We frequently like to joke that people who show remarkable adeptness at Guitar Hero are actually robots, but as you might imagine, we don't really mean it. However, after viewing a recent video (posted after the jump) showing a young man who not only plays through Ozzy Osborne's "Mr. Crowley" on Expert, but solves two Rubik's cubes while doing so, the only logical explanation we can come to is that his deft hands and keen mind must be composed of wires, servos and cold, unfeeling steel.
By the way, if you happen to speak ill of this young automaton's abilities due to his only receiving a score of 77 percent on the song, we're going to punch you in the heart. We may even call you a "stupid jerk," depending on how much of our ire you end up evoking.
Yea, it's an alright story, but the video is now fun. I'm not going to be one of the people who says that he ONLY got 77% while solving a Rubiks cube, I know it's impressive, it's just not entertaining or interesting to watch.
What they don't show you is that he actually has his shoes off and is writing his dissertation on quantum mechanics with is feet. Playing GH while solving Rubik's Cubes is the only way he can concentrate.
A wizard? Hardly. In fact, I usually solve both cubes simultaneously with both hands while strumming with my toes. Don't get me wrong, though, kid's got a little talent...
Call me a jerk, but this kid is fucking nuts. If you have that much time on your hand to perfect this circus act, you're an idiot just starving for attention. Vote me down all you want, It's impressive but a waste of a talented ability of hand-eye coordination and multitasking.
Imagine what he could accomplish if he learned to play a real guitar...
Ok, let me elaborate a bit. I play guitar, and I do play Guitar Hero and Rockband... except the guitar part. I like to sing in it or play drums. Not guitar, since I don't see the point in playing along with a fake one if I can actually play along with music with my real guitar.
That's just me though, I understand alot of guitar players feel different about it.
Oh and Sprinkles, you clearly missed the point that I tried to make in my initial post. Also, you might want to change that name cause you're just begging for a ban or instant downvote, unless you really are Sprinkles. If that's the case, drinking gasoline is an option.
Ok, as long as you guys calling this kid a loser aren't the same people who think the "5 minutes through the original mario" guys are cool then whatever.
I think this is pretty cool! Go Guitar Hero Harry Potter, go!
because it's FUN and it's not called a call for attention it's just entertainment. you could argue any entertainment is just attention grabbing. this is what youtube is! maybe he doesn't want to learn to play guitar; maybe this is fun and would provide entertainment to the masses
matthew bellamy is hardly legendary. good? yes. famous? to an extent. legendary? not at all. jimi hendrix is legendary. jimmy page is legendary. eddie van halen is legendary. not bellamy (at yet at least).
He said in the very beginning that he spent a few hours over a couple of weeks. So he really didn't spend that much time and for all we know he's infiltrating Al-Queda's base as we type.
That's because "No guitarist has become legendary in the past decade" is an idiotic statement. That's the whole point of becoming legendary! It doesn't happen in five or ten years. The people mentioned above have been around for decades - Muse has only been around for a few years. Give it time.
For fuck's sake man, people can be good at more than one thing.
We have a LOT of time in our lives. Plenty of time for diversions that are done just for fun. Plenty of people put just as much time and talent into drawing stuff they never plan on doing anything with other than throwing into a bin under their bin.
Not to mention, with the time most of us here spend playing videogames and posting on online blogs we could all probably be accomplishing plenty of stuff that actually means something, but it probably wouldn't be, you know, fun.
What the hell is with people's crazy notion that every waking second of a person's life has to be spent accomplishing something for the greater good, and how the hell are you spending enough time playing videogames to post on a game blog if that's what you do?
Imagine what he could do if he played a real guiter? Who the fuck cares? There are about 2 billion people in the world that play guitar and nobody knows who 1.999999999 billion of them are. There's only one person that's ever played through a guitar hero song on expert while solving two rubic's cubes. And who's to say he doesn't also play real guitar anyway?
There's nothing wrong with having a really weird talent or a cool story to share with people. I doubt this kid's life revolves around Guitar Hero so much that it's detrimental and/or a big waste of time. People do a lot worse with their free time.
How dare you be arguing about crap on the internet. If you have that kind of time on your hands to mindlessly type rubbish into a keyboard, you should be writing a thesis, or a novel. Not that anyone should be allowed to read a novel, because if they've got time to waste reading fiction, they could be forcing cold hard facts into their brain.
Vote me down all you want, but it's a waste of a good pair of typing hands and quite a few useful words.
Imagine what you could accomplish if you learned to write shakespearian prose...
THIS GUY IS WASTING HIS LIFE BY SOLVING A RUBIX CUBE AND PLAYING GUITAR HERO AT THE SAME TIME AND IM NOT A HYPOCRITE IN ANYWAY BY SITTING HERE AND POSTING SHITTY COMMENTS ON JOYSTIQ.
Whoa. First of all, this kid plays better on Expert with his elbow than I can do on Hard with my hands. Second, let's not forget he's also apparently playing this by watching the reflection of it in that mirror at the beginning.
