News and announcements from That Authoring Group

[TubaDude49]

Did you guys say you wanted a contest? Boy have we got one for you!

First the bad news :

To win this contest you'll have to prove your mettle in a TAG "Endless set list" featuring THIRTY of our songs in one play list!

Thirty songs you say? THIRTY?!? Yep 30. BUT the spoils that go to the victor will be well worth going through the set list.

First up :

You'll get a signed copy of Rishloo's "Feathergun" album, a signed Rishloo poster, a limited edition very RARE signed Halcyon Way poster, a copy of Halcyon Way's "Building the Tower" and "Indoctrination" CDs, CYNIC “Traced in Air”. THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN “Option Paralysis”, AND SEPTICFLESH “Communion" CDs!


WHAT? Still not enough?

Good god people....ok then how about a set of drum sticks for your rock band drum set, some drum tape, a gaggle of T-shirts from Fender, Martin, Vic Firth, and other brands, AND a cooler with an ipod dock!

Surely that's enough....No?!?! You want more?!?

Ok last thing. I mean it.

The winner of this contest will also receive one FENDER PRO GUITAR AND A MIDI ADAPTER FOR THE XBOX 360.

Yeah you read that right. That Pro guitar that everyone wants and no one can find because it's no longer in production? All you have to do is win this contest and it's yours.

Along with all that other stuff.

Oh and since you twisted our arm we'll throw in 3200 ms points to get your new pro guitar Rock Band collection started.

We told you we'd be announcing the contest to end all contests and we meant it.

Oh what's that? How do you win?

Well that's the easy part. You don't have to be first place, or tenth place, all you have to do is log in a score on the leader boards for this battle on ANY instrument or combination of instruments during the next seven days.

A winner will be picked at random from all the leader board scores.

So for you guys that don't think you're good enough to win a contest because there's better players out there, then this is THE contest for you.

WHAT?!?! STILL NOT GOOD ENOUGH!?!?!

OK how about some very rare Harmonix swag then? A bunch of RB stickers (instrument icons and John Dee artwork), pins, wristbands, a RBN tote bag AND a signed copy of RB3 for the 360.

Go. Play. Win.

Oh, if only I had enough money for all those songs...

[ThatAuthoringGroup]

Here's our songs that got released this week!

Our video capture device is having some issues so we don't have final videos on these songs. We do have pretty close to final (but just be aware the charts might be a bit different than what's in the videos I'm linking)

Teenage Bottlerocket - Bigger Than Kiss :

Nevermore - Without Morals (this one is actually pretty old version. I'd just use this for the song and NOT the charts) :

Great job with the Nevermore tracks, hope to see more of them in the future.

[ThatAuthoringGroup]

Thanks!

There's nothing currently on the slate for more Nevermore, but we've asked Century about getting more from them in the future, so there's always hope

We've got quite a few new artists to announce for January's RBN spotlight thread, and there's still 3 weeks left in the month

On top of that we're going to have eight new tracks in the store for Thursday's update (barring any last minute issues that might get caught) :
Devin Townsend - N9 (and 2x Bass Pedal)
Ethereal Collapse - Architect (And 2x Bass Pedal)
Halcyon Way - Icon of Resolution (and 2x Bass Pedal)
Watain - Underneath the Cenotaph
Powerman 5000 - V is for Vampire

AND we've got a couple more tracks that are pretty close to passing that MIGHT be available by this Thursday as well.

It's been a busy year for us, and next year looks to be even busier so stay tuned!

Devin Townsend - N9 (and 2x Bass Pedal)

Finally!


Edit:
Just played it, awesome song! The ending made me laugh

Halcyon Way - Icon of Resolution
Very fun to play but that ending did come pretty suddenly

Always in for more Dev, especially because this means Planet Smasher is probably next! Glad to see the Powerman stuff rolling out as well.

Nevermore is the greatest thing to ever come to RB, and I thank you for your work. Emulating Warrel Dane is the most entertaining thing I have ever done in front of a TV. I would happily dump a pile of money in your lap for the chance to sing more of their songs in RB. I'm specifically thinking of stuff from "Dead Heart in a Dead World"...some of my favorites include "Inside Four Walls," "Narcosynthesis," and "Believe in Nothing." Any or all of these songs would allow me to die happy.

planet smasher is most certainly going to be the next one out. I think it just got uploaded back into PR, so give it a few weeks
