Random crap

British satire about i-bankers. Worth watching:



Finally, someone takes my feelings on Guitar Hero seriously. Why spent so much time learning to push buttons when you could easily learn to really play guitar in the same amount of time?

Why East Coast VCs are notably missing from the Midas list.

Who has money to throw around in the tech industry.

Rock Band

More Guitar Hero and Rock Band douchebaggery. I still don't get this game. It sounds kind of fun but I can't imagine it would be that much more difficult to actually learn to play the instrument than to pretend learn to hit buttons in a video game.

Give me 20 hours a week of practice and I'll be a virtuoso on any instrument within a month.

Guitar Hero

Guitar Hero - everyone loves it, but I just don't get it. On today's Wallstrip Lindsay asks a good question - "Why not just learn to play the real guitar?" I already know how to play guitar and while I might be a decade or so out of practice I think that playing Guitar Hero would just confuse my real guitar playing.

Are there any people out there who know how to play the real guitar who also play guitar hero? Doesn't it seem a bit silly if you can actually play the instrument to play a video game where you push buttons?

Feedback or comments would be greatly appreciated.

Here is the Wallstrip in question:



And here is a text message I got from a friend/coworker who is really into Guitar Hero last night: "going to be laate. Drunkar sis weddimg"
