Today in Joystiq: March 21, 2008

by Ross Miller { Mar 21st 2008 at 11:59PM }

In light of Gibson's recent penchant for lawsuits, we thought we'd find a Guitar Hero image for the recap (please don't sue us, Gibson). Here's a Fender guitar, a Guitar Hero guitar and a Fender bass made out of LEGO that's functional as a GH controller. Blue Star Lego calls it a "Family Snapshot." Check out the highlights for today:

Is that a PS2 or an amp?

Both are about the same size... can't tell the difference =p

ill trooper @ Mar 22nd 2008 3:25AM

You must be using some pretty small amps... That's not even as big as a head unit!

playwhutyalike @ Mar 22nd 2008 8:46AM

A long time ago I had a Fender Squier and a little amp that size. A "practice" amp. It sounded like ass compared to my friend's Peavey Bandit 112.

WhatIsThatThing @ Mar 22nd 2008 12:43AM

that is clearly a joke...so you phail?

deadpool @ Mar 22nd 2008 3:18AM

Abuzar @ Mar 22nd 2008 8:50AM

the real guitar isnt a fender, I dont know what it is

sqwarlock @ Mar 22nd 2008 6:06AM

This. The headstock gives it away. The bridge does too.

Keshava @ Mar 23rd 2008 8:53AM

Apparently, it's a Lotus. Never heard of the brand before.

You can read the headstock logo a bit more clearly in this photo:

The camera shows Captain Falcon many miles above the stage, falling at a rapid speed, while playing a flaming guitar with his teeth. He gets bored and throws the guitar at a nearby mountain, causing the mountain to explode. Only instead of debris, pornography comes flying out of the explosion, which Captain Falcon looks at while eating raw meat, drinking beer, and flexing his biceps.

He gets bored with the pornography, so he destroys it all with his chest hair, which he can grow at will. He finishes his raw meat and beer, so he eats the beer glass, like a real man. He still has quite a long way to go before he crashes into the stage, so he starts striking manly poses, while shooting bullets out of his iron nipples. These bullets explode upon impact with the ground, launching a flaming truck into the air, straight towards Captain Falcon, who slices it in half before it can reach him with the force created by him flexing his pecks.

As he passes the gas tank, which became detached, he falcon punches it causing it to explode with the force of a nuclear warhead. This propels Captain Falcon towards the stage at an incredible speed.

Captain Falcon crashes into the stage with a pelvic thrust, done at near the speed of light. He climbs out of the crater he created, and flexes every muscle in his body at the same time. The incredible force created by this kills everyone within a 500 mile radius, and every female in the universe climaxes.
