Sure, some studies have shown that excessive gaming can lead to less interest in things like studying and doing homework, but it turns out that, pretty unsurprisingly, playing Guitar Hero or Rock Band might actually lead children to want to learn... to rock out on real instruments, anyway. That's right, according to a truly shocking report in The Times of London, roughly half of the 3 to 18 year-olds in the UK have played a ...

Se existisse uma realidade alternativa, no melhor estilo daqueles da DC Comics, Marvel… Se existisse a publisher Arctivision… Não teríamos Guitar Hero, Rock Band… Gaita Hero. A moda seria o glorioso VAGINA HERO! Os caras do Ripten inventaram o jogo, um lançamento, telas e até um controle bizarro. Vale a pena pra dar umas risadas aqui e ali… =D

Spot on, as usual. Well, except for the all the bibbly-babbly about Australia residents not getting Rock Band soon enough. Everyone knows that Australia isn’t somewhere you live - it’s somewhere you fly to every few years for snorkeling and koala petting. (Man, I miss Australia.)

Music is exceptionally - my wife may say irrationally - important to me. I can walk into a store, determined to spend hundreds of dollars, only to turn around and walk right back out if something horrible is playing inside. Music has never been disposable background noise; it's defined me, inspired me, soothed me, and provided a soundtrack to my life. I think this began in second grade, when my father introduced me to music ...

Filed under: Sony PlayStation 2, Sony PlayStation 3, Microsoft Xbox 360, Peripherals, Rhythm Rock Band developer Harmonix has struck back at what it calls an 'opportunistic and baseless' $5 million suit over the quality of its drum pedal, which has fractured on at least one Joystiq staffer. Harmonix says that "when used as directed, our drum pedals are designed to provide years of enjoyment."...So wait a minute. All you need to do to keep the ...

Owners of the PlayStation 3 version of Rock Band 2 will be asked to upgrade their copies to version 1.01 today. That hundredth increase in version numbering brings with it a bunch of new bug fixes, the most noteworthy being a corrected "interoperability issue" with Guitar Hero World Tour drum and guitar peripherals. Happy, happy clutter-free days! Even better, if you found yourself somehow on the receiving end of a copy of Konami's Rock Revolution, ...

Or the concept of deposit insurance in general. It seems like a no-brainer now, but in 1933, when the bill which was to create the FDIC was being debated, the American Bankers Association came out against it.There's serious question as to whether Citibank, the biggest bank in America, is going to survive the weekend. They've gone to the Feds for help. But there are no hordes of depositors in bank branches shouting for their money. ...

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed Geeks have been begging me to start playing either Rock Band or Guitar Hero. I thought that if I’m going to spend my time playing something like that, I want it to be a real musical instrument. I know that learning the hand-eye coordination is a huge plus though. You can develop your skills that way. But have you thought about ...

Dorsimar, the Argentine model, actress, singer, and activist once posed in Mexico in her fight against the poaching of turtles. She believes that her man doesn’t need turtle eggs to boost their potency. With a figure like that (39-24-35), who needs them turtle eggs anyway? She earned the praise of turtle lovers but also gained the ire of women’s rights activist. The US Homeland Security wasn’t too fond of Dorismar either so in 2006, they ...
