Guitar Hero or Rock Band with short-term and long-term effects. Symptoms include:
1. Temporary visual distortion of everything off-screen, caused by the
vertical motion of the game, causing a trippy, disorienting effect
2. Soreness of the wrists and shoulders from extreme strumming and fingering.
3. Having a knowledge of rock and alternative limited only to the songs featured in
Guitar Hero.

tripping balls just from
playing Guitar Hero."

guitar hero syndrome.
2. "God, my wrists hurt. I shouldn't have played 'Through the Fire and Flames'."
3. Friend: "You know Even Flow by Pearl Jam? That's my favorite band!"
You: "Yeah, but it's only because I played Guitar Hero."
Friend: "Pfff."
