Here's a sampling of our Mii Sweepstakes entries. Click on the picture to view more of them.
We sent out a call on January14 urging everyone to enter our Mii Sweepstakes, and we'd like to thank all of you who entered, especially those of you who sent us pictures of your Mii character.

Although we can only award the grand prize to one person, we'd like to think of all of you as winners, or at least we'd like to think of you as winners that we don't have to give anything to. Allow us to extend our congratulations to our grand-prize winner Eddie T. from Los Angeles. Eddie scored a Nintendo Wii console, an extra Wii remote, a Wii Nunchuk controller, a Wii Classic controller and a 2,000-point Wii Points Card.

For the rest of you winners who didn't actually win anything in the material sense of the word, you can try again just by signing up for our e-mail updates here. You'll automatically be entered for a chance to win a PlayStation 3 80GB and a Nintendo Wii! If you like reading our blog, you'll love our weekly newsletter.

One-Hit Wonders Quiz Answers

If you cram too much music trivia into your brain, you might forget where you left your car keys.
As promised, here are the answers to yesterday's One-Hit Wonders Quiz.

Artists:
1. Billy Paul - C. Me & Mrs. Jones
2. Carl Douglas - J. Kung Fu Fighting
3. Men Without Hats - A. The Safety Dance
4. Lipps, Inc. - D. Funkytown
5. Tommy Tutone - B. 867-5309/Jenny
6. The Proclaimers - F. I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)
7. Starland Vocal Band - H. Afternoon Delight
8. Nena - G. 99 Luftballoons
9. Baha Men - E. Who Let The Dogs Out
10. Toni Basil - I. Mickey

Also, give yourself a million bonus points if you recognized Dexy's Midnight Runners as the band responsible for Come On, Eileen, or if you knew The Knack recorded My Sharona. If you remembered that Billy, Don't Be a Hero was actually a hit for two different bands in the same year, (Paper Lace in the U.K. and Bo Donaldson & the Heywoods in the U.S.) then that's just kind of sad.

And if you knew that Paper Lace topped the U.S. charts the following year with The Night Chicago Died, your car keys might still be in your ignition.
Aerosmith: They Just Might Make it

They can probably quit their day jobs now.
Few bands have the longevity and the cultural relevance to have a Guitar Hero game built entirely around them. Aerosmith is certainly one of those bands that has stood the test of time.

That's probably the reason that Activision chose to go with Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, instead of Guitar Hero: Dexy's Midnight Runners or Guitar Hero: The Knack.

Although we've heard that yodeling Slim Whitman topped the charts in England longer than the Beatles and Elvis combined, it was probably a good idea to skip him, as well.

Speaking of "where-are-they-now?" bands, we'd like to test your music-trivia knowledge. See how many of these hits you can match up with the one-hit wonders:

Artists:
1. Billy Paul   2. Carl Douglas   3. Men Without Hats    4. Lipps, Inc.   5. Tommy Tutone
6. The Proclaimers    7. Starland Vocal Band   8. Nena   9. Baha Men   10. Toni Basil

Songs:
A. The Safety Dance   B. 867-5309/Jenny   C. Me & Mrs. Jones    D. Funkytown
E. Who Let The Dogs Out   F. I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)    G. 99 Luftballoons   H. Afternoon Delight
I. Mickey    J. Kung Fu Fighting

We should point out that the human brain can only hold so much information. So if you know who sang Billy, Don't Be a Hero, that bit of trivia probably shoved out something important, like where you put your car keys. We'll post the answers tomorrow. Guitar Hero: Aerosmith is scheduled for a June 30 release.
