Activision's main goal in life is to but things and make them suck, and the only franchise they had not ruined yet was guitar hero. In order to do this, they first bought a time machine from the Cheetos Cheetah and traveled back in time to Harmonix land, a land of giant unnatural guitar controller-shaped trees and different colored plastic buttons. Just as future Harmonix CEO Alex "Mesa Boogie Hero" Rigopolis had the idea for making Guitar Hero, Activision coffee boy Bobby "$$$$$" Kotick killed him with a myung tackle and stole the idea. However, the amount of caffeine in young Bobby's brain totally killed it and by the time he had warped back to the future he had already screwed it up. He was unable to talk and after Activision gave him a computer and a pen[is] he talked about creating a game called Guitar Hero. However, instead of typing an "e" on his keyboard he accidentally hit a "3", causing the developers to create Guitar Hero 3 without making 1 and 2. He also drew ugly looking versions of slash and tom morrelo that the developers then put into the game. Slash attempted to stop the game by borrowing Nigel Turfwad's amp, but Bobby trapped him inside this -> -> Octavarium with a soul gem and he hasn't been seen since. However Bobby's plan backfired when someone else formed Harmonix and created the kick-ass game Rock Band. The only problem was that by the time the game got out Guitar Hero had already taken over the basement nerds (who made up %99.9999495959494 percent of the games demographic) who were trying to, as local nerd Ben Beberleche put it "FC TTFAF" by "TPPPNG" with his "GTR". Bobby assumed that he had won, and decided to copy Rock Band with Guitar Hero: Basement Tour. In order to make the game look original, Activision detroyed everything that had been good about the game (characters, songs, etc.) and instead asked Michael Jackson to record covers for the tracklist. Notable additions in the game include U2, Ashley Tisdale, Alvin and The Chimpunks, and Vanilla Ice.
