i don't get it

Either my hangover is 10 times stronger than i thought, or this makes no sense.

While i love the banners and articles that appear on this forum board, this one seriously takes the cake:

Can someone of superior intellect explain before i become drunk again and give up altogether?

I remember that.  Piano recital in a virtual environment. 

Crappy graphics, etc.  I think I'd rather have a decent video recording and watch it with headphones or decent speakers.  Not live, but so what really?
