It was announced today that the next installment of the Guitar Hero franchise would be called “Guitar Hero: Aerosmith” and would features songs from the band, such as “Don’t Want to Miss a Thing,” “Sweet Emotion” and “Dream On,” as well as songs from bands that either toured with or were inspired by Aerosmith. While I don’t really know what that last part means (except that “walk This Way” will probably be in the game), I can tell you that this is a rather interesting development.

When Guitar Hero 3 came out, everyone started talking about how this was more of a “sidegrade” than an “upgrade.” Most of the new features sucked, like Battle Mode. I don’t think anyone liked that. They emphasized the whole “Legends of Rock” thing, but there was really only one in the game, Slash, and you couldn’t even make your own character. But the game was nice and hard on expert and had a pretty good tracklist, so I don’t think anyone really regrets buying it.

Then Rock Band came out, and really, who cared about Guitar Hero anymore? Rock Band showed all the faults in that franchise, with its amazing multiplayer, customization, even DLC. Rock Band was vastly superior to Guitar Hero, and many, myself included, swore off Guitar Hero once and for all.

Activision must be aware that a major evolution for Guitar Hero would be necessary for it to win back all those that have switched to Rock Band. And Aerosmith was their best idea? Don’t get me wrong, I like my fair share of Aerosmith songs, but come on, a whole game? The only band that would work with is KISS.

I hate to say it, but my time with my beloved Guitar Hero may be over.

Well back for more list? eh? huh? Well f**k that. Time to talk about the juice.

Not only was Wednesday one of the happiest days for baseball fans, with the pitchers and catchers reporting, it was also one of the darker days in baseballs long history. Seven-time Cy Young award winner Roger Clemens raised that powerful arm of his and duked it out with long time friend and trainer Brian Mcnamee. I’ve never heard of such an interesting debate, especially one that is so lopsided. Almost every sports writer in America sees Clemens as guilty. He looks so uncomfortable up there, with his lawyers jumping up every five seconds. Speaking of his lawyer, Rusty Harden is the most despicable people on the face of the earth. He has no class, no grace, and carries him self with such a attitude that makes me throw up all over my computer. This quote sent me over the top today. Mcnamee’s lawyer made a remark about how a presidential pardon could come in to place because of how buddy buddy Bush and Clemens are (which is not out of the question), and Hardin has the nerve to say, “Richard Emery just has to quit smoking his own dope.” Great. You are so fancy. You should be in a fancy movie and people can call you Mr. Fancy.

Now that I got that out of my system…

McNamee has said he injected 4 people with either steroids or human growth hormone. Chuck Knoblauch (a childhood hero of mine), Debbie Clemens his wife, former teammate Andy Pettite, and of course the accused, Clemens himself. Knoblauch, his wife, and Pettite have all confessed. Why on earth would McNamee lie about Roger?

In conclusion, why the hell is Larry the Cable Guy on Leno twice in the same week?!

And Roger Clemens is hella guilty. And Brian McNamee is a total douchebag and should not be viewed as a hero, because he is just a big a part of tainting the national past-time as Roger Clemens or Barry Bonds are.

For Valentine’s Day, my mom bought me a box of chocolates and a card with the Cheetah Girls on it. The card sings as well. I’m yet to hear the whole clip. My brother Paul received a Napoleon Dynamite card that dances, it’s kind of funny but I mean, what year is it? Anyways, I hope your Valentine’s Day is just as special! Just make sure you don’t go to see Jumper!

As of Wednesday, January 13th, basically, all writers have returned to their respective late night talk shows. So Here are my thoughts regarding what I viewed.

First off was The Daily Show which I was surprised, pretty boring. Of course, I anticipated all of these shows to start with the “Hey the writers are back” shtick, so I tried to look past that, but “The Daily Show” felt flat. Perhaps Mr. Stewart’s writers were rusty? Let’s not forget that Jon had one of the most serious interviews I’ve ever seen on The Daily Show. Something about a guy who was writing a book with a Pakistani lady who got assassinated.

The Colbert Report was better than it’s been for awhile. Especially a great segment where Steve went to the Air and Space Museum. There, he told a group of young children that the whole history of human culture came from a strand of hair. I was glad to see it was back to its silly self.

Also, I caught some of Leno which was lame. I’m not sure when he got his writers cause I’m not sure he ever had writers. Larry the Cable Guy as a co-host for a whole week? This is what’s wrong with America.

Conan was better than. I liked a lot of the wacky stunts he’d been doing during the strike, but have to admit it was starting to wear thin. Though I miss the beard. The guests weren’t too thrilling and Simple Plan sucked (though that’s nothing new)

Not as exciting of return as I hoped for, but certainly better with the writers. I shall not dare watch Carson Daly for I cherish life too much. Have a pleasant tomorrow and keep watching the stars.

-Otteni out.

Hi there everybody, which is probably just C-Wall, Jamal, and Runs-House, but hopefully we’ll have a larger audience some days. Some things I am burning on:

1. Spring Training
As most of us don’t know, baseball season is just around the corner. Pitchers and catchers reported yesterday, and It looks like the M’s new acquisition Erik Bedard got the nod to be the starter for opening day. King Felix seemed to be fine with it, after all he is apart of the best 1-2 punch in the American League. Another exciting tid-bit is that FSN will be carrying 150 games this season–all in HD.

A list usually has more than 1 thing on it, but it’s almost time for conan, so since my roomate is being a horny douchebag, i’m gonna have to find another tv. That’s a post for some other time.

This blog will hopefully be the hub for John, Colin, Matt and I to post relevant things for you all to read. It will be very serious and we’re probably going to tackle a lot of hard-hitting issues. You’ve been warned.

I hope we don’t get all bored of this real soon and give up. With a project like this, a slow death is much more suitable.
