misterxI think I may have posted that I bought Guitar Hero III for the Wii. If I didn't post that, now I have. Anyway, that's all the background info you need.
I beat Guitar Hero on Easy, and then moved to Medium. Medium wasn't so medium for me. Medium was more like Argh, Shit! But I've been working on it a little here and there, and I've gotten to where I can survive the easier songs with about 85% success. I am obviously not bragging here, it's a complete waste of time. It's also kind of fun. :)
Well, I was having a beer this eve, and discovered that it relaxed the old brain just enough that it made me a better player. I was doing actually pretty well for a bit there.
Then I crested the top of the bell curve.
I found myself trying to play "The Number of the Beast" by Iron Maiden, trying to make my fingers do the right thing, and I found it quite disconcerting. It's one thing to try and play a song and miss the notes or the timing. But when you are LOOKING RIGHT AT YOUR HAND, willing it to play certain notes, and instead it's twisting and jerking and shuffling around like a tazed fiddler crab, disobeying you like it wasn't even bloody connected... well, that's just plain spooky. I half expected the damn thing to go for my throat.
Of course, if it had, no problem. I've seen Evil Dead 2. I know what to do.
