new opiate for the masses

Guitar Hero is the only video game I have ever "rushed out and bought."

After playing it once I was fully supportive of Matthew buying a video game.

First time.

If you've never played it before, I will caution you that it's just a little bit all-consuming. You'll dream it. You'll catch yourself air-guitar-hero-ing. When you're out with friends who've played it you'll keep saying to each other,

"hey, this would make an awesome guitar hero song!"

I play it when I get home from work to unwind. I play it while I'm waiting for the rice to boil when I'm making supper. I play it while I'm waiting for Matt to get out of the bathroom, and instead of watching TV right before bed.

Next month we're going to buy Guitar Hero 3 so that we can have 2 player battles. I have no concern about the cost. I must own the entire Guitar Hero Set. It's an investment.

Well, I should wrap this up. Maybe I can practice that tough solo a bit before I have to go to class.
