I don't need no "virtual" guitar
Did you ever see the Simpsons episode in which Bart and Lisa do everything possible to avoid mowing grass and pulling weeds ... and then line up for the "yard work simulator" at the local fair? I always think about that episode when I read stories 'bout folks who "play" the guitar on vidya games (apologies to Hank Hill).
The above-pictured peripheral is cool-looking, I'll admit. However, I'll never understand why a person would rather play a virtual guitar instead of hitting a power chord on an actual guitar and feeling the ground vibrate under his or her feet.
