Adidas is coming out with a new line of Star Wars inspired “kicks” this year.  The commercial above combines geek culture with urban culture both artistically and tastefully.  Just like the new line does. The commercial really makes me want to go out and get a pair of X-Wing sneakers ASAP.  Besides all the “dopeness” of this awesome merge of cultures, what does Daft Punk have to do with it? I kind of got the chills when I saw them.

Urban + Geek + Daft Punk = Best commercial of 2010?

I’m big fan of Daft Punk and after hearing that they are putting in 10 mixes into DJ Hero, I knew I had to preorder it.  More and more I’m getting excited about this game.  Now, after seeing the above TV commercial, I’m going crazy.  I feel like DJ Hero is going to be even bigger than Guitar Hero and Rock Band.

“But Nelson, why would I say such a thing?!”

Because, after taking another glance at the full track list, there doesn’t seem to be any one song that anyone would not want to play.  For instance, how many of you go through your list of songs in Guitar Hero or Rock Band and go, “meh.” Exactly my point.  Also, if you’re still on the fence about DJ Hero, let me remind you about one track that will be in the game.

Vanilla Ice – “Ice Ice Baby” vs. MC Hammer – “U Can’t Touch This”

Yea. I know. Awesome. Go to your local Best Buy, GameStop, or wherever you pre-order games now.  I have a feeling this game will be selling out everywhere.
