Secret Talent

You wouldn’t know it by looking at me, but I play a mean air guitar. I’ve been complimented on my skill, so I know. Never mind that my left hand on the frets goes out to make a higher note instead of sliding in. It’s air guitar. I take liberties in the moment. Don’t remind me because I don’t care. Had it been a real guitar, you would have a point, but my wild hip gyrations and hair swinging count for everything. My intensity makes up for what I lack in actual guitar playing ability.

The boys and I play Guitar Hero. A little different from air guitar in that you are actually holding a (kind of) guitar with colored buttons you push on cue. And yes, I rule. Because I don’t actually have to slide my hand in the right direction. I just have to push the red and the yellow button quickly. All my years of Super Mario and Mario Kart are finally coming in to play. Thank god I spent so much time on them a few years ago because now? There is Guitar Hero 2. And what does it include? A hidden song by my much beloved Strong Bad, Trogdor. He is the burninator, after all. I know what I hope Santa brings me this year. Oh, and a second guitar, because I’m so tired of sharing mine with the boys. (ahem)

Oh yes, you MUST get Guitar Hero II. We’ve done nothing but play that game since it came out. My nine year old is pretty amazing at it. See!

And technically you don’t need the new controller, you can just get the game alone. The old controller works fine. But the co-op play is WAY, WAY fun, so yes, you need the second guitar!

And Trogdor isn’t really all that hidden. Complete a couple of songs on “medium” and then you can “buy” the song. Awesome-ness.
