Means of Convincing a Friend to do Something...

Sign in to disble this ad
SoOOOoooo.... I want to force my friends to split the cost of Rock Band with me, lol. I need ways to do this... other than telling them over and over again to do it! The two guys I want to do this with are really good at guitar hero (so am I actually, yeah I know, I play it too much... w/e...) and I want to make a 'Rock Band' band with them. We would tear **** up! lol

anyways... help me get rock band!



I think some reasoning I will try to take up is that they have contests/tournaments for this stuff that we could potentially win money in... besides just having a good time playing the game...

start with the hands... plenty of breakable bones there.

Might interfere with their playing abilities, though.

So you want to spend money you don't have in order to enter an orgyfest of nerds so that you can win money?

Your logic is beyond me.

And this time, lawns will not be mowed.

Splitting the cost of something like this with friends always ends in disaster.

I'm sure elsewhere, on 2 other forums, some kids posted about how their friend wants them to split the cost of Rock Band with them, and they want to know how they can get him to shut it.

If you want the game bad enough, sell some of your gear.

This sounds like the intro of a sitcom to me.

You can find mad cash underneath of rocks and shrubberies you throw. And for killing enemies, especially the kind that shoot rocks. Also, there's digging for treasure and target shooting just south of town. If you dig for treasure a lot you can also find a piece of heart. There's another piece of heart in the dark world above the entrance to Death Mountain. Wait...I think I'm describing Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.

With the money that it takes to buy Rockband, I would much rather buy myself a good Marching-Snare, and some more Ralph Hardimon signature sticks.
