Hi! I'm a tech guy, skeptic, feminist, gamer and atheist, and love OSS and science of all stripes. I enjoy a good bit of whargarbl now and again, and will occasionally even seek it out. I am also apparently responsible for the death of common sense on the internet. My bad.
I have opinions. So do you. You want to share them with me. I would like to do likewise. Please don't expect a platform for proselytizing that will go unchecked and unchallenged, though. Contact me via the clicky thingies under my banner.
The commenting rules are simple: don't piss me off. This rule has worked for me for a decade; I have never found a need for any other rule, because any other rules leads to rules-lawyering. Just remember --
this is my property, not yours.
completely and utterly ridiculous… and time consuming… and i’m envious…
I know… me too. I can’t even begin to imagine the number of relays and amount of computer control that would be necessary for the light show to work. And the amount of fiddling it would take to get it all to work.
The more I watch this, the more I figure the light show is independent from the Wii and just timed to sync up to a “perfect play”, then for the video the kid was just playing the light display which is a duplicate of the notes on the real display. Now, if you could fail to hit a note, and the light show acted appropriately, that would be BEYOND epic.
Holy hell. It IS programmed to branch based on flubs. This Youtube video had a perfect game, yes, but apparently nobody has gotten perfect because the timing is weird on the light display and doesn’t match up with the game perfectly. It could be this was a demo-mode perfect game that was recorded previously and the kid was just faking it for the showmanship.
