As hinted at last week in the comments of Cole’s post on College Humor’s swell videogame program Bleep Bloop, I’m a guest on this week’s episode. Jeff Rubin, fromer Hooksexup rockstar Patrick Cassels, Kumail Nanjiani, and I celebrate the wanton ridiculousness that is the Rock Band branded fog machine and strobe light. I don’t know if you all were away that such a thing existed, but it most certainly does, and it’s about as silly as you might expect. During the more dramatic moments of songs like “Eye of the Tiger”, the little burner belches out a heady mist that smells a bit like wet dog and fails to create the rockin’ atmosphere its intended to.
The episode actually started out as an attempt to weigh the relative merits of Rock Band 2 and Guitar Hero World Tour, but when we fired up GHWT, its drum kit refused to work. The College Humor gents told me that this was only the second time it had ever been used. Quality product you got there, Activision!
