And yet, I've managed to have a satisfying amount of sex with several different girls of respectable hotness. This would have been impossible without guitar.
There's really not a lot else that would have got me in bed with them. I'm in acceptable physical condition, but I'm not a muscle guy. I'm thin, have a large head, and talk too much about crap no one cares about. Without guitar, I would be pussy repellent. With guitar, I can gain access to the forbidden delights of women.
This is simply not true. It takes at least 2 years to get anywhere near good at guitar. It takes a few months to become a good Guitar Hero player.
I completely agree. I just made that comment because as you said earlier, any one can play Dragon Force, but only a hand full of people can play it on GH.
As for me, Guitar Hero pushed my desire to play the guitar. So I started playing. I've only been playing since christmas though.
Plus, Guitar Hero actually got me laid on one occasion.

Usually the premise is you write some form of AI that you put against some other players' AI; in core wars you're trying to write a better virus than the other guy; in robo wars there's a combat focus. Some of them involve animals that must seek food, find mates, etc.
