Occulence

A man chooses, a slave obeys

Alex - Harmonix has been such an influence on my life ever since I played Guitar Hero on a random school day like 8 years ago. I was introduced to so much new music via GH and RB, and became "The Rockband Guy" at my college because I had all the instruments and a lot of songs. I had a really shitty summer last year and drunk nights filled with rapping No Sleep Till Brooklyn (rip MCA) helped me get through. The Beatles are in my top five bands so having a game dedicated to them really made me smile, and Green Day is my absolute favorite, so I lost my shit when GD RB came out, especially because their music has helped me so much in life. Finally HMX and their community outreach PR from guys like John Drake got me to focus on looking at the video game industry as a potential job post grad school.

I have three questions. Also this is totally the first AMA Ive ever asked anything in, so be proud :)

1) Did the Rockband Forum Thread "Fake Steven Tyler wont stop singing with me!" ever make it to your attention? I started it and it blew up way more then I meant it to lol.

2) I am crazy excited for Fantasia: Music Evolved, do you think even though Microsoft isn't pushing Kinect as a 100% required peripheral that other devs like HMX will commit and take risks to make innovative, great Kinect titles?

3) And finally, ultimately what has been so dear to my heart - will we ever see a Rockband: Reunion on the Xbox One/PS4? In any capacity? Even if the dlc doesnt transfer over, I just hope one day I can comeback on stage for one final curtain call...

Until then Ill always have my 1800+ songs on my 360 ready for playing all the time.

Thanks for this, you and HMX are amazing.

Quadruptle time!
