On “Guitar Hero” and “Rock Band” games
I love it. Kids today are so fucking stupid that someone finally figured out a way to charge money to play “air guitar.”
(The upside is that less kids will be forming actual bands, which is good, because most bands suck. And I’ve also turned into the guy I used to hate, the guy who actually wants to live a quiet life and knocks on neighbors’ doors and says “TURN DOWN THAT MUSIC!” when they practice with their shitty bands)

“Rhythm based games” must have some therapuetic value.
At least the fat kid aint sitting on the couch eating Doritos.
Loved the South Park episode where dad breaks out the real axe and plays ‘dust in the wind”.
The kids go “meh”.

They don’t go “meh”, they call him a fag.
I was quoting that today to the wife at the store. We went to buy a new phone and there were countless cheap parents buying their kids “rock star” and “guitar hero” with the after-xmas discount.
I love a world where actual talent, even mediocre talent, makes you a “fag”.
These games are the end of the world as we know it.

That kid sits on the couch, eating Doritos and playing “Guitar Hero”.

I know a lot of folks in their 20s, 30s and even 40s who play Guitar Hero and stuff. It’s really more like Dance Dance Revolution for the lazy. Not me though–I sometimes can be begged into picking up a controller or pulling out a deck of cards, but I just hate playing games.
I was at a New Year’s party last night where everyone was playing Rock Band on the Playstation 3. That’s the one that has two guitars, drums and vocals. At one point they did Roxanne, and everyone at the party sang along. We would have put cats in heat to shame. In other words, big stupid fun.
