Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 



I had to watch this video several times before posting it -- not because my jaw was on the floor, but trying to figure out whether it was real or not, or the results of some insane video splicer trying to make everyone that plays Guitar Hero feel bad about themselves. Despite my matlocking, I couldn't find anything, but you GH scientists may be able to find something, so I'm posting it for your perusal.

I can't help but wonder, would I like Ben Eberle in person? He seems happy at the end, but maybe also like he might turn into one of those kids that never stops bragging. He kind of has the right if this is the real deal, but it also kind of makes you want to throw him out a window, you know?

The kids gots some skills. Im sure there was a lot of dedication that went into being that good. I dont really think the kid was being smug at all he was just excited to be doing good and he has probably some proud parent tapeing him and chearing him on. But who would expect a child not to smile if they did good in anything (sports,videogames,school etc) especially when they are getting praised for it.

If my fingers could move that fast, I’d be so much better at playing the real guitar and piano. Bah. Slow genes are slow.

He should totally play a real guitar. Anyone who can get that good at something should be doing something more useful.

GH2 had the same hammeron code, just easier in GH3 (looser?) Ben rocks, hate the song, but hell I passed it on Medium, I consider that a pass on Expert for me.

Friend of mine does all these games blindfolded/performance mode, but he works at Red Octane. Imagine having to play that song over and over all day long?

Crazy.

And I can't even use the orange fret. I hate this kid, but it's ok because I'm not writing this on Christmas.

Holy crap.

The mindboggling awesome-ity effect is somewhat hampered by his insane grin and the fact that he waves at the camera like a douche.
