The Lamer Gamer

Why the fuck does this make CNN?  I realize the irony of posting about this when I myself find it to be so lacking in newsworthiness, but I can’t help it.  Some kid breaks record for points scored playing Guitar Hero, and somehow, the kid actually thinks THIS is important.  I believe in his own words the lad said he didn’t really think that he would ever break a record for something that mattered.  Um, kid… You still haven’t.

Granted most popular records aren’t meaningful in any broad sense, but this one is pretty low on mass appeal, somewhere below most hot dogs eaten but above longest fart.

Looks like The Boss is releasing some new and old tracks together, and free for a limited time for Guitar Hero. It’s the classic “Born to Run” and “My Lucky Day” from his upcoming album.  So grab it between January 27 to February 4.

I really wish more bands would release free tracks.  I have a lot of trouble considering the purchase of extra songs for GH or RB when the cost is equal to that of buying the track or CD all over again, except I don’t get any other use rights, so I can’t listen to it outside of the game for instance.  Someone should promote that, “Buy our CD, get access to the songs in GH or RB”.

Looks like this one is only for GH World Tour, oh well.  One of these days I’m going to have to get the whole band kit.
