They all thought I was crazy, they said there were other games out there...but it didn't matter to me. I had no aspirations to roll the universe into a ball, destroy ancient Chinese armies, or hit my opponents in the nads repeatedly with a polearm or pike. My PS2 isn't a game console so much as it is a guitar simulator. When Guitar Hero 2 hits, my friends and I will most likely go missing for several days until our wrists start to deform into immobile claws. For anyone who can't wait until the release date in the NYC area, I hear Red Octane is going to be at the digital life convention (http://digitallife.com/) 10/12-10/15. If you use the source code ZDFRIEND you can sign up for free tickets (http://www.digitallife.com/tickets.html) That's about it. For those about to rock, I salute you. |

First time since i've been reading/listening to fletcher's work that "girlfriend" has been given a name. :P Add me to the list of lemmings who purchased a PS2 purely for GH. I'm glad I did though, cos my pile of PS2 games is now about a dozen high and there are some fantastic games there. band name: Shaggy |

I guess there's a little music left in both of us. As you are, I am also passing the torch to the next gen. They'll be better. Of course, that's the whole idea.... |

They stole the expression from him. Yours for a more pedantic world... :-) |
