I have found a new addiction in life.

After a weekend with friends watching some of the guys hog the guitar on the Wii and occasionally letting the girls have a go, I made the plunge and bought myself a copy of the game and the guitar-shaped controller. I then proceeded to spend over three hours rocking out in my lounge the other night losing all concept of time. I have now progressed to the medium level.

It is a great concept and I think would actually help with real guitar playing (mine has gone very rusty).

However what didn't help was on my first night of playing that a gigantic spider appeared from under the TV cabinet and disrupted my flow as I frantically ran around trying to find a suitable receptacle to fit it in. I'm not the best with spiders. Or any kind of insect really.
