Wayne Allwine, February 7, 1947 - May 20, 2009, has died today of complications from diabetes. He did voice acting of Mickey Mouse for 32 years. In addition to his voice work, Allwine had also been a sound effects editor on Disney films and TV shows including Splash (1984) and Three Men and a Baby (1987); as well as Alien Nation (1988 ), Star Trek V: The Final Frontier and Innerspace for other studios. He had done the voice of Mickey Mouse longer than anyone else as of 2009. Walt Disney did it from 1928 to 1947 while Jimmy MacDonald did it on a regular basis from 1947 to 1953.He also starred in films such as The Prince and the Pauper (1990), and Mickey, Donald, and Goofy: The Three Musketeers (2004), and the TV series Mickey's Mouse Works (1999-2000), House of Mouse (2001-2002), and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse (2006-2009). He provided Mickey's voice too for nearly every entry in the popular Kingdom Hearts series of video games.

"Wayne dedicated his entire professional life to Disney," chief executive Robert Iger said in a statement Wednesday. Allwine was the third man behind Mickey's voice. The first was Disney himself, then Jimmy MacDonald, who became Allwine's mentor and passed him the reins after voicing the mouse for 30 years. "He did an incredible job of bringing emotion, humor and appeal to the character, and superbly carried on the tradition originated by my Uncle Walt, and later by sound-effects wizard Jimmy Macdonald."

Allwine was married to Russi Taylor, the current voice of Minnie Mouse. They wed in Hawaii in 1991. They were both named Disney Legends in 2008. R.I.P Wayne Allwine, one of my favorite voice actors. We will miss you greatly.

WARNING: This concerns a rant about Guitar Hero franchises. If you're a deep fan of Guitar Hero, leave.

Guitar Hero, were a big fan of it. We all love Guitar Hero, we love the bands, we love to play a simulated guitar, sure that's fun, but, we're tired as people hearing Guitar Hero. There's alot of publication in Guitar Hero, I know, I know. I'm sick and tired of hearing "Guitar Hero" on the media, or "I CAN PLAY DRAGONFORCE Through the Fire and Flames on Expertz modes!" Seriously, who cares? Why purchase a $200 plastic guitar whilst you can pick up a real guitar, for the same price. SAME price as a original crappy plastic controller, here I'll give you pictures as well.

Original Ibanez Gio stock that has no modification, what so-ever. Price? $200, good deal yeah? Why don't you buy it!

Original Fender Stratocaster, no modifications, $200 dollars worth of it. Now, now, I'm not saying go buy a guitar right away, but why don't you go buy a real guitar instead of a four fret colored buttons? And if you do love music why don't you just listen to it on I don't know Itunes, or something, just saying. If Red Octane is reading this, please, PLEASE. No more, We are losing tons, and tons of young inspired talented artist's that are out there who say, "I can't play guitar" YES you can play guitar its quite simple! Better than the four buttons, that you constantly play over-and-over again. If Red-Octane wants to produce more Guitar Hero games, keep the same Guitar Hero game, and make more add-ons, one day its just going to be pointless.

OMG YAY FTW E3 2009

IT'S baaaaaaaaack, bigger, better, and more bad ass than before the all new E3 2009, coming this June 2nd-4th. Welcoming the new greatest hits from the old franchises, to the new and awesome franchises. So far we know Peter Moore's new upcoming EA SPORTS 2010 games, updating the very least, and very best up-to-date roaster's we'll be looking forward too.

Yeah, this guy. You know him as Big M.

Peter Moore is best known for his former positions as Corporate Vice-President of Microsoft's Interactive Entertainment Business division, overseeing the Xbox and Xbox 360 game consoles, and president of SEGA of America. On July 17, 2007, Moore announced his resignation from Microsoft to take over the EA Sports division of Electronic Arts, which was a sad and tragic day for Microsofts Entertainment Business, but good for EA Sports. Also in 2003 at Microsoft debriefing "Bringing it Home", Moore gained notoriety for displaying tattoos of Halo 2 and Grand Theft Auto IV that he used when announcing the respective games.

Hopefully Moore, will introduce the new "Xbox Controller" that's being produced for the upcoming E3 2009 called "Xbox Fluid" or "The Freedom" controller with his new upcoming titles such as MADDEN 10, NHL 10, FIGHT NIGHT ROUND 4 (etc). New accessories will be held at the new E3 Microsoft Debriefing room, or show-case, (Booth #1523 for who case is still wondering).

Wait, this looks famalier

This lightweight shiny metallic remote, also it has motion sensors, called "Freedom" is very thin and pleasing for the Xbox new controller design, it is confirmed that they are making a new controller. But will this satisify the original Xbox users? Well, determining that it's very lightweight, and easy to play, sure looks fun! Is it ready for the new Xbox future though, that's the question were all wanting to find out, and please cross your fingers for E3 2009 debut.

The awesome makers

Don't forget RareWare line ups too! Were hoping for long awaited anticipated titled "Perfect Dark Zero II" the return of Johanna Dark! And please Killer Instinct for Xbox 360, possibly a remake of Jet Force: Gemini! make it happen RareWare! For my entertainment, I think we should get StarFox for Xbox 360 since it's spreading all over Google, you guys can buy it back! I loved StarFox: Adventures anyways. But hey that's only a -rumour-, right? Riight.Also who could forget? The bear and bird project, hopefully you can make another sequel! As you can see we're all excited for RareWare line-ups, and as wells CapComs USA (Booth #4522 gotcha' covered) line-up.

Biggest line-ups:

• Dead Rising II (Capcom)
• Assassins Creed II (Ubisoft)
• Halo III: ODST (Bungie)
• Mass Effect II (BioWare)
• BioShock II (2K Games)
  
• Modern Warfare II (Infantry Ward)
  

Those are the biggest line-ups perhaps this season's block-busters that's coming this Fall/Summer. What games/Appliances are you waiting for? I'd love to hear!

Been browsing lately, yeah, and there was an apparent headline titling: "360 MGS4, next Grand Theft Auto IV Downloadable Content topping Microsoft's E3 lineup?"

Straight from the site:

" Metal Gear Solid 4 + Oxide, the long-rumored Xbox 360 port of the best-selling PlayStation 3 stealth action and GameSpot's 2008 Game of the Year. The announcement will be the finale of the presentation, apparently, although the game may the subject of Kojima Productions' May 18 mystery announcement."

To me, I think this is false, browsing around Google all day just trying to find this new "Metal Gear Solid IV + Oxide"?

Microsoft is just trying to bring on the hype for the next E3 Summer event, sure that's a good deal, but although why is no one hyped up for Microsoft's "Halo 3: ODST"? It's going to be the exact same thing as Metal Gear Solid IV, it's going to be a "new chapter" in the Halo universe, sure we don't know this new character as the renowned Solid Snake. When the Metal Gear Solid IV: "iPhone" application that was released in the last year or so people got perplexed because of the icon.

Ad for Metal Gear iPhone:

Pretty cool, right?

Now Microsofts Xbox 360 Icon:

Hey that looks like the same button as the Metal Gear ad!

Sure the button looks similar to the one on the power button, but it's a symbol. Example:

Exactly, so you'd be thinking the same thing, "Oh my god new Xbox game!" no it's just a power button, sure it has the exact same button. But it's wrong!

Rumor control is done. Thank you.
