as well. |

If everyone uses Overdrive at once, Maltese gets 24x score. Holy crap. >_> |

Wait a minute. No. Maltese gets 48x multiplier with a full streak and everyone using Overdrive. Everyone else gets... 32x. Wow, that's a hell of a lot of points. |

Sweet jebus, the sheer amount of points from that would be absurd. Wait... why's the Bass guitar get extra multipliers? |

The bass gets x6 at maximum. Maybe because they have the boring easy part, so they can hold a streak more easily, so they can get the most points. Or maybe it's to compensate for the achievement where you have to FC a song on Expert with up-strums only on Bass. >_> |
