One of my favourite guilty pleasures from 5 years ago (it's been *that* long already?!) is coming back, awesome. I remember watching the dunk contest at the end of the second season and witnessing the ridiculousness that unfolded.

Here's a video package for those who've never seen the sport before.

OMG, HE'S WEARING A COSTUME WHILE DUNKING! AUTOMATIC 50! Yeah, I don't get it. Does wearing a cape add *that* much more, besides (negligible) drag and resistance to his movement? In my still-newbie-fan perspective, I consider putting the ball between your legs, or blowing out a cupcake on the rim while not knocking ( Read more... )

Band sues Activision because the sound-alike track in Guitar Hero 80s sounds too much like them.

They should be thankful a song of theirs was chosen for the game, and the increased interest in the band that will bring. There are many songs I can name ("Surrender", for one) which I never heard on the radio until they were featured in a GH title. Plus ( Read more... )
