The Daily Grind: What's your boss fight playlist?
Many of us have admitted that sooner or later, no matter how good an MMO's score is, we turn it off due to sheer repetition and replace it with our own tunes. It's OK, I do it too. And when it comes to boss fights, it sometimes helps to have tunes queued up that are guaranteed to get your blood pumping and your fingers tappin'. Me? I'm all about the epic '80s montage jams when I'm going toe-to-toe with the deadliest virtual villains in games. Give me You're the Best Around, Danger Zone and Love is a Battlefield, please, and pump up that bass. Montages solve everything. So what about you? What do you queue up on your MP3 player when you're heading into the boss' sanctum? For today's bonus points, why not provide a link to the YouTube video version so we can all enjoy your no doubt excellent taste in music? Every morning, the Massively bloggers probe the minds of their readers with deep, thought-provoking questions about that most serious of topics: massively online gaming. We crave your opinions, so grab your caffeinated beverage of choice and chime in on today's Daily Grind!
GDC09 Rumor: Rumor is a Battlefield, new Pat Benatar Rock Band incoming
Amidst the drunkenness at the Harmonix Rock Band party, we learned that Pat Benatar's "other really popular song" is headed to Rock Band 2. If you rule out "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" (Guitar Hero 3 launch and Rock Band via DLC) and "Heartbreaker" (Guitar Hero: World Tour), that pretty much leaves "Love Is A Battlefield" as the likely contender. Either that, or they'll go for something super obscure like "Somebody's Baby" from her 1993 "Gravity's Rainbow" album. Uh ... not that we knew that off-hand or anything. [Update! Our drunken source was COMPLETELY WRONG! The new Rock Band song is indeed "Heartbreaker." So how about it, music gods? People are crying out for Love is a Battlefield, and a lot more Bena-tunage. What's next?]
