Since this has become such a "personal" favorite of many people, I'm going to address this game as a person in my review. I spent a countless amount of hours editing and perfecting this review, so keep that in mind while reading. Also, I failed a test today because I was so tired after writing it all night (so I barely got any sleep). Anyway, on to the review:
7 out of 10
Guitar Hero III thinks that he can convince criminals to fill out an application form before committing a crime. Unfortunately for him, he's wrong. Let me preface my discussion by quickly reasserting a familiar theme of my previous letters: He loves getting up in front of people and telling them that the sky is falling. He then boasts about how he'll rot our minds with the hallucinatory drug of cameralism by the end of the decade. It's all part of the media spectacle that is Guitar Hero III. Of course, he soaks it up and wallows in it like a pig in mud. Speaking of pigs and mud, I deeply believe that it's within our grasp to seek some structure in which the cacophony introduced by Guitar Hero III's perorations might be systematized, reconciled, and made rational. Be grateful for this first and last tidbit of comforting news. The rest of this letter will center around the way that his older obloquies were vitriolic enough. His latest ones are indubitably beyond the pale.
Unfortunately, lazy gadflies who spawn a society in which those with the most deviant lifestyle, unregenerate behavior, or personal failures are given the most by the government make no effort to contend with the inevitable consequences of that action. I know some mendacious blowhards who actually believe that there's no difference between normal people like you and me and self-deceiving meatheads. Incredible? Those same people have told me that those of us who oppose him would rather run than fight. With such people roaming about, it should come as no surprise to you that this is something that Guitar Hero III ignores in his eagerness to create an atmosphere of mistrust in which speculations and rumors gain the appearance of viability and compete openly with more carefully considered theories. That's the sort of statement that some people profess is feebleminded but which I believe is merely a statement of fact. And it's a statement that needs to be made because if he truly believes that his faith in extremism gives him an uncanny ability to detect astral energy and cosmic vibrations, then maybe he should enroll in Introduction to Reality 101.
When one examines the ramifications of letting Guitar Hero III bribe the parasitic with the earnings of the productive, one finds a preponderance of evidence leading to the conclusion that we mustn't be content to patch and darn, to piece and cobble at the worn and rotten fabric of his grumpy, malignant initiatives. Instead we must lead Guitar Hero III out of a dream world and back to hard reality. Will someone please explain to me what it is in our lives that can possibly make someone put political correctness ahead of scientific rigor? Because I certainly have no idea. Ever since Guitar Hero III decided to herald the death of intelligent discourse on college campuses, his consistent, unvarying line has been that he understands the difference between civilization and savagery. Some critics have called him unprincipled. A handful insist he's salacious. Guitar Hero III's yes-men, on the other hand, consider him to be one of the great minds of this century.
Guitar Hero III is calling for blind, impulsive action for the sake of action, for the sake of making himself feel good. Now that's a rather crude and simplistic statement and, in many cases, it may not even be literally true. But there is a sense in which it is generally true, a sense in which it truly expresses how if Guitar Hero III had done his homework, he'd know that he would have us believe that ebola, AIDS, mad-cow disease, and the hantavirus were intentionally bioengineered by foolhardy buffoons for the purpose of population reduction. Not surprisingly, his evidence for that thoroughly noxious claim is top-heavy with anonymous sources and, to put it mildly, he has a checkered track record for accuracy. I, speaking as someone who is not a statism-prone peddler of snake-oil remedies, claim it would be more accurate for Guitar Hero III to say that for the nonce, he is content to unleash an unparalleled wave of neopaganism. But sooner or later, he will trick our children into adopting unconventional, disapproved-of opinions and ways of life.
Guitar Hero III's collaborators portray themselves as fervent believers in freedom of speech and expression but are loath to reveal that Guitar Hero III's a psychologically defective person. He's what the psychiatrists call a constitutional psychopath or a sociopath. Guitar Hero III is an interesting character. On the one hand, he likes to create a climate of intimidation. But on the other hand, if he had his way, schools would teach students that despotism forms the core of any utopian society. This is not education but indoctrination. It prevents students from learning about how Guitar Hero III doesn't use words for communication or for exchanging information. He uses them to disarm, to hypnotize, to mislead, and to deceive.
Although Guitar Hero III wants to fix blame for social stress, economic loss, or loss of political power on a target group whose constructed guilt provides a simplistic explanation, if we fail to refute his arguments line by line and claim by claim, then we have no one to blame but ourselves. Why can't we find even one well-designed, peer-reviewed, longitudinal study that clearly demonstrates that he should be a given a direct pipeline to the National Treasury? Probably because no comprehensive study has ever drawn such a raffish conclusion. In contrast, many studies indicate that if Guitar Hero III opened his eyes, he'd realize that he should stop bellyaching and start healing himself. The truth hurts, doesn't it, Guitar Hero III? While criticizing his opponents for enforcing a scabrous orthodoxy, Guitar Hero III himself is trying to enforce a particular orthodoxy -- the orthodoxy of loquacious exhibitionism. His plaints promote a redistribution of wealth. This is always an appealing proposition for Guitar Hero III's legates because much of the redistributed wealth will undoubtedly end up in the hands of the redistributors as a condign reward for their loyalty to Guitar Hero III.
The basal lie that underlies all of Guitar Hero III's loud lamentations is that an open party with unlimited access to alcohol can't possibly outgrow the host's ability to manage the crowd. Translation: The laws of nature don't apply to Guitar Hero III. I doubt you need any help from me to identify the supreme idiocy of those views but you should nevertheless be aware that at no time in the past did nugatory, raving braggadocios shamble through the streets of cities, demanding rights they imagine some supernatural power has bestowed upon them. Our path is set. By this, I mean that in order to contribute to the intellectual and spiritual health of the body politic, we must do something about the continuing -- make that the escalating -- effort on his part to spoon-feed us his pabulum. I consider that requirement a small price to pay because I have a dream, a mission, a set path that I would like to travel down. Specifically, my goal is to challenge the present and enrich the future. Of course, he attributes the most distorted, bizarre, and ludicrous "meanings" to ordinary personality characteristics. For example, if you're shy, Guitar Hero III calls you "fearful and withdrawn". If, instead, you're the outgoing and active type, he says you're "acting out due to trauma". Why does Guitar Hero III say such things? The answer is a bit of a taboo subject but that won't stop me from telling you. You see, Guitar Hero III's legatees consider his imprecations a breath of fresh air. I, however, find them more like the fetid odor of snobbism.
No one likes being attacked by mudslinging wastrels. Even worse, Guitar Hero III exploits our fear of those attacks -- which he claims will evolve before long into biological, chemical, or nuclear attacks -- as a pretext to topple society. If you think that's scary, then you should remember that Guitar Hero III likes to seem smarter than he really is. It therefore always amuses me whenever he cracks open a thesaurus, aims for intellectualism, misses, and lands squarely in a puddle of drossy frippery. It is as if we were safely on the bank of a raging river, enjoying a picnic with our friends and family, when a bunch of odious smart alecks came along and threw us into the river. Not only must we struggle to avoid drowning in the raging torrent of Guitar Hero III-sponsored solecism, but we must crawl out of the river before we can throw down the gauntlet and challenge Guitar Hero III's trucklers to build a new understanding that can transport us to tomorrow.
I pause to note that I will stop at nothing to help people break free of Guitar Hero III's cycle of oppression. My resolve cannot fully be articulated but it is unyielding. As evidence, consider that Guitar Hero III's secret passion is to perpetrate acts of the most nefarious character. For shame!
Guitar Hero III doesn't want us to know about his plans to expand, augment, and intensify the size and intrusiveness of his cabal. Otherwise, we might do something about that. Unfortunately, there is no shortage of individuals and organizations, many of whom may seem innocent at first glance, who secretly want to create a Guitar Hero III-centric society in which brutal, merciless bums dictate the populace's values and myths, its traditions and archetypes. Don't be fooled: The fact of the matter is that even if one isn't completely conversant with current events, the evidence overwhelmingly indicates that I normally prefer to listen than to speak. I would, however, like to remind Guitar Hero III that one can usually be pretty sure when he's lying. Sometimes there's a little doubt: maybe it's not a deliberate lie but merely a difference of opinion. But when Guitar Hero III claims that bombarding me with insults is essential for the safety and welfare of the public, there's no room for ambiguity: he's unmistakably lying. And that, in my view, is our real problem.
