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 song real guuud in 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?
