Lost Sigur Ros member found, video game to be continued.

Much to the relief of the band Sigur Ros, the countrymen of Iceland, and a sparse group of followers consisting of NYU film students and transients from Portland, Oregon, the lost member has been discovered and found to have been ruling over a large colony of rabbits in the forest in which the group was previously taking promotional photos.

After two weeks of somewhat frantic searching with a fruitless outcome, the remaining members of Sigur Ros were prepared to release a public statement in regards to the missing group member and to announce the termination of the video game project. During this preparation, the missing member, who has since asked the press to not identify him for protection of his now inflated status amongst the animal kingdom, emerged from his dwellings and made his presence known to the rest of his band mates, reassuring them that he was not dead.

Front man Jónsi Birgisson stated “We are glad to have him back. He seems a bit off, but nothing too unusual. He has created his own language in the time he has been gone. Somehow, we all understand it, and now communicate this way exclusively.”

While the reasons why this particular member decided to disappear are unclear, it is speculated that he became increasingly delusional in the midst of helping to create the game. Other people noted that he would not change out of his costume upon receiving it, and made mention of wanting to dominate the world more than twice.

Since the long awaited reunion has taken place, the members are now discussing ways to include his experience into the game. Radiohead’s singer Thom Yorke has been contacted and is thought to be the perfect model for a character much like the deranged Kurtz of Heart of Darkness. Yorke would play the part of another evil presence and would need to be destroyed to advance the next level in the game. Although he is not Icelandic, Yorke is often mistaken to be as such due to his unusual facial features, small waifish frame, questionable origins, brooding nature, and hushed indecipherable wailings.

When asked if the previously missing member would be returning to his rabbit colony, he quickly became misty eyed and demanded to be left alone.

It has been noted that the developers of the game were noticeably disappointed to discover the project would continue, as they were looking to free up time and resources for other more significant and interesting projects.

Recheck your credit card balance -- if you're close to the limit, now is the time to settle up. There are lots of ways to manage debt like shaking trees and selling the apples that fall out. If you didn't understand this piece of advice, it's because you don't play Animal Crossing, and therefore, are not a complete idiot. Congratulations.

Opinion

Tony Hawk video games are the new Madden NFL

This issue has been bothering me for a few months now and I wanted to get it off my chest.

I still remember how amazing it was playing the original Tony Hawk Pro Skater for Dreamcast (yes, Dreamcast, get off my back, it was amazing.) and it absolutely blowing my mind. Finally a game that made you feel like you were in control of a real skater from the get go, but also with the potential for mind blowing stunts not possible in real life.

Guitar Hero: World Tour Song By Song Review

Well, the 4th edition of the Guitar Hero series is upon us and it's rife with already done hackneyed game functions stolen from Rockband, but hey, it's got cymbals!
I'm not going to bore you with my opinion of how much the sensitivity levels of the drums suck, or how awesome it is that you can trick your girlfriend into playing a video game with you. You can read that shit on some other website that actually cares if you're informed. Micah and KT are here to enterain and, of course, educate!

Top 7 Iron Mans

No, we didn’t make a mistake. The title is, in fact, “Top 7 Iron Mans,” not “Iron Men.” We’re counting down the 7 people that have best honored the iron name with great accomplishments and general bad-assery. Some of these may shock you, but rest assured, they are rated by the highest authorities on the subject matter (or any subject matter, as far as we’re concerned): hardcore gamers.
