Guitar Hero DS Opens Up Brand New Looking-Like-A-Douche Possibilities: The Friday Nooner (EST)!
If You Seriously Still Haven't Gotten Enough Of Guitar Hero, Here's A Slightly Shittier Version Of It That You Can Play ANYWHERE YOU WANT
I don't know about you guys, but I'm sick of being chained to my television when I want to play Guitar Hero. The wireless controller was a nice attempt, but it still kept me stuck in my living room. I want complete and total freedom of movement when I rock out, you know? I'm sick of looking like a total fucking douchebag playing Guitar Hero in the privacy of my own home. If only there was a way that I could play Guitar Hero... IN PUBLIC! On the train, in the food court at the mall, in the office break room; If possible, I'd like to be able to look like a prick anywhere I go.
That used to be just a pipe dream, but come Summer 2008 that pipe dream will finally become a pipe reality!
And what better way to announce the coming Guitar Hero DS revolution than with what may possibly be the most instantly-dated commercial I've ever seen. Look at that guy and that girl. They are ready to ROCK! You can tell because they brought their Nintendo DS's and copies of Guitar Hero onto that rooftop, and they're totally rocking out in front of... what skyline is that? San Antonio, Texas? Yeah - they're totally rocking out in front of the San Antonio skyline. If that isn't enough to convince you that Guitar Hero DS is the premiere game of Summer 2008, then I don't what will.
If I didn't know the product was brand spankin' new I would assume that this commercial was made in 1992. The only explanation I can come up with is that Guitar Hero DS is early 90s themed and features hits by Spin Doctors and Counting Crows. Oh well - at least it works on rooftops!
Great blog post, will bookmark your site and also add your rss feed to my feed readers! Many thanks for a very good read!
ReplyNice posts. Keep it up.
Replyhello! Can I ask what theme are you using in your blog? thanks!
Reply"Why do people waste time playing guitar hero when they could spend that time learning to play a real guitar?"
ReplyWhy is that the first response when this comes up... every single time?
Guitar Hero isn't "time consuming" unless you're a dumbass. Any idiot can pick up the guitar and play the game on hard the first time around, so if you play easy or medium or "spend time" learning to play harder difficulties, you must be retarded. I've only logged about 4 hours in the year that I've had the game, and I play on expert. So what? I can go out and learn to play a real guitar if I wanted, since I haven't wasted a MINUTE of my time. Go away, douchebag.
Man, Brass Knuckles Hero would kick so much ass.
ReplyOh, read the comments. Yeah, you're a douchebag, Ross.
ReplyJust kidding. Felt like jumping on the hate-bandwagon. Aaaaanf I'm out.
How the hell could you recognize that as San Antonio? I live here and it just looked like a generic skyline. Couldn't even see the Tower of the Americas. Jeez.
ReplyIt's great to know I'm still remembered. Thanks guys for letting me know I made an impact.
ReplyFirst place I'm playin' Guitar Hero DS? Rock Concert. Why listen to their shitty band when I can play in a portable shitty band?
ReplyTrumpet Hero? Now that's an expensive hat!
ReplyI love you guys.
ReplyI play guitar and also enjoy Guitar Hero and Rock Band. I know several people who are obsessed with Guitar Hero and can't play a note on a real instrument. People like them piss off musicians because they think that they know all about music and try to brag about how great they are.
Replyhey, glendoor42, maybe they do it because, you know, it's FUN?
ReplyDefeats the purpose, but it does open up the possibility of Louis Armstrong's Trumpet Hero..
Replyisn't the point of playing GH pretending to be a rock star and striking poses with the guitar? so the DS version makes you have to hold the game in one hand and the pick in the other making cool poses impossible to stike while playing.
Replyfucking useless game (funny to watch though!)
I think it's hilarious that so many people get worked up about this game. It's a GAME people. Now I'm totally going to have to agree with Ross that playing the DS version of GH is going to make you look like a giant bag of douche. That's just fact right there. However, I just think it's ridiculous that elitist douchebags (like that asshole Nick, I remember reading some of his old posts) are always saying "blah blah blah you suck because you play guitar hero, why dont you go learn real guitar you tool. look what i can do! *plays awesome guitar riff* see? look how cool and better than you i am." I play both guitar and GH and oddly enough, GH helped me train my fingers a little better for guitar. I do both for fun, but ultimately, overall I think the GH franchise is getting a little tired. Rock Band FTW.
ReplyI actually think that portable Guitar Hero is a better idea than normal Guitar Hero. I play guitar and I obviously can't carry it with me in my pocket. This I would be able to.
ReplyI play guitar, and I also play guitar hero. They're fun in entirely different ways. But Guitar Hero makes a good finger workout, because 90% of the time they add a trillion extra notes to a song, actually making it harder than it is to play on a real guitar.

Bingo: my reaction to the last five words you just posted pivots entirely on your gender.
