describing this as cheating is ridiculous anyway, as if it were easier than just playing the song.]]>Apr 21st 2008 3:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/guitar-hero-hack-takes-cheating-to-ridiculous-new-levels/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/guitar-hero-hack-takes-cheating-to-ridiculous-new-levels/Apr 22nd 2008 4:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/guitar-hero-hack-takes-cheating-to-ridiculous-new-levels/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/guitar-hero-hack-takes-cheating-to-ridiculous-new-levels/
Since when does the level of difficulty involved in cheating make it not cheating anymore? Your logic doesn't make sense. It's not like he's maliciously cheating, but he's still achieving a false score through exploiting the hardware, and last I checked that counted as "cheating."]]>Apr 21st 2008 5:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/guitar-hero-hack-takes-cheating-to-ridiculous-new-levels/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/guitar-hero-hack-takes-cheating-to-ridiculous-new-levels/Best comment I've ever seen]]>Apr 21st 2008 5:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/guitar-hero-hack-takes-cheating-to-ridiculous-new-levels/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/guitar-hero-hack-takes-cheating-to-ridiculous-new-levels/its a wii version of the game. not 360. ]]>Apr 21st 2008 5:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/guitar-hero-hack-takes-cheating-to-ridiculous-new-levels/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/guitar-hero-hack-takes-cheating-to-ridiculous-new-levels/
I'd love to have a dad like that. My dad is an electronics engineer. He's invented lots of devices and has many patents under his name, so totally has skills to do something like this... but he won't touch video games. I'd love to bond with my dad over stuff like this... I commend this father.

I'm Speechless.

It's relative for the son to beat the father. I use to do it my father with Madden 95 constantly. I guess my father didn't put his electronic engineering skills to good use, then again.

Also this is quite an ingenious way of doing this, looks like it was done specifically to avoid modding the console.]]>Apr 21st 2008 3:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/guitar-hero-hack-takes-cheating-to-ridiculous-new-levels/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/guitar-hero-hack-takes-cheating-to-ridiculous-new-levels/
Of course, people could put randomness in to their cheats & the resulting escalation will become harder to detect... but considering there's no money involved yet, and fame won't be achievable unless people see you play live, I'm not worried yet.]]>Apr 21st 2008 4:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/guitar-hero-hack-takes-cheating-to-ridiculous-new-levels/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/guitar-hero-hack-takes-cheating-to-ridiculous-new-levels/The statistical analysis wouldn't work at all. What if a friend comes over to help you get past a difficult song? Or you practice at a friend's place and come back to it with a better knowledge of the song? I'd hate to get banned for any of those "cheats".]]>Apr 21st 2008 5:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/guitar-hero-hack-takes-cheating-to-ridiculous-new-levels/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/guitar-hero-hack-takes-cheating-to-ridiculous-new-levels/Apr 21st 2008 5:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/guitar-hero-hack-takes-cheating-to-ridiculous-new-levels/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/guitar-hero-hack-takes-cheating-to-ridiculous-new-levels/Apr 21st 2008 6:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/guitar-hero-hack-takes-cheating-to-ridiculous-new-levels/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/guitar-hero-hack-takes-cheating-to-ridiculous-new-levels/

It’s kind of funny to search for this on YouTube. You’ll get a mix of some people playing it in GH, and some people who actually went out and learned the song on a real guitar. Based on these videos, you can infer something very interesting and personal: You can make a very educated guess as to who will be experiencing meaningful contact with the opposite sex in the near future and who won’t.
