Even if you had, it would have been quite the ocular feat for you to have seen me, jilted and decomposing in last place.

I no longer harbor the disdain that rose up within my gut the day you entered the world and promptly stole the spotlight, your slender frame casting a shadow upon my bulky build.

It’s a commonly accepted phenomenon that span style=font-style: italic;Guitar Hero/span and games like it have a habit of inspiring gamers to take up the real thing.brbrI’ve been known to pluck unconvincingly on my brother’s guitar after successfully conquering Cliffs of Dover on Expert so I know this trend firsthand. I’m sure you people who’ve tried the game have similar experiences.brbrIt seems the music instrument distribution industry has finally caught wind to this and is using it to its advantage. Active Music Distribution and a href=http://xbox360.qj.net/tags/activision-blizzard/14851 id=tag title=result of merge between Activision and Vivendi GamesActivision Blizzard/a entered an agreement that will see span style=font-style: italic;Guitar Her/span sold in musical instrument stores across the a href=http://xbox360.qj.net/tags/uk/4320 id=tag title=United KingdomUK/a. Took them long enough. I’ve had teenagers suggest this idea to me.brbrThe obvious benefit for the music stores is that they can net those who are either too intimidated or apathetic to bother learning a conventional instrument and weening them on the videogame version first. In theory, this will get them interested to try the real thing… that’s when the sell you their regular stock.brbrActivision Blizzard’s Lee Worsely mentions in his statement concerning the partnership agreement:brbrp style=padding-left: 40px; padding-right: 40px;By offering incentives with purchases of span style=font-style: italic;Guitar Hero/span, such as a free lesson or a discount on their first instrument purchase, stores can keep these customers.

brSammy’s back and we got pics!brbrLast February, a href=http://xbox360.qj.net/tags/namco-bandai/2431 id=tag title=Japanese holding company for Namco and BandaiNamco Bandai/a Games (responsible for such titles as span style=font-style: italic;Soul Caluber IV/span and span style=font-style: italic;Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tankaichi 2/span) announced their intent to produce a video game adaptation of the anime series Afro Samurai.brbrIf you haven’t heard of Afro yet, shame on you. That’s the anime Samuel L. Jackson lent his voice to as the title character. Go watch it if you haven’t already. I promise blood and lots of it. brbrAs for the game, it’s a cel-shaded hack-and-slasher. The gameplay will be combo-based with a time-slowing ability thrown into the mix. Sammy will again be lending his voice to the characters Afro and Ninja Ninja. I also promise blood and lots of it.brbrspan style=font-style: italic;Afro Samurai/span span id=iTxt(span id=iTxta title=Afro Samurai for the PlayStation 3 href=http://ps3.qj.net/Afro-Samurai/cid/4964PlayStation 3/a, a title=Afro Samurai for the Xbox 360 href=http://xbox360.qj.net/category/Afro-Samurai/cid/4965Xbox 360/a/span)/span won’t be out ’til January 27 next year so here are some screenshots to tide you over until then:brbrp style=text-align: center;a href=http://img.qj.net/uploads/articles_module/125854/afro-samurai-20081104042618343_qjgenth.jpg?000135 rel=lightbox[article125854] title=Afro 20Samurai 20Screenshots 20- 20Image 201 20 26nbsp 3B 20 20 26nbsp 3B 20 3Ca 20href 3D 22http 3A//img.qj.net/uploads/articles_module/125854/afro-samurai-20081104042618343.jpg 3F000135 22 20target 3D 22_blank 22 3E 3Cimg 20src 3D 22/img/newwindow.png 22 20title 3D 22Open 20in 20new 20window 22 20border 3D 220 22 3E 3C/a 3Eimg style=margin: 3px;
