quite good, the background colour sorta contracts the vibrant reds and whites of the character on the front so that might be worth reconsidering

leave him and his girlfriend alone. Don't talk to her about him and likewise, don't talk to him about her. He's still your friend, he just has higher priorities at the moment, if you want to be his friend just leave him and her alone so they can be together. That way if they do break up or whatever, it'll have nothing to do with you pressurizing their relationship.

im sure there's a PSP emulator somewhere, emulators usually infringe copyright laws though and therefore you won't see a link for one here

Normal = Average For example, lots of people have Blonde, Brown and Black hair much smaller amount of people have Ginger hair So if you have Blonde, Brown and Black hair, you're normal, if you have ginger hair, you aren't normal. But it's a collection of physical and mental features that make you normal or not normal which is why simply have ginger hair doesn't make you not normal. Other examples out of the blue are things like: if you are tall or short if you are muscular or scrawny if you are thin or fat. That's how i'd answer your question "what is normal?." Normal is another word for average, ofcourse at the end of the day however, normal is how you percieve it, not how other percieve it. This is why you get people who enjoy going to school, spending times with friends etc and those who like to cover themselves in faeces. They're all normal, just depends on who is looking at them

nihilum were the first ones to down him, alot of people on Twilight's Hammer have made good progress in Naxxramas, im seeing alot of people wearing Tier 3 -
easily Jaco Pastorius - Better groove and technicality http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3x-ibNb9mc John Patitucci - Better groove http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTYQFyXfK7s Alain Caron > Flea slap bass Michael Manring - might be a weather report song but still http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25QfIhNphtE there's enough, Flea is simply average at best, and that's not even comparing him to virtuosos, that's comparing flea to every other mainstream bassist
-
In my opinion Flea: incredibly average Fiedly: Junk Cliff Burton: Dead Junk Les Claypool: Good slap technique but very poor fretless work Jaco Pastorius: My favourite (Teen Town) Victor Wooten: very good at funk Geddy Lee: great rock bassist Alain Caron: Best slap bass player tbh

I've just started a Troll Shaman on Twilight's Hammer - EU. They're such an incredible class, they're like druids only they actually win in PvP -
don't force yourself to practice, practice because you want enjoyment from it. I never set hours, I just play, many times i've played till the early hours of the morning

I can only speak for my class, warrior. Good PVP set: Marshal to field marshal. What is it but grind to get this "good gear" with your guild, PVP arena battle after another? Good... Other set? Dreadnaught or if you're willing to settle for less, wrath (tier 2) set. Atleast Warriors actually get a proper armour set, what do Druids get? Tier 0: Rubbish Tier0.5: Expensive and still rubbish Tier 1: Healbot set Tier 2: Healbot Set Tier 3: Healbot Set PvP Rare: alright hybrid gear PvP Epic: very good hybrid gear The problem? to be effective in PvP, a druid needs to have such good epic gear which most guilds won't let you bid DKP on because they're for others classes. Once you hit 60, it's almost impossible to get the PvP sets unless you're in a really good guild that lets you bid on whatever you want. Also of notice, the fact that none of the sets are decent for a Feral Druid or Balance druid (which is a ridiculously gear dependent build, to even be effective, you need atleast 300 +spell dmg on your armour and even then, being able to do 1k dmg with a 3 second cast time is rubbish). It's also a problem for priests who only have their PvP armour sets to compliment Shadow spec, but atleast they get a speciliast set, druids only have healbot sets for specialisation. But then again, (sorry if it sounds discriminating) I thought druids and priest are by 'natural choice' healbots. Warriors keep the aggro and mages/warlocks blast the monster, while "other" classes usually have to settle with buffing and healing. Hence I didn't pick a class like Paladin or Priest (though making a "Shadow Priest" sounded tempting but I never got to it) they are natural choice for healbots, Druids and Priests are the best healers in the game, but it doesn't mean that every single armour set should improve their healing considering a large portion of the game is PvP, having armour that boosts the combat ability is crucial for these two classes and sadly Blizzard have failed for end game itemization for both classes. The only problem is that shadowpriests are actually very good PvPers, druids on the other hand are incredibly difficult to PvP with (most people consider them a free HK), and having poor itemization for a class which is supposed to be a "hybrid" is one of the reasons why druids are the most unpopular class in the game.

1. How large a company is, is irrelevant. Many large corporations make totally buggy and crappy games (a good example would be EA Games, though they've improved as of late) 2. In practice it can be even annoying and the server will lag when there is an overlarge community. It doesn't make it even technically better because all players don't play on the same realm. 3. True, but it doesn't really add anything to the gameplay other than 'coolness' 4. This one I disagree the most with. Especially after hitting level 60, the game is all about grinding dungeons for finding good items. Most of the time you will spend even 20 raids (countless and countless hours) just to get 1 rare item, and it goes to the person on the top of the raid list. You're on the bottom with 27 other people. Have fun getting the WHOLE set of 8 pieces... And remaining mentally sane. But, for the other points.. Unless things have dramatically changed since I quit, changing realms costs nothing (but your character will not remain- except in very special circumstances if announced earlier) "Lame" is probably the best word that would fit 'Everquest', in my opinion. The amount of grinding is really unbelieveable and if you even think that as a new character you can get all the top gear, GOOD LUCK is what you need.. No, supernatural... Quote of the day 8-) 1. The size of a company has everything to do with games, usually, the larger the company, the more innovative and creative they can be because they know that they have a bed of money which they can fall on. EA just bought the rights to Crytek's Crysis (Far Cry sequel). 2. When one refers to the community of a game, they mean all the players that play the game, not the players of a particular realm. All realms are the same content except for small rules such as PvP, PvE, RPPvP and RPPvE. Lag has nothing to do with the size of the community of a game, it has something to do with the population of a realm. 3. A customisable interface allows players to setup the game to their liking, it might partly have to do with coolness / internet penis but apart from that, it's total comfort control. 4. Doing MC over and over again is fun, i'd compare it to playing the same Counter Strike map over and over again. The only grind in WoW is grinding rep, and forcing yourself to Raid numerous times a week (if you don't like that, /gquit). Even if some people find WoW to be grinding, it is no where near as bad as runescapes (shouldn't even be in the same sentence tbh). 5. I meant changing a character's realm sorry 6. I agree 7. I agree

that guy is a magnificent guitarist, the only thing I can criticise is his electric tone

i dont care how people spell or punctuate their sentences, as long as the contents aren't stupid. The only exception is when it lacks so much punctuate that it's actually difficult to understand but people who type stuff like that are stupid anyways

fix'd, Satriani doesn't shred, he uses a technique called Legato which is where you hammer on notes instead of plucking them (which is shredding). so? i dont care about wherer he plucks, or hammers, or plays with his teeth, (wonder how many people will get that) as long as it sounds good, im happy. and satrini also taught Steve Vai, larry lalonde, and trey spruance. which also makes him good in my book for god's sake, you're like the 3rd person today who hasn't read what I said. Where did I say anything about it not sounding good? the point is, you called Satriani a shredder. he simply isn't, he never has been and he never will be. Shredding isn't play fast, shredding is alternate picking fast. And I love Satriani, I have all his albums, and his bassist's albums, and any other material I could get my hands on. I'd never say he is anything but good, infact, i'd say he's great geez.... i did read what you said, i thought "shreading" was just a term for just fast and incredible guitar work. where i am, its know tht if you say a guitarist "shreads" it means they are just plane awesome at guitar. i didnt know it was a specific technique Well, there are two definitions strictly for shredding, the ignorant kind and the technique: The Ignorant one is when you refer to a guitarist that plays some blisteringly quick passage that sounds rubbish. The technique is alternate picking very quickly

It's also incredibly unfair

while I agree that they're both amazing guitarists. Shawn Lane (RIP) was the best guitarist imo, the fastest guitarist in the world at the time and one of the best songwriters of all time. Since he's dead however, my favourite guitarist at the moment is probably Frank Gambale due to his incredibly feel for the music and amazing sweeped arpeggio solos ah what the hell, i'll post some videos: Shawn lane: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYoWCWo89tk Frank Gambale: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjyqMZKeaPM

So... When you manage to play in five bands, have a lot of money, have a pretty wife, and have a family, you still fail at life? :-k i'd say so yes Sheesh...I'd hate to be the person you marry. im a homosexual and priests dont let me marry

1. ? 2. I said, I can't judge his technicality or groove due to him not being in more than 1 band, if he was like the Green Day bassist who plays in a jazz trio I could judge his groove. Since Alex Webster only plays in Cannibal Corpse, you can make an educated assumption that he's not very good due to him not trying to make a distinction between himself and other bassists. Most metal bassists root note which doesn't say a lot about skill, so you whoring a bassist that does nothing but root note means that I can quite easily say he isn't the best simply because there is no way of telling if he is the best or not. Therefore, you can make an educated assumption that John Myung, Steve Digiorgio and Lars Norberg are all better since in their bands, they have a lot more work to do as bassist compared to Alex Webster. As you can hopefully see, im not saying Alex Webster is necessarily a bad bassist, rather he is potentially a bad bassist just like he is potentially a good bassist, you can't tell but when you've got bassists like John Myung dancing around a jazz chord progression in 7/8 timing, you can make a good assumption that John Myung is much better. A bassist being able to play fast is pointless, with practice, anyone can play fast, that's not what being a musician is about. Being able to play your part properly and being able to express yourself through your instrument is the point
