Everyone started hoarding plastic instruments, every game store started up local and regional tournaments, a 16-year old named Blake from North Carolina dropped out of school to play the game full-time. Music game mania hit its fever pitch in 2007, with the dual release of Guitar Hero 3 and Rock Band.
