Hello,

We're only going to be able to appear on the Sunday of Maker Faire (May 4), because of prior engagements. Hope to see you guys there Sunday!

The trouble with this is going to be that on expert mode people will pass out.

Achievement unlocked!

So is Emmett Otter and his Jug Band the final boss?

So the obvious competition "Jug Band" isn't on anyone's mind?

Much better game. They tone down the over-the-top art direction a bit, and not only can you play jug, but you can also be part of the band on washtub bass, the spoons, or the unbreakable comb and tissue (although you do have to provide your own tissue as it is not included in the game).

Well, since most mountain folk I know use actual guitars, fiddles and banjos (as opposed to the stereotypical jugs and other nonsense "hillbilly" shit) I will patiently wait for Harmonica and Mouth-Harp Hero.

Heh, this reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Lisa is forced to play a jug.

"Never, ever stop in the middle of a hoedown!"

They need to add a washboard and a washtub bass so that they can compete with Rock Band.

This looks awesome now till they make little plastic jugs with colourfull buttons. That would suck.

FOX NEWS AT 11: There is a new game teaching our children to drink alcohol and snort blow, it also contains extreme violence where players are instructed to smash the bottles together and stab each-other with the broken glass.

I could totally be a fear-monger.

Drinking games now go next-gen. Who needs quarters now?

We'll call the game: Hillbilly Hero

Anyone else feeling it?
