[esquehill]

Please feel free to add me in; my wii fc and dlcquickplay info is in sig.
Usually on 10-12M eastern us, playing bass. I'll paw through the posts
here, and add everyone in wii-land. (...and if I could just turn off the
whanging kaleidoscopic screensavers and strobe effects... sheesh.)

[DayzeeDee]

Hey Mike thanks! Good to see a familiar face here ^_^

[esquehill]

Hey Shannon you already have me as a friend on RB3 ... its alright I've got too many names between RB2, RB3 and this site lol.

Yeah DC, no gold icon i guess! I will never forget that time we did the ESL together... 3rd try no disconnect but we sure were nervous when we got to Painkiller! That was fun...

And Mike, you know you can't post in this thread unless you pickup a copy of RB3 for Wii...

[RobotMom]

Ok good, not the only person over 30 here!
Anyway, totally new to the forums, but not new to Rock Band at all. I haven't ever played online, and am not even sure if I can due to latency (satellite internet, big fun), but I am willing to attempt it. Have any of you ever tried online play with satellite? My kids just don't seem as interested in RB as they used to be, and playing alone gets a tad boring after a while.
Also, how do you look up your friend code? The name I use on RB3 is T-M Family, just not sure how to look upt he friend code to give online play a try.

Welcome, RobotMom! To find your Wii console code, from the Main Menu on your Wii click on the mail link on the lower right hand side of the screen. Then click the little Write Msg icon and scroll over to your address book. On the front cover of the address book, you should see your own console code. Add the console codes of other players into your address book and then when they add you, they'll show up in RB3 automagically.

Adding you, Shannon! I have quite a long list of RB3 friends now, but most nights when I check it hardly anybody is online. Maybe I am playing too late at night or maybe people aren't hitting "Play Online"?

Hello people,how's everybody doing??
I'm still on the fence about buying the game,been busy doing the "real" band thing.Good to see some familiar faces still around! So how is it?? Worth the investment?? Winter is coming and I'll have a little more time on my hands,so I figured I'd get some of your opinions before I took the plunge.

[QUOTE=madillma;4180609]Added John and Archie, hope to see you online soon.

One BIG difference with RB3 is it's real easy to forget to make yourself available for online play. In RB2 you had to specifically choose "Play Online" or "Play Local" but with RB3, it's local by default. After you select your profile, make sure you choose "Play Online" from the menu in order to show up as available in RB3.

Well that explains a lot! I will do that next time,lol. I guess no more character messages either?
Shannon- I will add you when I get on next.
Dayzeedee-did you post your code?
John- I will always remember"The esl that almost wasn't"
Robotmom- when you fire up your wii,click on the envelope at the bottom.Then click on your address book and your number will come up.
Jammer- good to see you."Real band", you lucky dog! Yes get rb3! It has been the most fun playing badly that I have had.

I'm up for playing Friday if anyone wants to, not sure when yet.

[archibald]

Jammer! I think it is worth it, the changes are enough to make it a whole new experience. And it is nice to use a high capacity SD card and not have to mess with any of the 4MB trick bullcrap.

I can play Friday after 10:30PM.

[RobotMom]

Thanks for the help, I am so clueless with all this still

Wii code: 7007-7697-1973-0117
Wii profile name: T-M Family
Feel free to add me. Again, not sure if I can play with my latency-filled connection, but I would like to at least try.

I play mostly guitar/bass and vocals: H-X, it really depends on the song. I can't sing this new stuff that I have never heard of, but I can muddle through on Med. And for some reason I can NOT sing Dead Kennedy songs at all .
I am still getting to know the keys, but I play Pro, not the regular modes, mostly E-H
And I am not plugging my drums in until New Order is available for Wii users And even then, I suck outloud on the drums and can't make it past Medium on 99% of the songs.
I have quite a bit of DLC, and also have The Beatles, and RB2.
