Within a few days last month, two Rock Band guitar strum bars gave out. Whereas I initiated a guitar replacement via EA’s self help site, Blake (aka Sling Media CEO) took matters into his own hands. After removing about a dozen screws, he discovered a small leaf switch was no longer making contact when strummed. He swiped one of his daughter’s animal stickers (panda), folded it a few times, and adhered it to the switch – bringing the contacts closer together. Problem solved. However, his little intimidation campaign doesn’t scare me:
Now I have the guitar-playing capabilities of a human and a baby panda. Watch out.
