Guitar Hero has become somewhat of a phenomenon recently. It has captivated gamers and non-gamers alike and made quite a cultural impact. I mean, South Park did an episode devoted to it. But everytime a new Guitar Hero comes out, there are great songs included yet people complain about the absence of others. Thus forming a wishlist. So, I have taken it upon myself to create my own based upon not only my musical preference but songs that would be a perfect fit for any Guitar Hero (or Rock Band) game. So here it is, my top 10 most wanted songs for the next Guitar Hero. No Stairway taken into account.

#10- Icky Thump by The White Stripes (Probably one of the best rock songs to come out in a while)
#9- Can't Stop by The Red Hot Chili Peppers (Eh...it's got a good beat.)
#8- Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana (Love 'em or hate 'em, this has to be in one of these games)
#7- Party Hard by Andrew W.K. (GH needs a song to just rock out and have fun with) or What Would Brian Boitano Do? by DVDA (If Rock Band can have Timmy, Guitar Hero should have Brian.)
#6- Joker and the Thief by Wolfmother (Although you can rock this one on Rock Band, it's a better fit on Guitar Hero)
#5- Up Around the Bend by Creedence Clearwater Revival (For that really good oldie song...)
#4- Where the River Flows by Collective Soul ( A personal favorite of mine)
#3- Enter Sandman by Metallica (Metal!)
#2- Smooth Criminal by Alien Ant Farm (Another personal favorite of mine but even though it's a cover of a MJ song, this is a great cover that rocks and has a neat solo)

And #1 we have a 3-way tie Thunderstruck by AC/DC, You Shook Me All Night Long by AC/DC, and Eruption by Van Halen

There you go. My list. I'm open to any edits, comments, criticisms, as I realize that choosing 10 songs really limits the range of good songs. But let me know.

P.S. I planned on posting this earlier but I used a "forbidden" word when describing "Up Around the Bend so I changed it to "oldie". I'll give you a hint. It rhymes with "pass sick".

Today is my two year anniversary at TV.com. Yeah, I'm shocked too. But right over there ------>
says that it's true. Man, has time flown by.

After last night's amazing episode "Canada on Strike", I decided to make a few subs for the episode. Well, I logged in today to notice that those subs have bumped me up to the next level, level 17. Yes, I'm a crazy neighbor now maybe not with quite the eccentricity of Kramer. However, it's good to be movin' on up. Hooray me.

But in even greater news, I did a few more subs today for South Park contributing to the newest episode. Just the usual quotes and stuff that strike me funny. Yet, I noticed while scrolling down something amazing. I saw my name in the top contributor box for South Park! This made me quite happy as it was one of my goals on this site (as evidenced by my last blog). Double Hooray for me!

Finally, if I ever decide to make another conceited, self-congratulatory blog like this again, I'll give you some "theoretical dollars" and maybe a coupon to Bennigan's. Once again, I'd like to apologize for anyone who fell for my April Fool's joke. I have not left and am glad to be here.

Have a good one.

I've really thoug ht this over and it's been bugging me for awhile. Leaving the site for good is just a decision I needed to make. I know I sound like a humongous liar and hypocrite because I promised more time on here but I just don't have the inspiration nor the time. So, I'm sorry to say but I will no longer be on this site. It's been really great all the time that I've spent on here. It's been wonderful discussing oh so many topics with all of you. I've come to admire many people on this site and have made really great friends, Drewshack, HillJaFuFu, ZugZug, henrynhenry, tweekfan, hsimpson44, and many more people who if I've forgotten to mention means you're no lesser a friend. But the time has come and I feel like I've accomplished enough to satisfy me, although I never became a Top Contributor for South Park nor a Show Editor.

Thanks for the memories. Exit stage left.

[EDIT]
***SPOILER***

Correction: I've had Brawl for almost a week now. I just haven't blogged about it yet because I was hoping to wait for a level change to make a new blog. However, I just feel the need to explain that it is awesome. All Wii owners should buy it. It's definitely a contender for Game of the Year. Did I mention it was awesome?

Online's really fun too. I think more options should be made for "With Anyone" matches as always having a 2 minute KO fest is boring and there's no customization whatsoever. Luckily "With Friends" makes up in that department by doing all of the above and adding text message taunts (which could be a sign to possible voice chat maybe???).

Other than that, South Park's been good. You can find me on the forums there. I'm hoping to break into the Top Contributor's list but so far I've just been submitting quotes, trivia, and other stuff. I haven't made an episode summary or episode forum discussion since "More Crap." You guys need me to get on the ball. Haha. For those wondering what I think about the season so far, I think it's been actually quite good despite what people have said about Tonsil Trouble and Britney's New Look. To be honest, I enjoyed those both more than "Major Boobage" although I do like "Major Boobage" as well. A full opinion can be found in the episode discussion for the "Major Boobage" episode on page 6 I believe.
