Honor student and amazing at games? His lunch money is mine.

You stay away from him, I need that money to build my robot army.

Nice choice of words! "Kind of Important". Yeah. If Guitar Hero is considered important, Paris Hilton is a fucking genius.

"I never expected to break a world record on something that is kind of important,"

Only a 12 year old can get away with thinking that

Go look at the view counts of guitar hero vids on youtube. Clearly it is serious business.
Oh and I agree about the whole lighten up thing, just ignore it if you REALLY don't care.

I don't know why I bothered to register just to feed the trolls, but here goes:
1) There are probably a dozen articles on this very website that explain how many Guitar Hero players don't give a damn if they can't play a real guitar.
2) The kid is 12. He'll find something constructive to do with his talents regardless.
3) http://www.scorehero.com/rankings.php?group=9&game=0&platform=0&size=1&inst1=1&inst=1&tier=9&diff=4&song=259 Welcome to 66th place, kid.

Why did First Coast News report on this?

He should get a guitar. It's what you do after you play Guitar Hero.

If by that you mean you are one of these believers of "being good at guitar hero makes you good at real guitar" then I'm sorry, that is totally wrong. Although it would be better if he did now, try to learn it atleast.

No, I don't believe that and stop flaming me. I did so and now I can play my favorite songs for real.

No it's not. When you reach the top of Guitar Hero you go and buy some Heroin Hero.

And then some Rehab Hero.

It is to completly diffrent things.

Guitar Hero skills =/= Guitar skills. Really.

OT: Good for him! I'll never be that good, but then again. I never play Guitar Hero so...

I know it's different because I play guitar myself and I have played Guitar Hero. Stop flaming me you (Strange?) people, I never said it was the same.

 

[Darkmark44]

Good for him.

Cool, anyway sorry, I just hate it when people think that. It's wrong by the way =P

"You just achieved One Million points on Guitar Hero: YOU! ARE! FAGS!"

 

[Valiance]

World record, huh?

How do you explain this?

That's from Guitar Hero Metallica btw.

Oh, and I think the highest score on TTFAF is about 980K.

 

[Jim Grim]

Holy... He does actually play some kind of REAL instrument, right? If not then I'm gonna be really annoyed for reasons I don't fully understand.

Because you see him getting publicity for something you see no value in.

Oh thanks for clearing that up for me. I understand myself better thanks to you. Big thumbs up buddy.

 

[megamanenm]

What's with all the hate? I seriously expected more from the Escapist... And I really don't see why he should buy a real guitar, to me it's just another toy. (Why do I feel like I'm going to get flamed for this?)

 

[Gaderael]

Good for him. He's an honour student, so it's not like it's hurting his grades. I wish I had that kind of gamer skills when I was twelve. Hell, I wish I had those skills now! I think it'd be awesome to be entered into the Guinness Book of Records for something game related.

 

[Mr. Purple]

Wow. Who's idea was it to have world records for Guitar hero?
