Tales from the Online World of Gaming
I've become addicted to online play - mainly on Guitar Hero. I've spent the last five and a half hours destroying people on Guitar Hero... and, yeah, I may have been beat a few times... technicalities.
I have some stories about my online play:
I tend to lean towards Expert most of the time. I'm not like one of those people who's too big for his britches. I can handle Expert... except for three songs - Holiday in Cambodia, Helicopter, and of course Through the Fire and Flames. So Anyways, I'm creating matches like nobody's business, and I'm creaming people - mopping the floor with them. Then this one guy comes along. He selects easy... I laugh a little, and then select Expert. So the first song he picks is Through the Fire and Flames. I consider going back to change my selection to medium, but that's when it hit me- If I did that, I'd become everything that I hate in the world - a quitter, a sap, a loser. So I went with Expert and said to myself, "No guts, no glory." Needless to say, I made a fool of myself - but who was the real fool? Someone who actually challenged himself or someone who is a quitter?
So the very next match, I choose Expert, and my opponent chooses Expert. He picks Through the Fire and Flames. I couldn't believe it. It was better though because we both made fools of ourselves.
Note: If there's a song that you hate, and you hear it enough times... you still hate it.
