The month in Xbox: Games on Demand, Avatars, and deals photo

While it's freakishly convenient when companies cram all sorts of knowledge into their press releases, it also saddens me in a way. With an abundance of information, it can be hard to find room for the funny or otherwise offbeat in such a tightly-packed post. 

That's my reasoning for the header image and I'm sticking to it. First up, here are the month's new Games on Demand titles: Call of Duty 3 and Rainbow Six Vegas 2 (out now); Grand Theft Auto IV (October 13); Midnight Club Los Angeles, Army of Two, and Sonic Unleashed (Oct. 20); and finally DiRT and Dead Space on the 27th.

As for Avatar accessories, there's a bunch of it on the way. Madden NFL gear on the 8th, Halloween costumes on the 15th, and GamerchiX outfits (kill me) on the 22nd. If I catch any of you sporting clothing from that last one -- even for the sake of "irony" -- you're getting booted off my friends list.

Finally, there are deals to be had. On October 12, the Hasbro Family Game Night-branded Xbox LIVE Arcade titles go on sale, then it's Resident Evil 5's "Versus Mode" DLC on the 19th, and Fable II Pub Games on the 26th. Decent line-up, especially when you consider some of the so-called deals of the last few weeks.

Well, it's either the finale to Horribly Disfigured Moneyshot GamerchiXXX or some dinosaur flick from Disney.

It's a music video, that's all I can figure out.

It's this weird music video... were a dude rolls up to a cave and goes inside to fight/dance with these aliens and monsters... right? I've been trying to find a link to the video but I can't. I'm pretty sure that's what it's from. The only time I've seen it was on one of those weird "Remember 80's" type shows.

Am I correct with my guess?

"Bop 'Til You Drop" by Rick Springfield? That might be the alien guard getting down before the bossman alien gives him a dirty look.

I have never understood how they translated a "dance in the streets" song into sci-fi madness. Unless the little vocoder "Bop 'til you drop" refrain inspired thoughts of outer space.

It kinda looks like that stupid baby dinosaur from land of the lost that came out in the early 90's.

Well, it's on M2 so there's no way it can be a music video...:P

I've been waiting for the day when those Hasbro games go down in price. I refuse to pay $10 for each game (there's 7 total) when the PS2/Wii versions are $30/40.

okay I was just watching the video where image was from again (that I hadn't seen since I was a kid)and I do just have to say:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdXryyFw7No
I have to say
#1 why is the hero an unrelatable horse lizard?
#2 what a dick, he walks into a bar sees a "dark crystal" looking girl he likes, kills her boyfriend and takes off
#3 what is with the dude with a tv on his head
#4 what is with the rotating pyramid?
#5 why are the jawa things praying?
#6 I wonder what billy ocean thought of this video or if he realized how rediculous it is?
