Guitar Zero

You want fries with that, sir?

An American teenager has dropped out of high school in order to become an expert at the video game Guitar Hero.

Blake Peebles, 16, quit his sophomore year at North Raleigh Christian Academy to concentrate on perfecting his game, which so far has seen him win prizes from gift certificates to gaming equipment and chicken sandwiches.

You'll need to learn to cook chicken sandwiches as well, Blank... er, Blake. McDonalds has lots of openings for former "professional video gamers."

"We couldn't take the complaining anymore. He always told me that he thought school was a waste of time," his mother Hunter told The News & Observer.

That's okay, Hunter... he'll be living with you for the rest of your life. (Hunter? Seriously?! Did your parents make you live under the stairs?)

It took some digging, but I was able to find a photograph of Blake. And his mom.

It is good to know that my insane skillz at asteroids will translate into income..oh wait, they won't? Well, I guess he can use the skills he learned from pushing four colored buttons to...to...hold a mop and clean up vomit at the school he dropped out of.
