I live in Northern California. You know, that place full of Berkely and Berkinstocks and Hemp and Hippies and Pichuli Oil and more dirty Hippies. As a matter of fact, I graduated from high school in a town that was run by the Green Party. There are only three other towns run by the Green Party.
I live in a really liberal area, and the publications lean the same way. One, The Bohemian, is a free publication that I pick up at the gym to pass the time on the elliptical machine. Imagine my surprise when I look at the cover, and it's an enormous piece on Guitar Hero, or excuse me, Guitar Anti-Hero.
Inside is a 3000 word feature piece on how Guitar Hero is evil and the poor voice artists are getting ripped off. It's long, dry, and pretentious.
Here are some faults I found myself:
-Harmonix is never mentioned
-80's Edition is never mentioned
-The fact that most of the songs in GHIII are master tracks are never mentioned.
Jeeze, this whole piece is irritating, as they are trying to make a good point, that the non-unionized voice artists are getting ripped off, and instead they come off as liberal dickweeds. Also, this publications is more notable for local industries (wine, food, asshatness), and while the videogame industry is in nearby San Francisco, I see no reason for them to really have written this.
I seriously believe the writer had a friend who got screwed out of a bunch of cash with GH, and this is his bitch piece.
Take a look:
The Bohemian: Guitar Anti-Hero
You lived in a town that was run by the Green Party? Is it as awesome as it sounds?
But the trees are nice.
San Francisco is gorgeous btw
That's a good idea : screw the people who put 40 million up front on a game and might not make it back. Instead reward people who took real risk by spending a day in a studio.
