Activision paid $99.9 million for Guitar Hero's publisher in 2006, made over $2 billion off the franchise, then killed the entire genre in four years. Today that publisher's name came back from the dead to sell plastic guitars again.

RedOctane was two brothers, Kai and Charles Huang, who started out selling dance pads. They published the first Guitar Hero in 2005 and it hit $1 billion in North American sales in 26 months, faster than any franchise before it.

So Activision did what Activision does. Annualize.

In 2009 alone they shipped Guitar Hero 5, Band Hero, DJ Hero, and Guitar Hero editions for Metallica, Van Halen, and Smash Hits. Six music games in twelve months.

That playbook works for Call of Duty because a sequel only asks for $60. A Guitar Hero sequel asked you to justify the $100 plastic guitar already in your closet, and every new SKU competed with the last one on the same shelf. Genre revenue went from $1.7 billion in 2008 to about $300 million in 2010. Activision shut down RedOctane, then the whole Guitar Hero business unit.

They strip-mined ten years of demand into three.

Now the Huang brothers are back as advisors at a revived RedOctane, the studio head is a Guitar Hero veteran, and Stage Tour launches December 10 with 90 licensed songs and 180 real Gibson guitars. Fifteen years of untouched demand, and the people who invented the genre finally get a second run at it.

Former NBA star Sebastian Telfair is back to living in the projects.

Talk about Karma.

Telfair was arrested several times throughout his career for multiple weapons and marijuana violations.

But his most notable crime was conspiring with other players to defraud the NBA’s health and welfare benefit plan out of $4m.

Telfair would submit false and fraudulent claims to get reimbursed for medical and dental expenses that never happened.

So it’s back to the projects for Telfair.

No 9 to 5.

No new career path.

Just living off of government handouts the same way his father did. 🥴

Trump: Abraham Lincoln was a lightweight. When he got shot, he died. I took a bullet, smiled with the SS, stopped to pick up my shoes, and all I needed was an ear drape for a few days— not a mark on me. No one’s tougher than me— not even Superman.

The heartbreak of dementia.

During a junior varsity football game in Berrien County, Michigan, on September 19, 2025, Lakeshore High School player Colton Mims sustained severe spine fractures after an opponent jumped on him.

What do you notice about the two players?

🚨 BREAKING: ICE secretly deported Luis Leon, an 82-year-old torture survivor and U.S. legal resident of nearly 40 years, after he walked into an immigration office to replace a lost green card.

Instead of processing the request, ICE handcuffed him, detained his wife for 10 hours, and later told the family; through a fake “lawyer,” that he was dead.

Turns out, ICE quietly transferred him through a Minnesota detention center and dumped him in Guatemala, a country he has zero ties to. There’s no deportation paperwork, no public record. His family only found him alive after relatives in Chile tracked him to a Guatemalan hospital.

Leon suffers from diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart issues. The DOJ is now under fire, but this is the Trump-era immigration machine still in motion—cruel, unaccountable, and lawless.

If they can disappear an elderly, law-abiding U.S. resident…

They can disappear anyone.
