Worry about yourself and let others do the same.

Who's really whining?
I said:
Quote:
I just read an article about how Activision totally screws the people who record the songs for Guitar Hero. Supposedly they get a mere $300 per song, done deal. No residual income for games sold or anything like that.
For this reason, and for the fact that this game may dissuade a million or more potential creative class individuals from ever picking up a real guitar and actually giving this world something of value, I will not support Guitar Hero, and neither should you.
if passing on some insightful information and stating an opinion about it sounds like nothing more than whining to you, well then I guess there is no point in arguing

Probably the guy who needlessly comes into a thread who knowingly comes into a thread discussing something he doesn't like and bitches rather than just ignoring the thread.

Let's be perfectly clear here: I've played the game. It's fun. I never said it wasn't. Where did you get that impression?
This thread is about another game trumping guitar hero. If anything, I was right in line with that topic. I wasn't dissing Rock Band. I was saying Activision (makers of Guitar Hero) are scumbags.
You, my friend, are retarded.

Hahhaa. Everyone I know or talk to has a blast with these games. This guy's just way to cool to have fun with a video game. Oh well, I don't have to hang out with the guy *shrug*.

i just returned GH3, it was fun but not worth 110 dollars
i went and picked up Oblivion and Prey for 360 instead (and had 60 bucks left)
they are fun, but in the end a waste of time and money IMO (this thread turned into a whole bitchfest too)

god you guys are a bunch of fags.
I took rock band to my cousin's house... we had a ton of people over cuz holidays are when everyone comes back to our hometown so all our friends come out too. trust me after a couple 30 packs get passed around, this game is fuckin fun. we had all four things going... guitar, bass, drums, singer. it's a pretty rad
does it compare to real instruments? no. MAYBE, possibly, the drums would somewhat teach someone how to play the real thing.
Do i care? No. Because I've played drums since 6th grade and the guitar for 10 years. at the end of the day I can still pick up an axe or a pair of sticks and do the real thing...
how many of you here play those fucking retarded RPGs? That's fucking gayer than elton john in a sausage factory.
It's a matter of opinion. even in the game itself in the little message between songs it encourages you to pick up real instruments.
The element of the game is ANYone can be a rockstar. Which means at a party even the people with no real world skills can play on "easy" and have fun.
I've also found playing guitar hero is a great warm up to playing the real guitar.
in other news the guitar that comes with the 360 version sucks fucking ass and apparently a lot of people are having this problem. oh well, at least the GH guitars are compatible.

I don't think it is a big word, just too big for you.
Maybe you should check the examples:
<pretentious language> <pretentious houses>
See, you using the word 'pretentious' is pretentious in itself.
Someone mocking your hobby is not pretentious.
