There are times when people pull insane stunts in multiplayer and make me feel like a 90-year old impotent, senile loser, me playing the way I play (which isn’t too bad, but its no monster kill streak) and them doing stuff that I thought was damn near impossible. And then there’s Chris Chike (known in the legendary Guitar Hero III circles as Iamchris4life) who make me feel even worse, if such a thing is even possible.

The teen, known for setting a GH3 Guinness World Record of 840,647 points, on what is unarguably the hardest, damndest song in the game, “Through the fire and the flames”, has now managed to beat his own record - this time, scoring a perfect 100% on the song on Expert, earning 987,786 points and an obscene, heart-attack-inducing, finger-stiffening 3722 note streak. As if that wasn’t enough to make you (and me) hide under the nearest rock for the next billion, billion years, he’s gone ahead and recorded the whole thing on video, so you can now commit seppuku with your guitar controller and end the pain once and for all. That is, after your eyeballs pop out of their sockets and start behaving like bouncy balls.

Talking about the video, which is one of the most viewed videos on YouTube (with over 1.6 million views and still counting.. fast), Chris has said:

I was almost in shock when I finished the song and had hit the 100%-I am so glad I caught it on video or even I wouldn’t have believed it happened. It feels great to have accomplished it, and it is exciting to see so many people online watching me get a perfect score on the hardest song in the game.

Which I suppose explains the two loud swears I heard at the end - the one in the video itself, and the louder, more profane one escaping my own mouth as the unreality of what I’d just seen set in. Go ahead, watch the video and meet me back at my place so we can all emulate Heaven’s Gate. Gamer-style, of course.
