Scantron Hero

The best thing about Scantron Hero is that every line is a single note, so I suppose the best comparison would be Hard mode on Guitar Hero. Because you know with expert there would be a healthy number of double and even triple note lines. Just don’t play the same note consecutively too many times or people might get suspicious ...

Gambridge Z-1 Guitar Controller Teaches Real Guitar Technique

Real guitarists love to bitch about how the Guitar Hero-esque game controllers hinder the complexity of real-life guitar playing. And to be honest, they’ve gotta point.

Trader Joe’s is Trying Too Hard
