  1. Played a fun little game called Boogeyman where you play this child protecting their bed from the boogeyman. You have to keep your head on a swivel and efficiently use the limited battery power of your flashlight, which repels him. It's pretty intense when you look under the bed and his face is staring right at you. But the gold standard for scary VR games, imo, is Alien: Isolation. Fuck that game.
  2. Marshall Astoria Dual. It's everything Marshall knows about making amps. I intend to be buried with it.
  3. I need to hear more about how you hate it.
  4. I took a pic with him at the Classic Game Fest in Austin last year. Got a poster of King of Kong signed and it's hanging in my game room. I regret nothing!
  5. Just got hotter.
  6. Wasn't he still growing up to his death?
  7. It's what we do. First we made a boogieman out of Orgeron, and when that became untenable, we had to find a new savant recruiter. With Arky Chad, we'll have to take what we can get.
  8. Name does not check out.
  9. BoomMF

    One X

    That list is strong to very strong. Also, Panzer Dragoon Orta? He'll and yes.
  10. What about 11 guitarists who play Smoke on the Water, Stairway, and Smoke on the Water again?
  11. I would like to introduce your troglodytic ass to the wonderful world of torrents. Enjoy your stay (and the occasional AIDS).
  12. I'd like to take the moment to point out that Eli Wallach is a lifetime Longhorn. Fess Parker is too, but y'all are some snobs so his name hasn't come up yet.
  13. Diverse audiences, which I assume is code for non-white, demand the same level of sophistication as children? Interesting take. What does the data say?
  14. He's on the Mt. Rushmore of Rock Assholes, probably after Henley. Probably. Check out the books Gold Dust Woman, Making Rumours, or Storms. The list of his assholic accomplishments are too many to list here, but it usually involves how he treated Stevie (some real top shelf, cringe worthy stuff) the CONTINUES TO THIS DAY and strongarming or politicking/back-stabbing in the production booth. Side Note: Regardless, Gold Dust Woman and Play On (Mick's book) are recommended for Fleetwood Mac fans. Though for different reasons.
  15. While we're collecting Buckingham shit for posterity, this video needs to be here. And maybe everywhere. Bonus points since it features his former boss.
  16. On the one hand, he's probably one of the worst humans who's ever existed. On the other, he's a pop genius. It's a toughie.
  17. I'll get into it this week and see. There is a common reversible mod on the red channel (clipping off the c19 cap) that opens it up a fair bit. Played with the clean channel a bit this morning and it has that Marshall DNA but still very much a DSL (low volume isn't going to knock your socks off and the bass could use some punch). Driven at volume it comes alive and is a very usable foundation for the pedals I want to pump through it. I think the speaker swap will get me 90% of the way there. We'll see.
  18. That's their right. Freddie can sing circles around both those dudes, especially Jagger, and brings equal levels of on-stage panache. Yeah, Plant in his prime is the only other dude that I think can challenge for A1. Dude was force of nature and had arguably a more marketable look. But Mercury checks ALL the boxes. And he doesn't just check some of those boxes, he's the king of some of those boxes.
  19. Geez. That intro tone is butter af. Completely unrelated to butter, I brought that DSL40C Vintage home: I've wanted to add a DSL40C to the family since playing with a friend's, but after getting the Katana the urgency to get a beater on this side of the tone spectrum wasn't all that high. I stopped by the Guitar Center up north, as I am wont to do, and they had this dude hiding away from the used section under the Gibson display. The Vintage Limited Edition is pretty hard to come by, but despite being only an appearance difference, I'm a sucker for limited editions. My plan is to drop a Celestion Vintage 30 into it for a start. Here's an updated shot of the boys: Excelsior.
  20. Mercury is the A1 standard for rock front men imo. In the group that despite technical deficiencies should be considered for inclusion in an all-time super group is Roth. Morrison is in that same subset.
  21. Boss DS-1 Appreciation Club, holla!
  22. Same. Also, Time Machine is an underrated disc(s).
  23. Before the conversation moves away from Bonamassa, the greatest living guitarist of this or any generation, check out this video of straight unadulterated pr0n: http://youtu.be/ctx86V-GI8A Those tweeds tho. Also, Tapa can kiss my ass.
