Rock Band is great, especially for lazy bums like me who aren't going to pay some designer jeans-wearing buttfarmer for drum lessons. I've gotten a bunch of guys together in my pen, and we play about twice every week. Inbetween Grateful Dead, Judas Priest, and Disturbed, I've got my mitts full. Too bad there's not more metal.
How many of you guys picked up Rock Band 2? Still playing Guitar Hero? Which one's your rock game of choice? I'll be pokin' my nose in on your comments, so let me what you think of all these guitar wars. (PS: I HATE "Master Exploder" and its lyrics.)
Good morning, Slobs! Did you win a contest and haven't gotten your prize yet? Well, we're doing a roll call to pay you loyal readers what we owe!

That time has come again to spurt out yet another free video game from deep within the bowels of the SlobsofGaming. So put on your thinking caps and start barking out guesses of what game you think this giant face-shattering iron fist is from. What game will you win? It shall be revealed after a winner emerges. Good luck!
Medieval maces are no match for fatty lead gloves with spiked knuckes!
It was a tough decision, but sometimes you just can't beat the gross factor. Congrats to the disturbed and potentially insane FETALJUICE for his contest victory!

Sample Entry: The Liquified B.U.M. Stool Super Soaker
B.U.M., or Bum Urinary Mansludge, is the most lethal substance known to humankind, weaponized in this handy dandy mega-sized super soaker cannon! One squirt of these foul-smelling hobo juices will not only obliterate shields, but also disintegrate your flesh and health meter. (Comes with an optional septic tank-refill backpack!)
The Fourth of July is awesome. Grilling hot dogs, seeing Will Smith movies, and lighting fireworks is something that America should do more often! And while we thought about boring you with a PSA about firework safety, the Slobs have instead decided to remind you about Boom Boom Rocket and FantaVision: two firework-crazy games that don't even require you to step away from your BBQ ribs!
For the best firework gaming experience you can get, just have a few things handy:
- A big-ass television
- FantaVision and a PS2, or Boom Boom Rocket and an X360
- Huge speakers
- A DDR pad for multiplayer parties
And presto! Instant, non-injury risk fireworks for everyone! We'll see you guys back here next week, so don't lose any fingers!
We've got a brand-new copy of My Weight Loss Coach burning a hole in our cubicle, so we're having a good old-fashioned picture contest! Rules: Send us a photo of your gamer gut, and the best one wins My Weight Loss Coach! We repeat, the photo must include your gamer-gut with any gaming controller, and NO photoshopping!
(Send your entries to mckinley_noble@gamepro.com and keep it PG!)
HINT: Be creative! Use a Rock Band controller or that Taiko Drum Master set rotting away in your closet! Hell, we might just give the prize away to someone with a Power Glove, who knows?
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew.
WINNARS: Our winners, edgefusion and chazone get the technical tie! Send your info to me via PM or email to claim your free stuff. Next time, we'll have a harder screenshot!
This game's old, but an obscure cult classic. Will the first commenter win?
Welcome, true slobs! We're winding down a frantic Friday here at SlobsofGaming, so let's all kick back with a little obscure screenshot trivia -- guess the game, win a prize, all that jazz. We'll update right here once we have a winnar!
It's a brand-new episode of the GamePro Show, with editor commentary, awesome video footage, and more gaming greatness for everyone to enjoy!
See the blood and guts in Ninja Gaiden II! Witness zombie rampages and gruesome character death in RE5! And Snake makes the old look better than ever in Guns of the Patriots!
Click here to begin the madness!
I honestly have no idea what's going down in this screen.
We're throwing another difficult screen your way this week! If you've played this game, the first step to winning is admitting it! Are you man/woman enough to claim our fantastic prize this week? The first person to guess where this screenshot originates from wins a copy of MX vs ATV Untamed for PSP. Good luck and let the guessing begin!
