My Feet Smell.
JVB | 8:59 PM on 06.22.2007 4 comments


Yeah, thats right, they stink. But, that is not stopping me from busting out some tunes on my Xbox 360.

I just picked up Guitar Hero 2. A game that I had no intentions of getting, until I went to Best Buy. There, I saw this dorky dude, with no rhythm whats so ever, pounding on this toy guitar. I stood there watching in awe, as homeboy tried syncing his keynotes with the colored circles. When he finished I had to give it a shot, bad move.

I kept playing "Surrender" made famous by Cheap Trick.......I never liked that sound, until now, it stays in my head, at the most in-opportune times, anyway, back to the story at hand; GH2.

After grooving with my virtual reality band: Drums Of The Tigers, I decided to make this game a part of my gaming library. What a choice, wow, it flocking rocks.

The main reason why I'm writing this? I don't know. Maybe the impact of such a game, one that forces you to interact with what is going on, on the screen, is pretty huge, for me anyway. My wife cannot stop playing it, and that is a huge accomplishment for a game with such a dorky title. Halo 2, Ghost Recon, Splinter cell or Rainbpow 6; none of them have managed to get the "wifey" to play so much.

I also would like to say, that the blog beta is a pretty sweet idea. I'm sure a lot of talented writers will surface because of it.

... so you only play those video games that are actually just old teenage mutant ninja turtles movies?
oh wait even those require you to hit play.


I find it funny that you got it because of a retard playing it...

cjpkiller: Thanks for taking the time to read my blog. Your point about hitting play during a Ninja Turtle game is understandable. But I can't physically swing my swords towards the screen, ya see?

Like I said, a retard (Figure of speech) got me curious about GH 2 during a visit to Best Buy. If he was willing to groove (attempt to anyway) like that in public, then it had to be worth a look. Once I got into it I had to buy it.

Congrats on the purchase. Just wait til you're a full-blown addict, willing to shell out any amount for whatever peripheral they toss your way.

I need help...
