The last day of school is in…. 3 DAYS!!!! In math class we are doing lame worksheets. In language arts we are doing a lame time capsule about things like “List your 5 favorite bands” and stuff like that. It said list at least 3 of your favorite books… so I listed 14. I would have done 20, but I found that too long of a list… (10 of those books are written by Scott Westerfeld, one is written by JK Rowling, and 3 are written by Stephanie Meyer.) We also need favorite movies and TV shows… She sho
Midiator Kit Converts a PS2 Controller Into a MIDI Controller
Gizmodo Australia: Yesterday we came across a DIY hack that helps you turn your Guitar Hero instrument into a MIDI controller and today we have a kit that will help you covert your old PS2 controllers (standard, knockoff, or wireless) for a similar purpose. When hooked up, it will allow you to do things like control pitch bend with the analogue joysticks or trigger notes / toggle controller signals with the buttons. It can even work with Guitar Hero, albeit only partially at this point (improv
Return The Hero signs to Forsaken Recordings Posted by Blake Faucette on May 20th, 2008 We want to welcome North Carolina’s RETURN THE HERO to the Forsaken Recordings family. Return The Hero are an excellent blend of post-hardcore, metal-core, and pop indie, with rocking sing-a-longs to intense breakdowns that would start riots. Their debut release “Where The Willow Grows” will impact stores September 2008. The band will enter Sleepless Studios with producer Bill Snow (Snapcase) and engineer

H.E.R.O. is a computer and video game published by Activision in 1984. It was developed for the Atari 2600 and later ported to the Apple II, Atari 5200, Atari 8-bit family, ColecoVision, Commodore 64, MSX, SEGA SG-1000 and ZX Spectrum.
H.E.R.O., supposedly meaning "Helicopter Equipped Rescue Operation" (or "Human Extraction and Rescue Operation"), is a platform-style action game, set in a system of underground mines.
The player's character (known as Roderick Hero according to the game inlay) in H.E.R.O. is a rescue worker with a small helicopter-type backpack, enabling him to fly around the underground mine shafts and caverns. For defense, the character is equipped with a laser beam and a finite supply of sticks of dynamite.
The object of each level is to rescue a trapped mine worker at the extreme end of the mine shaft within a time limit. Dangers along the way include various cave-dwelling animals (such as bats, snakes, spiders and even butterflies) and on later levels, some kind of red ore (magma, on the 8-bit systems) which is lethal to the touch, and water at the bottom of the shaft.
The game graphics and mechanics are substantially the same in all versions, with graphic improvements in the subsequent ports made after the 2600 version. The Atari 5200 version offers a different gameplay, given the lack of self-centering on the system joystick. The SG-1000 version is different from all others, because the game was reprogrammed by SEGA. Although the level mapping is the same, Roderick uses a Jetpack instead of the helicopter-type backpack. The game graphics were also all redrawn.
