I wish the people who spend all that time perfecting Guitar Hero would pick up a real guitar.   

It seems music gets worse directly proportional to time unless drugs affect the outcome (ex: 60s and 70s).

I have a guitar of my own, thank you very much. And, the friends who introduced it to me are mostly all musicians who spend a good amount of time perfecting their craft. I believe, however, that there are people out there who spend a great deal of time just playing the game, though. I do think that, like the Wii (which I saw in action for the first time the other day), that it's actually good for the mind- it's not just about killing people or getting to the next level (I think of the old days, when Super Mario Brothers was the big thing with Nintendo...I could spend mindless hours in front of that one).
