I Need Help

wolf · 07-11-2007, 01:45 PM

Okay, so I'm at work, innocently surfing the internet while I'm on perpetual hold with an insurance company, and I find out something that is so terrible, that I have to approach all of you, my best and dearest pseudofriends (and quite a few actual friends), for advice.

There is an upcoming release for Guitar Hero Encore: Rock the 80s.

This lead me to investigate Guitar Hero 1 and 2.

Please give me reasons that I don't need to have this.

Your health! Save yourself from the debilitating heartbreak of carpal tunnel syndrome.

(It does look like fun, if you were good at it. I don't think I would be. The 80's tracks are great!)

There are none. I was in the game shop with a buddy the other day and played this for almost an hour. I am not a gamer, but I do have a Wii. When this becomes available for the Wii, I MUST own it.

Go to youtube and search for Guitar Hero. Some people really do need to get out of the house more.

we have hero 2 - don't know if you know this, but on this one you can also play bass.

the boys love it.

A likely story.

My son loves Guitar Hero, and is very aggravated that we won't get it. (It's not the game itself, so much as we don't have a Playstation 2! Just a scruffy old Playstation 1.) His friends all love it too, and some of them have it.

If the prospect of having the same taste as eight-year-old boys will keep you from getting the game, then go for it. (Personally I wouldn't let that stop me.)

An actual guitar and amp could be had on Craigslist for less than the price of a console + game.

Cloud · 07-11-2007, 04:11 PM

it's a video game? not instructional? I was thinking it was just a cd set . . .

uh, yeah! you don't need that! Just like I didn't need that pearl necklace.

You should have said something. Here is a tissue.

@ t.o.g LoL

Wolf. Look in the mirror and say these words thirty times "I don't need Guitar Hero....I don't need Guitar Hero"

Then, when you've done that go to the shop and buy Guitar Hero and tell us if it's as much fun as it sounds.

Cloud · 07-11-2007, 05:16 PM

theotherguy: don't need a tissue.

I swallow.

but thanks!

Oh, pshaw. Playing on real strings will give you big ol' calluses, and you have to actually know what you're doing. Guitar Hero is pressing buttons on a guitar-shaped controller.

And I'm sorry wolf, but I cannot give you a single reason why you don't need to have this. Not a single one.

xoxoxoBruce · 07-13-2007, 06:07 AM

Oh, oh, I know.... your mother will hate it.

So when can I come over and jam?
