On 1 Huge Reason To Have 2 Kids

OK so I've always said I just want to have just one kid. Here is an awesome reason to have two. It's a new video game due out this Christmas called Rock Band, where 4 people can play co-operatively. Two guitars, a drumkit, and a mic = 4 people. Four.

Since the dogs can't sing for crap (although we have so many they could form a band by themselves), that leaves our only other option. Either we have twins...or two, and in a hurry because I can't wait to play this game.



For the unawares among you, they are playing guitar-shaped controllers. The plastic guitars have five different colored buttons, and a plastic strum-bar that they have to push down as the notes appear on the screen. They are showing three columns of scrolling notes, one rhythm guitar , one bass guitar, and one for the drums (in the middle). The vocals are streaming across the top. The game does keep score based on timing, rhythm, and in the case of the vocals, tone (you have to sing on-key to score the word).

Sources say that the Welcome to the Jungle song posted in the video may not be in the final game (I hope it won't!...GnR sux).

Here are a few songs that will be included:

* "In Bloom" - Nirvana
* "Paranoid" - Black Sabbath
* "Say It Ain't So" - Weezer
* "Won't Get Fooled Again" - The Who
