Continue readingJ and I love the Guitar Hero and Rock Band games. My preferred instrument is the drums, while J likes to rock it out on the guitar — on expert mode, no less. We always joke about how years down the road, J will turn into Randy Marsh (my favorite South Park character), and so I can soooo see him re-enacting this scene in 10 years: When we first heard about the new Rock Band 3 and how it will incorporate a new instrument — the keyboard — we were definitely intrigued. Will it be a keytar? Will it just be an arrangement of cheap plastic buttons that resemble a keyboard? Or will it actually be a full-sized keyboard? Today, our questions were answered,...

The three choices consist of: 2D illustrations, 3D CGI versions, and old-school 8-bit renderings that are sure to bring back fond memories. Why are all the cool products only released in Japan?

So yes, I am usually on the high range of the "normal" scale of the BMI chart. And I was fine with it...

We love zombie flicks, zombie video games, and even zombie books (I personally think Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is overrated but believe World War Z to be one of the best books of the past decade). And we're pretty sure that if there were ever to be a zombie apocalypse, we would be able to survive. So how could I resist posting these Zombie Street Fighter illustrations by Manuel Augusto Dischinger Moura? Ken Chun Li Guile Akuma Ryu Camy Ibuki Blanka Sagat I can definitely see some Resident Evil influence in the Zombie Blanka (holy tongue-whips, Batman!), and like to think that Chun Li and Guile look especially gruesome in their undead states. Which is your favorite? Are you a fan of the zombie...
