I'm not a fan of Howard Stern, but...

This is both funny and scary. Our future may be decided by the ignorant masses:

Illidan down!

We killed Illidan! The last boss of Black Temple used to be the toughest boss in World of Warcraft (a new instance was added a few months ago that is more difficult than Black Temple), so we "beat the game" so to speak.

This is what we were pushing for. We wanted to hit this milestone before the next expansion hits in November. So I'm pleased.

I am putty in gadget manufacturers hands

This is awesome. Logitech has made an extremely authentic guitar-game-controller for Rock Band (I hyphenated those to keep that from being misinterpreted). It has rosewood fingerboard, metal frets, a wood neck, and metal tuning pegs. It even comes with a "gig bag" for the guitar, which I think is mandatory since this thing costs $250. The images make it look amazing. This is guaranteed to impress your friends when you head to their house to play.

But you are going to pay for that impression as you ride the bus to your friends house. When people see the guitar bag, they ask about it. You lose all the coolness of being a guitarist when you explain that it's a game controller for a PS3. HAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA! NERD!

Anyways, they are even adding a new method of playing, the neck slider. As these things get more and more complex, will they reach the point that it would be easier to just learn to play a REAL guitar?
