On Tuesday, we learned that the internet song sensation, “Trogdor the Burninator” would be an extra bonus song in the upcomingGuitar Hero II. The “guitarist,” if you’re able to call him that, in the video claims to have a patched version of theGuitar Hero IIdemo that was passed around, allowing him to play the song. The song itself is good, but the only problem with the video is that the “guitarist” absolutely insists on beating the pick button with his metal hand like the bitch who kept the extra $20....

Apparently all of Atlus’ computers rely on this super one to function. Hmm. Okay. Says the funny press release: “Unfortunately, a few Atlus titles will have to be slightly rescheduled as to their date of release, but the changes will be minimal....
