Let me set the scene for you: it’s 2007. The chunky flat screen or CRT in your basement is glowing like a light at the end of the tunnel. You are surrounded by friends after completing the “Maps” in “Yes, Yes, Yes” in different difficulty levels in Rock band. Mountain Dew cans are scattered around like a dumpster. You feel better than you ever have in your life. Those were the days. And they still can be, now Fortnite Festival adds support for local multiplayer.
Sorry for the “Fortnite Festival” party
For now Fortnite can slowly turn into RobloxI can’t say much bad about their updates. LEGO Brick Life is a surprisingly fun little social sim, and Rocket races it’s… well, I guess it’s okay. But Fortnite Festival intended for the sick, people who have been missing rhythm games since they unceremoniously disappeared from the face of the Earth. A partnership with Harmonix, the original development team Rock band franchise, Fortnite Festival this is the best way to set up a rhythm game if you don’t feel comfortable with setting up A clone hero.

But most importantly, it’s a game where I can get El Chapulín Colorado to play TMNT-themed bass guitar to Roddy Rich and Mustard’s “Ballin’.” And I only needed to take out a small mortgage on my house to make it happen. Seriously, then Fortnite Festival a local multiplayer update will hit the game on January 14th and will give players a reason to get the plastic tools out of their closets again.
Even if you don’t want to lose your instruments, you can play with controllers. But where is the interest in that? Sure, my knees may hurt and creak more than when I was 14, but I know I can still bust a move with the best of them. I just might need some extra Tylenol in the morning. Let’s hope a new generation is about to experience the best gaming memories of their lives. All I can do is smile and join in the fun. Oh yeah, and Hatsune Miku will be there soon too. Wild.
