It can be difficult for a gamer to date a girl who has zero interest in video games. Seen from the outside, video games are a silly way of killing time that some people take way too seriously, the same way you might feel about scrapbooking, cats, or jogging.

On Guitar Hero 3, my absolute favorite song to rock out to is Muse’s face-melting number, “Knights of Cydonia.” The song just rocks. But this guy has taken it one step further, and put together this awesomely ridiculous acapella rendition, with all of the parts, that is nothing short of amazing.
