Guitar Hero World Tour (formerly known as Guitar Hero IV) is a forthcoming entry in the music video game Guitar Hero series, and will be developed by Neversoft and published by RedOctane and Activision, set to be released on October 27, 2008. The game is expected to be available for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, and Wii consoles.Guitar Hero World Tour will be the first game of the Guitar Hero series to feature the drum and microphone controllers, Furthermore, according to Game Informer, the game will allow users to create new songs, including drums, rhythm guitar, lead guitar and bass guitar, although the studio mode will be without vocals, because of copyrights and storage limitations. It is confirmed that players will be able to upload and share their songs. The traditional single player Career Mode has been reworked. Instead of playing through a setlist, players will encounter gigs during career mode, which offer a choice of songs to play; however, you dont have to complete every song in the list to proceed. The difficulty levels include a new difficulty called "Beginner" as well as the regular difficulty modes (Easy, Medium, Hard, and Expert), this Career Mode will allow players to drop to a lower difficulty without restarting their careers if they have difficulty with one song. The player will also be able to switch to a different instrument during the same Career without having to restart. There are five total instrument career modes within the game: lead guitar, bass guitar, drums, vocals, and online/offline full band.[6]Users will be able to use a "Create-a-Rocker" mode Players will be able to affect their character's poise, clothing, tattoos, makeup, and age. Selected characters from previous Guitar Hero games will also be available as starting templates for creating a rocker. As a result of the present lawsuit with Gibson Guitars, the player will also be able to customize their own guitar for the game to a high degree. Drum sets and microphones will also be customizable.All of the songs in the game will be master recordings, a first for the series. Neversoft claims that there will be more songs on disk than any other Guitar Hero game. IGN reports that the game will feature over 85 songs Three bands have been confirmed for the game from the Game Informer preview: Van Halen, The Eagles, and Linkin Park.

These Past wcouple of weeks there has been rumors about the Xbox 360 price cut. With this year’s E3 Media & Business Summit in Los Angeles there has has been speculation,an imminent Xbox 360 price cut would be announced. The retail reduction will come into effect on Sunday, July 13.

Today in my 3rd pd. computer class I was sitting in my seat, surfing the web and the kid next to me, the supposed "smart/working" dweeb kid in the class starts looking at porn/nude pics. He has been doing it for a long time, over 2months or so. Me and my friend have been trying to tell the teacher but she is an idiot. He goes on Google starts looking for nude pics. When he went to enlarge the picture my friend, put him in some sort of headlock. And I try to get the teachers attention, but what does she do? NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. And Acted like she didn't see/know anything! Whenever I'm on the computer and go on a website not school related she tells me to get out of the class, the worst part is, he looks at naked pictures next to girls! I don't understand how he can get away with this, but I get reprimanded For Visiting myspace!/Not Only Is it disrespectful to the girl next to him, but its also shows How teachers favor other students, in my opinion!
