Rock Band.

So I go over to Aaron and Greg's house to play some video games because Mike Yin's in town. I remember they have this new Rock Band thing that all the kids are talking about. Hey guys, I say, you want to play Rock Band? Sure. So they bring out:
An XBox control
A microphone
Two guitars
A drum set (complete with homemade bass drum pedal)
...
A disco ball
A strobe light
A FOG MACHINE.

I'm entirely* sold on the game. {

• *by "entirely" I mean like 90%, because the strength of this game really depends on the songs- it's a lot more fun if you have a good song. And now I know they're never going to make a "21st-Century-Indie-Pop-Hero (Plus Some 90's)*" (with accordion so you can play along with Beirut, the Decemberists, and They Might Be Giants), and given that, they've made a pretty decent song list! See:
• "Go with the Flow" by Queens of the Stone Age
• "Suffragette City" by David Bowie
• "Roam" by the B-52's
• "Maps" by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs
• and freakin' "Electric Version" by the New Pornographers! {
• why won't they? You can imagine them releasing the API (or whatever you'd call it) for making a song, and people making their own songs and playing them on Rock Band. Why not?
• }

(I guess I want code blocks in my blog posts. Who knew?)

Also, apparently you can buy a fog machine, strobe light, and disco ball as a Rock Band accessory. When Aaron and Greg heard about this, they reportedly said, screw that, we already own a fog machine, strobe light, and disco ball. --> Aaron and Greg are heroes.
