Mega Post for Guitar Hero Fanatics

February 23, 2009 By admin

The average gamer loves to identify his or herself with their favorite games. I guess that’s why tattoos are so popular – you can let everyone know what floats your boat… what gets under your skin, by wearing it on your skin.

There’s hope for those of us who are allergic to pain, though. We can identify with our gaming passions by plastering our wall with posters and our bodies with tees and hoodies.

We get the same identity fix but without the excruciating pain that I’m certain must come with tats.
