My personal favorite guitarist Eddie Van Halen did an interview with CNN recently to show off his new guitars. I know this isn't big news to the gaming community, but I'm glad to know that they are planning another tour after his kid graduates this summer.  I saw them in 2008, they still put on a good show. What do you think? Did you even know who Van Halen were before Guitar Hero: World Tour?

EDIT: It won't let me embed the video, odd. It's Here http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/showbiz/2009/01/30/quan.eddie.van.halen.cnn.

Did... Alex die? Did I miss something?

Dude, Luigi's Mansion

I think i'll post this picture again, I've got a giant Halo 3 poster up on the wall:

Damn, I now I know why they're always in a hurry to end the podcast quickly, that does not look very comfy.

I've been a big fan of the old stuff ever since my dad played Van Halen records all the time when I was a kid. I like some of the new stuff, but not as much. You would probably like my collection. I’ve been trying to fill up my 120gb iPod. It’s not done yet, I still need to purchase a bunch more artists. So far I’ve got nearly complete discography’s of:

AC/DC, Ace Frehley, Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, Audioslave, Beatles, Billy Joel, Black Sabbath, Blue Oyster Cult, Bob Seger, Bon Jovi, Boston, Bruce Springsteen, Cheap Trick, Chicago, The Clash, Coldplay, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Damn Yankees, Dvaid Bowie, David Lee Roth, Deep Purple, Def Lepard, Dio, Don McLean, Eagles, Extreme, Franz Ferdinand, Gene Simmions, Gorillaz, Green Day, Guns N Roses, Iron Maiden, Jack Johnson, Jimi Hendrix, Journey, Judas Priest, Kiss, Led Zeppelin, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Metallica, Motley Crue, Nirvana, Ozzy Osbourne, Pantera, Paul Stanley, Peter Criss, Pink Floyd, Queen, Queens of the Stone Age, Ratt, Red Hot Chili Peppers, REO Speedwagon, Rolling Stones, Rush, Sammy Hagar, Spianl Tap, Steve Miller Band, Styx, Ted Nugent, Tenacious D, Tool, U2, Van Halen, The Who, and ZZ Top.

I’ve also got a lot of: Sting/Police, Elton John, Cream, Eric Clapton, Foo Fighters, Foreigner, KoRn, Megadeath, Montrose, Motorhead, Paul McCartney, Pearl Jam, Rage Against the Machine, Sex Pistols, Slayer, Supertramp, The Doors, The Flaming Lips, The Smashing Pumpkins, and Weezer.

Like I said, I still need more to fill the iPod, but I’m getting close.

As awesome as this thread is, does it have more discussion value than this one from last week: http://www.giantbomb.com/forums/off-topic/31/good-news/227545/  ...? Because that thread was awesome! But it's locked. And this thread is just as pointless... But of coarse that thread wasn't started by a staffer

Oh Snipzor, so full of hate. Were you beat up by a gang of republicans as a kid? It's 2009 and we still hate on people with different beliefs, so so sad. :-(

"Awesome. I'll definitely buy this one. I never actually finished Banjo-Tooie before, I remember being stuck in that dinosaur level or something. Anyway, this is good news. I actually just finished up the XBLA version of Banjo-Kazooie a couple weeks ago. There's still a couple more achievements I plan to grab, but man, a couple of them are pretty tough."

The first two were pretty fun, and yeah they looked exactly the same graphically. I'd recommend them, they are as close to a re-release of Super Mario RPG as you are going to get.
