How To Play Poker With Your Rock Band Guitar

Posted by timothy on from the jumprope-can-be-hifi-if-it's-got-usb dept.

An anonymous reader writes 'Sean Lind over at PokerListings has written a really interesting piece on how to configure Rock Band (or Guitar Hero) instruments to use them as controllers for playing online poker. The instructions given in his how-to could really be used to configure the instruments for any game.' Or how about a genuine chording keyboard?

    You're a real cocker now, 'bad analogy guy'. Every day, your obsession with attention and 'karma' drives you to post on slashdot. And every time, in each post, I see your raw desires. You're obsessed with getting your 'karma' level higher and higher, you crave for attention, and you spend each day looking for articles to comment on. And now you're talking about picking up women. How many women have you picked up thanks to your high karma levels? Yeah, I'll fuckin pick up women. Why don't you come here and we can discuss how to pick up women. I'll fuckin pick up all your women, twice over. You're always cockin maximum.

    And it seems your obsession with BadAnalogyGuy has led to this post. Now ask yourself, which obsession is creepier?

    Because some guy used a game controller to play a different game. What, are you saying that doesn't just completely blow your mind?
