Grammie Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 My husband bought me a Guitar Hero and Wi and let me tell you it is a BLAST!!!!! Any quilters out there who like this. I\'ve never been one for games except pool and Trivia maybe and not Nintendo but this Wi is so fun. It is so funny watching beginners too. The body language is just a RIOT when playing these guitars. He wanted to cheer me up and I think it might have worked. lolol I\'m a KID again. YIPPY Have a good week everyone. Grammie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is just way too much fun...:P:P:P I know what you mean about the guitar because they have one too.....what a hoot that is...... does anyone else out there have one???

JenMcManus Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 You are so cool! My kids have Guitar Hero, and think all the songs from it are made just for GH. We\'ll hear a song on the radio and they\'ll say, "That\'s from Guitar Hero." I\'ll say, "Nooooo, that\'s an old Kansas song!" It\'s the same with the Simpsons. They think everything originated on the Simpsons. I have to remind them its just a parody!!!! Rock on..... Jen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanie Rouse Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 We went to Springfield for a bowling tournament and my DS brought his Guitar Hero to entertain himself and his sisters during the down time. WOW!! That was so much fun. Of course, I was "booed" off of the stage the first couple of times that I played, but I persisted and could get 80+% correct. Very addictive!

nineva Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Yep, Guitar Hero is a part of our house. Grandkids, kids, old people. Don\'t matter. We rock out. Wanna be rock stars. Such a hoot. :P Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltmonkey Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 LOL Grammie! We have Wii, too but don\'t have the guitar. I might have to surprise my DH with the guitar one of these days... LOL! Wii sure is fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sams Mom Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 We do Rock Band in our house. Generally on Sunday afternoons. My son who is amazing on the guitar is a little less than gentle with me but I\'m pretty good for a mom (all those piano lessons). I do however rock on the drums. itune purchases are up too, I wonder why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheri Butler Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 We purchased the Wii too. OMG, here I am, 50 yrs old and loving every minute of wii. Now, as far as Guitar Hero, I have to go to my next door neighbors to play it. Hubby says since he cant "strum" and click buttons at the same time, it\'s not worth t he $$. Is he NUTTS???????? It took me forever to get him to buy the wii, now he\'s in front of the big screen with that thing constantly! (it is a riot!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellysuequilter Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 We have a Wii and I love it! I don\'t do well with guitar hero type games though. I play Elebits quite a bit and my son (when he isn\'t grounded from it) loves to play Hot Wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LA Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 I think this was the #1 best selling game at Christmas this year! My boys would spend all day on this if I let them! It is fun to watch them try to keep up with the music! But I still like to see them spend more time on their real guitars, I guess I am a stick in the mud!

Cheryll Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 I play at my son\'s house but I sort of cooled it because I want to save my Strength for quilting. Ha Ha I thought it might be a little hard on the wrists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calicoquilter Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 We bought my daughter Guitar Hero for her Playstation for Christmas and I haven\'t gotten to use it yet because she took it back to college with her. My daughters were both amazed that I knew all the words to the songs, though. I did enjoy the music. Colleen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchman Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Have been there... Great fun. Now we will wait for the first photo\'s of you and your Hero. Not to mention the first songs you are going to play for us at MQS or do you need more time to practice ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreacher Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Over heard in a music store. "Hey check it out! Paul Mc Cartney was with a group before Wings!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa Mullins Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Everyone in my family plays with the Wii when they come to Florida for a visit. My sister is coming for a visit in a couple of weeks from Ohio and she called to check to see what games we have. My son has the guitar for xbox360 but it sounds like a great gift for Father\'s day!

SandraC Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Yes, Guitar Hero and Rock Band are a hit here too! But the one I like is what I got my son for Christmas...Sing Star! I can\'t carry a tune at all, but love to sing, so everyone has to listen to me doing this because it\'s so much fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LynnQuilts Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 I like to play the drums in Rock Band. It\'s not as easy as I thought it would be, but it\'s a lot of fun and I dream of having a set of live drums! But I\'m not very good, because I can\'t take enough time away from my quilting to practice enough!! My grandson is really good at the guitar though, having played Guitar Hero since it first came out till now, and gets impatient when I make us die!

jajab Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 My DH and boys all love Guitar Hero and my 5 yr old DD. We have 3 guitars. I have never tried it for fear that they will laugh at me. That and that I would get addicted and never get anything else done. It is funny to hear them singing songs from it and thinking that was what I listened to when i was their age. My FIL finished his basement just so that he could have the grand kids over and play video games. He went and bought a Wii and has a place to hook up 4 gaming systems. The kids are all waiting for grandpa\'s basement party just so they can go and play all day. Guess where I will be for the weekend? Thank goodness they live next door and I can come home at anytime and go back and get the kids when they are done. Angela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsktsn3cats Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 hahahaha. DH and I just got a Wii yesterday. I wondered if we were the only adults who refuse to grow up! We don\'t have the guitar though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DebFigved Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 The Wii is fantastic. We visited my dear daughter and family in January. I went down with all the aches from sitting too long on the plane. My daughter told me to check out their Christmas present. Well, after bowling, and singing with Hanna Montana, and tennis, I was hooked. My daughter did the guitar thing...but I just enjoyed laughing as she danced with the guitar. Yee haw! Guess what I want for Christmas! What a hoot that system is. I think its the best exercise for us oldies!!! I even heard from my son that they are putting them in retirement centers. Boy, would it be fun to be a bug on the wall!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grammie Posted April 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Hey Deb, I can bring my two guitars and the wi and we can play at the end of the day. TOO FUN!!!!! I\'m driving a van so there is lots of room. lololol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DebFigved Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 We could bring some life to the pre-show evenings (Sunday and Monday). That little room next to the bar should do just fine! LOL. BTW. American said they did not have a limit on bags (when I booked my flight and decided not to drive). Just yesterday they said it will be $25 a bag (after the 1st) beginning in May. They can\'t cut down on my spending that way. I still plan to bring two empty bags. Now If only I could get a big roll of batting to go on the plane....

kellysuequilter Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 We just got Mario Kart and it is so much fun! my husband has been sitting here very OCD like trying and re-trying to beat his best scores and then racing against various "ghosts" trying to beat their times.
