Cool. Maiden is now on this page.


In other news, a few hours ago I beat Zelda II for the first time. Holy shit that game is hard. But Dark Link was easy. :confused:
 
That's what I did too.
But I'm doing II as part of a Zelda marathon, and that means it is time for Link To The Past. :D

Ya, that's very true.
I wonder if the new software auto resizes large images. If not, I'll make sure to make super huge ones smaller. Cool, it does make them a bit smaller, but larger than before.

Travis, what's your screen resolution / window size? That image filled my entire screen; I suspect it resizes to whatever your setting are.

(to clarify, speaking to all now, not just Travis...)
For the moment, let's keep images reasonably small. Let's say 500x500 pixels is a good guide - not a hard limit, but don't go too much over if you can avoid it. I'll bring this up in the Broken Forum thread and Jon can tackle image size if he likes.

So Mosh, I got a nice Dean electric guitar for Christmas but I'm in need of an amp and a few picks. Where would I start when trying to learn how to play this?
 
Sorry didn't see you were threre.

The best thing you can do is find yourself a teacher. But I'm self taught (internet taught :) ) so it's also possible.

I reccommend you to learn all the basic chords (A Am C D Dm E Em F G B), and then for beginning a pentatonic scale.
The real crucial thing for begginner is practicing, you have to give it time to see some progress. Stretch your fingers, practice rhythm, and after you have some basics, try some easy maiden songs - Blood Brothers, Revelations, Wasting Love etc.
 
What Cox's preaches is true. You don't want to get too immersed in tabs though, you might get in the habit of just playing by tab and that's not really good. Yea, get a good teacher, or find a good book. And of course don't expect to be good right away.

Deans are really nice guitars, great for thrash. :shred:

My resolution is 1280x1024 on a 19" monitor. It would only take up the entire screen for me if I clicked it to make it larger, but now that Jon put the filter it, it's all good. :)
 
I don't like this design at all. Too much of it draws attention from real stuff, eg. posts. The auto-italics inside quote tag is particularly annoying.
 
I'm gonna read the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett. Can I read it in random order or it's meant to be in chronological order?
 
There's several sub-stories within the series, such as Rincewind, the Watch/Vimes, and the Witches, as well as standalone books. While it gives you a good idea as to how the Discworld develops to read them in order, I only really recommend you handle the individual storylines in order.

I love Vimes.
