Beating The Beatles: Rock Band wasn't hard except for the part where you have to play that last setlist. ("Dig a Pony"?? Are you fucking kidding me? Btw, I'm still playing "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" as I write this.) It's not a matter of difficulty, it's about geeking the shit out with Rock Band but, like, not because ZOMG PARAMOUR IS ON IT. It's like good music and stuff. (Caveat: see "Dig a Pony.") The Beatles, man. The only way Harmonix could possibly turn me into any more of a giggling girl is if they release Rock Band: Abba. (That way [livejournal.com profile] moonlightalice could get the keyboard part she's always wanted!)

So, yeah, we got to the ending video. And it was awesome. I also got to show the intro video to a crowd of about six-seven people who'd never seen it before, all of whom were entirely blown away. I mentioned that if Harmonix got together with a proper animation studio and wanted to make The Beatles: the Animated Series in the style of that video, I would watch it forever. No seriously, I'd buy another TV so it could be running in the background of my house or apartment all the time. (Future fascist overlords looking for a way to insert Big Brother take note! The Truman Show says what?)

This morning, a blog linked to the video, and I immediately went over to Harmonix's dedicated Beatles: Rock Band site to shoot them an e-mail saying that the animator who did that intro is amazing and needs to be employed for the rest of eternity. Preferably on that TB:TAS idea I had. PLZ 2 B MAKIN THAT HAPPN, HARMONIX?

I doubt I'll get a substantiative reply to this e-mail, for all that they promise that any one who writes in a request will get a personal response. (I know that because I already got the form letter telling me so.) But it would be nice if they would. Because I'd like to know that they understand how very much I love that video. A response would be lovely. Even if it came with a restraining order.

The video in question:


(There was a slight delay in posting as the video auto-loaded at their website and I was forced to watch it again. CAN'T LOOK AWAY.)

Man that's a great video! Except now I don't have sound. (That's not on your end, though. Damn computer :()

Oh man, you gotta reboot or something because as beautiful as that video is, the music really does make it that much better.
