ok. hopefully, that backup i just found isn't RB'd.
it isn't a perfect match for the original, as it starts just at the fight scene, and then proceeds just past where the original cuts, but it's as close as i've been able to find so far.

now, if i could just figure out why it isn't actually showing up in my Unsifted Videos...

Screw NASCAR and driving simulators...clearly they are a terrible analogy and basically a thread derail.
Clearly. And I agree with you that RB is great for drums. If they'd only make RB work with real instruments - I'd have had a heck of a lot more fun learning instruments as a kid.


Well, with RB3, supposedly you can hook up any MIDI keyboard to play the piano parts. Not sure exactly how fully functional it will be, but I'm excited because I've been trying to teach myself piano for quite a while. I can't stand the monotony of practicing simple stuff to get better, but I think once there's a game attached I'll be able to stick with it long enough to be able to mess around and make my own sounds.

Also, the RB3 pro mode guitar or whatever is a real guitar...supposedly the only difference is that the neck is thicker so it can house the electronics that detect where your fingers are.

I've kinda wanted to buy a console for a while but could never justify it...these new RB3 features might finally sell me.

Look, the point is you don't know this guy doesn't play in a band and just uses RB for practice/conditioning/fun when his band is doing other stuff? Maybe his band broke up? Shit, you have no idea, so making comments saying you should learn real instruments are pretty pointless.

Seems like a good way to build up your endurance/timing to me, even if it somehow doesn't translate directly into actual drum kit skills. Obviously as stated above, this works for drummers and not anything else (until RB3 gets the guitar/piano closer to the real thing). As a thing that allows you to practice and grades you, what better thing exists?

Yes, it's beneficial to learn to read/write music, but IMO that isn't too hard...I started learning in 5th grade. Sure maybe it's harder to pick up as an adult, but wtf...it's just a specific written code for certain sounds. It's not magic. Furthermore, why should traditional written sheet music have a monopoly on the communication of musical concepts for all eternity? There are thousands of languages/dialects in the world that all have different ways of communicating the same things.

I'm out of practice, but I can read music. For my brain and the way it works, RB's style of displaying drum beats speaks to me in a different (and possibly better) way...a way sheet music cannot.

Oh man the memories this brought back...awesome sift. The 100% is ridiculous as well.

ummm.... "Practical"..... theres only so much ja can do with 30 seconds flight time.....

so.. i'd call it "functional", but kinda useless....
