    You may be telling the truth, but the game will still be a joke. #reospeedwagon

    This is going to go awesomely with those classic arcade game Zippos from yesterday. Wait, no it won't, I can't stand the Speedwagon. How about a Rush game based on 2112 instead?

    And I don't think this is said enough, if at all -- Luke, thanks for continuing to be the best g'd'mn music-oriented video game reporter in the industry. Even if you do have to bring us bad news from time to time. (They can't all be about Hawkwind coming to Rock Band, I guess.)

    I'm going to close this window now, and re-open it when I'm at work, becuase clearly, I'm still half asleep. I couldn't have read that REO Speedwagon is releasing a "hidden object adventure game". That thar be the stuff of a weary subconscious.

    No "Come Sail Away" as performed by one Eric Cartman, no sale.


    Well, no sale anyway, since I don't have Rock Band. But if I did, no sale.


    ... Unless I was desperate for new songs. Then maybe sale. But if not, no sale. Except if I suddenly became a fan of either band. Then definite sale. But I haven't, so no sale. Of course, this is all moot, since I don't have Rock Band. So, no sale.

    @ShaggE: I'm not sure where you got that star from, but that comment came directly from the mouth of a troll. Talk about offering absolutely nothing of value. Here's what I just learned from your comment: you don't like Styx, or Speedwagon, but you know that one of the most popular TV shows of our generation once did a spoof on one of Styx's songs. And you feel the need to tell us all that you know that. Because, ya know...no one's heard of Eric Cartman, and no one bought/downloaded/burned/whatevered the Chef Aid album...which isn't even remotely relevant here since "Come Sail Away" isn't in the DLC and wasn't even referenced in the article.

    @FrakEarth: Trolling for what, pray tell? I like Rock Band, I like Come Sail Away, I like the Chef Aid version, and I'm entirely indifferent on either band other than that one song. So again I ask, what purpose would I have for trolling?


    Allow me to expand on why I commented: Ever since Trogdor was released in Guitar Hero 2, I found that "joke" songs are rather fun to play in rhythm games. I simply took the opportunity to state that Come Sail Away as performed by Cartman would be an enjoyable addition to the rhythm game genre, and I said so in a joking fashion.


    I then went on with the "rambling" joke as seen above, to further concrete the point that my comment wasn't to be taken as a serious critique of the track pack.


    Clearly, I underestimated people's ability to be offended by absolutely EVERYTHING.


    Now, here's what I just learned from YOUR comment:

    1. One should never speak unless it is an absolutely earth-shattering revelation, lest they fall under fire of ridiculous accusations.


    2. One should always pepper their comments with disclaimers, for it is inevitable that somebody is going to attempt to read between the lines for nonexistent intentions.


    3. People have some serious fucking issues.

    @FrakEarth: I'm not sure you understand the definition of "troll".


    Troll: A person who makes a comment for the express purpose of riling up others.


    That wasn't my purpose, hence there was nothing trollish about what I said. As for you being annoyed by it, that's your own issue. You can't expect the world to cater to your remarkably fragile sensibilities. I didn't enter this site thinking "Hmm, will this comment make FrakEarth unhappy? Gee willikers, we wouldn't want that."
