Hey, thanks for the great party, Joystiq! I had to come after work (and after 405 traffic), so I was way back at number 235. But I still ended up with a free game (Wii's EA Playground! uh... hey, it's free!), and got to sing Psycho Killer poorly in front of a room full of fellow nerds. I gotta say, I was really hoping Rock Band 2 would be on display, and I got my wish!
BTW, for the dude who asked about the new GnR song, there were only about 25 RB2 tracks in that build, and that wasn't one. For instance, I was planning to select Lump or E-Pro, but neither were on the list. My third choice, The Middle, had just been sung, so I went with Psycho Killer... which was awesome, but crazy hard to match David Byrne's vocals.
Next time hopefully I can get there earlier, but I'm totally glad I went. Thanks for hooking us up!

Cap\\\'n Jack, agreed on all counts. I uploaded 7 Miis, and I don't see how to even view them, much less see how people have rated them. And I want to be able to ssee Miis posted by people I know. Why aren't those very basic features present? And yes, you should be able to separate original concepts from celebrity caricatures.
This is a great idea, really, but the execution leaves much to be desired.
"In case anyone's confused, this isn't a live performance. It's a preview screening of the TV show."
Yeah, I was about to say... it'd be awfully weird for them to be at a live event in LA on Tuesday night, when their show is closing down my block in NYC for filming all day tomorrow. It doesn't seem like there'd be much to film if the stars of the show were across the country.
#14 - No Soundwave or Shockwave, sorry. But there's a Decepticon that turns into a boombox, named Frenzy, after one of Soundwave's tapes. And word is they didn't use him because they wanted to use him "properly" for the sequel. But hey, you still get Starscream, Bumblebee, Ironhide, Jazz, and a few more.
#15 - Hugo Weaving is Megatron in the movie, Welker's just doing the voice in the video game. Seems kinda weird to me, but whatever. I only really cared about Optimus Prime's voice.
I really liked the PS2 Transformers Armada game, and will probably be pretty forgiving of this one as long as it's reasonably decent and involves vehicles turning into big-ass robots and mashing each other.
