Guitar Hero

Other than his time, Phil also donated his copy of Guitar Hero to the Quirk cause. He no longer needed it so wanted to find it a good home. Based on early results, it will be a much loved part of the family!

The girls were doing OK with it, pretty much using it on the easiest level and having a good time. Fiona struggles with the guitar but does OK on the drums. Naomi was doing quite well on both. Mindy and I also had a few goes and then bumped up the difficulty to the second easiest level…man, quite a jump for us! I think we will be at that level for quite a while, perhaps forever! Both of us were doing OK and in a rhythm, then, just to mess you up, they would send down a “Blue” note to hit and even though you know it is coming, for some reason it would mess me up. The girls tried to made us promise to not play it when they were in bed. We of course promised no such thing but we did wait until they were asleep so that they could not hear the action.

Just to let us know what we can aspire to, I searched on youtube and found some clips of people doing INSANE things with the game. Things like playing “Beat It” on expert mode and scoring 100% - ridiculous! Then I thought about it a little more and I am not sure if I WANT to get that good at Guitar Hero…kind of would be a waste of my life if that was what I managed to achieve I guess. Still, will be playing it on our easy levels quite a bit and who knows, maybe one day we will improve.
