I’ve Taken My Bows, And My Curtain Calls
Well, today’s the day! We have arrived at the end of this year-long odyssey, so I’m gonna go old school with this post and skip all the analysis & statistics that have been the hallmark of this blog for the past 6 months. I always knew that if I actually saw this thing through to the end, it would be a major accomplishment…especially if I managed to finish on time! Therefore, I felt there was no track in the Rock Band catalog more appropriate for my final selection than Queen’s “We Are The Champions”. I’ve been holding out for months to do an FC of this song, and I can hardly believe that the day has finally come!
For What It’s Worth It Was Worth All The While
Song: Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life) – Green Day
Game: Green Day: Rock Band
Path: AI (CPURules)
Session length: 13:36
Total # of FCs during session: 2
Fun Fact: This is another track that I SRFC’d with the optimal score while streaming, so I ended up with a glitched score screen similar to what happened during my “Welcome To Paradise” session. No matter though! To be honest, I was more excited about this song being included in GD:RB than anything else on the entire disc. It’s my all-time favorite Green Day song, and I always find myself fighting back tears whenever I hear it. In a good way, of course!

Fun Fact: This was the one Green Day: Rock Band track that made it into the random pool for the Total Rock Total Rewards 2010 Rock Band tournament. It wasn’t picked by any of the 4 bands, so of course I had to give it a go on my blog! Between hunting down a decent path (I’m convinced there’s still a better path out there that hasn’t been shared yet, but oh well) and consistently failing to hit the lowest charted note on the song’s third phrase, this session seemed to drag on FOREVER! Hope you all think it was worth it!

Fun Fact: The eagle-eyed among you may notice the bug I discovered during my “Welcome To Paradise” recording session. See, a few days before I started doing GD:RB videos, I had me a little post-tournament-welcome-home stream, and played through the first couple of venues in Career Mode. It just so happens that I SRFCd a bunch of songs during that first playthrough, and even tied for 1st place globally on a couple of unsqueezable tracks! “Welcome To Paradise” happened to fall into this select group…
