Big A** Mutant Blog

With the introduction of Carl Tyler's Sametime Wallpaper Plugin, I decided to make a few of my own backgrounds for the Lotus Community.

They are pretty simple, standard Lotus logos and as always, the BleedYellow Claws.

I also made one with the Lotus 911 logo, but sorry, that is for employees only.

So if you are so inclined, head on over to my Flickr page and download them. Also if ther are any requests, drop me a line and I will see what I can do for you.

Have fun!

I am Joe Perry. . . . NOT!

It's Here! It's Here!

Activision™ has finally released Guitar Hero - Aerosmith© and it is awesome! My copy of the complete bundle (game, special guitar, etc) arrived on Thursday and I started playing it the next day. This is my first foray into the Guitar Hero© universe so I started off with the practice mode and found out.... I need a lot of it!

My wife is not that much into video games, Tetris and Centipede were the only ones to grab her attention, but she is now hooked on this, but that could be because she is also a huge Aerosmith fan as well. She picked up the controller and started playing and after a little a lot of practice, she's really getting into it. She is stating that it is giving her carpel tunnel syndrome, but she won't relinquish control of the game.

This version combines the band characters from the original games and Aerosmith, incorporated by using capture-motion animation from the guys themselves. The game also consists of interviews with the band themselves between the gigs in the form of cut scenes.

You start off as an opening act for Aerosmith and for each level you must complete a couple songs before Aerosmith comes out. Your band plays the music of Cheap Trick, Joan Jett and The Blackhearts, Run DMC and more.

With Florian Vogler putting out the new MarvelClient Skinning Edition for IBM Lotus Notes I started to work on a BleedYellow version. But then I looked at the blogs and saw that Devin Olson beat me to the punch and I liked his version better so I scrapped mine and decided to push his instead

So cruise on over to his blog and take a look. They are really sharp.

Good job Devin!

OK, I know Guitar Hero has been out for a while and it has been through 3 incarnations, not including advancing to Rock Band, and even though I have been interested in them I have held off on buying any of them... UNTIL NOW!

Activision has just announced that on June 30th (4 days past my birthday ) they are releasing Guitar Hero Aerosmith!  I love Aerosmith and I am stoked that they are releasing an entire version of GH based on them. I have already pre-ordered it and can hardly wait.

You can "walk this way" (sorry, couldn't resist) to read the interview with Joe Perry and Steven Tyler about working on the game here and see the Activision site for it here.

ROCK ON!



*NOTE TO JIMMY* - Next game night after this is released, OK?
