There ya go..... As for pushing buttons for virtual instruments, even games like Donkey Kong 64 had it in the game.....or even something as simple as Zelda lol. But ya, when it comes to rock music that stuff in the quote is exactly what RB and GH are.
In 1993 at Cal I had this idea to use the internet as a way to connect architects and contractors with product vendors using the Construction Specification Institute (CSI) numbers. On your computer you could look up productsy by the CSI numbers and then view their brochures online with both text and graphics. Further you could "click" on parts of the brochures that would open up other "pages" of the brochures and place orders. Well I was talking about this one day with another student at a bar in San Francisco and who should be sitting at the table across from us but Marc Andresson and Jeff Bezos.. A few years later out comes Mosaic and then later Amazon and the rest is history. bastards...
I think your story is worse because Amazon sells books and books are more important than video games.
When I was 18 or 19 I was at the beach and grilling up some hamburgers. A fellow came by and asked if he could have one. I said no. He said I could have some passes to Gilley's. I said, "Why would I want to go there?". Turns out the fellow was Mickey Gilley. If I had given him a burger, I could have had the John Travolta role in Urban Cowboy.
Last year I knocked over a bunch of blocks, and some asshat corporate big wig stole the idea, went into a time machine and created Jenga 50 years ago. b*stard.
Well, we wouldn't "bag" on him if he wasn't saying this every 10,000th post... and frankly, this is a bit too much... every 40,000 would be OK with me.
man, i was eating a hotdog in vienna one day and chatting it up with the guy selling them at a stand. i told him that the bun was stale. he said he was sorry, but was out of buns. i just ate the sausage by itself. i started thinking how delicious it was without the bread and said to the guy, "man... i should come out with mini versions of these sausages, but in a can." i flew back to the states the next day. after shopping at piggly wiggly a couple of weeks later, i went down the canned meats isle and saw a can of vienna sausages. that b*stard.
Attention is attention. He's getting what he wants out of the deal. lol. Nice. And they had like 10 versions released by 2002.
I remember eating lunch with a coworker who used to roll quarter sized balls of rice together before stuffing it in his mouth. One day he was popping 5 or 6 in a row and i noticed a blue plastic ball in his bowl. He didn't see it and I screamed, "Dude, you're about to swallow a blue pack man." Next thing I know, six months later I see pacman at the arcades. Apparently, our boss overheard me and he stole the idea for the game.
wait, you mean to tell me Zelda, Ocarina of Time didn't invent the idea of using a controller to play music that you're instructed to play?
