The Dumb Are Mostly Intrigued By The Drum

Director extraordinaire Bret Ratner was recently interviewed by MTV and talked about the possibility of bringing the phenomenon of Guitar Hero to the big screen. Ratner, you fucken hack! I really hope that Mr. Ratner can get this project off the ground and see what kind of artistic angle he can come up with as far as translating the video game experience over to the big screen and not turn it into a 2-hour long commercial for the product. Check out the story over here at Aintitcool for the details. Would you go see a Guitar Hero movie?

Yup, number 7 so pay no attention to the fact that I refer to this as our 8th podcast in the actually podcast. Yeah, I can't add. So this week, Adrian Rodriguez from Late Update returns as he brought with him a new special, special guest: John Rios! Rios is the creator/artist/writer of Dead Days, the awesome web comic. Joins us as we talk all types of NERD. Be warned! This episode contains more nerdiness than usual. Please be advised! So much in fact that Adrian's presence was almost not felt (it didn't help that the poor guy had the stomach pain of a million warheads). So what did we talk about?

• The Dark Knight, of course. Swear, this will be the last time we beat this dead horse...this week. • The Watchmen and it's newly released trailer. • San Diego Comic Con 2008 overview. • A Rodriguez/Rios soundboard prank call. • We talk about our entry for the upcoming Fresno Swede Festival. • E3 2008 overview: The best of the Microsoft, Nintendo & Sony announcements. • Some graphic design flubbs. • Old school video game nostalgia.

And there's more! Download it, check it out and let us know what you think. As usual, NSFW as we tend to cuss a little bit. Feel free to email us comments or if you have any questions or want to be a guest on our humble podcast, drop us a line at thedumbdrum@gmail.com. Thanks to Late Update for hosting the podcast for us!

Then you'll get this video. If for some reason you watch the vid and still not get the reference....well, check this vid to help refresh your memory. And you call yourself hardcore.....for shame. The vid is from Mega 64.com. Check 'em out for a bunch of other video game related videos!

That was quick. Instead of just copying and pasting Robert's welcome post and changing the Robert's to Luis's I decided to do a new one. You see how lazy I am? Barrazie (as he is known to most) has joined our team and will be bringing us info on what's going on in the video game world. A master gamer who loves "hardcore" games like Halo 3, Call Of Duty 4 and whatever games today's frat boys are playing these days. Feel free to read his first post (right below this one) and drop some comments on his ass. No but really, he's a welcome addition to our team and look forward to introducing his spice to your video game reads. Welcome!
