Is there really a post in GD flaming someone for enjoying a video game?

[Nickster]

Sometimes I just shake my head when I read stuff like that. Really?!

[Gormy Cuss]

1. Oh, go over to LBN.

There was a flame war over a posting about Henry VIII.






edit: it's in the Blair conversion to Catholicism thread

[Nickster]

2. Ok, now that's at least funny. LoL. Off to find that posting now!

[fizzgig]

3. i have been over there yet this morning

but i'm sure there is

does it have anything to to do with gta?

[alarimer]

4. Yes there is

About how Guitar Hero is not real music (of course it isn't; it's a game) and the music snobs are saying it's crap and will destroy civilization as we know it. etc., etc. All over a game.

[Beausoir]

5. Yes. Yes there is. LOL.

6. That thread needs more cowbell hero

fucking brilliant take on the game, if you ask me. I can play guitar, but have no ill will to those who play the 'hero' version. :shrug:

7. At least now I know I'm safe...

One son is getting Guitar Hero AND a real guitar. Other is getting a keyboard. Both already play instruments, they like to write their own music, and I found them composing the Simpson's theme so they could play it together. The kids are gonna be alright!

(They are 10 and 12.)

8. They can have my Guitar Hero when they pry it from my cold dead hands!

I've got all of them for PS2, and they're all a blast. Those people that bitch about it not being a real guitar are totally missing the point, which is having fun. I guess they think we should try to get on a real NFL team instead of playing Madden too.

10. or pick up a REAL pack of cards instead of playing

computer solitaire. :D

Fun & Games. It's all they are.

Doesn't have to have some deep learning experience behind it!

[Akoto]

9. Yes, and as someone who has participated in game design ...

I just kind of stare and shake my head. I must fall somewhere between Olive Garden and Hitler on their list of things to hate.

[DarkTirade]

11. I tend to poke fun at people who play games like that...

but there's a big difference between friendly teasing and claiming that they will destroy the entire music industry.

Besides... I think the record companies are doing a fine job of it without the help of the game industry. :P

[Nickster]

12. Funny thing is that I've actually discovered music that I would have never listened to before. I've

bought more music after hearing it off of Guitar Hero than I have off of hearing it on the radio lately.

[DarkTirade]

13. That's because the radio tends to play only the crappy stuff that they want people to buy

instead of the actual good music that will make people want to buy.

[distantearlywarning]

16. Me too.

I discovered this gem the other day, and bought it from ITunes immediately thereafter. Without Guitar Hero, I would have had no idea that this band existed, and that would be a really sad thing. It's certainly nothing you would ever hear on Clear Channel corporate hell.

14. I must have missed it while reading the posts saying that men and WOMEN

Who drive or modify muscle cars are compensating for their insecurity about their penis size.


I don't know why I still come here. It's like I'm addicted to reading things that make me hate humanity.

[DarkTirade]

15. I guess that means that since I drive a small, fuel-efficient japanese car

I must be trying to compensate for a penis that's too big? :P
