That should be [COOL] not [CAPTION]

Sorry, the correct answer is:

You may now take the time and effort to learn an instrument and play Devo. Any time you play Rock Band, you are a complete douche.

 
UNC_Samurai [TotalFark] 2008-05-26 12:30:48 PM  
Any time you play complain about people who play Guitar Hero and Rock Band instead of playing an instrument, you are a complete douche.

As someone who just bought a mic stand for his Rock Band mic, I'm really going to get a kick out of Devo...

Everyone I know who looks down on Rock Band hasn't played it yet. Converted more disbelievers than I care to remember.

DEVO is merely documenting the devolution of the human race through commercially viable participation in an attempt to separate the non-mutants from their money, just as they always have been. The joke is on you.

Saborlas: Didn't take long before the insecure musicians showed up.

I don't know...it's always seemed to me like the people who make comments like that in general don't play instruments themselves, while every one of the people I play Rock Band with play some sort of instrument (including myself).

This just in: Members of Devo have hit retirement age and are broke. Stay tuned after this word from our sponsor, Whip It non-dairy whipped cream dessert topping.

Seriously how many times can you possibly play "Whip It"? I don't think I could make it through the first time. Devo sucks.

Anyone who takes the time to go after someone for having a different hobby than themselves on the Internet, is a complete douche.

I nominate Rain-Monkey for douche of the thread. Anyone seconding it?

Do you get all indignant about people playing FPS games, calling them names because they are not out there with real guns? Do you get all offended by people who play the Sims, insisting they get a real dollhouse? Do you get your panties in a bunch when people play racing games, insulting them because they are not driving on a real track in a real car?

I am a guitar player. I also play Rock Band. See, I like to have fun. No one thinks that because they play Rock Band that they are a guitar player any more than people who play Star Wars games think they are an actual Jedi.

Get over yourself. The gamers are definitely not the douches in this thread.

Hey now, careful with that one. There are people out there who WILL actually get upset that sim racing fans don't take their real cars to the track.

\Thinks everyone should try an autocross or track day day at least once.
\\Also thinks that real-world racing is not a requirement to properly enjoy said racing sims.

I disagree, i think that Rain-monkey does believe he is a real Jedi.

Eh, I'm one of the people who doesn't "get" rythm games.

That being said, I've only really gotten after my roommates twice for playing it. Most of it had to do with the fact that at least one of them is likely playing it, reasonably loud, in the living room.

Not usually a big deal, as I can play my own music or w/e, but after a while it does get annoying, just like any other persistent noise.

But they're good about it, so we don't have any fights, really.

Rhawb: Hey now, careful with that one. There are people out there who WILL actually get upset that sim racing fans don't take their real cars to the track.

Well, they can "hrumph!" and "I never!" all they want, but it doesn't change the fact that I don't have a car, license, or access to a track. This will not stop me from playing my favourite type of game. Then again, I would never get that type of reaction from anyone, as I don't normally converse with douchebags.

I'm of the "they're not real instruments, jackass" camp.

However ... DEVO! Woot!

My money is on Whip It, Satisfaction, and Freedom of Choice.


What do you guys think?

I don't think that anyone believes they are real instruments. Those with an imagination, however, can have a blast playing the game.

And I am with you for two of those: I think it will be Whip It, Freedom of Choice, and Girl U Want.

 
Fun Dumpster 2008-05-26 04:15:52 PM  
If they'd choose Devo's cover of Head Like a Hole, I'd finally have all the incentive I need to plunk down the cash to finally buy Rock Band.

I didn't watch the video but I read earlier in the week that they went back into the studio and recorded some of the synth parts on guitar just for Rock Band. Should be a lot of fun.

 
DD0 [TotalFark] 2008-05-26 04:48:47 PM  
Has there been any word on the Cars album? It was supposed to come out in May, so if not tomorrow I guess that won't be happening?

That would be a nice purchase too, hopefully the Devo tracks come soon as well.

that wasn't my goal, I was trying to prove a point to the previous wiener that even though you've got instruments doesn't mean you can't have fun with a rock-band or guitar hero
