Weekly HMX Dev Rock Blogs - 9/1 to 9/5 - The Passing Of A Legend

[hmxhenry]

Hey gang. The HMX Community Team made if back from PAX in one piece (except for HMXalex, but he's a leper)! We'll have some stories and photos to share by the end of the week, but in the meantime I will link you to a bittersweet Rock Blog from our very own HMXJohnlok.

http://www.rockband.com/rockers_blog_entry/HMXJohnlok/419223?redir=1

Please leave him lots of comments. It will brighten the dark corners of his desk (and his heart).

John moves to audio DLC production team.

Full Boston discography confirmed* as DLC next month!














*not confirmed

[Sayburr]

Shoot, forget that, he likes ELO, bring on some of that!

[Hungryfreak]

Congratulations, Johnlok! We'll miss your around the forums. You can always make it up to us by guaranteeing some Frank Zappa or Atheist DLC ;)

John moves to audio DLC production team.

Full Boston discography confirmed* as DLC next month!

John has good taste, Boston is amazing and we should have the full discography of Boston :D :D :D :D

[JTStevens]

I posted in John's blog but I'll make a quick post here too. It'll be a shame to lose his presence on the boards but best of luck to him for sure.

Let's all be nice and not overwhelm him with e-mails for DLC requests. ;)

[thetrout]

Good luck, John! In the immortal words of your beloved Boston, don't look back!

[redlummada]

Gool luck John, we'll miss you on the forums. Keep your spirits high and your high scores higher!

[Runa216]

Remind me again why he can't go on the forums just cuz he's not part of the community team...? johnlok is awesome! keep him on the boards!

[osteofight]

Geez from the title I thought someone died lol

[JetWolf]

Remind me again why he can't go on the forums just cuz he's not part of the community team...? johnlok is awesome! keep him on the boards!

My interpretation was that he can come to the boards, he simply can't speak on behalf of the community team any longer.

And I certainly hope he chooses to drop in now and then. Don't make us miss you too much, JLok!

[Sveppi]

Congrats Johnlok :)

[davidshek]

Geez from the title I thought someone died lol

Yeah really, I thought it was going to be a blog about how upset JohnLok was about the passing of Don LaFontaine...

[darknessmoon]

Lol, I thought the same thing!

HMX - Hear you go John. Use this.
HMXJohnlok - What's this?
HMX - ...the banhammer... It gives you POWER!

HMX - Oh no! We can't keep the forums under control. Everything seems to be crumbling! Where the hell is John?!
HMXsean - He's on his way... For the love of GOD, PLEASE HURRY!

"In this forum, you must fight to survive, and only 1 man has the power to rescue you from evil"

HMX - John, you've done a magnificent job with the forums. We've decided to move you on up to the Audio team.
HMXJohnlok - Great! But, what about the banhammer...?
HMX - We're taking that back from you, and giving it to someone else. Don't worry though, he's an able commander.
::HMXJohnlok turns around::
HMXHenry - Hey... John...
HMXJohnlok - NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[dethklok]

[woofmix]

I wish I had a promotion

or a job

[Maherj]

Sad that I won't get to see any IB4Johnlok in posts anymore :( Good luck John, and thanks for all your help.

[Der_Lex]

Awww, man... you were always my favorite dev to bug by e-mail, John! Of course, I can still do that now... and it'll be all the more annoying because I know you don't even have the answers I'm looking for! *evil laughter*

Seriously, though, hope you'll enjoy your new position in the company. And don't be a stranger round these here parts.

[aer0kid]

was John the only developer who released a blog this week?

[churnek]

Haha loved the leprosy humor!
