YouTube and Universal Music Group are remastering old music videos
YouTube is perhaps the single biggest public repository of music videos, but many are bit outdated, with visuals and audio designed for old TVs with single speakers, and others that could use a bit of an upgrade too. Many videos from major artists will soon look and sound much better though, as YouTube and Universal Music Group are remastering almost 1,000 of them "to the highest possible standards."
Blood Sport: Patch 3.2.2, the times they are a-changin, Part II and a half
I don't care for a lot of music that was made in the last decade. The Killers are something of a breather for me. They're one of those bands I'm glad exist. When I'm forced to listen to a terrible radio station, and hear change your mind sandwiched in between auto-tuned, unoriginal dross -- I'm satisfied there is still music being made that can intrigue. (Brandon Flowers has some epic bard tier 10 shoulders there too)This is part two of part two of a three part article. Confusing? Join the fun! Surprising Patch 3.3 timing, i.e. wrenches in cogs, is a blast!In our first installment, we covered pillars changing shape in great detail, and also mentioned a few other tweaks. Our second article dealt with five classes -- paladin, priest, rogue, shaman, and warrior. Warlocks were left out of the 3.2.2 patch notes. This article is going to talk about the other four classes - death knight, druid, hunter, and mage.Being "TheArenaGuy" here at WoW.com lends to forcing myself to a very balanced perspective on classes. It makes me feel guilty if I understand armor penetration less than spell penetration. Well, actually, it doesn't because ArP is confusing. The main thing I'm trying to say here is that I don't want to write anything that is opinionated without being grounded in something. I don't want to make any mistakes when it comes to reporting to our viewers what changes will impact arena games (and how).I'm satisfied to critique changes instead of having the responsibility to make them. The developers have very difficult decisions to make with regard to arena balance and we should applaud them for making decisions in the name of equity, even if some of them might be unpopular.With that, let's get into the juicy, juicy 3.2.2 patch notes.
Rock Band Weekly: The Killers, Yngwie Malmsteen, Soundgarden, Lamb of God
Why should Guitar Hero World Tour be the only one to get The Killers next week? As previously announced, The Killers will also be available in a three pack on Rock Band starting Nov. 25. Harmonix keeps the DLC flood going with another nine new tracks to sing, strum and drum to ... ok, more like flick than strum, but you get the drift.The Killers 3 Pack (440 / $5.50) "Mr. Brightside" (160 / $2) "Smile Like You Mean It" (160 / $2) "Spaceman" (160 / $2) Yngwie Malmsteen 3 Pack (440 / $5.50) "Caprici Di Diablo" (160 / $2) "Damnation Game" (160 / $2) "TRed Devil" (160 / $2) Individual songs: "Jesus Christ Pose" - Soundgarden (160 / $2) "Pretty Noose" - Soundgarden (160 / $2) "Laid to Rest" - Lamb of God (160 / $2) All tracks are masters and will be available for download next Tuesday for Xbox 360 and PS3. PSN updates on Tuesday next week due to the Thanksgiving holiday.
The Killers DLC also coming to Rock Band Music Store
The spirit of competition between Activision and Harmonix's respective rhythm franchises is still very much alive and well -- shortly after Activision announced that a trio of tunes from post-punk darlings The Killers would be making their way onto Guitar Hero: World Tour as DLC, MTV let it slip to Wired that they would be adding their own Killers triple-pack to the Rock Band Music Store on the very same day (Nov. 25). Man, what a bizarre coincidence!Two of the three songs which are about to be thrust into Harmonix's already intimidating music library are relative oldies: "Mr. Brightside" and "Smile Like You Mean It" -- but a title from the Killers' new album, Day & Age, will also make an appearance: "Spaceman". The article on Wired mentioned nothing of pricing details -- though it's probably safe to assume they'll match the $2.00 (160) per song/ $5.50 (440) per pack price point we've all come to know and love over the past year.
The Killers DLC coming to Guitar Hero: World Tour
Activision will shortly be serving up another three Guitar Hero: World Tour tracks for download. This latest batch is from The Killers, who should really cheer up a bit, considering they're international rock stars with their music in a Guitar Hero game. Smile, you ungrateful sods!"Human" and "Losing Touch" are both from the band's new album Day & Age, and are joined by "Mr. Brightside," an older Killers track and one that everybody under 85 is probably familiar with. These will be made available from November 25th, and like previous tracks, will cost 200 Wii Points each. Videos of all three follow the break.%Gallery-23491%
