Bit of everything really
I have a bad back, bad knees, a dodgy foot, terrible short term memory, poor organisational skills, I'm rubbish at confrontations of any kind, I'm too nice, and I don't give a shit about things I should do.

Alt Q: Booze.

Also, this describes perfectly how I feel about those who look down on Guitar Hero "because you're not really playing". It's a game, you dimwitted fucks.

I am one of those cunts I'm afraid
as a *ahem, real musician* I snub these games and play Monkey Island 2 on my phone til someone puts a real game on. Halo Reach is awesome btw. A bit cheesy but good bloody fun.

I'm with you
especially on the MI2 front. So pleased they made those special editions

it looks very pretty. I'm also super impressed with the SPvTW comics on the phone.
They look and interact fantastically.

Thing for me, it's just another game (GH I mean, not H:R)
So I have no more problem playing it, than I do murdering people - using petrol and matches, before pissing on their burning corpses - in another game I really enjoy.

I think secretly I'm afraid I will be shit at the pretend drums
and look foolish. I would rather bring my kit in from the garage and set it up in the lounge whilst they hammer the plastic.

It's very odd trying to play along with the flashing lights on the screen ...
... when they don't do at all what you know you should be doing.

I found stopping my kick foot just about impossible for example - you almost have not to listen, lest you join in. Nul points for Brian that night ... !

I'm exactly the same
You know what you should be playing and the computer disagrees. It's insulting to be honest. I might write a strongly worded letter on behalf of drummers around the world. awaits strikethrough

it is just a game
but not one that I find particularly enjoyable, because on some of the songs, actually being able to play the guitar is a hindrance, because it's not like playing the guitar.

I don't want everyone who plays it to play the guitar, because that would water down the impact of me being able to play the guitar.

By way of rebuttal to that (slightly smug) cartoon
The offence kicks in at times when, for example, a friend asked me what I'd been up to the previous evening.
"Well, I tried learning [name of song]. Almost got the hang of it now," replied I,
"Oh, I didn't know you had Guitar Hero," she replied.
I didn't. I was trying to learn to play it on a real fucking guitar, which is a hell of a lot more satisfying.

Oh no, I don't debate that at all, I do bow to your superior skill
But those who lord it up, and look down on those of us who enjoy the game, can just fuck the fuck off.

Computer games are for socially inadequate acne-faced teenagers,
and benders.


There, I've said it.

Oh yeah, well secret girlfriends are for massive homosexuals. There, I've said it.

If you get the chance, I've got a game for you
This is the game I described above

It's genius.

I really, really hate computer games. Sorry.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 17 Sep 2010, 14:02, Reply)

Fair enough
I just thought that one may amuse you, as during the game you get to use cats as silencers, make people vomit, make people vomit blood (then die), piss on people, knock peoples heads off with spades, kill terrorists, kill Gary Coleman, etc, etc.

Oh, and pour petrol on people, before setting them on fire.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Fri 17 Sep 2010, 14:10, Reply)

I prefer to do those things for real.

The noise the cat makes when it's stuck on the machine gun is magnificent.
