…along with the rest of Velvet Revolver

Last night was the big induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame for the boys of Van Halen. Eddie was hanging out in rehab and [Alex] his brother decided to make a stand and skip the event as well. Velvet Revolver was given the honor of ushering them in with a performance of the classic “Ain’t Talkin’ Bout Love”; however, it seems they weren’t up to the task.

Slash was focused on making sure his leather pants were tight, his top hat was tipped, and his smoke was lit– when really he should’ve been making sure he knew the opening lick to the song. It was quite embarrassing for all (especially for me as I’ve always found Slash’s ability to play most impressive). Scott Weiland’s vocals were all over the place as were his pathetic dance moves.

The success of social networking sites such as MySpace and Facebook has spurred a landslide of niche social network development throughout the online world. Many categories of interests, such as dogs and shoes and music, have seen their own online networking platform come to life through the power of Web 2.0 technologies. Now it’s time for video games .

Today, GarageGames has released, to the world, the new video game social networking site, Great Games Experiment (http://www.greatgamesexperiment.com). This site boasts a current user base approaching tens of thousands and tons of games.
The idea of a social networking site for video games is by no means revolutionary; however, the adjoining of all video games (both indie and mainstream) in one central location, with a democracy of users has never before been implemented. This is more than database of video games. On GreatGamesExperiment.com, a user can rate, review, play, download, search for, browse for, [keep inserting verbs here] any type of video game imaginable. Users can also interact with each other on a multitude of levels. Create your own internal network within the walls of GreatGamesExperiment.com by making friends with, tagging, kudo-ing, commenting on other users throughout the site. Users can also band together to form groups.

The main objectives of the site are as follows:

• Provide to game fans and developers an opportunity to share and promote their own games!
• Help gamers and developers network with each other!
• Help people discover new games! Many of which they may have never heard!
• Make it easy to download and play games in one place.

Also, check out the cool badges you can get on the site and post around the web:

If you enjoy video games, this is the site for you.

This article on mashable.com speculates that the NHL may no longer be allowing YouTube visitors to embed hockey videos on external sites. Is this because it’s going to take away from revenue sharing that YouTube is promising to the Hockey Association to use their footage? That’s my assumption. Anyways, if the video in this post disappears, I’ll be a sad panda.

“And in another YouTube shakeup today, it seems that the NHL has banned external embedding of its YouTube clips.”

“The NHL has a substantial presence on YouTube. However, they told one person who was legally embedding these videos on his site to skate to the penalty box.”

According to ESPN.com, Tiger’s pitcher Joel Zumaya was suffering injuries in his right wrist, not related to pitching but rather his Guitar Hero addiction

The most ridiculous hockey play I’ve ever seen… evar.

I’ve been quite a fan of the Derek Trucks for a while. For those of you who don’t know who Derek Trucks is, he was the second generation lead guitar player for the Allman Brothers Band. Today I’ve been rockin’ out to some live recordings of the Derek Trucks Band that I have on tap.

Here is a great YouTube clip of him jammin’ with the Allman Bros. This, my friends, is what a Gibson SG was made to sound like…

She said yes! =)

On Christmas-eve-eve, somebody decided to attempt to steal my car (or maybe my insanely fashionable sunglasses from Kohl’s out of my car). So anyways, I got to wake up to my driver-side window being smashed. Keep in mind this car is only six months old so I was pretty unhappy with having to drop a bunch of cash to have a new window put in it. Luckily the Saturn dealership was open that day and did a great job of detailing my interior to rid my car of all evidence of the disaster. However, I had to go an entire week without a car. Things are back to normal now but here are some photos commemorating the incident.
