Eat Your Heart Out David Cook, There's a New GH Crew in Town
Remember back in May, when David Archuleta and David Cook of American Idol rocked out in their tighty-whities to Old Time Rock N' Roll for Guitar Hero? Well Activision Publishing is back in full force with their latest installment of their "Risky Business"-inspired Guitar Hero ads; a new commercial for Guitar Hero World Tour, which hits stores today. Directed by Brett Ratner, the commercial features big sports stars jamming — like Kobe Bryant (on the mic), Tony Hawk (on the drums) and Michael Phelps and Alex Rodriguez (on the guitar).

Local Experts Show Off Their Favorite Places on Google Maps
Google Maps has just announced a new feature called Favorite Places where users can select either the global or local option to see what trendsetters and local experts select as their favorite places and businesses. Google is using this new project as a way to bring attention to local businesses while encouraging those without websites to get online. As much as I like to think I already have my list of personal city faves, I absolutely love this feature because it opens up so many new options for me and you can see a gallery of photos from the location!
Jesper Video Game Playing Chair: Love It or Leave It?
Everyone sits a little differently when they're playing video games — different, at least, from how they sit while watching TV. Is it any surprise then, that someone would make a seat for video game play?
This is Ikea's new Jesper Bench ($70), which is a brilliant idea (much better than those decor-unfriendly and juvenile low seats from the '90s), but when you see someone on it, using it for how it's supposed to be used.

Heidi Klum Takes Off Her Clothes For Guitar Hero World Tour
I'm loving this new lineup of Risky Business-inspired Guitar Hero World Tour commercials! A few weeks ago we saw Kobe Bryant, Tony Hawk, Michael Phelps, and Alex Rodriguez get down and dirty for the commercial. And this week?
Does Advertising in Video Games Bother You?
My usual reaction to advertisements entering my entertainment is one of disdain — that is why I bought a TiVo, after all. But sometimes I have to give credit where credit is due, and video-game advertising is one place where ads manage to be unobtrusive. Much like product placement, which can be annoying, but can also add to the setting (think skating past an old sign on Tony Hawk), if it's done right.
