So yesterday, while he was screwing around clearing his head, Tucker sent me a link to this video of a chick playing Avenged Sevenfold on Expert on Rock Band on the flute. I played flute in high school [don't laugh] and I suppose Tucker thought this video would be of interest to me.
About a minute into the video, I knew I had found internet and …read more

Let’s get this out of the way right now: The Beatles: Rock Band is going to be HUGE. Record sales numbers will give way to new fans of the rhythmic gaming genre — people who’ve never even played a video game before.
I guarantee it. Take a look at the trailer:

We’re less than two days away from the official start of E3 here in sunny L.A., which begins on Tuesday (though a trio of major press conferences take place Monday). I got into town today and took a long walk around the Los Angeles Convention Center, where signs of E3 are popping up all over. If there was any doubt about this year’s event being a return to the truly big E3s of yesteryear, those thoughts were washed away by these larger-than-life sights around the convention center!
