Guitar Hero Geekery

Geeks like computer games.
Geeks like building stuff.
Geeks like writing software.
Geeks like retro computing.
Geeks like to win at everything.

Geeks like Guitar Hero.

Here's what happens when we put all of these together.

1. Slashbot
Slashbot is the creation of some engineering students from Texas, and is a fully mechanical solution to automating Guitar Hero. We've already got some solutions that just fire off signals to the game, having hacked the controller - but this bot just reads the notes from the screen, and then physically presses the buttons on the controller. Very cool stuff.

2. Shredz64
Shredz64 is about bringing the whole Guitar Hero experience to the Commodore 64. Click that link to watch a couple of videos, but this should give you an idea of what we're dealing with:



3. Lego Guitar Hero
Ever wanted a Lego Guitar Hero Controller? No - me neither. But it's still farking cool that someone's gone to the trouble of making one, and that it's fully functional and playable.

No subject-specific geekery can ever be completed without answering the age-old question - Will It Blend?
