I still love rhythm games.

So I’m doing the Endless Setlist 2 again. After the debacle that was dubbed “ExpertPenguin’s Repaired 360 Save File Delete 2009″ (plus Alpha), none of my lost saved games hit me as hard as my Rock Band 2 file. Aside from the numerous 5 star performances via drums, singing, guitaring under my belt, challenges conquered, my Platinum medal was gone.

A Platinum medal, if you’re wondering, is your reward for completing the Endless Setlist 2 on Expert. The ES2 is an 84 track endurance run through every song in the game, back to back, no breaks. Well, the first time I’d done it, I admittedly paused a few times, restarted a few songs, and even took a break to go to sleep.

Fast forward about 7 months, past a save file delete, a new guitar, new band file, having gotten much better since then, and you’ll find a guy with a newfound resolve to actually do the ES2 the way it was intended. 900 stars later and I’m finally back to where I wanted to be. The internet gauges its average length to be about 6 hours 15 minutes.

I’m doing it tonight. I want my Platinum back and then some.

Feel like keeping up? Updates can be found in that convenient little thing we call Twitter.

I’ll definitely be back to update this post and let you know how it went.

Here goes..wish me luck. =)
