    This is a lot better than that Bike Hero video. I kinda wish they had this at an event or theme park so I could test my skill. #diyfootballguitarhero

    Nice!
    This could also be applied as technology for amputees to command a robotic hand or something.

    Or enhance it to make a glove that reads muscle hands to produce some sort of keyless keyboard? #electromyograph

    Pfft, what a lame waste of time. If these guys put half as much effort into kicking soccer balls at a real guitar as they did this, they'd have learned a real skill and could make music instead of just doing some repetitive ball kicking. #diyfootballguitarhero

    Apparently you can't produce anything anymore without filming it's production, and then including that in the final footage.

    I'll preface future comments with a video link of me reading the Giz article, thinking, preparing my witty comment, and then typing it out furiously on the keyboard. The comment itself will be mediocre as usual, but the production value will be fantastic! #diyfootballguitarhero

    They look like they're having a ball! But I could never get my kicks this way. That's why I just use the 'net to achieve all my goals and post them on line in a forward-thinking manner. Or sometimes I just wing it. Except for that one morning when I had mismatched footwear. That sock err had me seeing red all day. I was such a card! #diyfootballguitarhero

    In reply to Polk HitMaster "Monitor" Means Inexplicable Faux Instrument Arms Race Actually Exists
    Still, Polk makes some good point in the press release.
    "most games are played through standard TV speakers, which are dismal at best."
    "Music games like Beatles Rock Band® are rightfully cited for sounding as good if not better than the original releases, so why play them through toys or TVs? A high quality recording deserves a real speaker that reveals all the beauty of the original master, and this is exactly what HitMaster provides."
    They may look garish, but I have to agree with Polk on this one. #polk

    @Bluecold: Those would be great points if Polk was making something other than only-slightly-better-than-crappy-TV speakers...$100 for a powered monitor is going buy you a really crappy monitor...this is a toy, no way around it. #polk

    I'm going to cry and get all nostalgic for real musicians when, sometime in the far-too-near future, my kids start going to see bands with names like, "The Real Fake Band", who just play Guitar Hero type stuff on stage, with ridiculous accessories to make it LOOK like a real concert. #polk
