Title: Rock Band 2

Developer: Harmonix

Platforms: X360, PS3, Wii, PS2

Release Dates: Sept. 15th (X360), Quarter 4 (PS3, Wii, PS2)

We all have been hearing the songs that will be available on Rock Band 2. So I decided to use this post to set the record straight. Just recently we also caught wind that for a small fee of $4.99, you’ll be able to copy all 55 songs, except Metallica “Enter Sandman”, Black Sabbath “Paranoid” and Tokio Hotel “Monsoon” from Rock Band 1 to your console in order to play them on Rock Band 2. In our podcast, I asked Carlos about the benefit and he mentioned the ability to play all your songs from one location. I’ll give him that, but to pay an additional $5 for convience annoys me.

I just discovered one of the funniest videos I have ever seen.  In the video, several British dudes attempt to travel through Alabama without getting shot or arrested.  The catch is that they also try to bring as much attention to themselves as possible.  With things like “NASCAR Sucks”, “Hillary For President” and “Man Love Rules” written on the side of their vehicles, I’m shocked they actually made it out alive.  The video does end in a sad note when they finally escape their Alabama adventure and end up in New Orleans.  They made a comment about how they thought the richest country in the world should have been able to rebuild the areas there and help the people of New Orleans with all the time that has passed.  But this is America and people have to realize we have long term memory loss.

I am sure most of you have already heard that Jack Thompson walked out on his hearing today.  As a result of walking out, it looks like Florida is going to move for “advanced” disbarment” according to Kotaku which means he’ll more than likely lose his right to practice law in Florida for 10 years.  On the surface this seems like a huge victory for gamers, but I almost feel sorry for Jack at this point.  Part of me wants to believe that he at least means well, even though he’s seriously misguided concerning video games.  Before walking out on his hearing today, he left the Florida Supreme Court with a lengthy note titled ‘Thompson’s Formal Objection To June 4 Sanctions “Hearing”.  In the end, it’s fairly obvious that Jack Thompson’s career in law is coming to a slow and strange end, but it really doesn’t change anything.  If you have a little time, you might want to check it out:
