Battle of the Bands is an upcoming video game published by THQ and developed by Planet Moon Studios for the Wii console. It is a rhythm game in a similar style to the Guitar Hero series, however does not use any peripherals outside of the standard Wii Remote.
The game feature 30 licensed songs with 5 cover versions done in completely different styles. The five main genres of music are Rock, Funk/Hip-Hop, Country Western, Latin, and Marching Band. There will also be three tracks performed with an orchestra.
The game features two of the eleven bands in the game playing the song head-to-head against one another. Notes will roll up from the bottom of the screen (as opposed to from the top like similar games) and the player must move the remote in sync. The game also features various power-ups including electrifying the other player's board, shrinking notes or flipping the notes around. However, certain instances allow the other player to block the effects from taking place with synced button presses. The music of the player playing the best will have their music playing dominantly, with the others being less audible.

I only collect data of Top 10 player, and only some of them. I only collect 2 player data currently, and that 2 fulfill at least one of these criterias :
- networth higher than me (since I'm #3, means #1 & #2)
- bigger growth than me (monthly gain as percentage or absolute amount is bigger than me).
Even for those 2 player, I didn't collect all data all the time. I only do this when I have free time and feel like doing it (means have nothing else to do).
Gain from collecting data : nothing directly. Indirectly : learning when to move in or move out of a stock, how to manage better my investment, when I should stop doing something (long or short). It always pay to try to learn something from someone better than you.
@zukaus,
I missed your reply, so didn't reply earlier. I apologize that I make a wrong assumption about you. I misread your post, and reply to something that wasn't what you meant.
