The album features pop punk classics, and tub-thumping guitar anthems from the likes of New Found Glory, Sum 41, Reel Big Fish and A, with 44 songs of inspired rocky goodness dedicated to celebrating the best the genre has ever offered.
The attitude-heavy compilation is a must for fans of bands like Blink 182, Smash Mouth and P.O.D. and is the perfect way to celebrate the golden era of pop punk, when jeans were baggier, hoodies were hoodier and only the people who didn’t care about being cool had tattoos.
Here’s a megamix of exactly what you can expect from the CD…

Capcom of Japan has just announced their latest "Street Fighter" cross over, in which Ryu and company goes against pretty much everyone under the publisher's umbrella. Hence the title "Street Fighter X All Capcom."
Very little is known at the moment. Though feel free to poke around the official website, which is chock full of Capcom personalities, who are all presumably featured characters.
The idea of Batsu Ichimonji (from Rival Schools: United By Fate) facing off against Sissel (from Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective) is enough to make any Capcom diehard's head explode, but there might be zero cause for celebration in the end.
First of all, The Escapist theorizes that instead of being a fighting game, which is what everyone wants, it could be something along the lines of a Rps, similar to "Project X Zone." Which wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.

The missing piece of the Walter Schreifels reunion puzzle has at last fallen into place: Quicksand, the seminal post-hardcore band Schreifels led in the early ’90s, has announced a tour following a handful of reunion gigs, according to Exclaim. For years, Schreifels seemed content to move on from his bands just before they really took off. In the ’80s, it was his hardcore band Gorilla Biscuits. In the early ’90s, it was Quicksand. Around the millennium, it happened again with Rival Schools. At least Gorilla Biscuits and Quicksand went on to achieve “influential but unheralded” status. But in 2005, a ...

After seven years with Austin-based Vigil Games, Madureira announced via his Facebook page that he was making his exit, and returning to comics.
Madureira says the split was on good terms and assured fans that Vigil was currently in good hands.
Madureira (or "Joe Mad" as he's called by the comics set) made his name in the mid-90's at Marvel, bringing a chunky, anime style to the X-Men line of comics before kicking off his creator-owned title, Battle Chasers at Image. He made a brief return to Marvel a few years back under writer Jeph Loeb for Ultimates 3, but he's been pretty quiet on the comics front since then.
He co-founded Vigil back in 2005 with NCSoft veteran David Adams. In that time he served as Creative Director, most recently on Vigil Games' Darksiders II.

Put this squarely in the "maybe" column, but Rival Schools creator and director of Capcom vs. Snk 2 director Hideaki Itsuno says he has plans which could potentially see both classic 2D fighters come to current gen consoles. In an interview with Anime News Network, Itsuno said of a possible digital release of Rival High Schools:
I happen to have certain plans to do things like that. I don't know if it'll come to fruition, but it's on my agenda for sure.
The story was more or less the same when it came to a downloadable release of Capcom vs. Snk 2, with Itsuno saying he had plans on that front as well.
With the recent wave of digital offerings for beloved (Darkstalkers Resurrection) or even obscure (Jo Jo's Bizarre Adventure HD Ver.) fighting games, it wouldn't be a stretch to see Capcom vs. Snk 2 make its way onto Xbla and Psn (and the Wii U,...

Gen Y super fan recalls stumbling upon Beastie Boys' 'So What'Cha Want' and falling for 'three men from New York who rapped and rocked.'

On Friday (May 4), news broke that Adam "McA" Yauch had died at age 47 and I found myself working on what is easily the most difficult piece I've ever had to write. Because it's something I've never wanted nor intended to write.
You see, the Beastie Boys are my favorite band of all time. I stumbled upon the "So What'Cha Want" video when I was very young and impressionable and maybe a little too mature for my age, and remained steadfastly obsessed with the three men from New York who rapped, rocked and sometimes just played their instruments.
They were my band, and I related to them, perhaps at the most base level: We're all...

Singer-guitarist Walter Schreifels spent the ’90s trying to infiltrate the mainstream with Quicksand, a group second only to Fugazi in the post-hardcore pantheon. Quicksand triumphed artistically but flopped commercially—so when Schreifels’ next project, Rival Schools, released the anthemic United By Fate in 2001, it was hard not to see the album as a concession to the masses. But United’s Foo Fighters-meets-Sunny Day Real Estate sound didn’t break through either, even though it’s one of Schreifels’ best and most influential releases. After a shelved second album, Rival Schools has returned with Pedals. Wisely, it follows United’s ...

Really, you should be listening to music every day, but thanks to Twitter, Monday has become the best day of the week to discover new songs, show some love to the tune currently dominating your iPod playlist and quietly judge the listening habits of your closest friends. Yes, it's #MusicMonday, one of Twitter's most enduring trending topics. Hence "MTV News' #MusicMonday," a weekly look at the songs we are currently crushing on.
This week, Rival Schools call it a comeback.
Back at the turn of the century, a group of veterans from various hardcore punk scenes banded together to form something of a supergroup. Consisting of Walter Schreifels (Quicksand, Gorilla Biscuits), Sam Siegler (Civ), Cache Tolman (Iceburn) and Ian Love. Their debut album (2001's United By Fate, produced by Luke Ebbin, who also twiddled the knobs on Bon Jovi's Bounce and Crush) brought together swirls of post-hardcore noise and surprisingly sticky melody,...

Now this? This is cool! The new music video for the Rival Schools song "Wring it Out" has hit the Net, and it manages to do what just about every possession film of the last 30 years got wrong ... create a loving homage to The Exorcist.
The video comes to us from the writer and director of Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Undead, Jordan Galland, and it stars Geneva Carr, whom you might recognize as the undercover Rosicrucian Agent from Undead, and Jemima Kirke, an actress most recently featured in the indie film Tiny Furniture, which won an Independent Spirit Award over the weekend.
This is the third music video that Jordan has directed in the past few months - you might remember his other offbeat Harold & Maude inspired video for The Americans, too.
You can watch all of Jordan's videos here.

With a band name taken from a Jawbreaker lyric and guest vocals by Rival Schools’ Walter Schreifels, it’s easy to mistake Nightmares For A Week’s Don’t Die as an emo throwback. Granted, that would only be half a mistake. The New York trio packs its debut album with chiseled, sinewy pop-punk that’s unafraid to rip out its guts and fly them up the flagpole. Singer-guitarist Bill Manley uses maudlin-yet-anthemic songs like “Baby” and “Bear Mountain”—catchy, imagistic confessionals unabashedly in thrall to Jawbreaker’s Dear You—to anchor occasional tracks full of acoustic guitar, organ, and ...

Wolverine vs. Ryu
Iron Man vs. Morrigan
Hulk vs. Chris Redfield
And now for the less obvious ones:
Marvel Mystery Characters
1 - Captain America
2 - Doctor Doom
3 - Deadpool
4 - Hawkeye
5 - No idea. Gambit? Magneto?
Capcom Mystery Characters
6 - Felicia of "Darkstalkers"
7 - Frank West of "Dead Rising"
8 - Kyoko Minazuki of "Rival Schools" perhaps?

As new games get announced every week, most gamers rejoice when old school games from their youth are re-released on updated platforms so they can enjoy them all over again. However, there's one group that takes a deep breath as they read each and every game announcement, hoping not to see certain titles appear; classic games that they already own, and have invested in. This is the anxious life of a video game collector; a certain sect of gamers that value video games so much that they invest huge sums of money into amassing valuable games.
While their reasons may range from nostalgia to economical, one thing remains true; each time an old game gets re-released on a new, more readily available platform, the value of the original takes some kind of a hit. Below is a breakdown of some of the most famous games that have been re-released, and...
