I finally gave in to buy GH2 and a Guitar during the Black Friday visit to Best Buy yesterday. For the past few weeks I've been playing this game on my boyfriend's PS2 memory card. Since I can't play it all of the time I decided that I needed to get my own game to put it on my PS2 memory card. That means it's all MINE! I did finish the easy mode on my boyfriend's memory card so I do want to start over and get more 5 stars instead of 3 and 4 stars this time around. Plus, I want to unlock the cool guitar (shh, I'd describe it but I don't want to give you any spoilers, I will say that it's green).

This Thanksgiving dinner was all about Guitar Hero II. After dinner was over some friends who were getting drunk on wine and other liquor (hey I was a bit tipsy as well!) were sitting down waiting for our stomachs to settle so we could eat apple and pumpkin pie later. Some of them went outside for a smoke break and I challenged one of new guys I met for the first time that night. His eyebrow went up when I said, "okay, lets go, you versus me at GH2!" I didn't realize he was that good. When we finally got ready to play against each other I told him I was easy and he laughed and replied, " uhh, don't say that to too many guys." I told him I meant easy MODE! Heh.

After the first hour of still playing easy mode most of the people there ganged up on me and said it was about time for me to promote myself to Medium mode. All of them were playing this mode and some of them weren't good at it so it didn't really matter that I wasn't good for first few songs. I did get it down pretty well and after 3 more hours of Guitar Hero 2 my pinky was hurting from using the blue key too often. It was great fun though, totally worth having an injured pinky finger.

I also met this girl there that night who really digged playing Guitar Hero II. I am telling you, this game is for anyone! Even the girl who checked me out (the register silly!) at Best Buy said the same thing. She asked me. "OHHH have you played this game before?" I told her yes, and the first game too. She said it was her favorite game of all time. I also saw this older lady walk out the door with GH2 in her cart. This game is spreading with GH2 more than it did with the first game! Now if only there was an internet multiplayer mode so I could challenge all of you once I was able to play Hard mode! :twisted:

Today I received a newsletter from Sierra mentioning that the Eragon game was released. I went down to EBGames to buy the PS2 version. I haven't read the books before but I do want to watch the movie.

Oh! Who is going to see Eragon when it comes out in the threaters this December? I should gather peeps in Bay Area like I used to when I worked at Mplayer. Those were the days. :)

Anyways, as you can see I don't have that many PS2 games because I sold many of them to GameCrazy when I lived in Texas a few years ago. So if you have any recommendations let me know! And don't be telling me some sport game is good, the only sport game I would try is a Hockey game.
