Have you ever been influenced to buy a game (or other item) from watching a TV Show, or hearing about it on the radio? I have, and in my honest opinion, that doesn't have to be a bad thing, especially if it doesn't cost you an arm and a leg.
That Guitar Hero 2 Controller for 360 and copy of Guitar Hero 3 for PC are prime examples of this. I recently watched the Season 11 Episode of South Park, titled "Guitar Queer-O", and as it's title suggests, it deals with the game Guitar Hero. After watching the whole episode (twice actually, it was really good), I went out to the local Goodwill Store to find the game, as I often see Guitar Controllers and Guitar Hero Games in stock there. (GameStop doesn't appear to sell them anymore). Upon tracking down a boxed 360 Controller for 3 Dollars, I opened it up, and the controller was there (minus the break-away end of the cable, but I already had plenty of them), but the game was nowhere to be found. I put the box in my cart, and proceeded to check the shelf of DVDs and Games for the game, but it wasn't there either. However, I did find the PC Version of Guitar Hero 3, also for 3 Dollars, so I grabbed that instead. I bought them, and rushed home, to have my new habit begin.
Granted, GH3 is not DDR, what with all the catchy J-Pop Music, and probably never will be, but dang, is it fun to play. As of this writing, I can't play worth a crap on anything higher than Easy, but I'm not out to break a World Record or anything. I'm just playing to have fun.
The point here is this: Even if your not very good at a game, if you enjoy it, you should still play. While taking a break from it last night, I talked to one person who said playing it "makes you look like an idiot". My response to this was "So what?". I've come close to breaking bones playing DDR, and I'm pretty sure I looked pretty stupid when I fell down, but I didn't care. It's best to just laugh these kinds of things off. Does playing Guitar Hero make you look a little weird? Maybe. Should you care? Absolutely not. My name is Redd, I am a Guitar Zero, and dang proud of it.
