Project Bombs and Eternity - weekly update 5

This week's update is a little late but I managed to almost get everything caught up. I haven't had a lot of time  the last couple weeks to work on songs between real life things, school, and my PC boosting sessions. Hopefully by next week I will be completely caught up.

Song Changes
I did a test run of the Homecoming file that I had a number of messages about. I got 100% on my test run (picture included below) so it is possible to get 100% with the file it is just very hard to sync it up properly. That being said it is incredibly difficult, if not impossible, to get gold stars on it. The top score on Scorehero is lower than the score from my run and it ranked 12th on the Xbox leaderboards. So to make this achievement a whole lot less difficult I have made a vocals file for Homecoming. I had a look at Beatle Beat 12 that I had a few comments about. It turns out I put in the wrong BPM when I was making the file. I changed it and re uploaded the file so it should be working properly now. I also made a file containing all of Tre's Greatest hits for those that need to complete the whole set. I moved some of Tre's Greatest Hits, and all of the Rock Band format files for Guitar Hero Van Halen, Guitar Hero World Tour, Rock Band, Rock Revolution, and Guitar Hero World Tour.
Edit - Homecoming gold star cutoff on drums is possible and is around 380,000.



This Week's Songs
This week on drums I made Rock Band format files for Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love, And the Cradle Will Rock, American Idiot, Burnout, Chump, Gratitude, No Sleep 'Till Brooklyn, Schism, and Trapped Under Ice. As mentioned above, I also added Homecoming on vocals. As always vocals videos can be found here and drum files can be found here.

Blog Updates
I made some changes to the blog this week. I added an option to subscribe by email for those of you that want to get post updates by email. I also added some links to useful posts in this blog, my YouTube channel, and my new cooking blog. I started a cooking blog last week to share recipes I have either found, created, or modified. I will probably be updating it weekly so if any of you like cooking you should have a look at it. It can be found here.

Video of the Week
I didn't have time to make a video this week so I will try to double up next week.

Project Bombs and Eternity - weekly update 4


I was not able to release any new songs this week because I was preparing for the Kane and Lynch leaderboard reset. I was able to get the achievements thanks to a very dedicated group that I wish I could have stayed around to help. It is amazing what the group has been able to do so far. Huge thank you to Shotgunbilly555, TSG Dwaggie, and Protium for keeping this session going.

It has been brought to my attention that the Homecoming MIDI file has some issues. I don't know if I am going to be able to fix it but next week I might try to double up and make 10 songs and include in those Homecoming on vocals so all of the songs for that achievement will be gold starable.

Something pretty unrelated I wanted to throw this out there to any readers. I do a lot of cooking and search long and hard for recipes that I think are really great and would like to share them. I was wondering if any readers would be interested in me including a recipe of the week or recipe every two weeks either in the weekly update or a separate blog/post. I know it's completely unrelated but if anybody is interested post a comment or something.

The video this week is an achievement guide for the Celebrity and True Elite achievements in Kane and Lynch Dead Men.

Project Bombs and Eternity - weekly update 3

This week's new songs are F.O.D., Give Me Novacaine/She's a Rebel, Homecoming, Letterbomb, and Are We the Waiting/St. Jimmy on drums in MIDI pro format. As always they can be found in the directory.

I would like to thank Urban Spaceman for letting me move and host my files on his server. The files will no longer expire and when they are being downloaded you will not have to go through zippyshare anymore, they will begin downloading immediately after being clicked. I am nowhere near moving all of the files yet so most of them are still on zippyshare but I will try to move a bunch of them each week and all of the new files will be hosted on the server.

I was going to post a few Cut the Rope videos this week but I ran into some hardware problems. My good microphone I usually use seems to have died. It took a few good bumps during my move to California so I guess that and sitting around since last week finished it off. I used a Rock Band microphone which got the job done but doesn't sound as good. The second problem is that I do all of my recording in the large closet in my bedroom because I live in a two room apartment just off one of the main streets so it is quite loud and the closet is the only place quiet enough to record decent audio. I usually end up doing most of my editing in there as well as my recording because I usually do the videos in small pieces or have to re record segments. It was a really hot day so I didn't want to sit in the hot closet after hardware failure for longer than I had to so there is only one Cut the Rope video this week. Maybe I will make the others next week if it is not so hot.

Project Bombs and Eternity - weekly update 2.

This week I added You Really Got Me, So This is Love, and Mean Street on vocals. I added Last Night on Earth and Boulevard of Broken Dreams on drums in MIDI pro format. This weeks songs can be found in the vocals and drum directories. I have also posted the to do list in a separate post. I don't really have a system for picking songs for vocals or drums for the week so it will probably end up just being what I feel like that week unless I have specific requests. The to do list can be found here.

This week's video is a guide for one of Red Faction Guerrilla's most time consuming single player achievements.

PBaE weekly update 1

Now that I am trying to post new songs and videos every week I will try to update the blog as well. When I make big progress on the project I will make separate blog posts detailing the new information/updates.

This week I posted Extraoridnary Girl, She, and Fury of the Storm in MIDI pro adapter format as well as Little Guitars and I'm the One on vocals. They can be found in the MIDI and Vocals directories.

The video this week isn't too exciting but I didn't really have time to make a better one becuase I spent a lot of time unlocking the achievement in the video. Next week should be a little better I hope.

PBaE update 9.5 and other things - a few new songs, weekly songs (hopefully), and a personal goal.

I haven't really been working on PBaE much lately. Between my internet barely or not working and moving to America, I haven't had too much time to work on it. I have now just gotten settled in to my new apartment in America and have been enjoying the country very much so far, however it is a big change from Canada. I have a few new songs that I have made and now that my internet seems to be working properly again I can upload them. I expect they will be posted tonight. I have made good progress on vocal harmony videos and expect I will begin releasing them pretty soon.

Since there are not too many more songs to go I have decided to set a goal for myself. I want to try at post a minimum of 5 new songs (drums and/or vocals) per week. I hope this will motivate me to get through the rest of the songs and especially the requests that have been backing up. Then I can move on to keyboard and the pro instruments.

I want to try and start making a weekly, achievement related, YouTube video as well as the weekly songs, but depending on how busy I am with school and other projects the video may become once every two weeks instead. If any readers are interested in my YouTube videos my channel can be found here.
