Guitar Hero ... and a Guitar Zero
Nov. 23rd, 2007 10:01 pmOkay, so Kellie got one of her presents a day early, because (a) I can't keep a secret when it comes to presents, and (b) tomorrow is going to be insanely busy.
Yep, Kellie got Guitar Hero III and by the end of the day, while playing the Easy level, she'd made Tom Morello, Slash and Lucifer himself her bitches. She even got 5 stars on Metallica's "One" in the first try. Needless to say, I was highly impressed. Especially since I'm still working on getting past 3 stars on *anything* on Guitar Hero I or II.
Speaking of Guitar Hero - Blender had an article about the game: Hammer of The Geeks, with mention of the famous musicians that play it, right alongside us commoners that geek out over it: "The facsimile is convincing enough that the Guitar Hero faithful include actual rock stars, too. From Tool, Trent Reznor and Jonathan Davis to Barenaked Ladies, Rascal Flatts and Evanescence, many artists are spending the time when they’re not performing for thousands of fans pretending to perform for thousands of fans."
And P!ATD fans, apparently their addiction was pretty serious: Brendon Urie, guitarist-vocalist of Panic! At the Disco, found the game’s influence even more insidious. “I was so addicted during our last tour,” he says, “that when I was onstage, I’d be thinking of songs in terms of color patterns running through my head. Thankfully it never screwed me up, or I would have had to cut back.” Ummmm, oops! (I had a similar problem with Bejeweled, so I can understand that ... heh)
I've gotten a few new friends, so here are a few (pretty) recent entries to check out, if you are interested:
A general intro post
Fanfic Intro (if you can read it, you're in the filter)
And the prior entry is my "I'm sending holiday cards - want one?" offer. :-)
