Why I love eBay


By Stormblade - Posted on 09 January 2009


Due to peer pressure that has caused me in the past to make such intelligent purchasing decisions like GTA4, Halo3 and R6V2, I have succumbed and purchased Rock Band.

So I managed to get Rock Band, Rock Band 2 and all the instruments (albeit corded, but I don't care) for $85 (US that is, shipping included).

God Bless eBay.

but now Coxxorx and I have way too much to pick on you with that we will not even be able to start a game.

You are probably humming a Jonas Brothers song right now and checking on when you can audition for American (I am so embarrassed)  Idol. 

Maybe you can play some Gary Glitter!

Tell me you're kidding!

Gary Glitter holy crap...lol

Funny though for some reason this triggered a memory of Goddo...strange...

I have been waiting for this moment! From all the taunting I have endured when you first noticed that I was playing Guitar Hero. And some statements to the effect that you would rather be dead than play it. Now you have actually went out and bought the game.

You do realize what this means, don't you?

Whith every passing day, you are becomming more and more like me!

Except I don't think I will ever be able to call you mini-me.

My comments were directed at Guitar Hero, which still sucks.

Also, this is purely bowing to peer pressure. It's not like I enjoy playing the drums to 'Eye of the Tiger'.

Really.

My house is now a "Tiger-only" zone since Gabba played Eye of the Tiger on the drums. She downloaded all the possible Eye of the Tiger covers from iTunes' previews, and now all my mornings are swamped with blaring "dagada-dagada-dagada DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DAAAAAAAA"

"I'd rather be dead than play this game."

because you would be dead, in a grave, "lying" down.

It would be better than playing that game.

Why not just learn to play a real instrument.

Now, there is an interesting thought...
But I already know how to play 4 ok 3.5 my bloody hands are too big for most standard guitars so Bass it is (which is one of the three

But seems that most people here can only play the cow bell and maybe even triangle because you know the triangle has 3 different sides that make the same sound.

PS
Ok I will even admit that back in high school I was forced to play the Clarinet :p
Ok Revek go ahead and flame because I purposely left myself wide open for you.

I shall name thee A-Bert.

Q-Bert also played the clarinet in high school.

Oh, and I don't think you are the only musician here. I think Blackwalt can play the accordion. And maybe Stormblade can play the bag-pipes, but I am not sure about that one.

1) Recorder, lol, good old elementary school
2) Piano (2 years)
3) Trumpet (5 years)

4) Guitar Hero guitar, LOL.

Hit the "play" button on a tape recorder? That is considered an instrument?

Noir's picture

it's a plastic flute you play in elementary school.

We had to play them in my day to. I got to play the Alto because I had prior experience.

Although I am curious to know how the word recorder evolved from meaning the flute type instrument, to record keeping and recordings.

Recorder definitions

I would venture to guess that way back when a recorder was called a recordman and perhaps the Feminaz...** ahem **...nists probably had their hand in this. Since then a mechanical device that performs the same function just inherited the name.

But this is all speculation and I could be wrong it has happened once before.

As long as it's made out of Lego.

That includes the "skin flute" ?
