No offense, but you may want to read a bit more (and raise over two million dollars in charity to children's hospitals) before you judge the man's grasp on reality:

At any rate, I agree that playing Guitar Hero is not playing an instrument. Nobody's saying that it is (even the Penny Arcade article - if you think it is, please re-read it). The issue arises when you tell people that the games are silly because they should just do the real life equivalent. Sometimes, we don't want to play a real instrument, or risk personal injury to skate like a professional, or go play in the real NFL. Sometimes, we just want to play the game.
