The Bass Geek

I don’t actually own a Wii, so I can’t comment on the pan-gender, age-neutral fun to be had from playing this system. Still, the announcement of Wii Music (which incorporates the ability to control up to 60 instruments or conduct an orchestra) seems like a bonus for the musically inclined gamer. And it fits the system rep well - Guitar Hero and Rock Band allow the unleashing of your vulgar, profane inner rocker, while Wii Music encourages exploration and safe fun in a group setting. No word on whether it approaches the thrill-a-minute spectacle that was 3rd-grade recorder lessons.

The Onion does a great job summarizing the masterful piece of cinematic craftsmanship that is Road House in this recent article. Still no mention of the late Jeff Healey as Greek Oracle, though, which disappoints me. Perhaps that is my own dissertation to write.

To link the two subjects together, I propose a Double Deuce level for Guitar Hero. Imagine the chicken-wire-encased, bloozy fun to be had!
