Rock Blog Wednesday 08/01/07

[hmxsean]

It's what? Wednesday? Man, this is one of them weeks where my head is already spinning. it is insane. Folks are working really hard right now and most of us are afraid to go outside as there are far too many people asking you to sign some political/ecological thing, asking for money, trying to give you free breakfast bars, or trying to harass you about what ever hallucination they are currently experiencing out on the block today. I have worked in this square for a while now but it is starting to get out of control. Which is saying a lot because it never really was in control.

Thinking about starting up doing a profile each week on a different HMX employee. How they got here. What they do. That sort of thing. How would that go over, would you dig that? Who would you want to hear about first?

Playing this (http://www.sharkrunners.com).

We only have one dev blog today, but that is way better than none I'd wager! We have Moss who is working on his super hot single for the cold months. You should check it out. I'm also going to link to a fan blog today. I'd like to give a shout out to Angry_Game's epic blog that covers a lot of territory in a lot of words. Check it out - it has pictures of hockey players, he tries to insult me a couple times but can't pull the trigger on it (I have one of those faces), and he name drops Wasteland.

Moss has soulful lyrics. (http://www.rockband.com/index.php?do=/public/blog/view/id_374/)

Angry_Games manifesto of sorts

I'd definatley be down for HMX employee bios...It would help further my stalking immensely, it would really become an indispensable tool. No need to leave anyone out or set any particular order...you're all on the list...


(the absence of a smiley is for dramatic effect, so you might all still wonder if maybe I'm serious...did it work?)

Weekly bios would be cool. My vote? Helen! I still have a terrible crush (obsession?) from GHII.

[Eman311]

HMX bios would be pretty damn cool.

[NorrenRadd]

I would really like the Bio feature as well. As an Engineer coming out of college soon, I'd like some tidbits on how employees in the game business get their start.

I'm a senior in high school and would REALLY like to know what the 3d modelers did to get where they are. I mean everything, from the day they graduated high school to now.

Happy 1st of August

August 1st, one more month closer to Rock Band!

Awesome blogs today, even though there was only one, and a fan blog, they were really good reads, a little long, but very nice.

I think HMX bios would be a great idea, I would love to hear about everyone and anyone. I think it is only fair that you do the first one though Sean.

Angry Games blog was awesome.... i feel his passion for Rock Band. I would also like to say that its because of guitar hero that i have begun to learn how to play a REAL guitar !

[JB4GDI]

Yeah! Harmonix bios would be awesome! Pick anyone who's not overloaded with work during crunch time, hehe.

I'd definitely read HMX bios.

[Angry_Games]

I'm definitely down with bio stuff. I always like to hear especially what games devs really loved and influenced them to make the games they are now making (too many makings making this post turn bad).

plus it gives me all kinds of things to make fun of devs about (I'm still trying to insult Sean but he keeps blocking my attempts...wtf?)

but please don't read Angry Losers (my Live username, but Microsoft has my 360 for another zillion weeks being fixed grrrr) nonsense, it just makes him write more inane trash


PS I just wrote a whole bunch more nonsense, and I don't want to jack this thread, but everyone who likes Disturbed should really read this last one:

Especially Harmonix. It's not as long as my other diatribes. I promise. You'll like it.

Do the bios!!!
That would be awesome to hear of the dark and nasty realms of HMX beginnings!

[Smidget]

ThePaska, here's Seans (in relation to working at HMX): Sean's "how did I get here?" (http://www.rockband.com/index.php?do=/public/user/blogs/view/name_hmxsean/id_145/)

HMX employee profiles would be schweet. Pictures with each one would be rad but some people aren't down with that (yo) so when it is cool, it would be rad. Who first...perhaps Canfield? He seems to be doing some work I'm interested in.

[jordanbeard]

weekly profiles would be cool
(I added nothing new with that comment)

[tf5_bassist]

one more vote for bios/profiles/stalker-friendly posts.

:D
