Battlefield 1943 on XBLA

I bought a guitar, finally :D

-
I play bass pretty decently already, so I don't know much about guitar but I know all of the fundamentals and stuff that translates over.
-
So far it's much harder. The sole reason why I bought a guitar was because I was getting tired of the limitations bass set without installing more strings. But it's fun so far, dicking around with the chords i'm learning like the D chord or whatever.
-
:rock
I bought a guitar once and quit within a month and sold it. But you already :rock
:rock
Please post some update how hard normal guitar playing is in comparison to bass guitar ok?
I've played both, very little, but the bass was always much much easier than the guitar.

I'm always envious of people who play instruments.

OOOOOOOOHHH. I can finally play along. CHECK OUT:

Tele's are great though. mmm, I had a USA Fender Tele in cream white a couple of years ago, I traded it in but it was beautiful. :heartbeat

I could beatmatch and mix with a MIDI controller, that's about as close as I come to an "instrument"... and I've programmed drum patterns on a 909 emulator once. Though I want to get that Korg DS game...

:rock Awesome new guitar methodis :rock

I just recently found his podcast. It's pretty damned great, although he occasionally opens his yap and spoils the whole "I'm not at work, I'm in a badass club!" fantasy vibe.

Someday I will buy that Strat. Once I can play somewhere near his level.

Will have a laptop next to the board for stats tracking in a spreadsheet and VASSAL play-by-email use (How I primarily plan on playing the game, though I have a friend who is also interested here in town).

Decided to check these Elixer strings out after hearing so much about how great they are. And so far, they really are.

Very cool.
I'd never seen those Elixir strings before. I'll have to keep an eye out for them.
-
They have these special coatings or whatever (you can't actually see it in real life)
(http://www.westsidedistribution.com/images/stories/brand_images/czot_green.png)
And, they're very expensive.
-
I wish my strings looked like an ass crack when you zoom in on them. :(

I inexplicably just bought this on a whim from Amazon.co.uk. On a whim. Because it's not available in the U.S. on Blu-ray. On a whim. ???
Loved the movie and the book, so why not? Have a huge list of blu-rays I want to buy that just isn't getting smaller, don't know why I started with this, though.

After 15yrs of having shitty PC chair at home, I splurged on this beauty:
(http://thumbnail.image.rakuten.co.jp/@0_mall/asworkshop/cabinet/hara/nietzsche_or.jpg)
I tried it out in a furniture store, then scored it online for $150 or so less. Steal. The sections hug and support the buttcheeks in a very pleasant fashion indeed.
-
that looks kinda disturbing tbh. Do the pale pink bits pulsate at all?
-
Looks pretty darn fancy. Reminds me of a baboon ass.

I was thinking to myself, "He's gonna have to put a bra on that thing when family comes over."
Looks cool, though.
-
That chair is from the future.
-
I need to take video of it i think; it's really interesting how it moves to support you when you sit on it or lean back.
It's by a firm called 'Hara Chair' btw, the model is called 'Nietzsche' for some reason. I like 'Baboon Ass' better though :lol

Awesome chair.
-
So do the butt panels move around at all as you move? I can imagine them being very comfy in any case.
-
Yeah. They fold in and clench your cheeks when you sit down. As soon as i sat down, i was like oooooh, this is niiiiiice.
The only way it could be improved is if the seat was made of thin mesh, like the uber-awesome Herman Miller chairs we have at work. That stops them from getting sweaty over long periods. They're way out of my price range though.
-
I think I had the impression they might move outwards, but they move in. Interesting, I'll have to try one if I ever see it.

Too bad you're not in the US. You could buy an Aeron used on craiglist at a decent price from many of the failed businesses.

I've seriously thought about putting on some overalls, grabbing a clipboard, and just walking out with one of the unattended ones in the office.
Then I remember that I'm a honky in a sea of japanese people.

O god that chair :lol :lol :lol :lol

I'd be worried about my sack getting pinched between the two butt panels.
-
since everyone seems so intrigued by the chair, here is the actual one i got, modeled by my offspring:

impressions after use are good. although i don't want to get naked in this thing, which is a major drawback for a PC chair. ifyerknowhorrimean.

I was going to say "they look like lungs" but yours is ever-so-much-more eloquent.
