The two were in Los Angeles to celebrate the upcoming Nickelodeon Kids' Choice awards. I wonder if they realize the game's a lot easier if you face the screen?

<![CDATA[ Emo Hunks Want To Play Halo 3 With You ]]> falloutboy_gwf.jpgYour dream of slinging racial barbs and calling into question the sexual preferences of emo pop-rock outfit Fall Out Boy via Xbox Live come true this Friday. The latest in the series of Microsoft's "Game With Fame" events sees Andy Hurley and Joe Trohman of Fall Out Boy sitting in on a Halo 3 gaming session from 4 PM to 6 PM Eastern time. They may be the eye make up wearing one and the chubby one in front, but I'm really not sure and I'm reserving that brain space for Foghat lyrics.

Crap, there it is. Pete Wentz is the one in front nearing a nip slip, so it's not him. Fall Out Boy fans will surely know who these kids are by name, but will get intimate first hand knowledge of their skill with a Spartan Laser this Friday. Just look for FallOutBoyAndy and FallOutBoyJoe, then make with the fragging.

<![CDATA[ Aqua Teen Hunger Force Invades Live ]]> ilmaquateen.jpg

I can't think of a single cartoon that I would care to play video games with, but I can think of a single cartoon force that would be loads of fun.

The voices from Aqua Teen Hunger Force's Master Shake, Meatwad, Err, Carl and Ignignokt will be mixing things up in Uno on Xbox Live on April 24. WTF? What happened to Frylock. What a tool, leaving to him to not show up.

The toons will be playing some Uno from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Eastern time next week. Send a friend request to ATHFGWF for a chance to pwn them. If you make the list take notes and let us know how they did.

<![CDATA[ Take on The King on Live ]]>

Burger King's namesake, The King, is taking to Xbox Live tomorrow for a little Pocketbike Racer Invitational as part of the Game with Fame series.

The King will be joined by New York Jets linebacker Jonathan Vilma. How exactly are we going to be sure that we're playing with The King and not just anybody who happened to be walking by the office when the Game with Fame session starts? I mean, the guy doesn't talk and there's no video.

Maybe next month they can land the San Diego Chicken.
