'''''[[Wikipedia:Guitar Hero (series)|Guitar Hero]]''''' is a series of video games formerly developed by [[Wikipedia:Harmonix Music Systems|Harmonix]] that enables players to play along to well-known rock songs using a guitar-shaped controller. The CEO of Harmonix, [[Wikipedia:Alex Rigopulos|Alex Rigopulos]], contacted [[The Brothers Chaps]] and asked if they would be willing to include a [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] [[song]] as a bonus track on ''[[Wikipedia:Guitar Hero II|Guitar Hero II]]'' (see [[Georgia Tech - 26 Apr 2007]]). Following the success of ''Guitar Hero II'', Harmonix developed ''[[Wikipedia:Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s|Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s]]'' and once again used a Homestar Runner song as part of the game's set list. Another sequel in the series, ''[[Wikipedia:Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock|Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock]]'' is expected to be released in the fall of 2007, but no Homestar Runner songs are confirmed to be on the set list, presumably because the game is being developed by [[Wikipedia:Neversoft|Neversoft]] rather than Harmonix.
