Green Day Comes Exclusively To Rock Band

by Nina Pena on June 11th, 2009

Today MTV Games’ Harmonix Music Systems announced a partnership with Warner Bros. Records and Green Day to bring the music of Green Day, exclusively to Rock Band ®. See Press Release Here!

The first songs that you can download are a three-pack of songs of their Album; 21st Century Breakdown on July 7th including: 21 Guns, Know Your Enemy, East Jesus Nowhere. Additional Green Day songs and projects will be announced at a later date.

If it is not obvious I am the Rockbander of the cutegeek.com and I am excited about this new release of Green Day coming to Rockband. I wanted to be a rocker or punk rocker since I was a child of the 80s. Unfortunately I lack the talent to play the real drums (sad face) therefore…do-to-do-dooooo Rockband drums! Everyone saw how I killed it at E3 on the drums right? (not so much on the singing, I use to be able to no idea what happened…opps!)

So MTV and Harmonix are just going crazy on these new releases of Rockband games and everyday I hope when I open my inbox there is a new release of something fun and I get…well…gitty like I was 7 years old again…what will I get? Another Rockband alert…oh boy…oh boy!

This actually comes at the perfect time so thank you MTV/ Harmonix/ Warner Brothers and Green Day! I have a very important birthday coming up that I may repeat for several years to come and nothing makes my heart a flutter more then new Rockband songs! BTW I celebrate my b-day for a month so…July 7th isn’t too far off. THOUGH shout out to my pals at MTV/ Harmonix that if they want me to preview it, I would be the happiest birthday girl! :-) hehe

Thinner for a Scale Name? What tha?

by Nina Pena on June 8th, 2009

While the lovely Radiris and I were at E3 we shared a hotel room…boys please focus there were no pillow fights involved. So as we are getting ready together I look down at the scale; now I am legally blind but did my eyes just see the scale’s name is Thinner? What kind of subliminal message is this scale telling us women especially teenage girls?

So I looked over at Radiris and said; “Really?! Do I need a scale telling me to be thinner?! I mean if I am weighing myself its probably cause my pants do not fit or I am bloated.” Granted I was a bit cranky as I am not all that happy about traveling or with my broken foot which seemed to drag me down (not to mention almost falling 10 times) but damn…Thinner…I wonder who thought of that brand marketing? Is it me or should it be named something more PC?! I suggest Healthy and Lovely!

E3 and Me! Day 1 in LA!

by Nina Pena on June 8th, 2009

The Cute Geeks! (2) by CuteGeekCom. This year was my first experience actually attending E3. I had planned it for others before but never attended until now! As I walked into the LA convention center I was blown away immediately with a HUGE Pepsi Rockband stage with fellow rockbander rocking away, check out the video here! I then walked into the south hall with my cutegeek partner in crime Radiris and I was AMAZED as you can see in my video here you can listen to my excitement plus see my girl!

My first observation, this was not like CES at all. There were so many women gamers and women executives at E3; I loved it! I believe women gamers truly showed themselves at E3 especially with Rockband, Guitar Hero, Wii Fit, Dance Revolution and Disney. Of course we had some booth babes in gamer costumes; but I frankly thought they looked GREAT!

Disney at E3

by Radiris Diaz on June 6th, 2009

Disney was our first meeting and boy it’s timing could not have been any better. It was perfect because I had the most fun and started E3 with a bang. Like I’ve mentioned before, I’m not an avid gamer. I currently don’t own any systems and although I enjoy playing them, haven’t in a while.

The one thing I do know is that I love Disney. I played games that made me feel like I was at home, in the living room, and could be surrounded by a bunch of kids. Call it my mother instinct trying to throw hints at me, although I’m not even close to my clock to start clicking…but yea…Disney has a bunch of cool games coming out that can easily turn any day into a family day. Adults and children could enjoy them.

My 1st E3 Experience

by Radiris Diaz on June 6th, 2009

I learned the value of being in good company this week. From the moment I arrived in LA, I thought, wow – it’s been a year since I’ve been here, and things felt so different. I blame it on the humidity, but I had a great feeling about E3 from the moment I got off the plane.

A third of our group was already at the hotel, aka Mike, and Nina was joining us in the AM, so it was fun going over our schedule and wondering how it would all play out. Nina and I had never been to an E3 before so I don’t even know if our foreshadowing into the event was on the same page, but I was impressed from it all.

The New Super Mario Bros for Wii

by Radiris Diaz on June 6th, 2009

Mario and I established a relationship many, many years ago. It has had its ups and downs, but this week, the spark was there. I forgot about all the times I couldn’t beat a level, or the times my brother seemed to know everything. All the memories were gone. At E3, it was all about me and the new game.
