Thank god they could spot the weak link in this game (other than the time wasted that you could put into learning an actual instrument).]]>May 15th 2009 2:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/guitar-hero-5-makes-room-for-four-drummers-axe-slingers-or-scre/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/guitar-hero-5-makes-room-for-four-drummers-axe-slingers-or-scre/May 15th 2009 2:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/guitar-hero-5-makes-room-for-four-drummers-axe-slingers-or-scre/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/guitar-hero-5-makes-room-for-four-drummers-axe-slingers-or-scre/

And by the way, are you against playing any video games whatsoever? Time spent playing an FPS is better spent learning how to shoot a real gun. Time spent playing GranTourismo is better spent racing other people on the roads.

So obviously you're against playing any video game right? Otherwise you'd be hypocritical right?]]>May 15th 2009 2:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/guitar-hero-5-makes-room-for-four-drummers-axe-slingers-or-scre/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/guitar-hero-5-makes-room-for-four-drummers-axe-slingers-or-scre/
Well... maybe TV but you need that to play Guitar Hero anyway.]]>May 15th 2009 2:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/guitar-hero-5-makes-room-for-four-drummers-axe-slingers-or-scre/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/guitar-hero-5-makes-room-for-four-drummers-axe-slingers-or-scre/May 15th 2009 2:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/guitar-hero-5-makes-room-for-four-drummers-axe-slingers-or-scre/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/guitar-hero-5-makes-room-for-four-drummers-axe-slingers-or-scre/
CHECKMATE! I am booking my flight for the Ukraine right now so I can build a Vault and live out Fallout 3 the best way I know how. I will go build my lock pick and barter skills for real. I hope I can find the Vampire's Edge there. I may be able to do some Call of Duty 4 since I'll be in the earea. Thank you for making me realize that all video games are inferior to their real life counterparts.

I present this: For the cost of Rock Band, you can probably get a Fender Squire and some shitty amp, play a local art house and find dumb girls to have sex with. In the particular instances of Guitar Hero and Rock Band, I can't understand the cost and space requirements vs actual instruments.]]>May 15th 2009 3:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/guitar-hero-5-makes-room-for-four-drummers-axe-slingers-or-scre/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/guitar-hero-5-makes-room-for-four-drummers-axe-slingers-or-scre/May 15th 2009 3:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/guitar-hero-5-makes-room-for-four-drummers-axe-slingers-or-scre/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/guitar-hero-5-makes-room-for-four-drummers-axe-slingers-or-scre/
Hint: Time spent reading a blog and commenting on its posts could be well spent doing something productive as working, reading, exercising, searching for a partner of the opposite sex, or doing some homework.

Not that I'm against reading Engadget and posting some irrelevant comments.]]>May 15th 2009 3:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/guitar-hero-5-makes-room-for-four-drummers-axe-slingers-or-scre/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/guitar-hero-5-makes-room-for-four-drummers-axe-slingers-or-scre/
It could probably be a great improvement and opportunity for:
Rhythm guitar and Lead guitar
Vocals and backing vocals

Just to name a couple...]]>May 15th 2009 3:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/guitar-hero-5-makes-room-for-four-drummers-axe-slingers-or-scre/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/guitar-hero-5-makes-room-for-four-drummers-axe-slingers-or-scre/
I will provide that rest. I apologize for letting a stock Rock Band argument erupt. I acknowledge that is a new and inventive way to sell peripherals and expand to previously unreached demographics. It is an excellent product that people enjoy.

Let's enjoy our Friday and I promise to never speak ill of Rock Band or similar ilk ever again.]]>May 15th 2009 3:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/guitar-hero-5-makes-room-for-four-drummers-axe-slingers-or-scre/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/guitar-hero-5-makes-room-for-four-drummers-axe-slingers-or-scre/
Should we all stop listening to music until we all learn to play a musical instrument? These games are just a fun way of interacting with our music.

Your argument (go learn an instrument, blah, blah, blah, I can play multiple blah, blah, blah instruments) is short sighted, especially if you really want people to learn how to play an instrument. The guitar stores around here have finally realized that games like Rockband and Guitar Hero don't take away sales, they can potentially lead to more sales of musical instruments. You know some of these kids might actually get interested in music because of being exposed to this game.

That has to be the most worn-out argument ever. I can't believe anybody's still using it. Maybe you should upgrade to the latest version :P

But seriously, you're like the world's biggest downer, the most un-fun person ever. People just want to have fun playing these rock video games and here you are, telling them that fun is STRICTLY VERBOTEN! You're so uptight and smug with your "I can play a REAL instrument while all you guys are just posers" rant. Go sit in the corner far away while the rest of us have fun.

And congratulations on winning Most Obvious Statement Ever with your entry "playing guitar is nothing like Rock Band". Glad you clarified that! I was just about to go out and buy a real guitar and ALMOST got a fake plastic one instead, thanks for the heads-up! :)]]>May 15th 2009 3:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/guitar-hero-5-makes-room-for-four-drummers-axe-slingers-or-scre/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/guitar-hero-5-makes-room-for-four-drummers-axe-slingers-or-scre/
He's not making the argument you think he's making. He's refuting it.]]>May 15th 2009 3:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/guitar-hero-5-makes-room-for-four-drummers-axe-slingers-or-scre/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/guitar-hero-5-makes-room-for-four-drummers-axe-slingers-or-scre/
Reading comprehension is your friend.]]>May 15th 2009 4:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/guitar-hero-5-makes-room-for-four-drummers-axe-slingers-or-scre/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/guitar-hero-5-makes-room-for-four-drummers-axe-slingers-or-scre/I don't know if Chad meant it or not, but his comment is good and funny.

Ash commented about the old line: Any time spent playing Guitar Rock Band Hero could be spent learning to play an actual instrument.
Chad retorted: Time spent on anything but playing an actual instrument is time that could be spent learning to play an actual instrument.

He didn't say you *SHOULD* learn to play real instruments, just that the argument itself is moot. Any time a coin flip doesn't land heads, it lands tails.
