All Hail… This Kid
Why should you hail this kid?
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)
