DLC Roundup

Right, thanks to a 2 for £30 at HMV, I went in yesterday after college and bought four packs of 2100 Microsoft Points. My brother wanted two packs as well, so I ended up nearly clearing the top shelf of them in the store! :)

I’m rounding this up because I’ve spent all the points already (actually, I did last night), and I want to go through how many songs I downloaded for Guitar Hero/Rock Band. I can remember that I downloaded nine songs for GHWT:

  • “Another Way to Die” by Jack White & Alicia Keys
  • “Because of You” by Nickelback
  • “Dimension” by Wolfmother
  • “Black Betty” as made famous by Ram Jam
  • “Drive” by Incubus
  • “In the Shadows” by The Rasmus
  • “What Have You Done” by Within Temptation
  • “The James Bond Theme” by Richard Fortus
  • “Bodhisattva” by Steely Dan

There we go, that wasn’t too had. But as for Rock Band 2, oh deary me…

  • “March of the Pigs” by Nine Inch Nails
  • “The Collector” by Nine Inch Nails
  • “Working Man (Vault Edition)” by Rush
  • “Last” by Nine Inch Nails
  • “Constant Motion” by Dream Theater
  • All That Remains pack 01 (“This Calling”, “Chiron”, “Two Weeks”)
  • “Push It” by Static-X
  • “Pretty Noose” by Soundgarden
  • “Laid to Rest” by Lamb of God
  • No Doubt – The Singles 1992-2003 + “New” (all 14 tracks)
  • “Losing My Religion” by R.E.M.
  • Pearl Jam – Ten (all 11 tracks)
  • “Waking the Demon” by Bullet for My Valentine
  • Guns N’ Roses – Chinese Democracy (all 13 tracks)

That is possibly my biggest haul ever! A total of 60 tracks!!! And I’m not done yet!

There’s still a load of albums I’m looking at (with definite buys highlighted in bold):

  • Judas Priest – Screaming for Vengeance - “(Take These) Chains”
  • Rush – Moving Pictures - “Tom Sawyer (Original Version)”, “YYZ”, “Limelight (Original Version)”, “Vital Signs”
  • Red Hot Chili Peppers – Blood Sugar Sex Magik - “Breaking the Girl”, “Suck My Kiss”, “Under the Bridge”
  • Foo Fighters – The Colour and the Shape – “Monkey Wrench”, “My Hero”, “Walking After You”
  • Stevie Ray Vaughan – Texas Flood - “Pride and Joy”, “Texas Flood”

So there’s another 13 songs I’m getting at least. It’s gonna be a while before I get them though. My money is going towards Guitar Hero Metallica, so I’m not spending anything for a month. Also, I have to actually listen through the albums to see if I actually want to buy them. I’ve already listened through “The Colour and the Shape”, but I’m not entirely sure, so I’m gonna give it another listen sometime.

1 down, 8 to go...

I'm actually making some progress on my college assignments now! :)

Because I was off for three months, I came back swamped with assignment after assignment to do. I had about ten to do in total. I just finished and submitted another one. With a bit of luck, I might get another two or three sent off by Friday! :)

And we’re off!

I’ve finally got the blog customised to something that looks good and is also readable! :)

Hopefully now, this will become my full-time blog, replacing my Windows Live Space…

…although if I do ever become a Neowin subscriber, I’ll move my blog over there, lol.
