ROFL, CNN, get it right...

[RedTsunami]

I was randomly watching CNN on a TV in pizza kitchen this morning (restraunt), and I noticed a report they were having on violent video games (ugh, go figure). In there, one of their "video game specialists" (They didn't actually call him that, but oh well), claimed that:

"...games like Rock Band are coming to handheld systems..."
(not actual quote, but close enough)

and this makes me think: "how on earth would a game like RB work on, say, a DS?" would you tape all the peripherals to your body like a ******ed person? try to imagine somebody with a drumset taped to their chest, banging on it with drumsticks in a cramped elevator, with the DS taped to their face...

...

Or don't.

(EDIT: what? the shortened word for "metally handicapped" is sensored?)

Games like Jam Sessions I guess...

I thought I remember seeing Guitar Hero coming to the DS. Also it's already on cell phones.

Lol that's pretty dumb. But there is a music game on DS that comes to mind where you "play guitar" with your stylus, and it's probably what he was referring to, though he should have made reference to Guitar Hero rather than Rock Band.

uh. Rock Band is a violent video game?

That was my reaction.

That was my reaction.

Yes, dur, because games like Rock Band and Guitar Hero contain music of the rock genre, and everyone knows rock is the devil's music! Now excuse me while I sacrifice a goat as a gift to my lord Satan so he may grant me more gold stars in Rock Band.

[RedTsunami]

That was my reaction.

rofl, SO violent. Have you seen the way they smash their guitars? And when a baby gets in the way? tragic.

they were talking about the NON-violent games at this point, as in "games that they won't media bash endlessly".

big rofl at seeing the guitar peripheral...well, if they're gonna do it for a handheld, I guess that's their best choice.

Aside from the time my drum stick flew out of my hand and thwacked my GF playing guitar....

Couldn't be more wrong there, but thats where I'll leave it at.


and everyone knows rock is the devil's music!.

"Rock is not the devil's work, its magical and rad."

I know you're just messin' with CNN, but I just had to

Not really messing with CNN, just a poor attempt at humour. I know how extreme some people can be and wanted to poke fun at it.

After reading that, I can just imagine a mic, two guitars, and a drum set plugged into and sitting around a DS.
