this sickens me....

When I was in high school I saw a lot of kids dropping out because, "I'm a thug, I'm a be out on the streets hustlin'!". This kids goals are about on par with that. What a hemipene.

To me, this is just another sign of the decline of intelligence in the world. Technology is taking over and kids are turning to TVs and video games instead of books or using their imaginations...

Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that technology is a bad thing. I'm just as dependent on technology as the next person. The responsibility for things like this lies with the parents who didn't make the time to raise their kids the way we were raised.

It makes me think of the movie Idiocracy... Anyone else?

Awesome, yet sadly frighteningly possible, movie. Everyone should watch it!

and the money people spend. i remember when that like playstation 3 came out. people sold the first copy on ebay for 13k..... for a game system. you could buy a gibson sg real guitar and like 4 years of private lessons with that money. video games are taking everyone over. grades have dropped alot in schools. overweight. and like the kids who bring guns to school probably get the idea from the video games lol

exactly. all my friends always talk about it. i have played real guitar and drums for 5 years. and playing those games is nothing to me. but honestly.... who is paying these people to play a video game??? lol 25,000 in one competition is stupid!!!! and most of the people who have all these wii's and x box's are a lil on the obese side. not being mean ... but its the sitting on the couch that does it to people

I am 28 and a video game fanatic.....tho I would NEVER quit my job to play full time. I also play alittle drums,guitar and a little bass and althoght the game(s) is fun there is alot more to be acomplished with the real thing. As far as people paying them it is all from marketing. You get the game out and people love it and it becomes a job to them. Think of all the people that sign up for the tournements and prob. $100 entry(and we are prob. talking thousands) fee and 1 winner. Yeah they have top 3 I belive but not near the payoff for first. That's is how the money game is played. Hope this helps in any way.-Ray

alot of my friends play so i have heard plenty about the game. but i actually had kids say its alot more fun than a real guitar!!! i mean come on memorizing six colors of the rainbow is nowhere near as fun as picking up a real guitar with 6 actual string and hundreds of frets. its come to the point where people think fake guitar is cooler
