Hurray For National Drinking Day

GHIII St. Patty's Day

So, if you have no bar hopping plans for National Drinking Day, grab some buddies and have an impromptu party at your place and celebrate with a pint and play some Guitar Hero. We Do Not Condone Underage Drinking. To add to the fun, Activision id hooking up the cut for GH players by giving them three FREE downloads for the game. Quite Nice of them. Still doesn't make up for their past actions, but you know what, it's a start. I'd say download and check 'em out. It is the right price for anyone that has never heard or has nothing else to do on National Drinking Day. Here are the songs:

  • Famous for Nothing
  • (F)lannigan's Ball
  • Johnny, I Hardly Knew Ya

And here is the release in case you were wondering it's validity.
