Imagine a game made solely of music you’ve never heard. Imagine a game where you could play along with countless songs that you’ve never known. Imagine a game that assumes you’ll be familiar with everything in it, but you’re not at all. That song for me is every guitar-based music game out there:Rock Band, Guitar Hero, Hero Rocker, (insert band name) Hero, Band of Guitar Brothers— whatever that sh*t is called. It may be hard to wrap your head around the concept of not knowing the songs, but imagine that you’re playing a game made of Chinese pop tunes. Would you have fun playing that?
One of these plastic guitar games,Rock Band 3, is now priced at $19.99, for the PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii. Amazon, Gamestop and Best Buy have the title available now at the dissociated price. Have a f*ckin’ blast with a bunch of old songs I’ve never heard at your little parties. Rock out hard, break a sweat. Show off that you can beat every song on Super Hard Perfect Extreme or whatever. Sing the songreal guuudin your plastic mic. Tell yourself that drumming in this game is a useful skill. I’ll be over here pretending like I know what you’re talking about when you reference old movies, list off actor names and talk about comedians or politics or whatever.
Fu*k! Where are all the cool people at these days?
