Jun 24 2008Video: How To Play Guitar Hero On The DS
This is a video explaining how to play Guitar Hero: On Tour with the Nintendo DS. It ranks right up there with the Star Wars Dance Competition in things that are unbearable to watch. Seriously, I almost killed myself while watching it. I was just slipping my head through the noose when it ended. Don't believe me? I dare you to watch the whole 3:30 and then tell me with a straight face you didn't entertain cutting yourself. Because you did. You also entertained finding out where Mr. Eyeliner lives and cutting him. Go on, admit it.

I watched this a few weeks ago and wanted to kill everyone responsible for me having seen what I did. It would have been a KillBill style thing with a suicide at the end.

That singing tool shed can't help it that no one would ever hire him to do anything less painful. At first I hated him, but now I just feel bad.

After I lost count of how many times I just slit my wrist, I just sliced off my arm.
:( But the video's still playing

Made it to 2:00. I need help. I think I hate everyone now.

Geekologie writer i demand the following:
1. Build a time machine.
2. Go back in time.
3. Kill eyeliners parents.
4. Jump forward a couple of years and chastise me for even contemplating clicking "play video" before reading the column.
I have (had) a great laptop now it has bleeding LCD marks where i tried to throttle mop head and eyeliner.
:(
very :(

This clip should have been rated NC-17 by MPAA! God bless the author of this promo clip, it's fucking funny, I can't breath anymore :')

com'n, this has got to be a joke!!!
12. James - June 24, 2008 12:47 PM
I thought I was going to be able to make it to the end, and then he started wiggling. I blacked out after that.
13. SmokingGirl - June 24, 2008 12:48 PM
I found it rather funny in that "haha, okay, that's enough of that" sort of way. Mr. Eyeliner was, eh, yea...time for coffee. Instead of Black Silk I made Custom Blend, anyone want a cup?
14. The Adam Bomb - June 24, 2008 12:51 PM
That was incredible.
15. Westy - June 24, 2008 12:55 PM
HAHA. WTF!! I think that's the guy from the bud light commercials (Real Men of genius)
16. anyone - June 24, 2008 1:49 PM
...I'll have one!
Thanks! Next time Moka Java is on the house!
17. kompleet - June 24, 2008 1:51 PM
ahahah Does anyone noticed that their DS was out of battery ? At some point, you can see the LED is red wich means no more battery , so it's fake and photoshoped ! AHAAAAAAAA !
18. Joeigglypuff - June 24, 2008 2:05 PM
It reduced me to tears. I think I'm going to kill someone over at activision.
19. radlad - June 24, 2008 2:24 PM
You can still play a DS when the light is red. If the battery status light turns red you have a maximum of 30% charge left. AHAAAAA!!

Frist time poster....
Wow, that was a horrible video. I practiced my stab motions while I watched.
21. Dav - June 24, 2008 2:35 PM
I couldn't go through with it all. I stopped it after "and wiggle it like a mad man... ohhhhh wiggle wiggle wiggle...."
UGH!
22. rockhead - June 24, 2008 5:04 PM
oh god..... i made it to 26 seconds the first time. I shall now take a deep breath and try again ..... i think if you make it through the whole thing, then the Army will recruit you because you are torture-resistant.
23. Lunchboxx - June 24, 2008 5:14 PM
i had to pause the vid afer the wiggle, cuz i could not stop laughing.
i laughed so hard, my butt hurts from forced farting.
but yeah after i watch this, i'm am so gonna slit my wrist till i bleed to death.
24. James - June 24, 2008 7:21 PM
AAAAAH so close though. I made it to 3:04 . Then i stabbed myself in the throat with my pen. I tried man i really tried.
25. wiinja - June 24, 2008 7:22 PM

awkward
26. Ariella - June 24, 2008 7:51 PM
...i made it all the way through
and i can't remember joy.
27. jason - June 24, 2008 10:04 PM
Holy A$$-F*CK!
What year are we living in?
This reminds me of the late 80s and the sh^tty commercials they used to have for Nintendo that had some no-name metal guitarist playing a crappy riff to the phenomenal 8-bit graphics while some kid or teenager with a backwards cap and walkman played intently.
This is by far the worse demonstration of how to use a new entertainment product that I've ever seen.
Jeezus!

If anyone can make it past:
"green, red, yellow, blue. What wil YOU DO?"
then they are a god.
29. Mort - June 25, 2008 12:18 AM
I think I just puked in my mouth a little.
30. Joey - June 25, 2008 2:26 AM
Well, they succeeded in making me NEVER want to buy that game. That's what they were aiming at, right?
31. shan - June 25, 2008 2:43 AM
Oh my God! That was the worst promo video ever! Why on earth would you want to play that game after seeing that? I can't even think about playing guitar hero...all I want to do is commit Murder/Suicide!
Oh, and the Budweiser commercials are AWESOME!
32. Eddy - June 25, 2008 3:41 AM
But seriously, you're still playing a game instead of a guitar. I'm sure the target market is lame, so the promo is equally... erm.
33. Ruezon - June 25, 2008 6:32 AM
That is almost enough to make me give up video games and go live in the mountains and shoot any one who comes near my wooden shack for fear that he might be the evil eyeliner singer.
34. Famous Mortimer - June 25, 2008 7:29 AM
Down the road not across the tracks!
35. err.... - June 25, 2008 10:16 AM

37. Ramon M. - June 25, 2008 5:31 PM
Hey, its fun though.
38. anyone/The Off-topic Writer - June 26, 2008 12:32 PM
Hey Sev!
I know now why you were in a bad mood...
You saw this video!

It would be a great video if eye-liner man eyes would pop off his head at the end. It would be a good finale.
39. Lindsay - June 27, 2008 2:07 PM
Hahahah SOMETIMES you can't yelll.
40. Danielle - July 10, 2008 7:47 PM
like it is not that bad at leass they had someone on there that was cute (not the singer) but any ways the game is really fun to play i got it last week and i love it's all i do when i am not playing any sports it is a real time killer!
If you do not have the game i say that you should go out and buy it.
and if you do not have a DS you should go out and buy one of tham aswelland make this game your frist game for it that is what i did
