Web Comics :: The Ones I Follow

October 29th, 2009
By: TeeTocks

As a kid the things I looked forward to the most on the weekends were Saturday morning cartoons and looking at the comics in the Sunday paper. As an adult I rarely get up early enough for cartoons anymore but do wake up just in time for College Football. I do not even bother getting a newspaper for any reason now. Thanks to Al Gore and the beautiful Interwebs, I pick and choose what I want to read on and be entertained by. With slow days at work I am forced to fill the gaps of boredom with internet surfing though most the oceans tend to be blocked. One area that has not been blocked is the web comic area. So I thought I would share some web comic sites that I have enjoyed and perhaps you can let me know which ones you think I should venture into to add to my surfing library. So let us begin:

Most other gaming sites will be starting at Sarcastic Gamer’s starting time of 8 AM EST Saturday. Once again, HUGE Thank You to all involved in supporting this event. You are a hero to people that you do not even know and do not know you. God Bless!

Trial

We have all heard the stories before: Woman sues McDonalds for burning herself with hot coffee, Robber wins lawsuit about cop shooting him, woman wins lawsuit for breaking her tailbone from slipping on her spilt drink in a restaurant, and the list goes on and on. Well now this has carried over into the Video Game Characters’ Community.

Extra Life 2009

Cancer. Just by reading the word I’m sure you can think of someone that has touched your life in some way that has battled with or currently is battling with this disease. It does not care who you are, your age, or where you are at in life. But you can be a part to help against this viscious killer. Last year we had the awesome opportunity to partner with Extra Life, a charity event started by Sarcastic Gamer in conjunction with the Texas Children’s Hospital to help provide funding for children with cancer. Last year we along with many other communities raised over $120,000! Now it’s that time again where we can be a part of a great cause to continue the fight on these kid’s and their families’ behalves.

On October 17th, the GHR Extra Life Team will join with Sarcastic Gamer and many more communities again by staying up for 24 hours straight playing Video Games.

So how can you help?

  • Join the GHR Extra Life Team and raise funds for your 24 hour marathon of gaming
  • Donate to one of the GHR Team Members or any other communities involved
  • Join us in gaming during our 24 hours to keep us awake
  • To join the team, visit our forum thread here to find out how and to get updated details till Extra Life 2009 kicks off.

    If you have any questions, contact Scott (TeeTocks) and I’ll provide you with any help with any of the process. Thanks!

    Pepsi Rock Band Promotion :: Chance to Win Free Songs and Stuff

    Want a chance to get Free Rock Band songs? Pepsi is currently running a promo in conjunction with the upcoming release of The Beatles Rock Band. On Pepsi bottles and 2 Liters, look for the yellow caps with the different RB logos for codes to enter on the site Here. Keep in mind that each code is a chance to win free DLC but the odds are good. I entered 11 codes in earlier today and won 6 songs. Codes are good toward 360, PS3, and Wii (less choices) versions. The Drink Up Rock Out promotion ends on Sept 13th. So give the site a look and see what other prizes you could try to get. Good Hunting.

    The Beatles Rock Band :: Song list update

    July 26th, 2009
    By: TeeTocks

    Last week Harmonix announced 15 more songs to the already 10 previously known songs for The Beatles Rockband. This makes 25 out of the 45 songs that have now been revealed. So after seeing the list I realized that there are many songs from the list that I really didn’t know. Out of curiosity I spent time Youtube’n some of them to find out what they were. This led me to start a project that eventually is this blog post you are reading. If you are interested in checking out the song list and listening to some of the songs….
