These games have achieved massive sales and a wide following. Initially they were primarily guitar based, but now the genre has expanded to include drumming, singing (?dancing), and even DJ’ing. Obviously as far as games go they are very popular and fun for many people. But do they have any musical merit? Should musicians see them as a positive thing, negative, or indifferent? My own experience with these games began a couple of years ago with Guitar Hero II on the Xbox 360 (complete with plastic wired Gibson Explorer shaped guitar controller). I thought it was good but didn’t find it so...

However I’d like to see more study on the issue – specifically does playing Guitar Hero make you a better guitar player? I’m sure there’d be no shortage of volunteers to take part in this sort of research… (Source: Baggas' Blog) Baggas' Blog blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2999469 Tue, 17 Nov 2009 01:56:09 +0100 2999469 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2067684&cid=t_125279_133_f&fid=35129&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwhitterer-autism.blogspot.com%2F2008%2F12%2Fsome-kind-of-hero.html Get the code:-Cut and pastefrom this littleboxy thing below Generally speaking, I use ‘electronics time’ to be productive. However, the new Wii game, guitar hero, proves to be quite a challenge. There’s the issue of finger isolation, co-ordination and any number of different skills that prove insurmountable but tantalizingly tempting for the junior members of the household. Personally, I’d rather watch paint dry, but it takes all sorts I suppose. Although the persevere to master these new skills, the ratio of grief to joy is not favourable. I need ear plugs for the wailing let alone the actual music itself. I expect a plastic guitar to be hurled with every passing missed note. As a result my own productivity reaches at all time low as they cannot be left unsupervised unless I wish...

A friend says her nephew has it.” Now don’t get me wrong. After the initial incredulity that Charlie “had” something, my extende...

I would like to thank to the enlightened people that include those wonderful “sports” in the competition. I can’t wait to see rock-paper-scissors and Guitar Hero in 2012.

The Joint Commission's Speak Up! Program has been around for a few years (at least since I used it as a Patient Advocate 'rounding' in 2003-2004), but you rarely see a specific staff person within the acute care setting responsible for implementing the program. Our hospital, however, had a team of 5 Patient Advocates rounding on inpatient floors discussing the Speak Up! Program with patients and families.What, we found, however, upon administering the program is indicative of the healthcare system's larger 'chronic' issues....The process looked a bit like this:1. PA enters the room, cheerily confirms identity with double checks (name, armband) - after asking if we can chat about the program and if...

I was/am a big Alabama freak. Randy Owen is not a hottie by hottie standards. I’m sure the experts (LMAO) at hotornot would say…..NOT! But, I love RO. I have been to 4-5 of his concerts. He has the most amazing twinkle in his eyes……pure mischief. But, the best thing about RO is that incredibly husky, raw-sex voice. Goosebumps, I tell ya. Those romantic songs…..you know the ones with promise of S-E-X + F-I-R-E at the end of the nite. Anyway, my daughter bought me tickets to go see Randy Owen in concert at the WV state fair. He has his own band now, The Randy Owen Band. Kind of a surreal, circus atmosphere, though.

I found myself yelling at my Navigational System in my new car yesterday…. that would have been funny, if it were not for the fact that I was IN MOTION, turning onto a one-way street in downtown San Antonio, Texas… and that’s ok too… cause I was going only ONE-WAY… unfortunately, I was going the WRONG-WAY!
