Another 1.1M points in 2 hours!

We had another shortened 2 hour sessions due to DMan having an interview the next day (not at Macadamian, he is forever rejected... jk ;) ). Nonetheless, that was probably our best 2 hours yet as we surpassed our optimal goal by improving on 9 songs and gaining 1.1M points!

With this increase, 2nd place is pretty much guaranteed in next week's Wednesday session. Today's relatively easy 1M+ point gain also shows that we have the potential to be 1st on the PS3, which we would likely have achieved before RB2 comes out on the PS3 if we started playing a month or two earlier...

Highlights:
- Our strategy to play the worst songs by spread where we have a rough band path seemed to pay off
- We met our bonus goal and more by having our second week with two new original 58 #1 scores (for "Electric Version" and "29 Fingers")
- We finally rank "Gimme Shelter" in the top 10 (go from 12th to 3rd), so now all of the original 58 scores are in the top 10
- Phoenix fights through a hand injury to get us one of our best recent score increases
- When we played "Here It Goes Again", it really meant "Here We Go Again, and Again, and Again..." until we didn't mess up something

We did great guys. We could probably be number 1 if we did a weekend session...

I'm not available on the weekend until RB2 comes out in 11 days, but if we feel like it sometime in the future (when we want a break from RB2), a longer RB1 weekend session sounds great.

Well, just came out of the interview... Pfew, talk about stressful!

I don't know how often a junior developer is selected to become a manager, but I like to think my chances are better now than what they were before the interview.

That being said, only time will tell now. Hopefully, I'll be selected for the second round interviews (if there are any)...

Good luck man! If not... we can rename the band... 3 Macas and a double Reject?

Bongoo said...

The Reject part only applies to Macadamian. Good luck with getting this!

I have to agree with Bongoo, I can only be a Double Reject if I again apply for a job at Macadamian, and am again rejected.
