The HMX Team Appreciation Thread

[DShiz1029]

First off can someone sticky this so this one doesnt get lost deep within the bowels of the forum. Thanks.

I feel it is important that we take the time to drop some love to the guys who are making this game possible for the rest of us.

Yeah I know we already have a thread like this, but lets sticky this one and make this one count. Sean especially has been under some stress, so we need to give him all the uplifting love we can give him (and the rest of the crew).

So without further adue

HMX, yall effing rock the socks off gamers with your crazy creations. No other game I dont think has caught on so quickly and become such a phenomenon among modern gamers than Guitar Hero. It as my mom would make fun of me and my friends for playing cute little plastic guitars...the game is nevertheless ADDICTIVE and a real boardom killer. You've only gone the distance to seriously amp up the fun with Rock Band by adding new instruments, songs, gameplay, and just overall awesomeness. So thank you HMX for rocking the gaming industry with GH and Rock Band, and the world can only await what ridiculously awesome games you come out with next!

MUCH LOVE!!!

PS: You know you are awesome when South Park makes fun of you.

I have never looked forward to a game before as I am with with this one. It's amazing what you guys as a company can do with them. Some games are just re-polished and just sent out again the next year with a few tweaks here and there, but you guys completely reinvented the genre of rhythm games.

This is a type of game that usually only existed in people's wildest imaginations, and now in one week all those daydreams of rocking out are going to be true. I've never seen a company that interacts with it's community as much as this one. There is always a quick response from someone from Harmonix or one of our great community members.

I hope all you guys and girls at Harmonix realize what you've done here and take an extreme satisfaction in how many people you've made happy, you guys deserve every bit of credit that get thrown your way. Keep up all the hard work and don't change a thing you guys are awesome.

Indeed man, I use to work on a program solo and that was hard enough. Some of these kids that complain just really don't know how hard it is to work on a game. HMX has definitely outdone themselves with this game and every little detail they put into it just shows how much they enjoy making this game. I like the fact they'll be a more community base company than "Alright we gave them what they wanted, we're getting paid. Lets go and sit on our cash" type of company. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if we got to go up against some of the HMX guys online, which would kick ass.

You guys definitely kick ass, there's no denial about that. A lot of people really do appreciate the things you do, most of them just don't come out and say it. Really, I think that's the best thing to do, knowing that you have a large fan base and people are loving the hell out of what you're doing. It gives you that little extra push to work harder and create even better things, which in turn makes the people working on the game happy and the people buying the game happy.

Anyways, thanks HMX for all your hard work :p

I have already said my opinion in today's blog, I think that sums it up pretty well. :cool:


And be sure to save some of your appreciation comments for down the pipe. I do have a couple more ideas for fan projects like the launch banner we all did. Nothing immediate, but a few months down the road, it will be great. :D

Everyone at HMX has a license to pimp! That is all there is to it....:cool:

[Jack_Harvard]

Seriously, there are few developers as vested in their fans' interests as HMX.

"For those about to create kickass games, WE SALUTE YOU!!!

:D

I'm from Canada, and not all of us are holding each and every one of you responsible for any delays to Rock Band up here. :) Stuff happens, life goes on...

Thank you so much for the wonderful games in GH, GHII and GH80s. I didn't touch my PS2 for a couple of years until I found GHII. I am looking forward to playing RB (on my PS2... I am hoping for a Wii version soon) :)

You guys are great, and talented. Thanks again.

Harmonix is amazing, making the games we've always dreamed of. Now, the most anticipated game of my whole life will be in my hands in one week. Only one target to thank: Harmonix.

Thank you all so much, all the crew, devs, community people, everyone. I have never seen a gaming company, or any company for that matter, this interactive with the public, and to respond to specific requests and preferences, and always keep us up to date directly.

I really can't express the gratitude, but you guys rock! Thanks Harmonix!

[Saltines]

Everything I want to say has been said, so il just leave it to a little HMX rules!

[blue_dragonzero]

I looked in the mirror today
My eyes just didn't seem so bright
But then my reflection said
Rock Band is almost here!

And it is gonna' Rock!

Seriously though, thanks Hmx

[McDeezy]

Being dead serious I never thought a team of such talented people would come together and make such an amazing game. I don't know how to put it into words how excited I am for this game.

[jaydajedi]

I just want to thank god and my mom for not swallowing me so I could be alive rite here rite now. one day in a few hundred years there will be no war, no disease, no hunger but thanx to HMX I'm glad to be here and now.:D besides who needs all that hippie crap if you can rock out instead.

[DShiz1029]

*bump* Sorry, I had to show some people I already made this thread.

[Eastwood]

*double bump*

How the heck did yall find so many talented people and then convince them to all work in one company together, HMX?

Nothing but love for ya!

[JB4GDI]

I loved you guys since Amplitude, and you have yet to release a game that wasn't an awesomely good time. Thanks for everything. You guys rock!
