South Park Has An Unnatural Effect On My Life

I am currently addicted to Guitar Hero. There I said it, and now it’s off my chest.

I should probably explain more, including the title. Basically, in the past year or so, I’ve jumped onto two different fads, both of which long after they started, and both of which that were highlighted on episodes of South Park. First of all, I play WoW. Now before I get flamed, I’d like to point out that it’s the online version. I’ve picked up a bit of the card game, played a couple games, but like HaloClix and UFS, and basically every game that the group tries out, it didn’t really go anywhere. However, friends that I had been playing the table top RPG version of WoW with got me to try out a character on their server, and so I started it up. I’ve been working on my Undead Priest on and off for a while now, and when they made it easier to level up I started getting a bit more into it. When the goal of “getting my mount” came out, I was definitely a bit more motivated. Now that I have my horse, I can get to places a bit faster, and with nearly a whole continent opened up for flight paths, I can hop around to different level appropriate areas without having to worry about wasting time, or avoiding ?? level threats.

With Guitar Hero, it was extremely recent. A friend of mine that I am able to get to play just about anything I am playing, such as Raw Deal and Vs., I just need to drive and supply the cards, etc … has Guitar Hero III. I had stopped at his place to do some playtesting for the Build a Legend event, and I ended up trying it out a bit and getting hooked. We went out and bought the dual pack for I and II, and so I’ve been systematically going through the game to unlock stuff. So far I have all the easy songs on GH II five starred and I’m working through the completed Medium mode to get the 5 star on all songs guitar unlocked there.
