Led Zeppelin Says ‘NO’ to Guitar Hero!

Saturday, July 5th, 2008

Despite the success of Guitar Hero and Rock Band, you won’t see Led Zeppelin’s iconic tunes pop up in either game any time soon, according to the Wall Street Journal. The band, specifically Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page, is not comfortable giving gaming companies access to the group’s master recordings — a necessary step in adding the band . . .

Real instrument - Actually making a real sound and learning a skill useful for ones own expression. Rhythm game - A game that tests button skill and is something to pass the time. There's absolutely nothing wrong with this, but I think…

Ensuring It Still Feels Like the Old Ball Game

Tuesday, June 24th, 2008

The ballpark organist Lambert Bartak is a reminder of how ballparks used to sound, and feel, and how they increasingly do not.

But that was just one song — a perfectly timed rendition of the Mickey Mouse Club theme (“M-I-C-K-E-Y, M-O-U-S-E”) after a controversial call 20 years ago — among…

Transformers 2: Who Is The Fallen & Why Do They Want Revenge

Tuesday, June 10th, 2008

Over the past week there has been a lot of 'Transformers 2' news, rumors and photos. Through the random shots of new vehicles & running Asians (the scenes shot are supposed to take place in a fictional Chinese city), there has been speculation as to who the Fallen is in the full title 'Transformers 2: Revenge Of The Fallen'

Now do I think that this story is going to be replayed word for word in Transformers 2? Looking at the last movie, I would suggest definitely not. However, heres how I imagine it will play out: Theyve chosen a name like Revenge of the Fallen…

Frank Miller Assures That Spirit Is Not Another Sin City’

Sunday, June 1st, 2008

In an upcoming entry in his production blog, writer/director Frank Miller addresses some concerns regarding his upcoming adaptation of Will Eisner 1940s comic book series.

Another change that fans of the Eisner comic book series are concerned with is Miller’s decision to change The Spirit’s traditional blue hat, mask, and jacket to black. Miller explains that the Spirit’s original blue…

Are you kidding me? Live version of Punch Out theme

Sunday, June 1st, 2008

King Hippo would love this song, if he were alive today.

Gameatopia is a great distraction from work (unless your job is testing flash games). They've got an extensive archive of classic games and add new ones every day. They are personally responsible for over 1000 lost man hours at…

Is Spider-Man 4 & 5 Gonna Be Shot at Same Time?

Tuesday, May 20th, 2008

The Spider-Man movie franchise has definitely brought Sony a lot of good press, despite the lackluster outing the third installment made. But, a new rumor has reinvigorated Spider-Man fans the world over, with the possibility that future Spider-Man movies 4 and 5 could be filmed at the same time.

But just because there is no official word doesnt mean that we cant all theorize like crazy. For my bet, having spent a lot of time with Spider-Man over my life, I would suggest a paired installment would weave a storyline including the…

Don’t Leave: ‘Iron Man’ Scene After the End Credits

Saturday, May 3rd, 2008

Just wanted to warn you all to stay put until after the films end credits have finished, because theres an extra scene.

After seeing the movie, I can say: 1) way to make a comeback Robert Downey, Jr.!; 2) starting off a movie with an AC/DC song is one way to hook me in immediately; 3) Jon Favreau, you sir, are officially trustworthy; 4) Shaun Toub,…

McGowan To Star In ‘Barbarella’ Remake

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008

Actress Rose McGowan is set to play the lead role in Robert Rodriguez’s redux of Barbarella.

I, personally, don’t like McGowan as the lead here. She’s got a good look and she’s very attractive and I assume she’s willing to not wear much clothing, as that is a big part of what we know as Barbarella…
