Guitar Hero On Nintendo DS, It Still Sucks: Feel My Loserness
July 1st, 2008 in Video Gaming News. No Comments Yet
“Guitar Hero” isn’t selling music, it’s selling fantasy. By placing a plastic guitar in your hand and offering a set list of rock anthems, “Guitar Hero” temporarily transforms you into a stage-commanding idol.
This affordable make-believe has caught fire on almost every console imaginable, and now Activision hopes it can turn the Nintendo DS into a vessel for rock n’ roll dreams. But without the actual guitar as a conduit, “Guitar Hero: On Tour” is the equivalent of a cover band.
In lieu of the guitar controller, “Guitar Hero: On Tour” ships with a four-button grip that snaps into the Game Boy Advance cartridge slot on the bottom half of the DS. You cup your hand under the DS, slip your palm through a strap and then press the colored buttons in a similar fashion to the frets at the top of a guitar. While pressing colored buttons that correspond to on-screen notes, you “strum” the bottom screen of the DS with a guitar-pick-like stylus that also comes in the box. To use the whammy bar, just rub back and forth while still touching the screen. To utilize star power, a score multiplier earned by hitting perfect riffs, you must make noise into the DS microphone.
-from MSNBC
You must make noise into the DS microphone? What kind of noises? The wailing screams of an angst ridden socially awkward teen?
It’s more like Guitar Hero transforms you into a stage commanding moron. Like a clown who performs and breaks things over his head.
Despite Nintendo’s frail attempt to cash on the millions of gamers who suck at real guitar but love to impress a computer audience by playing a guitar with only 4 notes, gamers just don’t like the feel of Guitar Hero on Nintendo DS.
“When I’m playing it on DS, I just feel that I can’t rock out hard enough like when I hold the fake plastic guitar in my hands”, said gamer Tony Button.
“Yeah, it’s like, when I am not practicing my real guitar and playing Nickelback and other awesome music, I always feel like I might break my DS when I am rocking out and frothing at the cheeto stained mouth.”
Maybe if all the game companies make this game suck enough, people will actually start to learn to play a real guitar.

August 3rd, 2008 in Commentary. No Comments YetAre you not sure how to do something? Well, here are a couple of helpful thoughts from Wikihow.com
How To Be Nice To Your Pets
Groom your dog or cat a lot. Cats and dogs love to be groomed. And scratched. But if they do not like it, don’t do it; that will just make them hate you.
Your tone of voice has a lot to do with how your pet will react. Saying “I love you, you’re the best pet in the world!” in a tone that implies you hate it won’t exactly convey your message.
Sometimes the most anxious kitten is also the smartest, and will turn into the best cat.
How To Stop Your Cat From Running Away
Put butter on the cat’s paws right before letting it go outside for the first time. It will pick up soil from around your new home and ingest it as it is cleaning itself. This may help to imprint the new place as home.
How To Take A Navy Shower
This article will explain how to take a shower that wastes less water and takes very little time. The navy shower was developed by… you guessed it! The Navy! It’s used because supplies of fresh water on ships is very limited. 2 MIN SHOWER
* Turn the water on, dont worry about the temp you don’t have time any way.
* step through water to get slightly wet, and move for the next person.
* soap up your hair and body with a liquid body wash (that smells horrible).
* stand in line and wait for your second turn under the water.
* again walk under water you are down to 30 sec so I hope you didn’t use to much soap.
* Conditioner? Shaving? YEAH RIGHT! GET OUT!
