Skateboarding...I think everyone tried it at least once. They either failed miserably at it, or followed through and were able to pull off at least an Ollie or something. When Tony Hawk hit the scene with the X Games in the late 90's, he revolutionized skateboarding and we followed him too. Then the video game came out, and then even your 5 year old brother could be a skateboarding mad man....and we loved it.
May 5th, a show named 'Carolina Rebellion' rocked the faces of many. The day long festival showcased Shinedown, Evanescence, Five Finger Death Punch, P.O.D, and KORN! Brian Welch left Korn to become a born again Christian and follow his faith. Inspired by Axel Roses grudge against the original members of Guns n' Roses, Welch rejoined Korn on-stage to play some Korn Klassics!

Mad Max is a pretty sweet movie. It was the first movie the featured a new actor straight from Australia...that actor today is Mel Gibson. The movie was about a dude who was taking revenge on a gang that killed his family, also searching for gas to fuel his car.
Then came a game that 'supposedly' had nothing to do with Mad Max, but all the similarities were there. The game though...was actually pretty kick ass!
The game that pretty much started it all! First person shooters today are the big gaming genre. Everyone is playing first person shooters! Online play, noob killers, blah blah blah....but don't forget your roots! It all has to start somewhere. Before you were killing other people in other countries, you were killing demons from HELL! In DOOM!
If you are a lucky person who took the risk of buying the latest Nintendo handheld, you luck may have payed off. Lot's of great games are on the 3DS, but nothing could compare to the familiar feel we have with Super Mario Bros. Nintendo is happy to announce the latest endeavor in the Mario World with New Super Mario Bros. 2! EXCLUSIVELY for Nintendo 3DS.
On of weekend of concert insanity, tons of concertgoers were either at the Avalanche Tour at the Orbit Room, or the massive metal show of Mastodon and Opeth at the Intersection. I, Ned The Metal Head, seized the opportunity to snag an interview with Mastodon drummer Brann Dailor. Am I wearing a mask? Well yea...if Mastodon wants you to wear a mask...you better damn well wear a mask.
The good thing about metal...it never stops and never dies. the 2012 concert series just keeps getting better and better. Freshly announced...the TRESPASS AMERICA TOUR will feature metal juggernauts Killswitch Engage, Five Finger Death Punch, Trivium, and more! Guess what...It's hitting BATTLE CREEK, MI!
