They Don’t Really Want You to Play Freebird

…they’re just heckling you.

Ok, so I’m delaying finishing off my quizbowl post because something more pressing has come up.

For years, Mom has refused to allow us to get a gaming console; she always said we spend too much time in front of monitors as it is. Of course, it’s not until my 18th birthday that I figure out how to get around this: have friends come over with all of the original games.

Guy brought DDR and Karaoke Revolution as well as his PS2 to my party, and we amused ourselves for long periods of time. And apparently while I was out of town, Austin and Aaron used this to convince Mom to get us a PS2.

This is big news—like I said, I’ve been trying to get some sort of console into the house for a long time.

Anyway, if you didn’t guess from the beginning of the post, we got our first game today: Guitar Hero. And it’s awesome.

We probably wasted 5 or 6 hours today playing. We only have one guitar controller right now, but you can use a standard PS2 controller as well, and I’ve gotten rather good at it. It’s a bit disorienting at first, especially if you’re coming off using the guitar, but still fun.

Yeah. So that’s basically it, but it also makes two posts in one day (within 5 minutes of each other, for that matter).
