Think I had that moment, home from college for the summer back in 2007. Dad comes into my room and I'm playing Carry on My Wayward Son on Guitar Hero alone in my room after my ditch-digging job. He looks at the scene, with a look on his face like, 'that's not even a real guitar, it's like your baby sister's fischer price', pulls a Randy Marsh and goes and gets his acoustic guitar, comes in, says 'Kansas is fag music', and starts playing Led Zeppelin.
Little did he know, summer of 2007, at an undergraduate university campus in the Los Angeles area that was 55% asian, was a completely unique and fleeting point in time and space where being awesome at guitar hero was relevant. I once had a girl walk into my dorm room while I was playing counterstrike, come up behind my chair, put her chin on the top of my head and rest her tits on my shoulders while watching me play. I just kept playing counterstrike; thought to myself "gee, she sure is open with her body". It was a confusing time for young Lune. I later went on to win my wife in a scrabble game. I'm therefore confident I've touched more tits from gaming than my dad ever did from guitar. Boomers will never understand.
