Because he just played a Guitar Hero song on Expert and solved two Rubik's Cubes at the same goddamn time. First of all, it would be kind of impressive to play a Guitar Hero song with one hand and an elbow, which is what this kid does. But to use the free hand to pick up, swap and solve two separate Rubik's Cube? That is out of this fucking world. Now, the kid doesn't get a perfect on the song -- actually he gets 77%, with a 51-note streak -- but that just proves to me that the video is real, and this kid really just performed this amazing feat of nerdery.
Well done, kid. I hope to god you know some nerdy girls who will reward you appropriately for your magnificence. You have earned it. (Via Geekologie)

Wow....where do you get a rubix cube that moves so nicely though? I can't solve mine much less manipulate it one handed. I don't think I've ever seen one with white plastic before.

I've been seeing this vid all over the place over the weekend, and with each viewing I am more and more jealous of him...

To quote GOB Bluth: COME ON!
There's no reason for me to pick up a music/rhythm game ever again after seeing this.
And NOBODY better post a video showing someone playing a fighting game while solving a puzzle...unless it is, say, the Lament Configuration.

Well it looks impressive, but almost too much so. It's amazing enough to solve one Rubik's cube one handed, but two all in the course of one song?
Reminds me of this old Mythbuster's vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6C9Xuxs-8L4
Which looks crazy authentic, but they said that they took a solved cube, scrambled it and played the video backwards to make it look like they took a scrambled one and solved it.

Wow, at the very least I think that's enough to get you into the Legion of Substitute Heroes

What the boy now needs is to learn playing a real music instrument like that. Then his college years will make the Hef look like virgin

@yamieridani
If you use a Rubik's Cube enough it eventually gets loose enough that the sides can turn very smoothly. That level of smoothness is actually required for the ridiculous 12 second solution times that some of these kids are putting out.

He's had the time to practise this, so no, he doesn't.

Good job. I can barely finish songs on medium skill (I'm really that bad), and it takes me about 10 minutes to solve the rubix.

Wow....that's awesome.
But if I could give that kid one tip:
I think it would add some extra "showmanship" polish & cool factor if , while waiting to switch cubes, he used the first solved cube (the edge of one of the sides) as a guitar pick. Y'know, instead of just holding the cube doing nothing with it while strumming with his elbow.
Still, big applause for this guy.

And he's still gonna get his ass kicked after Gym Class. It's a fucked up world we live in where something like this will get you beaten up and without poonani. Good job kid, but like I said tough times await you boy.

I'm surprised he's not Japanese, honestly. Very impressive.

but it's only two patterns he had to memorize...you guys don't give yourselves enough credit...if you took the time to learn this trick i'm sure you could do it too. it's impressive, but it isn't the most amazing thing i have ever seen. just saying.
