So many new songs are being put in the Purchased genre. Currently on the song list, only 1 of the last 15 isn't a purchased song. It will be almost 7 weeks from the last non-purchased new song to the next one. I know they want credits to be more valuable, but adding so many purchased songs at once doesn't give people time to save up for them, especially if they're still trying to get secret songs. This doesn't seem ideal to me, but I suppose it does give us something to work for. I guess one good thing is that almost all of the new purchased songs are out of my comfortable playing range anyway, so I don't really need tons of credits to get the couple I should be able to play fairly well.

Not that it matters, but I'm going on vacation tomorrow and won't be back for at least a week. Hopefully my ranks won't suffer too much. :)

With two more new FCs tonight, I've brought my stats bar here to 200 public FCs. I have more than that, but not all songs count for the stats bar. My two new FCs were at difficulties 7 and 8, so it's good to see some progress there. My average rank slipped a bit though, but that happens regularly. It's hard to keep my average up.

I just got my first PC/AAA at difficulty 6 (Tricky) -- My Darkest Hour [Heavy]. :) There are still a bunch of songs at difficulties 3-5 that I haven't PCed yet, so this was a pleasant surprise.

I just realized that I've now been a member of this site for four years. It doesn't seem like it's been that long, but maybe that's in part because my old computer couldn't handle the game and I had to basically stop playing for a while. Things have certainly changed over the years, but it's still a fun game to pass the time. Back when I started, I was terrible since I had never played a game like this before. I'm much better now -- certainly not one of the best in the game, but I generally do OK as long I'm not playing songs in the hardest third (by difficulty). When I started, I don't think I'd imagine I'd be doing that now or even necessarily playing for this long. I guess that's how good this game is, it keeps you hooked. :)
