Guitar Heroism

[kungfutofu]

Me: I beat Satan last night.
LH: Wow! *bland
Me: I mean I beat Satan in Guitar Hero. He goes by the name Lou there.
LH: Okay. So there’s no more evil in the world now that you’ve beat Satan.
Me: ... *tumbleweed rolled past the field

My first Guitar Hero experience happened at Mei’s house. After a few rounds and finally got a passable grip on the game, James with a devilish twinkle in his eyes said, “You gotta try this song.” It was Dragon Force, “Through the fire and the flames.” It was an absolutely WTF experience for me. Watch the video to get an idea what I was up against:

Okay, the one in the video is like on a much tougher level. I was a newbie playing on easy level. I thought to myself, man, it’s next to impossible to beat the game even on easy. But seeing James & Mei’s plastic-guitar-button-mashing enthusiasm trying to beat the level it kinda rubs off on me too... finally two days ago I beat the game on easy! Now I’m gonna work on medium level... RAWR!!!
