A mood most foul -

You want to know what I think of Guitar Hero? (Keep in mind, I've yet to even play the damn thing and have only a nodding acquaintance with it, 100% gathered at Best Buy on my way to buy something else.)

Yup. It blends. Quite nicely, actually.

It's fun if you play it but it's not for everyone. Whatever floats whoever's boats and all that jazz.

Oh my.*Stares, looking around* I think somewhere I just heard Dave, Zack, Rey and some other Guitar Hero fans scream in horror. I...blinked.

Tom Dickson is my hero.

Some day I'll have to buy one of those blenders....there are so many things I want to blend.

The heck did Guitar Hero ever do to make you despise it so? :(:(:(

*hugs his white GH guitar*

Blame it on a total butts day - and no Beach Boys. (*wha?*)

*chuckles* I've yet to actually play the damn thing - but I'm given to understand that there are bars around here with Guitar Hero hours, it's that easy/fun/hip.

There are days when nothing works better than tossing it all into a blender. I swear it.

I never managed to learn to play a guitar -- (ooh, just as I was typing this, an ad for the "Guitar Hero" episode of South park came on: I recommend it to on and all) -- something about taking two hands to play one note stymied me. Consequently, Guitar Hero passed me by completely.

On the other hand, or on the same two hands, actually, I bought a Game Cube just so I could play Donkey Konga, which is very similar, only it's percussion based. And after bowling last weekend, I tried Dance Dance Revolution for the first time, and not only resolved to do it every time I return to the bowling alley, but to get the home version. The same theater guys who got me hooked on Donkey Konga used to play DDR all the time as well, and I'd be in better shape if I had started then.

By coincidence, in the early 80s, I gave some thought to video games that don't involve simulated violence, and thought of a recording studio where you put tracks in on a keyboard and saved them to your own cassettes.
