They alternated each night on this tour.
I also saw them a couple of weeks ago with Mastodon closing, but I honestly think it would have worked better the other way around. It felt like the crowd used up all of their energy on Gojira and didn't have much left for Mastodon. I saw quite a few people leave early. For what it's worth, I was there mainly to see Mastodon, but Gojira ended up being the highlight for me. They went hard.
The early 90s Lucas Arts adventure games. Most notably Monkey Island 2.
Any recommendations for nicer scales? I'm kind of sick of the cheap kitchen scale I've been using and have been thinking about upgrading.
I'd be curious to hear other people's experience with this test. Personally, the two quality levels are completely indistinguishable for me. And that was sitting in a quiet room, using decent quality wired headphones, and really concentrating.
At least I know there will be no need for me to upgrade my subscription if Spotify ever does start offering uncompressed.
Metal Gear Solid
Monkey Island 2 (The first one is arguably better, but 2 was my introduction to the series, so I have a bit of a soft spot for it)
Before or after you got the fly out?
Earlier this year I was really close to pulling the trigger on a Dunable custom shop order myself. I had everything picked out except for the finish. I wanted it to have kind of a natural, almost unfinished look, with the wood grain showing through, but I was worried about ordering something like that sight unseen. I kept thinking about being potentially disappointed by an ugly or uninteresting piece of wood. So I went back and forth between ordering what I really wanted, or going with what I considered a safer option of a solid color. This went on for a few weeks. Then one night I was poking around on Reverb, and the exact (well, very nearly exact) guitar I had been imagining popped up for sale. I looked at the pictures and read the specs, thought "Holy shit, that's my guitar," and ordered it on the spot. It's amazing, and everything I could have hoped for.
I honestly feel a bit bad now that I lucked into skipping the wait that you're currently stuck in. On the bright side I guess that's one less guitar in the queue ahead of you, so maybe yours will come a few days earlier than it would have if I had been more decisive. Hang in there, you're going to love it.
This thread is going to haunt me. One day, years from now while lying in bed and slowly drifting off to sleep, I'll suddenly sit bolt upright and exclaim, "Why couldn't that dude poop!?"
That thing is ridiculous, and I love it. What do all of the knobs and switches do?
I've been thinking of trying out Rocksmith as a practice tool. Does it give good feedback as you're playing? Like if your timing starts to drift, will it let you know?
One of my favorite albums to come out in the last few years is Etemen Ænka by Dvne. The whole thing is great, but I'll give special mention to the riff at the end of the song Court of the Matriarch, which is so heavy it'll make you feel like you could stomp the earth in half.
