When I was picking up GH5 the salesman said he didn’t really know much about the series because he is in a “real” band. :rolleyes: Musicians can be such snobs. ;)
Nickelback has made comments about not enough rock bands on the road, and blaming Guitar Hero. Apparently they forgot that no rock bands want to be near them. Harmonix responded at GDC by saying one of their goals of making a good music game in Rock Band was "No Nickelback."

Bill Wyman recently blamed the games for keeping kids from playing music.

Others have said similar stuff too.

Things I have learned from the media:

  • Music games make you not want to play music.
  • Violent games make you want to commit violence.

Hey, wait a second!

I don't have any pictures of what I bought but I think this gets the point across.

The guy at autozone had a hard time accepting that I needed front brake shoes and not pads, lol.
 
Shoe 1 looks better. Shoe 2 looks like it should only be worn to Steelers games.

Also, Diablo, nice zapatas! :lol:

Oh boy, what have I started? :lol:

That's a .22LR Semi-auto, by the way. Will be my first gun. Next up is a Glock 17. Then I'm probably quitting as it only gets expensive from there. :lol:

^ Very good choce! Sennheiser are by far the best headphones out there!

My ignorant self hadn't heard of them before. I had issues buying headphones when I was in Spain because the prices were stupid. The average TDK brand ones were about 25€ and the good Sony ones were around 150€... there was no in-between. So if I went to the store with 50€ I had to buy the crappy ones.

Be careful with the headband adjustment mechanism on those. If they're anything like the 457s, the plastic knobs that slide along the notched slot will wear.

You're talking about the one on the speakers? Yeah, I think I can see them wearing out. I'll try not to move them too much. My only real issue with them right now is that between my glasses and the headphones pressing against my head, the legs of my glasses are piercing my skull... or at least it feels that way after using them for about 10 hours (9am to 7pm).

[*]Music games make you not want to play music.
I may be redundant in this, but that would also mean violent/war games would make people not want to kill each other. Perfect solution and a perfect way to make the conservatives shut the hell up.

How expensive is it to convert your car to discs? I know drum brakes will keep it original, but discs are so much safer, especially when it rains.

I can't remember but I think it was $600 when I looked. I'd love to have some discs, I couldn't tell you how many times I've had my brakes lock up on me in the rain even when I'm slowing down like a grandma, but there are more important things I could use that kind of money for on my car.

Even then I can't find a job so when I do end up getting some cash it's already going to something that's been a problem for a long time before that.
 
That's a pretty slick lookin MP5-style .22 Eric!! I like the red dot as well, still trying to pick the right one for my pistol. Any idea of the MOA on that one?

If you plan on quitting after the G17, DO NOT even look at any 1911s. Pretend they don't exist, otherwise you'll be finding ways to stash away the $$ to get one.

That was my point. The media hypocrisy will call music games bad for making you not want to do what the simulate and violent games bad because they make you want to do what they simulate.

Rowing machine?
Looks like a Wheelstand Pro.
 
Well I ain't gonna be messing with Eric anytime soon, tell ya that much. :scared: Oh and my latest purchase? My next driving lesson. :indiff:

I don't know anything about that scope to be honest...Just that its meant for that gun and has a decent price tag. :lol:

And about other guns, if anything I'd possibly look to some sort of revolver for some variety.
 
Not that I don't need a rowing machine. I have put on 5 kg on my already not too fit body since last summer. It's really time to do something about it.

Ha! Well at least you know it fits. It can't be that bad of a sight, the sub $40 ones are enough on something like a .22. It's most likely a 5 MOA dot which is fairly standard. You can go super crazy with 3 or even 2 MOA, real fine dot for greater accuracy. A revolver is one thing I haven't considered, but I might end up with one sometime in the future anyway.
 
I think it is a wheel stand for the Porsche sterring wheel (not for actual Porches)
 
What the heck is a wheelstand pro?
I have no clue how you have missed out on this. I even have one.

Yesterday was my birthday and I got prezzies!!!

My wife got me a Wheel Stand Pro. Now that I have an easy setup/take down for my DFP I will tackle Ferrari Challenge and get back into Prologue some more.

For $4.99 on Steam, I couldn't go wrong. I played the demo and thought it was very fun and for $5 it seemed worth it.
