Guitar Hero + X-mas lights = "You Rock"
giantsquid | 12:35 AM on 12.26.2007 8 comments


Some creative developer at NI using NI DAQ synced a bunch of Christmas Lights to his Guitar Hero guitar.



It's a good quality video, and it was nice of them to explain it. Only time will tell if this spawns a wave of G-mas light displays, but chances are no since Christmas is all but over.

I did notice that while he sure was creative, his display seems a bit haphazard in places, and at times resembling tendrils from a cheesy horror movie or live action anime.

you have a cool name.
giantsquid's Destructoid Blog
Thanks. It goes way back. Something about me and friends having nicknames based on what we think is the fiercest animal in the world.

And, in case I missed the digital sarcasm- Thanks.

Cheeburga, I don't like to start or fuel unimportant flame wars, but is a person not allowed to make one single mistake? or faux pas? Is it one strike your out? One faux pas and you deserve shit?

And I have every right to defend myself you fuck. As a matter of fact, I win moral victory and could claim righteous indignation on you and the other who harassed me about that.

The very post where you saw to give me shit, was posted on the front fucking page of Destructoid, not 24 hrs later. In addition to it, some of you fucks who gave me a hard time, saw fit to comment on THEIR post as if it was another post worthy of your words.

And for the seeing/thinking impaired, everything I said can be easily corroborated as all posts and comments are date/time stamped(in case you didn't realize that because as if your previous comments weren't stupid enough, you had to lay insult to injury on yourself by commenting above).

You FAIL, in such a glorious fashion, that I doubt any would be flamer/hater/instigator could even come close to it had they given their best hate filled attempt.

Even if you get 1,000 people to throw hate at me, in boo whoo baby retaliation, and even if I get banned, it doesn't fucking matter. The truth is the truth, and you guys and I know it. You didn't use your fucking brains. Period. Some people I don't know, probably will never know, aren't worth this amount of time and energy, so I admit I fail for wasting my time on this and you.

But you can't take back time, and you'll always know that you did one of the dumbest things I have personally not seen in a long time. Behind all the heightened emotion, it is kinda funny.

ZOMG INTERNET FIGHT!

Seriously, if you're that pissed off that someone insulted you over the internet, then GTFO. Its just the interwebs. PROTIP: It doesnt really matter in the scheme of things

King3vbo: Your right, and thanks for adding an objective viewpoint.

The Gambler also taught me a hard life lesson, long ago- You gotta know when to hold 'em.

Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?

 about me

Wondering hobo on a sabbatical trying to find his degree so he can travel to the land of sushi, kawaii girls, and Ken Kutaragi(you may have won the battle but who haven't won the war Ken ~shakes fist in air malevolently~).

When not writing for NGG, or EP, Giantsquid occasionally updates his blog Emergency Trap, watches cheesy scifi movies and shows, talks on the phone(longer than most of the female persuasion), and discusses issues of etymology and linguistics with himself.

He vows to one day get some sun on his ghost white, baby soft skin(but it probably won't happen as long as he has access to a controller and his laptop).

GiantSquid loves RPG's and currently is into old-school ones like NISA and Atlus localize to his lovely country of the U.S. from his future home of Japan. Win-win for him. ~Grin~

Send your unfailing love and adoration to him(he loves it and it makes him feel special), but please refrain from sending him used socks, dirty underwear, spoiled milk, or anything else smelly.
