So far, the most stupid and fun announcement to come out of E3 2011 is the word that Ice-T’s metal band, Body Count, will reunite to celebrate Gears of War 3‘s Horde mode. Once upon a time, the band sold out concert halls and made headlines with such songs as “Evil Dick” and “Cop Killer”. Almost 20 years later, the aging rap metal pioneers are back, but this time, they’re singing about videogames.
Will pledging allegiance to Gears of War been enough to get today’s metal loving youth to care about Ice-T? The guy is 54-years-old.

"The beach, the trees, even the clouds in the sky... everything is build from little tiny pieces of stuff. Just like in a Gameboy game... a nice tight little world... and all its inhabitants... made out of little building blocks... Why can't these little pixels be the building blocks for love..? For loss... for understanding"- James Kochalka, Reinventing Everything part 1
