I have an addiction.

It’s sending my life into a Death Spiral with Satan.

I could stop it if I wanted to but I don’t want to.

Like I talked about a few weeks ago, we now have a Wii and while the Wii Sports game is a blast, it’s Guitar Hero 3 that rules my life.  I’m only on Medium speed right now but I feel the need to play at least a few songs each night, climbing up the ladder to Rock Stardom.  Soon, the Dragonforce song will bow down to me too. 

Tom Morello?  Slash?  Lou?  They’re my bitches.  I OWN them.  At least on the Easy level.  Actually my true obsession began with my failure to beat Tom Morello (from Rage Against The Machine) for a while in the guitar battles since his solo cadence is unlike any other guitarist I know.

And now I just found out that Rock Band will be available for the Wii next month!  My nieces brought over their PS3 this weekend with the drum set from it and I can tell that I will also be addicted to that too.  Do I sound 17 years old right about now?  Probably.  Make fun of me.  I could care less.  Soon I will be a Guitar Hero. 

Then again, my idea of a video game “obsession” is nothing compared to most hardcore gamers.  Me playing 5 songs a night (maybe 30-45 minutes total) is a drop in the bucket compared to those who play games in 5/6/10 hour sessions.
