Geek Kid: Guitar Hero + Rubik’s Cubes No Problem

February 15, 2011 By gecko

I swear, kids are getting smarter and smarter these days. And more than being smart, they got skills, too! Check out this kid, whom people are raving about these days. The video has been getting tons of hits on YouTube and it looks very much real to me.

As you can see, the kid plays Mr. Crowley on Guitar Hero, on Expert mode no less. Not impressed? Watch. He plays the song with his elbows. Yes, his hands are busy with something else. While he plays the song, he goes on to solve one of the most popular puzzles there is – the Rubik’s Cube.

Just like those endless infomercials, here’s the part where I say “But wait, there’s more!” Not only does he solve one, but he solves two Rubik’s Cubes. This is exactly what happens by the time JRefleX93 – yeah, that’s his online name – finishes with old Mr. Crowley. Impressed yet?

In the interest of fairness, JRefleX93 does not get a hundred percent on the song. He does get a decent 77%, though. I am pretty sure that not everyone who calls himself a geek can get a 100 percent playing this song on expert. Using his hands. Without using his elbows. Without having to solve a Rubik’s Cube.

So what is this achievement going to do for JRefleX93? The heck should I know! all I can say is that this video is pretty impressive and fun to watch when I do not have anything else to do.

PlayStation 3 Slim: A Review

September 13, 2009 By noemi

Sony_PS3_SlimI finally got it. Friday night, I left work a little early to brave the heavy traffic and the rain. Two days before that, I had called the local games supplier which I always get my consoles and games from, and they told me that they had a shipment of the PS3 Slim coming in the next day. All were already reserved, but they might have an extra unit for me. Thursday night, I got a text message telling me that I could pick my unit up. Oh, joy!

So, in spite of the rain and the cab drivers who make their passengers’ lives hell, I decided not to wait till Saturday to go. Needless to say, the moment I got the unit, I went straight home and lovingly set it up. It’s been almost two whole days of having the PS3 unit now – what’s my verdict?

Initial thoughts – I couldn’t believe how cheap the PS3 Slim is! My first PS3 (60G bundled with MotorStorm) cost me double the price of the Slim! That is why I had to double check the price with the saleslady and I had to make sure it was the US version.

Regarding the looks, well, it is definitely much smaller, thinner, and lighter. Sony did not exaggerate about the size and weight. I have to admit that I am still getting used to seeing a flatter black thing beside the TV, but it still is a pretty sight. Some people complain about the matte finishing (the original one had a sleek glossy finish), but I think it is just as nice – no danger of fingerprint smudges on this baby.

The performance? It is very very quiet! With the sounds from the TV and other ambient sounds, I cannot hear the PS3 at all! The gaming experience has not changed much at all; at least from what I have seen playing GTA, NFS Prostreet, and Guitar Hero – but that is hardly anything to complain about. With a 120G hard drive at this price, the PS3 Slim is definitely worth it.
