Rock Band – or how I was proven wrong
Some months ago, on one of my regular gaming nights, the GM never showed. After sitting around for awhile it was suggested that we play a little Rock Band. To say I was skeptical would be an understatement. However not wanting to be the Grouch in this particular group I decided to take up the drums and see what this whole Rock Band thing was about.
Up until this point my only experience with this kind of game was being woken by druken singing by some ex-flat mate’s and another of my ex-flat mate’s attempts to sing in tune to Singstar. Suffice to say that these off key attempts (if any of said ex-flat mate is reading this, no offence!) didn’t give me warm fuzzy feelings towards the idea of thses games.
Any way as I was saying, I sat down at the drums and while the first couple of songs weren’t overly skillful they certainly were fun. I’m now a little hooked and any chance I get (usually after bugging friends who actually own the game when regular gaming doesn’t quite happen) I pull out those colourful drums and pretend I’m some highly skilled rocker chick. The delusion is half the fun I think.
