News and announcements from That Authoring Group

So, TAG: can you comment on whether "Date Rape" is one of the songs being discussed? Whether or not it could possibly come to Rock Band (due to title and lyrics) has been under debate. Or is that giving too much away?

If Nirvana's "Rape Me" can be in the game i dont see why "Date Rape" cant be. A few censored words and it should be fine.

Well, "Rape Me" is supposedly a metaphor of him being "raped" by the media from what I have read, while "Date Rape" is pretty much set in stone that it is a song about a woman getting raped (though with a happy ending when the rapist get sent to jail and raped himself). Could be some troubles considering this is a T rated game.

14. "Annie's 12 years old, in two more she'll be a whore..." Not that it's a huge distinction, but at least it's talking about exploitation of a high schooler rather than middle.

At any rate, it sounds like TAG is disinclined to give us details right now, which is probably for the best expectations-wise. I hope they do land "Date Rape" and at least a couple other songs from 40 Oz, like "Bad Fish" and maybe "Chica Me Tipo." It'd be nice to get album sorting for both major records.

On another note, I hope they aren't touching Robbing the Hood. Clearly I'm not a real fan, but I'd rather see the more accessible stuff.

Haven't asked about these 3 lately. Any updates fit to print? For Friday maybe?

Wouldn't get your hopes up for Soundgarden...

I know but I can dream. At least Sunny Day Really Estate and The Reverend Horton Heat are realistic possibilities

Just a heads up : With school getting back in full swing (most of our authors are college age), and us focusing on getting the songs we have in the system out the door, we didn't get much accomplished in the way of new builds this month.

So what that means is that we don't really have anything new built to show off in the announcement thread tomorrow.

I'll post up the thread for the other authors to do their thing, but I wanted to let everyone know to not expect anything out of us as school has kicked us in the nuts hardcore

Well, between that, Arcanon's predictions about having things available this week vs. next, and the fact that it's barely November anyway, why not just bump it back a week? Increase the chances of people having things to show.
