Dry your eyes, drummer. We feel your sense of loss at the news that Rock Band 2 may not be getting its promised second kick pedal after all, ruling out proper reenactments of Lars' two-foot prowess (without a little modding). Now at least you can improve the quality of that one kicker you do have, replacing it with something a little more weighty. Nyko's aptly-named Metal Pedal, a bargain at $20, works with both Rock Band games as well as Guitar Hero: World Tour on all platforms, and is made of real metal to give a more authentic heft. No, nothing will feel quite like the real thing, but it's surely better than that cracked hunk of plastic you've been meaning to send back to Harmonix for months.

Get it on iTunes: Christmas With Weezer

2008 has been one of the most significant years for that strange and peculiar ragbag of eccentric genii that made up the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. After sadly limping along for many years, the organisation closed its doors a decade ago, one of the more poignant victims of cheap digital technology and the bedroom aesthetic. This collection of releases is tellingly significant in terms of the Workshop’s importance. nbsp; nbsp; The unaccountable legacy, though, is an imaginative one. How many people in this country associate the future with electronic sound, and the Workshop could well be the reason why. For those growing up from the beginning of the 60’s onwards, television had the power to bewitch, an art form still capable of having a spectacular feel of the event. nbsp; nbsp; Through providing jingles, effects, incidental music, theme music for TV and radio (especially for educational school programmes) the Workshop enjoyed a truly inestimable influence. Their output reached the lives of millions, every age and every walk of life, way beyond the reaches of even the biggest of rock bands. They set a precedent by marrying electronic sound composed in the most painstaking and laborious manner imaginable and elevated the sometimes cheapest of images into something uncanny. Maybe the role of Dr Who cannot be over-estimated enough- a pop cultural phenomenon possibly as significant as Elvis but wildly stranger.

Si vous êtes un fou furieux et que vous avez déjà fait voler en éclat vos accessoires de Rock Band 2, alors cette news est pour vous. Cette pédale, décrite comme spécialement conçu pour le métal, sera vendue pour combler la faible résistance de certaines pédales des kits batteries de Rock Band 2. ...

As a result of this class action proliferation, I was asked by a reader to explain this whole class action concept in a little more detail. I'm sure most people have some idea of the basic concept behind the class action, but not necessarily why it's become the weapon of choice, so to speak, of certain disgruntled gamers or what these lawsuits actually entail. br /br /The basic idea behind a class action suit is to resolve a large number of suits with similar elements in one proceeding, rather than requiring each to have its own proceeding. These similarly situated plaintiffs make up the 'class' in the class action. Taking the red ring suit as an example, there are a large number of people whose Xbox360s red ringed who could file suit under the theory presented. Rather than force Microsoft to potentially deal with each suit individually, they can deal with that 'class' in a single legal action. In reality, that's a gross oversimplification of the process.pa href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/12/04/lgj-class-dismissed/" rel="bookmark"Continue reading emLGJ: Class Dismissed/em/a/pp style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/12/04/lgj-class-dismissed/"LGJ: Class Dismissed/a originally appeared on a href="http://www.joystiq.com"Joystiq/a on Thu, 04 Dec 2008 21:00:00 EST.

You can learn how to sing AND perform on stage with professional vocal training from a veteran performer. If you want to find that incredible voice hiding inside of you, we can help you find it quickly, and for a lot less money. YES... YOU CAN SING! If you don't believe it I can prove it to you just as I proved it to over 200 others in the GTA - 3 of whom qualified at the Canadian Idol auditions! I've been singing in choirs since age 6 and in rock bands since age 13. For the last 6 years, I've been teaching vocals to kids and adults who want to sing for fun and money from Mississauga, Oakville, Etobicoke, Toronto, and Brampton. Although I primarily teach Rock, Pop, Country and Hip Hop, the training can also be used to sing Gospel, Opera, or any other style. Controlling you vocal chords/voice is not as hard as you think, once you learn the secrets of the pros. I can also help you learn about studio recording and assist you with your demo, and preparation for auditions. Our lessons are very reasonable and we'll teach at your place or our studio 6 days per week. Call us (Craig or Lisa) at 905-891-8191 and lets talk about your new career or hobby - SINGINGbr /

As previously mentioned, today Offworld moved just a little closer to that long-stated goal of bringing in more influence from outside the games industry proper with its first new feature from Ignatz Award winning and Eisner nominated comic artist James Kochalka, who will be creating new monstrous Miis for the site which you can bring home to your own Wii. We also saw that Rock Band is about to get a little bit country, made a plea for more developers to praise rather than scold their players, found new iPhone games based on bondage and argument-settling by music, and saw Sega racing classic Outrun re-made for Nintendo's Virtual Boy. Finally, we saw a very Weezer Christmas coming to iPhone and a Sega Master System's circuits bent to create real-time guitar effects, got jealous over a fantastic scheme to bring freelance illustrator work into LittleBigPlanet, and got ready to take a ride on the Raptor Copter, a brilliant looking and literally-named new iPhone game....br style="clear: both;"/ a href="http://www.pheedo.com/feeds/ht.php?t=camp;i=5bb76229001f08c99c3694cae507521famp;p=1"img style="border:0;" src="http://www.pheedo.com/feeds/ht.php?t=vamp;i=5bb76229001f08c99c3694cae507521famp;p=1" border="0" //a

Saw this on kotaku, thought i'd try it out and it is amazing. It's a music based puzzle game but not in the way of Rock band or any other music games. It's only a demo but it has twenty five levels (i think). Check it out.

A few years ago I held an event each year to raise money for the Child's Play Charity that puts videogames into the hands of kids staying at children's hospitals. We called it, in proper rock style, Fuuml;nde Razor. We're now in our fourth year, and thanks to help from friends in the industry mdash; Kotaku, Game|Life, Rock Gamer, Gizmodo, not to mention tons of game and gadget manufacturers mdash; we've raised thousands of dollars that we give over in its entirety to Child's Play. We've even moved beyond our original New York event to add a Denver and San Francisco event, all next Wednesday evening. (Location and times over on FundeRazor.com. [There's a similar event on Tuesday in Chicago.]) Prizes will vary a little bit from event to event (a lot of what we bring in are review items and such that all we bloggers have in our closets) but here's a partial list of what you can expect to win in the raffle or as door prizes at all three cities' events. It really is a blast. If you make it to the NYC event, come tell me hi! And if you can't make it out to any of the nights (or even if you can), please consider donating to Child's Play anyway. They're amazing. All the prizes that you could maybe possible win but if not you can still drink beer and play Rock Band [Offworld!]...br style="clear: both;"/gt; a href="http://www.pheedo.com/feeds/ht.php?t=camp;i=39efd85015e9875a2f63905a79755a4bamp;p=1"gt;img style="border:0;" src="http://www.pheedo.com/feeds/ht.php?t=vamp;i=39efd85015e9875a2f63905a79755a4bamp;p=1" border="0" /gt;/agt;
