Zen and the Art of Guitar Hero 220
An anonymous reader writes "Julian Murdoch over at GamersWithJobs.com has what can only be described as a piece of liturgy, proclaiming a religious experience at his local Best Buy as he watches someone beat 'Through the Fire and the Flames' on Expert in Guitar Hero 3. 'At 6 minutes in, a small crowd has formed, perhaps 15 of us. His sravaka — his disciples — look nervously at us, absorbing the distractions, protecting him a bubble of calm. There is complete silence. Even my son is staring slackjawed, like he does in church during communion, not understanding the content of the ritual but understanding the tone and sacredness of the space.'"

Especially if said someone is a cute girl (or guy, depending on how your attractions lie).
But, then again, most games weren't meant to be watched, they were meant to be played.
Prince of Persia is an exception.

Probably not, but it's still a talking tree, and that's worth something.

Including the game that is woman. I know the objective but have yet to score.
To tell you the truth, I don't even understand the rules.

So, combining two colossal wastes of time, music burnouthood and video games, into one and labeling those who do it as "heroes" isn't enough? Now you're intertwining yet another reason to sit around doing nothing?

Well, the human body can be drained of blood in 8.6 seconds given adequate vaccuuming systems, so you ought be careful not to annoy your audience too much
Part of the problem with telling inside jokes is that people will mistake it for trolling or madness or something. Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time. You usually have to spend your time defending your post -- "No, I have not been corrupted by the 'big city!'
You are a fear prisoner. Yes, you are a product of fear. Pride is all very well, but a sausage is a sausage. Still, I would defend my posts at all costs. How can you do that? I can do anything I want. Go on, prove me wrong. Destroy the fabric of the universe. See if I care. I kid, of course. Bringing about armageddon can be dangerous. Do not attempt it in your home.
When's this gonna stop? You should already know that.
