I’d been tipped off several months ago that the folk at Harmonix had slipped a reference to myself intoRock Band 3, for whatever bizarre reason. I thought that was pretty cool, but didn’t hear anything else from Harmonix after that, so I assumed it never happened.

Then I am informed that there is a monocle accessory in the game called the “Sterling Reputation”, and I kind of piss my knickers.

Despite not being a major player of plastic instrument music games (because I suck at them), it’s something of an honor to think that I’d be namechecked in such a huge game, especially with a retro callback to the days where I’d actually wear a douchebag monocle (this was before the douchebag aviators).
