14-Year-Old Breaks Guitar Hero III Record

[Isengard]

Danny Johnson, a 14-year-old from Texas, is the latest gamer to break a world record in Activision's Guitar Hero III, earning himself an endorsement deal in the process.

Johnson managed to pull down 973,954 points on Dragonforce's "Through The Fire And Flames" during a "media-sponsored" event at a Best Buy in New York City, topping the previous record of 899,703 set by Minnesota's Chris Chike, reports The New York Times.

I agree. Honestly, I can't understand the Guitar Hero games or the fun in it. Well, fun, sure, I played Frets On Fire for PC a while back and it's quite fun, but the amount of time you have to spend playing to make a score like that is like...retarded...I prefer playing my real guitar.
