About Me
My name is Tony, I'm 26 and currently run an online, vinyl-only record store with my wife - NerdAlertRecords.com. Before that, I worked at Nintendo for 10 months in the department where 1st and 3rd parties games much pass a rigorous set of tests before they are allowed to be put into production, wrote game reviews over at AceGamez.us.com for about 2 years and graduated from college with a BA in Creative Writing.

I'm kinda in a gaming lull right now, I think I burned myself out by gaming 12 hours a game for 10 months, but I'm hoping Call Of Duty 4 will help that.

No Use For A Name helping "develop" Guitar Rising?!
wannabepunktony | 8:14 PM on 02.08.2008 12 comments




Now this is some kick ass news! I mean, the announcement of GameTank's real guitar using, Guitar Hero-like game called Guitar Rising was awesome in its own right, but now Fat Wreck Records let loose that longtime punk rockers No Use For A Name are directly involved with the game! The Fat update uses the word "developing" instead of "involved," which I can't find any info to back it up, so maybe that's a misunderstanding. Maybe its not, someone know?

Either way, I love No Use For A Name and if they are able to push forward even a fraction of a punk rock agenda into the rock gaming world, I'm all for it. I'm sick of punk rock getting the bitch treatment in Guitar Hero/Rock Band, as they continue to put in songs that just aren't fun to play from crusty bands that are important to the history of the genre but not necessary noteworthy guitar-wise. Plus it would give me an excuse to put some new strings on that dusty guitar in the closet. ;P

True story:

Back in 2005 when the Warped Tour was in Columbus OH I was working at an EB Games that was about a quarter mile from the venue.

These guys came in who looked like total fucking nerds and were talking about games, but shitty games. This one guy was about to buy Tomb Raider: AoD before I stopped him.

So we get to talking and I start to ask him about why they're dressed as they are.

"Oh we're here for Warped Tour."

"Oh really," I said. "Who you going to see?"

"Oh uh...no dude, you know the band No Use for a Name, right?"

"Uh yeah...I think they suck, why?"

"Uh...I, I'm in the band."

It was the guy with the star wars tattoo in his arm.

In conclusion; the guys in No Use for a Name are gamers, although they play shitty games, and I totally dissed them without even realizing it.

Tazar ist eh awesome.
