Grab your codpiece, fluff your perm and break out the skin-tight jeans, Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock is to get a release on the PC and Mac. Console axe-masters will now be joined by a new wave of bedroom-based Rock God wannabes, according to the latest information from Aspyr Media in partnership with ActiVision. The company says that:
"[The new versions will have] explosive new content and features including a multiplayer action-inspired battle mode, grueling boss battles, a host of exclusive unlockable content and visually stunning rock venues. With more than 70 songs in the set list, and more original master tracks than ever before, players will be able to shred from many of the freshest and hottest artists today, along with many of the most popular rock songs ever recorded.
Expanded online multiplayer game modes will also allow PC and Mac enthusiasts to rip head-to-head against players around the world and across either platform, raising the level of competition for true legendary rock status.”
The new versions are due a few weeks after the console versions launch, sometime this Autumn. Let battle commence.-Martin Lynch

Etch-A-Sketch Art Fetches Big Money September 15, 2007

Who remembers Etch-A-Sketch? You know, the highly addictive and incredibly annoying drawing device, where just one bash from your baby brother could erase your hours of dedicated knob-twiddling trying to create a rough approximation of a car?
Well, someone's actually quite good at it and is now making big money from his sketchy knock-offs. Jeff Gagliardi has been reproducing classic paintings on Etch-A-sketch for some years now and can earn up to £2,500 per drawing. He played with his nephew’s one for the first time when he was an art student in New York. He recalls:
"I did a drawing of the Taj Mahal complete with reflecting pools. Quite frankly, I didn't think it was a big deal, but my family wouldn't let me erase it. From that point on it became apparent that I had some sort of gift for drawing on this silly little toy. People would walk past the serious work I was doing as a painter and want to see the Etch-A-Sketches."
