I'm better than Slash

Some video games are cool, while some go beyond cool, reaching a level that makes me want to blog about them. This is one of those games. Guitar Hero III for the Wii. I know Guitar Hero has been out for a long time, but it's only recently become available on the Wii (our gaming system of choice), so naturally Eric had to hunt for it like a mad man until he finally found one (actually 2, he bought an additional one to sell online) at a Circuit City in Brighton, MI (30 mins from Ann Arbor). A Christmas miracle, indeed! We weren't about to wait for Christmas to open this bad boy, oh no. We played for several hours over the weekend and actually completed a solo career in the "Easy" mode. Eric has already moved up to the "Medium" level, and while I attempted to play a song on Medium, I found that my little pinky just can't handle it right now. It's going to take some practice. But I was able to defeat the one and only Slash in a battle of guitar greatness, so I'm making some progress. We will be bringing the Wii and this game down with us to Fayetteville, so I hope you all can come over to the parents house and give it a try!
