Guitar Hero

Now that i'm posting 10 entries in a row, I thought I'd mention guitar hero. My roommates are OBSESSED with guitar hero in an unhealthy matter. Guitar hero is a daily part of their lives. I do not really understand the appeal of the game, but I do not mind watching them play. However, guitar hero is not only a game, it has its own soundtrack. My one roommate Travis downloaded the soundtrack and comes out and tells us " This is my favorite guitar hero song!" Yes, he has a favorite guitar hero song. I love that a company can make such a success out of the game, and i asked him why do you enjoy it, your not even playing a real guitar. Trav told me that when you are playing and seeing the buttons and moving your finger it really feels like you are playing a guitar. Then i asked him why doesn't he just learn to play a real guitar... and he said he didn't have the time. Essentially guitar hero gives people the satisfaction that they are musicians, when really they aren't. However, it is their reality.
