Remember a week ago when I said that Guitar Hero was a lot of fun for the Wii? Disregard that. That wasn't me who posted that. I believe it was a shape-shifter from another galaxy, temporarily taking on my form in order to lead earthlings onto paths of pain and despair.
Why the hate? I absolutely cannot beat Career Mode on the Hard level . In fact, I don't think anyone can do this. Some people claim they can, but I'd be careful around that lot; they're probably organ thieves. Don't drink anything they give you.
I blame all of this on one song: Raining Blood by Slayer. I'll admit to not being the world's biggest Slayer fan, but that song has consumed my life for the past three days. If I try any harder to beat that song, I'm going to have a seizure. It's not going to be a little seizure that people might giggle at if it were posted to YouTube, it'll be a full-on, hardcore, crazy seizure, where I bite off my tongue and pop my eyeballs out. Overreaction? I just failed the song after getting to 87% completion, so not exactly.
As I was typing this entry, I googled "Raining Blood" + Slayer + "Guitar Hero" + hard. You know what turned up? This wikipedia page, where some wise soul of the Internet wrote, "'Raining Blood' is a playable song in the Activision music video game Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, where it is renowned for being one of the hardest songs in the regular 'Career Mode' setlist, due to its very high tempo and notoriously devastating Mosh 1 section."
In the event anyone ever slaps a Needs Citation marker on that line, the Wikipedians of the world may cite this entry and the following sentence: the Mosh 1 section of Raining Blood is a notoriously devastating soul-killer, the bastard son of Freddy Kruger and Nancy Grace. If I don't beat it tonight, I'm selling my Wii and becoming a sherpa.
