...where the kids are all chanting in the streets?

Wouldn't it be awesome if we ALL went to Boston and did the same thing for Rock Band the night before release?

I'd be careful. Boston might get suspicious and blow you up.

Remember when parental groups were boycotting stores that sold this game. Also, I miss techno... I really do a little.....I need glow sticks.

I still have the game and a Genesis to play it. (blood code is ABACABB)...

Why do I still remember that? Also, who's driving the carpool to Boston?

didn't the sega version had the blood in there by default?? can't remember...I had the crapy SNES version where they changed the blood for "Sweat" (as they mentioned in a "Nintendo Power" issue somewhere back then). ohhh those where the days.....:rolleyes:

No, the Sega version had nothing by default, but everyone knew the blood code, which made it better than the SNES one. Well, it did when I was thirteen anyway.

Wasn't a big deal with mine, They knew I wasn't going to go out and try to duplicate ripping someones head off of their body (even though I could).

AHHH!!!! That commercial is classic! I love it, and the idea of doing that for RB in Boston. If you're actually game for doing this for real, I'd probably be too, I mean, I live in PA, so I'm fairly close to MA. That'd be kool if HMX picked this idea up and actually made this a real commercial for the game. Awesome idea, Xzyliac. :D

We could definitely go and do this outside of Harmonix, it would be awesome!

I liked this one alot better. And does anyone notice how better the characters were in this commercial rather than the movie?

Here's what we do:

Determine a meeting place (preferably a parking lot), get a huge crowd and march through the streets screaming Rock Band. Then we stop marching at the Harmonix building and the bands of Harmonix play on the rooftop!

Damn I can see it now. Can you say "Better than Halo launch"?

Sounds kool man! Lol, this is hilarious how we're actually trying to do this. It's gonna be so funny. Hell, maybe they'll let us come in and play RB when we get to HMX. :D

Sean, Heather, Matt, you guys seeing this?

You guys want a revolution? You wanna bring the rock experience to the world? Thoughts?

Do you realize how awesome and historical this could be? Awesome.

You can all stay at my place afterwards. I'm within walking distance of Harmonix

Party at Eman's!

Seriously this could be incredible. Honestly I would get this to work if Harmonix would cooperate. Maybe not this exactly (though that'd be just plain perfect) but some insane, imaginitive, celebration.

well it's great and all, but it's not like I can just show up at will.

Although I do have an intership coming up next semester, I might see if they're looking

Ha, you're funny. HA! ;) Nah, just curious 'cause it's rare to find anybody that plays GH and goes to the forums or even knows what the hell RB is around here, well except for people that work at GS or somewhere, so, yeah.
