So while I did not get the part I tried out for I still keep an eye out to see whats going on with this show/special/wtf. Seems they launched a myspace page as well a a page on VH1's website itself.

But you didn't come here just to be referenced to a few links.

For the most part, I approve of the people they picked and they named the drummer appropriately.

Starting out with the singer.



Rutherford Bennington - Singer

When I went for my audition I had pleasure of playing with this guy(or at least I think I did.) Let me tell you he can really SING. He matches the look of ridiculous rock sterotypes from yesteryear and his hair simply goes everywhere. Cool.



Shakti Lipschitz - Bassist

Over the top name, over the top actions in the music video. Begging for attention. Seems cool enough. However doesn't seem to realize shes the bassist and plays the controller like a toy.



Captian Thunderdome - Drummer

This guys name is incredible. I could care less whatever he does. He could look faker or play worse than anyone else I've ever seen, hes still got an awesome name. Luckily he is an actual drummer and knows what hes doing. Thumbs up!



Max Griffiths - Guitarist

I have to admit I'm a little biased against him. He did get the part over me. But he does rock the almost slash hair. I do however have the legit complaint that he doesn't seem to exhude much energy in the video. He kinda stands there most of the time and when it does show him playing he also, like Shakti, doesn't look like hes playing a guitar. Just holds the strum bar and moves it up and down.

All together I think it can be a decent thing. Provide a few laughs and all. Here is the music video thats posted. More info is available through their myspace and VH1 page linked above.

Warning, video may cause physical pain.

So, what do you guys think?

So, I think I'm going to try to find something somewhat obscure and awesome every week or so. Make something of a half assed feature of it.

I'll be honest I had never played this one until I bought it earlier.





So far I'm pretty happy with what I have. It seems this can get a little ridiculously in depth so if any Disgaea junkies have some advice for me I would love to hear it.

Now here is my interesting twist.

This particular store also has one new and still sealed. Would that be considered a rarity and to be purchased immediately and stored in a quiet room?

Okay guys, I posted earlier about how I got a call from my local Game Crazy that they had a guitar hero 3 in store demo complete with guitar and everything. Generally you all yelled at me for pictures. Well, here you go.

Sorry about the quality, it's cell phone stuff.

I found the game to be ridiculously easy compared to previous Guitar Hero games. The button pressing timing was extremely forgiving this time around. Either that or I just got much MUCH better.

There ya go. Enjoy your picture proof.

So, I'm at work, typing away at my computer and I recieve a text message from my local Game Crazy in Byram, New Jersey.

Seems that they just got an in store Guitar Hero 3 demo.

I'm headed over there during lunch to go check it out, I'll have pictures up around 5:30/6:00.

Don't believe me? Call your local game stores. Or even the Byram/Stanhope Game Crazy.

Edit: Just stopped by a few Gamestops. None of them have it. Seems the only place that has it is Game Crazy right now. Pics coming ~6:00.

So, I have them both pre-ordered and I'm planning on picking up one of them tonight.

The big dilemma is, Orange Box on the 360 or the PC. I really want it on my PC, but thats been acting up lately. Plus if I get it on PC, I can give a few pieces of it away. (HL2, HL2EP1) However my PC gaming has been sparse lately. When I play FPS games there is a slight delay when I move my mouse to when it moves my aimer in the game unless I reduce the resolution quite a lot. What on Earth could be causing that?

I wouldn't mind playing through the whole game again on the 360 but are the graphics going to be anywhere as nice as they were on the PC?

I'm in a dilemma fellow Robots, please advise.

I'm leaning closer to the PC version, despite stupid aiming issues.

Is anyone even getting the 360 version? Anyone at all?

You got it, taken straight from Gamestop's web page, comes this quote, from me to you.

"For a limited time all customers who pre-order Half-Life 2 Orange Box will SAVE $5 off the regular price of $59.99. This offer is valid both online and in-store and applies to pre-orders only."

So I don't know if this is old or not but this is my first time hearing about it.

This seems to apply to all versions of the game and is a mighty fine deal. I may have to go drop $5.00 for a pre order for this sweet discount.
