Minnesota - home of THE Guitar Hero

And from my hometown no less. http://www.startribune.co...tainment/tv/16645251.htmlWhen it comes to Guitar Hero, a Minnesota teenager is on top of the world -- no strings attached.
Chris Chike, 16, is the Guinness World Record holder for the highest score for a song on the video game "Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock."
In New York City on Tuesday, competing against other gamers, Chike, of Rochester, earned 870,647 points -- or 97 percent completion on Expert Level -- for the song "Through the Fire and Flames" by DragonForce.
.............Chike said in interview with the Rochester Post-Bulletin that he has gotten a higher score playing at home. He also told the newspaper that he used to play four to five hours a day, but not so much anymore because it's not as challenging.  mom.and.dad.surrender. |

How apropos that the champion of a game that lets you fantasize about being a real-life rock star comes from a state that fantasizes about having a real-life football team.

Impressive to say the least, but I don't see it overshadowing the Darwin Ball of Twine.

Fine if you want to go that route. How many times did the cowgirls beat the gints and the queens? |
