Yes, this is another one of those projects aimed at bringing Guitar Hero-style rhythm action to the real world.
Kasabian Football Hero, as it's been dubbed, involves soccer balls being kicked at vibration sensors to the tune of freeware Guitar Hero PC clone Frets on Fire. It's absolutely crazy to the point where I'm at a loss for words.
All I know is that you should watch the video of it in action. I can't help but wonder where the inspiration for this massive undertaking came from.
Jordan Devore is Destructoid's PC gaming manager and founding ginger editor. He is said to be easy to love but difficult to know. When Samit inquired about his curious bio photo Jordan simply replied: "bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

This, the one where the class made their classroom into a Bomberman virtual reality game, and anything else similar to these, will always make me smile. Great video.
I don't know, maybe I would have been more impressed if they would have actually hit all of the notes at the right times, the whole thing looked very sloppy to me ... but I have to admit the technical aspect is amazing.
The soccer players could have done it better though.
Wow, it's like an American action movie! I'm pretty sure there's something awesome going on, but there's too many camera moves and cuts and transitions to see anything. Thanks, idiots.
Even if it is a publicity stunt it still looks cool. They shouldn't have moved the camera all over the place, because at some point I get dizzy. Those guys really have talent and I'd give them <a rel="follow" href="http://www.onlineticketexpress.com/event_list.php?team_id=12">Chelsea tickets</a> for their performance. It is a big deal to hit the same spot over and over again.

Cool video though!
It was just a guy riding a bike. They put the Guitar Hero-y bits on later with a computer. Like, anybody with a bike and Photoshop could've done that.
I guess I'm biased because I'm rather fond of soccer. :D
Don't worry, I wholeheartedly agree with you. garison is totally wrong.
