   I'd heard of the game a while ago because Deep Purple was featured in it.

   I guess I added it to the other five and found it funny because I'm a   
   guitarist of some note (although we're not exactly sure which note that is).   
   When Randy plugged in and demonstrated that he could actually play a real   
   guitar, the boys thought it was gay.  I enjoyed the show in part because it   
   highlighted how ridiculous it was that fake guitarists take precedence over   
   a real guitarist.  When extreme players of the game (1000000 points) were   
   exposed as fags, it was sort-of comforting.   
      
   I think the last 3 half-seasons have been some of the best episodes.  South   
   Park is on the up and up, and I'll keep watching for the next few seasons   
   too!
