Give yourselves a big hand and take a victory lap. Our determined grassroots campaign – that, or Paramount seeing some no-brainer DLC to hype Transformers 2 – succeeded in getting “The Touch” on Guitar Hero.
Never mind this dickclown who had the regions of his brain responsible for smiling and irony lobotomized. The point is we’ve managed to take something that made you rock out at age 10 and then cringe from age 13 to age 34, and make it rock again. And give an aging guitar jock a swell payday. Sure it’s free DLC, but I can’t imagine Stan Bush walks away with nothing.
After that, could we possibly have any more highlights in our week of original reporting? Oh, indubitabubitabubitably. Here they are:
