- kiegh, on 12/26/2007, -7/+5You could win a Christmas light house decorating contest doing this and playing in your front yard for all the kids in the neighborhood. Waiting for that video on YouTube.
- mungins, on 12/26/2007, -33/+34Frets on Fire is crap.
- MikeWanDo, on 12/26/2007, -3/+33... because?
- aerofan897, on 12/26/2007, -3/+12Frets is a great free adaptation of Guitar Hero, and just as fun to play if you're not going to play against other people. The only problem is now that I'm used to playing with a keyboard, I have to play Guitar Hero with the guitar on my lap, which looks ridiculous. :/
- Skanadian, on 12/26/2007, -0/+21Who the hell plays FoF with it on their desk? Pick it up and play it like a guitar!
- aerofan897, on 12/26/2007, -0/+3My keyboard has such small F keys making it almost impossible to use like that, so I remapped them to ASDF and the space bar.

- PunkRampant, on 12/26/2007, -6/+2Well, you get what you pay for.
- DarkPhoen1x, on 12/26/2007, -5/+2Yes, it is. GuitarZero is 10x better.
- BolognaFire, on 12/26/2007, -1/+4Guitar Zero is also a complete rip off of Guitar Hero. At least Frets tries to be creative.
- Smok3y, on 12/28/2007, -0/+1Guitar Zero is dead though. The similarities were taking it too far, probably legal trouble. Frets on Fire is still young... it will get better with time.
- doshindude, on 12/26/2007, -0/+2If you hate FoF, you obviously didn't play it long enough. First of all, it's infinitely better when you plug in the Xbox 360 Guitar via USB port. Secondly, FoF by itself doesn't cut it, install RFMod, get the Guitar Hero song rips, and you'll love the game instantly.
- MikeWanDo, on 12/26/2007, -3/+33... because?
- seanc6610, on 12/26/2007, -4/+35I'd flip a ***** if I had to work with people playing guitar hero and lights flashing all day in my office.
- CaviMike, on 12/26/2007, -0/+7Good thing you were on vacation.
- Waterproof, on 12/26/2007, -10/+3You could totally win some sort of retarded ***** contest with this setup.
- elkhead71, on 12/26/2007, -9/+6Awesome Idea, but damn did anyone else notice how much they suck playing the game?
- BrownBoognish, on 12/26/2007, -4/+6Just because they're playing on medium? Not everyone spends every second of their day playing videogames.
- jshrimp3, on 12/26/2007, -3/+3You would think that someone who's willing to spend so much time and effort doing all that would be a huge fan of the game. And you'd think someone who's a huge fan wouldn't suck balls.
- porterfield, on 12/26/2007, -1/+1It doesn't take "every second of [one's] day" to get past medium (or learn to strum in two directions). But you know what does? Setting up elaborate light arrays that react to your performance in a video game.
- BrownBoognish, on 12/26/2007, -4/+6Just because they're playing on medium? Not everyone spends every second of their day playing videogames.
- elkhead71, on 12/26/2007, -17/+1Awesome Idea! Bud damn did anyone else notice how much those guys sucked at the game?
- CaviMike, on 12/26/2007, -0/+5No but I noticed how much you suck at the internet.
- joepeg, on 12/26/2007, -3/+36Biggest. Nerd. Ever.
I wish I thought of it.- Veni_Vidi_Vici, on 12/26/2007, -7/+4No you don't.
- iceman35, on 12/26/2007, -12/+1someone has to much time on there hands and also might be loosing there job after their boss sees all the freakin lights in the office and them playing guitar hero
- tyywebb, on 12/26/2007, -0/+3I guess you have almost no time on your hands...not even enough to learn English.
- zmenchini, on 12/26/2007, -8/+1clearly this man needs to be fired, posthaste
- Tordenflesk, on 12/26/2007, -1/+5Fired for showing of the companys product?
- haxorjoe, on 12/26/2007, -11/+2Was this NOT just on the front page?
- zmenchini, on 12/26/2007, -3/+3was it not?
- ImOscar, on 12/26/2007, -0/+7Pretty cool. I work at the company that did this (National Instruments). I had no idea someone was working on this, I'll have to go find it and play. I've seen some other cool applications involving Super Mario Bros. and DDR.
- pnig, on 12/26/2007, -1/+1Yeah, when NI came to my school last year, they had a DDR setup that was pretty cool. Seemed like a really laid back company to work for. I was a little disappointed when they didn't call me back for a second interview...
- Phipman, on 12/26/2007, -1/+39I'd like to see the epilepsy that guy gets when he plays dragonforce
- havock, on 12/26/2007, -7/+2Why?
- GeorgeBurke, on 12/26/2007, -1/+12I would get fired if I pulled this crap. I would be the work god at this place.
- BrentyD, on 12/26/2007, -8/+3for those who've no self esteem this is the present for you

- Zezza, on 12/26/2007, -2/+1So was your mum last night.
- duke1981, on 12/26/2007, -14/+4Congratulations you are fags
- noobeffect, on 12/26/2007, -1/+6That was cool but had the whole setup been cleaner it would've much more impressive.
- hammerpants, on 12/26/2007, -0/+10Loved the shot on the box. Looks like you guys are gonna burn the place down with all that wiring. Awesome.
- KingGorilla, on 12/26/2007, -1/+22The plant in the corner is keeping the beat
- yacks, on 12/26/2007, -0/+12so that's where they used to stash Ringo....
- CaviMike, on 12/26/2007, -5/+2So THAT'S what he meant when he said the lights on the plant keep the beat. Thanks for clearing that up.
- mrgulabull, on 12/26/2007, -0/+4he was quoting a hilarious line
- mearom, on 12/26/2007, -0/+3we need to get that one little kid to play on this, put then all the litghts would appear on
- pgup, on 12/26/2007, -0/+8Needs more Trans-Siberian Orchestra.
- SystemError, on 12/26/2007, -3/+2Turn out the lights and give us a show, not this how much of a nerd you are crap!
- busthead, on 12/26/2007, -6/+3No way this guy has ever banged a girl under 180 lbs.
- Systembomber, on 12/26/2007, -2/+2So what? Maybe he's into women over 180lbs, each to theire own!
- Zezza, on 12/26/2007, -2/+2Ye he banged your mum.
- ginsengbomb, on 12/26/2007, -3/+2That...was really rather lame.
- Haiz, on 12/26/2007, -3/+2I see another Digg graveyard forming here...
- Archee, on 12/26/2007, -1/+1because his boss was away on vacation.. why else?
- TheMidnight, on 12/26/2007, -1/+1The house with all the Christmas lights was better.
- ashleyatx, on 12/26/2007, -1/+0National Instruments is the best company to work for ever.
- Gnarled, on 12/26/2007, -5/+0Please don't call it an ax.
- rcschamp55, on 12/26/2007, -6/+1wow who cares buried!!
- stikkitjim, on 12/26/2007, -1/+1/me is wishing he filled out his internship application to NI :(
- Th3_anOmoLy, on 12/26/2007, -4/+2Four words:
Too. Much. Free. Time. - Supadude, on 12/26/2007, -2/+1Lame, I coulda done that in an afternoon.
- crimsonsentinel, on 12/26/2007, -2/+1There's a fire hazard if I ever saw one.
- kixxster, on 12/26/2007, -2/+1seconded
- DickyT83, on 12/26/2007, -1/+1The lighting was cool, but would've been better if the person playing actually strummed up and down.
- ellabee, on 12/26/2007, -1/+1Got bored 15 seconds into it.
- wuori, on 12/26/2007, -1/+1That's what she said.
- kixxster, on 12/26/2007, -3/+2digg down
- Delber, on 12/26/2007, -2/+2Looks like a fire hazard to me.
- MrTeQ, on 12/26/2007, -1/+1Those are the coolest guitar hero players ever.
- bcerge, on 12/26/2007, -0/+1I am glad to see somebody out there besides me that uses Python.
- rnbw, on 12/27/2007, -1/+0congratulations! you...are...FAGS!
- MyExSucks, on 12/28/2007, -0/+1The only good thing about that video was that you could see part of the pirate's bay flag hanging behind the guy talking when they did the close up on him. what a promotion for the workplace
