The one trend that I have seen is that all these videos seem to be of people who are awesome at it, but what about us regular folks that are playing for the sheer fun of the game. That is why I wanted to make this video of me and my kids playing.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; color: #000000;">So to set the scene this is me, my 2 sons and my soon to be brother in law. My sister is the camera “person” and isn’t happy about it either.. She totally didn’t want to have to film us. We have been playing for about 3 hours now when we decide to get the camera out. I wanted to thank my kids and Andy for letting me film them and then put our silly asses on the internet, <span id="more-137"></span>all for your enjoyment. Anyway, I hope this moves all of you to get up and ROCK OUT like we did, more videos of that is what I want to see, I don’t care if you can get 100% on expert. Hell, my eleven year old can do that. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Oh and let’s not forget that burp it up in the video!</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"> <p><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/FPVMLu7thiw&hl=en&fs=1" /></object></p> <form action="http://www.anrdoezrs.net/interactive" method="get"> <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" width="600"> <tbody> <tr> <td width="10%" valign="top"></td> <td valign="top"><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">Rock Band – Pre-Played</span></strong></p> <p><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></p> <p><span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>NOTE: Gameplay requires a drum, microphone, or guitar controller.

When I see it I am no more excited about it, then I get about any other Xbox game out there. I am not a fan of console type games. That is not to say I havent had a few I liked, because I have. I toally loved the first Lord Of The Rings game.. lots of puzzles and an all around good time. I also really liked Jade Empire and Dreamfall, but for the most part it really is not my bag. So they get it out of the box and get the nice wireless guitar all put together and start up the game. <span id="more-26"></span>I am sitting in the room listening to the cling clang of missed notes and wondering why would they continue this torture. As the night continued on though, they continued to get better and better, until they could actually start playing the songs all the way through. The truth be told though if I ever have to listen to slow ride again I might have to blow my brains out. As the days go on, they are having a blast, and have even gotten thier 2 uncles to join in on the fun. Now picture this I have 3 grown men and 2 teenage boys all wanting the one guitar. I was starting to get curious, and maybe think this could be cool. So with in the week while all the big guys were away I started tinkering with it. And other then the horrible hand cramps I seem to get from it, I loved it. It is relaxing and not relaxing all at that same time. It is fun to play, it is fun to watch others play. We have since gotten another guitar and spend alot of time doing the multiplayer.. mom on bass.. kinda play. I found it a great way to bond with my boys and a ton fun to be had by the whole family.</p> <p><a class="a2a_dd addtoany_share_save" href="http://www.addtoany.com/share_save"></a> </p> </article> </main></body></html>
