Week 3
Entering the third week of playing Rock Band, I have come across some interesting aspects of the game. Last week I was focusing on my career mode and was playing as many new guitar songs as possible. But now, I have tried involving my friends in the game. One nice feature about Rock Band is that you can have up to four players connected at once to create a real life band. My friends and I would alternate instruments, but I would stay on guitar most of the time because this is the instrument I feel most comfortable with. With me on guitar, my friend Ryan playing the bass, my friend Dan on the drums, and my other friend Brandon on the microphone we sounded like we were actually the Rolling Stones. Playing multiplayer mode is very fun and I will definitely play this way in addition to career mode in the future.

Jared, I am a student at Stanford University in a class that focuses on gaming. I am writing a paper on how casual games such as Rock Band are beginning to take over the gaming world because they have added new features such as social gameplay and real life practicality. You say you like the feature in rock band that allows you to play alongside your friends where each person has a different instrument. This is interesting because it seems to me that the added social component of the game is the reason it is as popular as it is. I would be interested to know what you think the major selling point of Rock Band is and I am also curious as to what type of class you are writing these blog posts for.
