Guitar Hero: This Rocks!

Guitar Hero is a classic mindless way to escape reality at my house. I admit, I'm really not that good at the game. I still play on the easiest level. But that doesn't mean I don't pick up my guitar-shaped controller and pretend to be a rock star every now and then.

Now, the makers of the game are betting there are a few people who will enjoy the escape at the office too. They've released a widgetized version of Guitar Hero. You can play several different songs using the numbers on your keyboard as frets and the enter/return key to strum. It's actually pretty hard to play. But if the boss isn't looking, it's a fun distraction.

Wanna try it?

Also, today I discovered that if you get the boss addicted you can play this at work whenever you want.

I enjoy Guitar Hero but seldom have time to play.

I interviewed the best Guitar Hero player in the world at AFI Dallas this past April.

I'll post the link soon and man, you have to see this guy!
