For Christmas, I got my little brother Guitar Hero 2. It’s like dance dance revolution, only you have to play a guitar in time to the music instead of dancing. We’ve pretty much spent all the holidays playing it, it’s so addictive. The thing they’ve done really well is that when you’re doing well, you feel like you’re really playing the guitar.

Anyway, a side effect of the game is that I’ve got into some of the music it comes with, stuff I’d never normally listen to, such as Cheap Trick’s, Surrender. Now having watched the video of them doing it, I think I prefer my version.

• Hope you had a great Christmas and New Year’s holiday, Darren. And I hope you didn’t develop a blister from Guitar Hero 2.

• “I got my little brother Guitar Hero 2…”

  haha, less of the little. I’m 19! It was a great present though, thanks again.

  Also, since you went back south I unlocked Sweet Child O’ Mine which is great to play.

• Well I’ll look forward to playing that next time I’m home.
