Jesus...is the goatee mandatory?

"Who me?" "No, I never liked that game. I always thought it was stupid."


I can't wait for the Guitar Hero hipster backlash.

We need to jump on this bandwagon, peppers....make a BBGS hero game.
I can see the little beer bottle and cigarette controllers
'Man I just couldn't get past the level where you have to drink 19 beers and smoke 2 packs of cigarettes over the course of 5 songs! I haven't even got to the pills level yet!'

No need to get bent out of shape because someone on the PRF thinks a video game of being in an arena-rock band playing a plastic guitar is lame.

I never said anyone was stupid- I said the act of playing Guitar Hero IMO was retarded to do if you can just play a real guitar. It's not something like Unreal Tournament (or other super-violent games) where you can do something that you can't really do in real life. That's a video game to me. That's why I said it was cartoon porn.

Now if it was a video game of Chapman Stick Hero, SIGN ME UP.

uh, ok. well we can argue semantics all day. so, you didn't say we're stupid, just that we're retarded. same thing, in context.

what i was saying was you were missing the point of what barndog was telling you. instead you went on with some diatribe about why we need to care what you think.

let's relive it shall we?

Cuz it's a video game about something that I can already do that is fun and creative in its own right. I think of it like this: I'm not going to play a video game about painting a picture, I am going to paint a picture. Hey, it just seems kind of retarded to do unless you don't know how to play guitar and are 5 years old. Really.

What's next, cooking video games? Iron Chef XII for the wii.

you ignored the question, "why do you give a shit that we happen to like a video game?"

The hipster version would be a band playing on the screen and you have to stand absolutely still in the audience without making a sound or movement, it can have sensors you hook up to yourself and showing any excitement at the music whatsoever will cost you points, maybe they can have a dirty look meter...like there's a guy there enjoying himself and you have to shoot him dirty looks till he calms down, folds his arms and stares at the ground
Then after the band is finished there's a level where you stand and talk to your hipster friends and tell them how unimpressed you were at the performance

As much as I disagree with the idea of this game and how stupid I think the concept is, I'd be lying if I said this game isn't a really fun time.
