Found: Castle Rocks

Feed the birds.This week’s episode of ABC’s Castle opened with the titular character rocking out in Guitar Hero 5 to “Dancing With Myself.” Nathan Fillion (of Firefly and Dr. Horrible fame) showed off some sweet rock moves to earn himself even more geek cred — as if starring in a cult sci-fi TV show and voicing a Halo character weren’t enough.

If you’re not watching this show, you really ought to be. It’s smart, funny, and unpredictable, and it features some really excellent performances, especially from Fillion and Molly C. Quinn, who plays Castle’s daughter. There’s just one problem: This week’s episode was by far my least favorite since the show launched last season. So, watch it to see Fillion rock out, but then watch another to get a sense of what the show is like when it’s firing on all cylinders.

Very clearly not a Guitar Hero cake.This comes from Flickr user photosbysgo‘s photostream, but I have no idea who made it or for what occasion. If you stumble across any details, please leave them in the comments, because that thing looks friggin delicious.

Found: Football Hero

I don't care why, it's beautiful anyway.That would be “Soccer Hero” to us Yanks — a project to play along to a track by UK indie band Kasabian…by kicking soccer balls at colored targets.

Full video of the amazing, delightfully pointless project after the break.

Found: Jingles Rock Band

Who am I kidding? I'd probably buy it.A recent episode of the undeniably logarithmic Escapist News Network features startling revelations about an upcoming Rock Band release.

Coverage begins about three minutes in. I’ve embedded the whole video after the break, but make sure you check out more ENN episodes at the Source link.

Now go and have yourself a great weekend.

Found: Use a Guitar Controller to Play Poker Online

Me, I think I'd prefer, I dunno, a regular contoller?This definitely goes in the “why on earth would you bother?” file for me, but a fellow over at Poker Listings figured out how to set up a Rock Band guitar with his PC so that he can control his online poker play whilst lounging comfortably in a recliner.

With his guitar.
