    Thanksgiving HUGE SUCCESS: Billtvshow Knocked Down a Peg

    This was a triumph! I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS. Today I achieved a long-time Rock Band goal of mine: I at last toppled Billtvshow to claim the number one spot for Still Alive on vocals.

    Ever since it was released, I've loved singing Still Alive. Some people that have played with me online know I usually pick it once per day. In fact, I even made a GLaDOS character to entertain the other bandmembers while they're waiting to play during that song. One day I wanted to squeeze enough points so that GLaDOS would be the best at her own song.

    Now she finally is. See her celebratory #1 pose in the picture attachment, and also the leaderboard picture as evidence. "Take that!", says Phoenix Wright. YEEEAAAH!

    P.S.: I don't care about beating Billtv on anything else, I just wanted to do it on this one song. The thread title was mainly to get people interested enough to look . This achievement feels (to me) on the level of beating Green Grass & High Tides for the first time -- something I worked so hard to do -- so I wanted to share. It's only fitting that GLaDOS owns Still Alive.

    I was going to post a snarky comment, but since you made a Phoenix Wright reference, I'll give you a thumbs up instead.

    One day in the pavilion at Karakorum he [Genghis Kahn] asked an officer of the Mongol guard what, in all the world, could bring the greatest happiness.

    "The open steppe, a clear day, and a swift horse under you," responded the officer after a little thought, "and a falcon on your wrist to start up hares."

    "Nay," responded the Kahn, "to crush your enemies, to see them fall at your feet -- to take their horses and goods and hear the lamentation of their women. That is best."

    I don't think they updated any faster than normal. It took about 3 hours or so to show up, which I think is about the usual rate.

    Activate as late as possible in the activation window, fill the pie up as fast as possible in the last phrase of the activation so more points get doubled.

    I'm not even angry.
    I'm being so sincere right now.
    Even though you broke my score.
    And killed it.
    All Songs Ever Released FC'ed on XVox, Except Alive (Live) & Inside Out. (Broken talkies, d'oh!) (Also songs that just came out I haven't done yet.)
