Rock Band
I haven’t been blogging this weekend because I have been too busy playing Rock Band. I can’t tell you how much I love this game. It is the best waste of time I have ever had. It rules. I can strum along on my guitar shaped video game controller and feel like I actually have some talent. The family makes a great band, Katy as the lead singer, Hannah on drums and me on guitar. I think that my nerdy blogger boyfriend has gotten tired of it, not that I could blame him for that. I couldn’t get interested in SPORE and he is addicted to that game.
What I love the most about Rock Band is the fact that it gives me a new appreciation for musicians. I can hardly play Enter Sandman while stone-cold sober on a plastic controller. I usually get booed off the stage in EASY mode because I am so terrible. Can you imagine how badly I would fail at making music if I had to play with a real guitar and I ingested the substances that these rock stars use? That would be very funny and you would all have a great time pointing and laughing but it would definitely not be musical. It would be sad.
I love living vicariously through others with the use of technology. Thus, I love Rock Band. As my children would say, it’s my BFFFL.
