Shred for the Lord
We don't do a lot of gadget-type stuff out of the wired.com bureau in New York. Lately it's starting to show.
Eliot Van Buskirk, who edits our music blog, Listening Post, has had a toy on his desk for weeks. "Guitar Praise" promises to let you "Strap on the guitar and play along with your favorite bands -- tobyMac, Skillet, Stellar Kart, Newsboys -- and more."
Yes, this is "Guitar Hero" for the devote. We can't wait (appearances to the contrary notwithstanding) to fire it up and experience the "Unparalleled Game Play" which includes:
- Onscreen lyrics emphasize Christian themes (which makes perfect sense), and
- Power duel mode sends surprises to mess with your opponent's play (which sounds downright unChristian to me)
Eliot finally got around to opening "Guitar Praise" about two weeks after it arrived and, a week after that, finally found a free moment last Friday to start shredding for the lord.
Thing needs batteries. Battery compartment held down by screws. We don't have a screwdriver. Yes, we are pathetic.
