So I was watching one of my favorite TV shows....still, South Park. And the whole show was about the somewhat video game somewhat virtual game, Guitar Hero. Two of the main characters and kids, Stan and Kyle, played the game so much that they got caught in the rock star life, and the two separate. At this point the game is lost, but at the same time it is still making fun of the game, as we all want to be rock stars so we like to play it through a video game.
I have never played Guitar Hero, and I feel like I am missing out. My sister, who is 24, never plays video games and has played it before, but she also called it Guitar Heroes, what a loser right! But I think everyone wants to be a rock star so they play colored buttons at the top of a plastic guitar in which they then rock out on a stage. I love rock, and I think it's a good step to see people playing the guitar, except for the fact that it's not an actual guitar. It all seems to be a little fun, but a little ridiculous.
At the end of the South Park episode Stan and Kyle reunite to get up to the 1 million point level on the game they are playing. Then everyone gathers around and watches them do it, and when they do the game says!....Congratulations! You are.....fags. Now I realize that is a little harsh, but it is South Park, and it is funny in that it sends a message, if you want to play the guitar, play an actual damn guitar.
