Guitar Hero Suffers For His Art
Playing for the high one, dancing with the devil
Going with the flow, it's all the same to me
From Joystiq:
An Omaha man, known simply as Jimmy, reports he will soon be walking again after a botched guitar toss during his "Texas Flood" solo on July 3 left him with a broken knee. To clarify, Jimmy isn't in a Stevie Ray Vaughan cover band, he's just a Guitar Hero addict.
From Jimmy's weblog:
We were neck in neck in points… I had to do something special. I needed STYLE points. I breathed deep, my rock meter was maxed out and I was going to make this audience feel it. I twisted to the right and threw my guitar in the air! Instead of a roaring audience I heard a loud snap! My knee slid to the outside of my leg and my leg bent sideways as I fell to the ground.
Ouch.

Don’t ever leave us Amber! Its bad enough that you don’t post on the weekends but to have left us for 2 week days was unforgivable. jk But maybe you can spend the weekends by joining my wow guild. I talked to our officers and they said they would twink you and get you to 60 super fast and would consider it bragging rights to have you in the guild. Come on you know you want to!! =P
