    How do you find new music/shows?

    I check out what people post in the "What Are You Listening To" thread and check out bands/artists who have articles written about them in various music magazines - whether guitar-centric or more mainstream like Rolling Stone. Believe it or not, I've found out about a lot of great groups from...

    "Good" games, that you hate.

    The amount of BioShock, GTA, Witcher and OoT mentions is blowing my mnd. Some of the others I understand, but those games are amazing. Another one I'd add to the list is Super Mario Brothers 2. I know quite a few people who say that is their favorite NES Mario but I don't get it.

    I forgot about that one. Annoying as hell. And it really was a design/control issue that made it shitty.

    I see a series of unfortunate events in store for Rothstein as well. Him setting up Lucky and abandoning Nucky were two moves he shouldn't have made.

    Hardest Boss Fights (No MMO shit please)

    I know it's MMO shit, but fuck you, we were an Alliance guild and we killed Viscidus. And we were one of the first in the world to do so I think. Fuck all that boring ass spider farming for the mats for NR pots and whatever the item was the let you cleanse yourself.

    What are you listening to at the moment?

    That lead singer's stage presence reminds me a lot of David Byrne. And, Julian, I'm with you on Blind Melon. I didn't start listening to them until about a year ago. Great band.

    Hardest Boss Fights (No MMO shit please)

    I honestly don't remember much from the really young days of gaming. Mike Tyson is a good call. So is Dr. Robotnik. I know games in general are easy as hell nowadays, but I remember these two causing a lot of frustration: Now that I watch the Thardus video, I never thought of...

    NBA 2012-13 Season Thread - Crown The Heat!

    Holy shit the end to the Warriors-Heat game was fucking awesome. What an amazing last second play. Five straight 20+ point games for David Lee? That's pretty awesome.

    "Good" games, that you hate.

    My bad, I meant Chrono Trigger. Should've done some fact checking beforehand. It's been years since I played some of those games. Chrono Trigger is OK, but I still can't get into that combat system.

    How do you people debate about this show so much? Have you even been fucking watching it? The writers make whatever the fuck they want to happen, happen. The show is only worth watching for whatever will be the most ridiculous plot device introduced for the week.

    "Good" games, that you hate.

    Time for negs! Every turn based game ever - all Final Fantasies, Secret of Mana, the Pokemons, etc. I just can't get into turn based games. The Assassins Creed series is also pretty terrible. Fun gameplay for a few hours but then it gets very repetitive and boring.

    Psy sang about killing americans before Oppa Gangnam Style.

    How is this any different than most hip-hop lyrical content? Oh wait, I guess since they're Americans the Bill of Rights applies to them.

    Perhaps the best restaurant I have ever eaten at in my life is in LA - Nobu. They also just finished building a location in Vegas so it's available there too. Very awesome Japanese food.

    I'm a big fan of Wilkinson tremolo systems. I have them on two of my guitars and I can divebomb and bend up to my heart's content. The divebomb isn't as deep as what you can get on a Floyd Rose, but not much compares to that. Don't get a Bigsby. They are fucking awful. As for Rondo...

    Kids? or No kids?

    I don't have kids and don't foresee myself having any for a quite some time. In fact, I think having kids is a pretty big mistake in general, but your point of view is messed up.

    It looked like fried penis and balls served over veggies. Kind of fucked up, but I must say I am curious as to what this Asian dish actually is. The obvious answer is fried penis and balls.

    I wonder what the big cliffhanger will end up being this season. They renewed this season at the same time as the next so you know there will be an "Oh shit!" moment. The LaGuerta setup was one of the most redeeming moments this season. Almost felt like old school Dexter for a moment. He's...

    Using any kind of public transit in southern California is pretty awful. It typically takes over an hour to get anywhere. At least in my experience (primarily LA).

    I'm a lefty but I learned how to play right-handed. Sometimes I wonder if that was a mistake and if I'd be much better if didn't go that route, but left-handed guitar availability is so limited and much more expensive that I just couldn't justify it when I bought my shitty Epiphone as my first...
