Al Di Meola - Race With Devil on Spanish Highway (title's misrepresented in the video) The granddaddy of electric guitar shredding as far as I know. Yngwie was 80s, this song is late 70s. Shredding on jazz fusion is just orgasmic. Largest shred runs at 2:50, 4:45, and 5:45. [Youtube]Atz9vzTAUh0[/Youtube]

I'd love to name some old school franchises but good lord they've pretty much all suffered some butchering in recent years to the point where I can't like them as franchises anymore. 1. Ninja Gaiden. This is an old school franchise that still stays true to it's roots while evolving to meet today's standards. For that I have to crown Ninja Gaiden as king. Fond childhood memories and fond recent memories. The DS game was decent but not great. 2. Grand Theft Auto. I've loved every Grand Theft Auto game barring Chinatown Wars. I think I beat the original GTA like 3 times as a kid. GTA 4 twice. 3. Ace Combat. I've played all of the Ace Combat games except the handhelds and the very first one(dubbed Air Combat stateside). Love them all. Ace Combat 2 is still the king of arcade-y flight games for me.

I liked their first album, I can't stand anything else. [sic], Tattered & Torn, Liberate and Diluted are good.

If we're considering wrestling(and if it's a boy), how can you not go with Davey Boy?

Spicy Nacho and Cool Ranch.

I really want to like this guy as a member of a band but he plays in very few songs that I like. As a drummer though this guy is incredible. He at one time shattered 3 world's fastest drummer records. He teaches at Berkley... lucky fuckers. Him in the studio doing drums for Annihilator's Weapon X. Non-goofing around begins at 1:25, and good god the rolls are so fun to watch. [Youtube]kQTBtkB_mWQ[/Youtube] At a clinic playing a Steve Vai song. Highlights at 2:10-2:40, 4:25, 5:45.

Oh... those kind of beavers. I is disappointed.

LG TM-250. I'm not into using a phone for anything other than phoning someone and for emergency purposes. The occasional text here and there when my girlfriend's in class or something and I know she can't answer a call.

Mouse - Razer Diamondback 3G Keyboard - The Z-Board(I love loud keyboards, I love hearing keys click. Standard keyset by the way) Monitor - Daytek F19-DH(19 inch LCD) Headphones - Sony MDR-G74

It's hard to name just one. It's gotta be Nick Menza back during the hay day. He'd massacre his drums live and still play with precision. [Youtube]Vuhm9WAXc-k[/Youtube]

What, 9000? ...come on, someone had to. HG is enough, it's pretty meaningless in the first place. Having three "ranks" that have the same forum privileges is kind of silly. Besides, what's more awesome than sharing initials with Hard Gay?

2012 is sensationalism at it's best. Even the experts aren't sure if the Mayan calender ends on 2012... so potentially we've had many Doomsday... days, pass us by. Some believe it ends, some believe it resets, some believe there are more digits in the calender. Why wouldn't the calender just reset itself like every other calender?

I thought of Evanescence first for some reason, specifically Bring Me To Life.

Firefox at home, Chrome on my laptop. I think Chrome would be too alien for the other people that use the computer at home so that's why I'm using two. I was kinda forced to get something other than Firefox for my laptop anyway because one day it decided to be fussy with the campus' wireless connection and it wouldn't do anything.

[Youtube]YDLwGnqk8rw[/Youtube] Fuck Dave Padden. Jeff Waters is incredible and so is Mike Mangini, how they could pick and stick with such a terrible singer is absolutely beyond me. It's like if Dream Theater replaced LaBrie with William Hung.

Someone showed us this in class like a week and a half ago. Real neat. I thought it got taken down 'cause the URL that had just the flash in a page by itself was gone. I think the coolest part are the waves that get generated around a note just because I just finished programming that feature in 3D for my water simulation project in C++.

An Atari 2600.

I'm almost reminded of the Sega CD and the Sega 32X. To predict that Nintendo will fall flat on it's ass with this one like Sega did with the CD and the 32X would unfortunately be a misnomer because these things are actually selling.

Carlin Carlin Carlin Carlin Carlin Carlin Carlin Carlin Carlin. His style of comedy is absolutely perfect for me, just the right blend of philosophy and funny working together. [Youtube]eScDfYzMEEw[/Youtube]
