R.I.P Guitar Hero

That's right, no sooner did your dad finally master the licks for "Paradise City" than the makers of Guitar Hero, Activision Blizzard Inc., announced they would be discontinuing the game after a healthy six year run.
The company also makes the uber-popular Call of Duty series, so it's not like they are hurting for money. And given that most "bands" today play synthetic instruments, it was likely getting harder and harder to find popular songs with a guitar track attached.
So, farewell Guitar Hero, the world, especially Twitter users it seems, will miss you....
