Rock Band hits 3,000 tracks, Harmonix giving away 3,000 songs

@Raiki he made a joke, jeez. "social networking"? get it? so he said "anti-social" cus it's funny. Don't take such little things so seriously.

@aray48

I'm not angry about it or anything, I'm just critiquing his writing. I personally have a Facebook, so I'm not offended by what he said because it's directed to me personally. I just don't understand why he'd post such a stupid (and possibly offensive) joke.

@Raiki

whenever someone hates on a joke like this I can't help but think it's because they feel the joke was directed at them. don't worry buddy, its ok you never leave home. Joystiq was not singling you out.

@pradius

Oh man, you figured you me out. I'm literally going to go cry myself to sleep.

What I was trying to say, and what you were too stupid to see, was that the joke was in bad taste. Would you say that only black people can not like black jokes? I guess all of those bad racist jokes are just bad to people who it directly offends.

Joystiq has an article quota and so they post these random things which they need to fill up with some kind of content. It could have been a good joke, but it wasn't. The whole article was done poorly, with a sad attempt at humor, that is the part about their user base not being able to do math and insulting people who happen to not use two particular social networking websites. I've just been pretty annoyed with the content lately, reviews, news, etc.

@Raiki
Because social networking sites other than Facebook or Twitter DON'T exist, of course. If you aren't apart of those two sites, you're anti-social. You are a at-home loser for not using Facebook of Twitter.

It's not nice. It's annoying. It's an uncalled-for attempt at humor. Whether or not a person should take it seriously is up to them, but if Joystiq, like any organization, likes to keep it's faithful it needs to consider the feelings of the lighthearted and serious. (yeah guys, feelings, srsly these become important in the real world)

I wasn't offended but there are people to consider. Don't start attacking the guy. Not to mention there are people that will worship sites that aren't Facebook or Twitter. (hipster-style)

That aside, just breathe and LOL at the witty article and focus on what's really important anyway...MATHEMAGICIANS.

@Raiki How is the joke offensive? Who will it offend?

"Sorry, there is no option to sit at home with the lights off, shades drawn, until an envelope magically shows up on your nightstand."

I guess I can see it offending someone who sits around at home, in the dark, who believes in magic. But then they can just cast a spell and put a curse on David Hinkle or something.

@Warlock234

30 winners, 100 songs EACH. thats over $200 a person

Could of been worse. 3000 winners, 1 song each. now THATS cheap.

@Faenix
Why? That's still $6000 worth of songs.

@mywhitenoise
Songs that cost them nothing if the winners were people who never buy DLC in the first place.
