Maybe it's because I'm pretty tired, but I thought it was funny. Check out the second bullet under "Story Highlights" at the top.

Some people need to get lives

Guitar hero got ridiculous and after playing it twice, i refuse to play it anymore. People who spend "20 hours" a week on video games must have no social skills.

20 hours is quite a bit, but im sure it's pretty common.  It's less than 3 hours a day, im sure there are kids that play 30-40 hours a week.

If you spent hours every day actually playing an instrument, that would be a lot more productive, in my opinion at least.

Not gonna lie, I play video games, especially guitar hero and rock band, a lot. It really irritates me when people get all pissed off that other people enjoy video games. They're fun for some people. You don't think its weird going skiing 30+ times a year do you? A lot of people think thats excessive and a waste of money. Stop being a douche and let people enjoy what they want to.

Its obvious you play video games a lot because of your lack of social skills.

I know. I don't have any friends. When in public I don't talk and completely screw up every situation I'm in.

Ya I have no social skils, so I play video games.  and cut myself.  And cut myself whilst playing video games.  Especially while playing with friends, that are meant to be played as a group, such as rock band.  Because it's fun to play rock band with people.

I love getting into arguements with guitar hero dudes and rock band dudes. I play guitar and bass, but anways it just cracks me up when I hear about how far or how good they got on a song..I really hate that game
