This week our main goal will be to gain 1.5M points to become the best RB1 band in RB2 by beating "Happy People Playing ROCK BAND", "March of War" and "3 on a Match".
This post had to be updated due to "Happy People Playing ROCK BAND" playing on Tuesday night. Thanks Sebrun for the update via PSN! By the way, Score Reader stats just before the release of RB2 indicated that the "Happy People" had 79 #1 scores in RB1, far more than any other band (#2 was Slagathor with 50)!
We are currently in 18th place but there are 6 bands ahead of us with inflated scores (in positions 1, 2, 4, 9, 12 and 14), so we could be in the real top 10 tomorrow.
To reach our main goal, we will need an average increase of 125K per song if we play for one hour (12 songs), 63K per song if we play for two hours (24 songs) and 42K per song if we play for three hours (36 songs).
Minimum: Gain 1M points, to beat "3 on a Match" for 17th place
Main: Gain 1.5M points, to beat "Happy People Playing ROCK BAND" and "March of War" for 15th place
Optimal: Gain 2.1M points, to beat the inflated "Taco & 3 hung lo" for 14th place
Bonus: Play some random DLC on our breaks
Here is the setlist for tomorrow (worst ranked songs, all songs below rank 35):
1. "Master Exploder"
2. "Spoonman"
3. "Aqualung"
4. "You Oughta Know"
5. "Round and Round"
6. "The Trees (Vault Edition)"
7. "Painkiller"
8. "Ramblin' Man"
9. "That's What You Get"
10. "Spirit in the Sky"
11. "Feel the Pain"
12. "Eye of the Tiger"
13. "Rebel Girl"
14. "A Jagged Gorgeous Winter"
15. "Testify"
16. "Mountain Song"
17. "Cool for Cats"
18. "Panic Attack"
19. "One Step Closer"
20. "Battery"
21. "Souls of Black"
22. "One Way or Another"
23. "Livin' on a Prayer"
24. "De-Luxe"
25. "Colony of Birchmen"

Beer of the week #3
Better late than never my friends! This week we tried two different beers during our session.
The first one was Unibroue's Trois Pistoles. I found it pretty good but not as good as "La Fin du Monde" (one of the breweries other strong beer). I found its taste pretty strong. And coming with 9% alcohol, you don’t want to drink too much of this one ;)
The second beer we had was perhaps the most unique I have ever tasted. Its name is "Golden Draak" and it is a Belgium beer with 10.5% alcohol. Some high % beers manage to pull it off without that overwhelming "rubbing alcohol taste" but Golden Draak didn’t care much to hide it. In fact, it must be brewed to make that taste even more pronounced from the looks of it. To balance it out, it is also very sweet which was kind of odd too. As weird as it may seem: I found it actually tasted good :). Overall I rate this beer as "So whacky you HAVE to try it at least once".
Talk to you next week!

Reached optimal goal to beat 3 on a Match!
This week we reached our optimal goal by gaining about 2.4M points! This allowed us to beat 5 bands, including the #1 PS3 band for RB1, "3 on a Match"! We played 25 songs, so that gives an average increase of 95K per song.
The "Happy People Playing ROCK BAND" are still ahead of us by about 300K because they gained around 1.1M points tonight. We'll have to wait until next week to pass them. It's neat to have some competition with some of the original RB1 bands!
The band that was next after "3 on a Match" before this session started ("March of War") gets the glitch and jumps to 1st place! To balance this, one of the glitched scores was fixed ("The Dudes Abide Even More").
Highlights:
- We're getting much better at creating our own paths, we even got some of our groupies to help with notetaking!
- DMan starts off the session in style with 4 FCs!
- Our best increases were for "Let There Be Rock" (206K), "Everlong" (181K), Give It All (181K), "Battery" (177K), "Shackler's Revenge" (168K), "Come Out and Play (Keep 'Em Separated)" (159K) and "Souls of Black" (156K)
- After this great session, Phoenix and Bongoo celebrate by doing a very intense Metal marathon
- Bang Camaro plays a song off their new album on Conan O'Brien, future DLC perhaps?

Beer of the week #2
I have a nice long list for this great holiday 3MaaR session. Worry not, these beers were small bottles and we kept our senses throughout the day as you can see from our last results post.
Let's list last session's delicacies in order of alchool %.
1) Bruegel Amber Ale
At 5.2%, I found this Belgian ale decent in taste. As odd as it may sound, I found this beer tasted like apple juice... On the opposite scale of tastes, DMan found it tasted like ashes!? Don't worry, this is just the opinion of the reject ;)
2) Great Lakes Brewery Winter Ale
This brewery always comes up with some fancy and different ales. This complex ale (6.2%) had a lot of spice in it: cinnamon, ginger, orange peel and honey. The wonderful part is you can actually taste all four in every sip.
3) Rogue Hazlenut Brown Nectar
One of the band's favorites! A great "strong" beer (6.2%) with a full taste of hazlenuts. It is a bit expensive (~6$ for 650ml) but very much worth the price.
4) Bornem Dubbel
The second Belgian beer of the night (7%) was another dark beer. I personally found it too spicy and won't buy it again. I'd say its a stronger version of Bruegel (mentioned earlier in this post). guess I'll be the one to say it tastes like ashes this time :). DMan hated it so much he spilled it on my beautiful pink carpet!
5) Augustijn
Yet again a Belgian beer but pretty strong this time (8%). This beer was very different from the others of the session both in color (blonde) and in taste (sweet). It felt good after all these spicy ales!
