Last night, because we didn’t see enough of each other at the Fair on Thursday, the Sisterclub gathered at Sister #3’s house for a little round robin Guitar Hero.
None of us really know what a round robin tournament is but that’s what we call our game. Basically, two people play and the winner gets to keep playing until they are beaten by the challenger. The challenger always gets to choose the song.
Most all the time I get to play one time in a row, because I am the suckiest player. I also, must add, that I am the only player who does not have Guitar Hero in their home. So you be the judge.
However, last night not only did I beat Stink (he and Sister #3 are the toughest to beat) at Wolfmother’s “Woman” (aka my song), I also beat Sister #2. The rock and roll is in my veins.
After my brief winning streak, I sat down on the couch to wait my turn. Liam climbed up to sit on my lap, sippy cup in hand. He snuggled in and turned to the TV where Jaycie and Nolan were playing Motley Crue’s “Shout at the Devil.”
Everyone was momentarily silent while we watched the kids play. And then from my lap came the sound of Liam singing. “Shout, shout, shout, shout at the devil.”
Motley Crue never sounded so absolutely adorable.
While it was one of the cutest things I’ve ever been witness to, I told Sister #3 that it was probably time for us to stop playing so much Guitar Hero.
My friend came up in honor of my 37th b’day (First b’day w/out any parent sucks, by the way) and he brought Guitar Hero, GH2 and GH 80’s.
You can play using the regular PS2 controller, which I find immensely easier than the Guitar shaped controller, and it allows you to play in a semi-fetal position, the position I cringe into when I shank a note immediately after activating star power, turning my 8x multiplier into a measley 2x. I am not teh boobiez, I am the suxxor.
Does the controller have a whammy bar? I don’t know, I think half the fun of GH is standing in front of the TV with my rock and roll pose on, strutting around, and rocking the whammy bar.
I don’t think I could properly execute my choreography to Avenged Sevenfold’s “Beast and the Harlot” if I were curled up in the fetal position.
