Guitar Hero

The first Guitar Hero video game was released on the 8th of November 2005, since then over 23 million copies of the game and controller have been sold. With this much interest it was only a matter of time before curious minds started un-screwing, painting and re-wiring their standard controllers.

yeah. he did.
Feb 9, 2011. 1:35 PMjames4 says:
no he doesn't

i agree, totally different.

a nerd like math and d & d
a geek likes computers, technology, and usually video games and anime/comics....
i consider being a geek a good thing..... exspecially since i consider myself one.

generally, both nerds and geeks are considered smart.

everyone likes computers and i like vid games i don't like school but I'm awesome at math
Feb 11, 2011. 1:05 PMbadideasrus says:
yes, but there's 'likes computers' everyday person and then there's 'obsessed with computers' not so everyday person. of course everyone likes computers. but there's a reason bestbuy as a 'geek' squad

also, being good at math doesn't mean you like it. i'm great at math. i HATE math.

and your missing the point about the video games. all sorts of people like video games, but geeks have a (mostly true) stereotype about loveing games and anything japanese.

HI all,

You might be interested to know that the definitions AS USED of geek and nerd are exactly flipped between the US West Coast and the US East Coast.

So, you who are answering one way and the other way may be from opposite sides of the country. ie. both right for your locale

great guide. also, just because you can play a real instument, doesnt make you better than anyone who likes to play giutar hero or rock band, just a jerk for thinking so. (rock band ftw, geeks of the world unite!0

It does, however, make him cooler. I don't think that WoW has ever gotten me anywhere with the ladies (real ones anyway). By the way, I don't play any instruments except the air guitar. I'm not even very good at that. bAsically the world is divided into two groups of people, those who play guitar, and those who wish they did. That is why they invented Guitar Hero. It is also why Esteban makes so much money.

Hey, WoW gets you very far with geek ladies! Just because they aren'tpopular doesn't mean that they aren't real!

Little known fact: You are not officially dating a geek girl until you fill out a mile-long application to join her guild.

Ok you guys got me. I was just trying to lighten the mood after Killzo pissed on it. I thought that it was funny though. Sorry to offend you. I am glad that internet gaming has helped you cope with not being a guitar player. At least you are no longer in the denial group. JUST KIDDING. Trying to have fun.

Sep 25, 2009. 1:24 PMnatethegreat88 says:
And those that play drums, and all bass instruments.
May 11, 2009. 12:09 PMBazzatron says:
which group am i in? i dont like guitars - end of - guitar hero is good but it so disjointed from guitars tht its acceptable, its like a lazy mans Dance Dance revolution lol
May 12, 2009. 9:07 AMetanner78 says:
you are in the denial group. That is a subgroup of those who wish they did.
