I am the true hero

I just finished Guitar Hero (the original, from the video store) on medium setting. In like 3 days!

To put this in perspective: I don't think I have ever finished any computer game that involved manual dexterity/hand eye coordination on a non-easy setting before. And even the ones that have an easy setting tend to challenge me a fair bit. Heck, about the only genre of game that I can get through without cheats/walkthroughs/excessive leveling etc is word games.

I still haven't finished "Portal". I'm fine right up until they introduce things that shoot at you, and then the puzzle solving part of my brain curls into the foetal position wailing "Can't think! Robots will shoot me!"

Anyway, if it turns out this version of the game is actually really easy? Don't tell me. I am happier in my blissful ignorance, at least for the moment :)

Congratulations !

I'm not quite the same with the manual dexterity thing, and haven't played portal so can't compare there. I do have issues with certain types of games though and am quite happy at my achievements when I get somewhere new in one of them.

Yes, I think everyone has things where what seems like a small achievement is a Big Deal due to the need to overcome natural ineptitude :)
