As long as our servers are o.k., we have to find new things for spend free time, and let me be more precise here: it’s as quiet as a graveyard, I can even hear TheBoredIt digging his nose and Larry here scratching his butt.

We have tried everything: cooking lessons, pilates sesions, origami, etc. Boring, boring, boring! We need some action here, muzak as loud as posible and a six-pack -it’s friday anyway. But, what kind o’music? Who’s the best band of all, trought time and style? If your answer is The Beatles, then you’re right! You’re well informed and educated, for sure! If you answered som’thing else, you’re in the wrong post. Everyone wants to get a piece of the Fab Four’s music and make oodles of boodle for themselves through either commercial usage, digital downloads, or even appearing in videogaming.

So, you’re still reading? good for you. After a failed war at the office, we decided to be pro-peace (please, read this!), that’s why we’re forming a band. We’ve been practicing with Guitar Hero (Activision) and Rock Band (MTV Games) and we were ready to beat the charts. While “Sgt. Larry’s Bored Geeks Club Gang” is ready to beat the charts, something new is cooking and smells good!

According to Financial Times, reps for the British music legends are currently in talks with both Activision (Guitar Hero) and MTV Games (Rock Band) in regards to potentially bringing Beatles master recordings to either rhythm game. Both Activision and MTV Games have not outright said that they have been gunning for Beatles rights.

This note makes me recall that, back in March, we heard rumblings about interest in a Beatles solo-Guitar Hero game similar to what’s going on with Aerosmith and Metallica. Around that same time, rumors of Beatles songs going to iTunes hit and gave signs of a potentially broadening license catalog where there virtually was none before.

What this means is that we know for sure the rights holders have interest in bringing out the songs; the question now is: who will get them? A victor might be found quickly as a deal could be “reached in a matter of weeks.” E3 fits into that time frame; perhaps we’ll know then?

Anyway, as dude Larry said to me this morning: If Beatles on videogame became a reallity, this will bring close Beatles’ Fans to videogames and videogamers to The Beatles. Finally, if this approaches common people to the expierience to be a Beatle, a game in wich you could play Hugh Hefner’s life would be a tremendous success!!!

Wake me up when this come true!
