If only it was a real guitar... then he could have made at least a mediocre career out of it. This is just stupid.

His parents are probably drug addicts

microsoft4life

They had him enrolled in a Christian school so I don't think they're drug addicts..

Just because there Christian doesnt stop them from being drug addicts. It could happen to anyone

See, this kid threw away a potential career, so the ultimate irony would be in him losing to a casual gamer with a successful life.

That aint workin, that's the way you do it. You play your guitar on your living room TV. We gotta move these refrigerators, we Gotta install microwave ovens. Custom kitchen deliverery.

I can just picture it. He goes in for a job interview and they ask him what his skills are so he says. "Check out these sick jams, nobody rocks four buttons like I do." Then they tell him to get the **** out and take his prehistoric game console and piece of **** guitar with him.

But he shows them. He starts a Guitar Hero coverband and gigs at... at... Roller World or a laser tag arena. Maybe even Chuck E Cheese's or an arcade, but of course that implies nobody else can jam like he can, with a toy guitar.

someone should tie him down and play the south park guitar hero episode for him.. this is rediculous.. the parents need to be beat with some blunt object for letting this happen.

i agree with many, if it was a real guitar he couldve at least got along in life and possibly joined a good band somewhere down the line.. but 20 years from now.. guitar hero?.... i doubt even 5% of pro sponsored wow / counterstrike/ dota / exc... players have that as their only job... ud have to be fatality to be able to make it your life...

looking at that article reminded me of how it was like when i played wow and didnt pay as much attention to school as i shouldve, except amplified by OVER 9000 times.

(Im guessing Highschool is America's College/University, so hold on a second, what's the big deal here! So he dropped out of Highschool and earned loads of money on Guitar Hero. Fantastic! Well played, he can go back and study later in life if he wants. Now he has the funding the pay his way through his education so he wouldn't have to work out any depts. Look at me! I had to leave college and never got to university as I needed to start work to earn money to live! So where's my tabloid! Not everyone gets to appreciate higher education!

Never-the-less. I would of of stayed in education giving the choice. But I don't think this is a big deal at all.

I know, with the amount of time he spends playing a game about playing a guitar, he could probably learn to play a real one.

It's more or less the fact that his parents are expecting him to make money off of it. Real guitar = more money to be made than GH.

Exactly, he would make a better living playing the real damn instrument.

Even if he did manage to make some decent cash, he'd have to develop prodigious skills for numerous future releases in order to maintain the career. If not, he'll end up without a high school diploma living off some meager to moderate (if any) winnings. That's where the fail really comes full circle.
