Screaming Bean |

Because I find my job rather stressful, and by stressful I mean stress I bring upon myself, I want to relax when I get home. Take a load off...let the mind shut down. So what did I do New Years weekend? Buy a PS2. Now I realize that this is old technology...but I really don't need a $600 PS3 (even if I could get one), and the Wii is nearly impossible to get. I needed instant cheap satisfaction. So we bought a PS2 and Guitar Hero II. For those of you who have never played this game, it is instantly addictive. I say this because I became instantly addicted at Circuit City. Of course it helps if you're good at it. Once I figured out that you had to strum and push the buttons, I was good to go. It's actually a bigger time waster than Elder Scrolls IV, and that's saying something. And now I have a mission. At Circuit City all the songs were available, which isn't the case when you first play the game...so now I'm trying to unlock enough songs to get a hold of YYZ for my spouse. Me, I'm happy with Foo Fighters and The Police, but we do need the Rush song to be complete. So as I drag my cramped hand and wrist to work, I can say I did it for something bigger than myself...it was for Guitar Hero.
