Blink 182 and Breaking Benjamin are good for you (Rock Band Samples)

It's been about a month since I posted to this blog, but I'm back now with two new Rock Band samples for your enjoyment.

The first is Blink 182 - What's my Age Again.

Oh come on, don't tell me you don't like that song, you know you do. You just know it's better than that "Angels and Airwaves" shit that they started (What a Gay Ass name).

This was performed on Medium on Guitar.

Next up, we have Breaking Benjamin's I will Not Bow

This is from their latest album, "Dear Agony". Hear it if you have a chance, it rules.

This was performed on Easy Guitar.

Enjoy.

  • 00:17 @lokheed Hey man. I'd be a fan of Slaughter Realms if only the EReader was accessible; told @officialalan what the problems were. #
  • 00:17 @lokheed I'm a recent fan of Deathlands, so I figure I'd like this. #
  • 00:18 @lokheed However when I click on the prolog link, my screen reader acts as though nothing had been opened. #
  • 00:19 @lokheed Er, I'm blind BTW, that's why I'm using one. Keep forgetting what I write on twitter. #
  • 00:20 @l okheed To solve this problem, The EReader versions can be available but than blind users can read text files. #
  • 00:22 @lokheed Or something. I don't know how the EReader works but I can't access the prolog. #
  • 00:45 @Brandon_h Halo book? #
  • 01:00 : 00:15 @RicksterTheGeek I think he's younger. # 00:38 @BlindTrek Dude, why do you care if people do or don't k.. bit.ly/3gC7GW #
  • 01:13 @lokheed That'd be greatly appreciated to make a text ver of prolog and chapters and future chapters. #
  • 01:25 Top 3 weekly #lastfm artists: Breaking Benjamin - 13. GraphicAudio - 9. Sweet Vacation - 5. bit.ly/JwbN4 #
  • 01:40 Shrug. I wish I knew where the hell is posting my damg tweets to my bog. #
  • 02:02 @Brandon_h I'll be sure to look for it. Are you able to do the missions it comes with? #
  • 02:02 @lokheed Besides not being able to read the story yet, everything else seems okay. #
  • 03:02 Yay. Slaughter Realms, (SlaughterRealms.com) will be accessible as of tomorrow. I'll put @blindgeek here so he knows s ince he isn't followin #
  • 03:03 I think @graphicaudio should do slaughter Realms at some point, once it's actually complete. #
  • 03:46 @Brandon_h Indeed it would. #
  • 03:46 RT @Brandon_h: #suggestion for @graphicaudio : Try to obtain the rights to the Halo books and dramatise them. That'd be amazing. #
  • 03:47 Oh no. RT @DHSHolly: okay, I"m on chapter 18, and I can't find any buttons or anything, don't know what to do here. #
  • 05:13 Night twitter. Will finish DL7 tomorrow and start slaughter Realms once it's accessibility formatted. #
  • 12:04 Morning twitter. #
  • 12:27 Hahaha. RT @Liamerven: my character in popmundo got drunk after one can of beer? What a lightweight. #
  • 13:20 Finished Deathlands 7. #
  • 16:33 @BlindTrek Is that accessible? #
  • 17:41 @lokheed I hope you can fix SR today in text, look forward to reading it. #
  • 18:45 @toonhead What's this show about? #

  • 20:55 @DHSHolly Awesome. Are you gonna put it on the app list, even though everything isn't labeled? #
  • 21:00 @DHSHolly Ah I see. #
  • 21:03 @Brandon_h Oh yeah, is that review available? #
  • 21:08 Shrug. James Galloway, can you please start the Tribulation of Subjugation? Or al Steiner ti h A Lost Generation? Getting bored of waiting. #
  • 23:27 Agreed. RT @DHSHolly: I wish there were more games like soultrapper out there. I love games that have a story. #
  • 23:27 @DHSHolly Story plot type games are very popular on consoles, but we can't play most of them. #
  • 23:31 @lokheed Okay, sweet. #
More soon.

  • 01:41 @BlindTrek Sure it is. #
  • 01:41 @BlindTrek Absolutely nothing different gameplay whise. #
  • 02:50 @steveofmaine In certain situations it helps, like matching the beats to your heart to enter the Soul Trap. #
  • 05:10 Hmm. How the heck can I listen to iTunes samples now, the listen link/button appears to be gone. #
  • 06:06 Sweet Vacation's new album, "Pop save the World", rules. It proves just how much Ame rican Pop needs to go before it's awesome. #

  • 19:43 @DHSHolly If not, ask @jessiepp for advice. He should be good with it, think he's on chapter 14. #
  • 19:44 Hmm. I wonder if there's MLB the shows for PS3? I have 07 I think for PS2 and I remember Sega said they'd bring it out for PS3.. #

  • 22:19 @slaughterrealms Hi. Can you put SR in text format? #
  • 22:21 @slaughterrealms Because the EReader is inaccessible to screen readers, and blind people can't at this time read it. #
  • 22:22 Has anyone able to read the Slaughter realms prolog, htt://www.slaughterrealms.com; new novel similar to deathlands and the like. #
  • 22:41 @officialalan Hey. I just came across the slaughter Realms website, and was wondering if you can make it accessible to the blind, #
  • 22:42 @officialalan As the EReader isn't accessible to screen readers. #
  • 22:48 What the heck; the prolog link is bit.ly/RgtuH and no sc reen reader sees it #
  • 23:34 @blindgeek Man. Have you seen Slaughter Realms at slaughterrealms.com? Written by a Deathlands author Alan Philipson but VO or any other #

  • 04:12 @swiftfm Hey. Love your site; just got a few problems with the VoiceOver screen reader coming from a blind user. #
  • 04:13 @swiftfm Right now, before searching, I have to press the search button to make the search box become editable for some reason. #
  • 04:14 @swiftfm Also, the upload button doesn't show up. The link does, but the "upload" button that's below, VOiceOver doesn't see it anyware. #
  • 04:14 @swiftfm Right now, those are the two is sues I'm having with the site. Otherwise it's pretty sweet. #
  • 04:16 @swiftfm If you wanna test out VoiceOver on the Mac with Safari, Command-F5. #
  • 04:17 @swiftfm And you can navigate with Control-Option left and right arrow. #
  • 04:34 Okay, now I'm mad, @swiftfm automaticly plays what I previously tweeted. Can't hear my screen reader over it. #
  • 04:35 Hmm. If there was a way to turn down the volume on @swiftfm... #
  • 04:41 Well, I do like how you can have your own station and things, but turning the voume down would be nice. #

oLife Presents: Thirty Minutes of Soul Trapper Audio (It's good for you)

Thanks to @JessiePP, here's a Soul Trapper recording which consists of the end of chapter 4 and the beginning of five.

Any blind user with an iPhone or iPod touch seriously must have this game. It can be a serious time waister for three or more hours.

A note: When it says "Button", what VoiceOver really means is, left, up, right and down. The buttons change depending on the current situation, but the only ones that are labeled are the dialog ones, none of which are in this recording unfortunately. If these were labeled their wouldn't be long periods of wait. Jessie has to memorize the button layout, as do all totally blind people will. But, that shouldn't be very hard.

I eventually had to stop recording because Jessie's stream began to buffer, as you'll hear toward the end.

Click here to stream or download Thirty Minutes of Soul Trapper

Enjoy.
