Links!

Gaming, non-gaming, all over the place.

First, thanks to all of you (George Politis was first) who sent in the scariest cross-pollenation in gaming history--a guy playing Guitar Hero while simultaneously playing Karakoke Revolution to the song "I Love Rock and Roll." Here's a link to the story (there's a video, which is way too darkly lit but very funny anyway):

Then, from DQ reader Tim Thompson, a story about an air guitar project at Helsinki University that is remarkably advanced. And it makes me wonder if someone could someday play a 3-D guitar with full fidelity to a real instrument. That would be both magnificent and insane. Here are the links:

Last, from John Catania, a link to some absolutely stunning 3D sidewalk art. The pictures are truly remarkable. Here's the link:
