Comment on Eric Cartman Poker Face Coming to Rock Band by Jay Alan

Yeah, it’s been too long since Harmonix released, “fun” DLC. This will be a nice change of pace.

Also, this is kind of a self fulfilling prophecy. That episode was all about Cartman singing Poker Face on Rock Band, and now months later you actually can.

YEESSSS!!!! Man, I never in a million years thought this would be released on Rock Band. The only thing better would have been a compilation of Chef’s old songs or the Kanye “Gay Fish” song from last season. Needless to say, I will buy the Cartman version when it comes out.

Unbelievable! I got your message far too late to get into the beta. I’m super jealous!

Yes, I almost posted that first video as well, it’s quite excellent. Also you have to give OK Go props for forcing their record label into allowing people to embed their videos. The label may not understand the internet, but at least OK Go does.

I actually was thinking about posting this, but you beat me to it. And I too love this video, but am torn because the first video they did for this very same song is almost as cool (do the words snipers and marching band make you want to see it?). Nice to see a band still trying to make videos relevant and fun (the only other band beside OK GO! that does that is Weezer) in this age of bad rap videos.

I got into the beta for this, it starts March 8th. I’ll try to update everyone on just how good it is.

Exactly! But with real cars, 20 player online, and cars that handle the way Bizarre Creations knows how to make ‘em. So, yeah, like Mario Kart, but awesome.

Yeah, it’s a shitty situation, but if everything gets put back the way it belongs, I’ll get over it. However, if Microsoft tries to screw me and not get my name back, hell will be raised, the Project Silence Army (no matter how small) will be assembled and all will tremble in fear of our Just Fury.

Basically the way it happened (as far as I can guess), is this person managed to change the password on my account, most likely by contacting MS themselves and pretending to be me. Some 20 year old Indian (no offense to Indians!) who just wanted to get the guy off the phone reset my password and allowed this douchebag access. Once that was done he recovered my profile to his Xbox, payed the $10 fee (using my money!) to change my Gamertag to N0T Silence, which made Silence available. He then logged into his own account, payed the $10 charge and changed his name to Silence.

Microsoft has a huge hole in their security. The simple fact is I’m far from the only person this has happened to. It’s too easy for someone to call up and pretend to be you, and Microsoft claims no responsibility. If customer support doesn’t fix the problem to my satisfaction (nothing less than my Gamertag being returned to the name I’ve had for seven and a half years), then Microsoft and anyone who works there I can contact (and have others contact for me), along with every major media outlet will be hearing from me until the situation is resolved.

But, yeah, if I meet this guy in a dark alley, he would be begging to change his Gamertag in less than 5 minutes.

Okay, how the HELL did your account get hacked?!?! How is it you still show up on my X-Box friends but with a different name now? This is just too damn weird. It goes without saying that Microsoft needs to take care of this immediately since it was their servers that let your account be violated.

I wish, I wish, I wish we could get our hands on the guy who did this, just for 2 minutes! Man, wouldn’ t that be a good feeling to beat him so bad that his own mother (that he still lives with in her basement) wouldn’t recognize him? Grrrr, this whole sitation makes me so angry!!!
