oh i think guitar hero's great. i'm a bigtime fan of guitarfreaks and even have blistered my fingers a few times from playing too much too hard, and i bought a PS2 because of guitar hero. both games are awesome, regardless of where the idea came from.
actually it's been confirmed there will be more than one guitar hero sequel, themed by genre, and priced as if it were an expansion pack. the game's sold well enough they're already developing
and best part, it'll be for PS2 still. guitar hero doesn't look like it'll be a PS3 thing for a long long time to come
Degrading music as an art form?
Gee, aren't you elitist.
I bet you feel _great_ now, knowing that you're SOOOOO much better than him and his little _toy_
Why don't ya keep on pattin' yourself on the back there.
think for a moment. maybe she likes a guy who's secure enough with himself to enjoy playing a game like that rather than shun it for not being as "cool as the real thing".
last i checked, confidence and self assuredness was ten times the girl magnet as guitar playing supposedly is.
I'm surprised to see this kind of response on slashdot of all places. OMG I PLAY REAL GUITAR HAHA U PLAY TOY LOSER!
It's called a video _game_.
Yknow, something that isn't real, you do for fun?
I play guitar, bass, piano, and drums, and recently picked up guitar hero. honestly? guitar hero's not at all like any "real" instrument, yes, but it's great fun, if you're not so insecure and self conscious about it that the fact it's not "real HARDCORE GUITAR AAARRRGH".
So slashdot, wake up, remember you're on a tech site and supposedly a fan of odd hacks and of gaming, and stop waving your e-peen about by declaring you're better than him for playing "the real thing"
Among his famous tales is the haunting 'The Feather Pillow,' in which a young bride, Alicia, withers in a large silent house. Jordan, her husband, watches helplessly as her life fades away. After Alicia's death a servant finds in her pillow a grotesque animal with hairy legs, a parasitic creature, swollen from the blood it has sucked from Alicia.
"These parasites of feathered creatures, diminutive in their habitual environment, reach enormous proportions under certain conditions. Human blood seems particularly favourable to them, and it is not rare to encounter them in feather pillows."

and guitar hero was directly and admittedly based off the long-running konami arcade game series GuitarFreaks your point?
