Guitar Rising is a game that will allow a person to play a real guitar instead of a Fisher Price squeaky toy. That is right, you can actually learn how to play guitar while playing this game. Due out in late 2008.

File Under: Mi guitarra
Slightly before my birthday I bought myself an electric guitar starter kit. It was made by Behringer and cost a whopping $130. It came with a nice 15w tube amp, a Strat wannabe, and other things you need to start playing.
When I first began, I was happy, even though the frets were sharp on the edges. The longer I played the more I became annoyed with the tone and action. As I was stopping into the music store on a regular basis to check out sheet music, this was a dangerous situation. Being a frugal guy, I did some research and learned that I needed to spend some time setting it up. I set about to adjust the neck, the action, the intonation, and pickups. I don't think the factory even tried to set this thing up. I also filed those sharp fret bars. After doing all this, it sounded and played better than it had. However, you can't guild a turd, so it was time to buy a big boy guitar.
After much research, and finding a hell of a good deal (dealer cost) I ended up buying this Hagstrom Super Swede, it came well recommended on Harmony Central and plays so smooth and sounds great. Eventually, I hope to be able to do this guitar justice.

File Under: Erik's NY Giants win Super Bowl
As many of you know, despite his mother and I being Eagles fans, my son has chosen the NY Giants as his team. Suffice to say that he is very happy today, even though he has a fever and is stuck in bed. He is also lucky in that his team has won a Super Bowl in his lifetime. Eagles, I am still waiting.
I would like take this opportunity to brag and eat some crow. I have been defending Eli all along, saying it wasn't his fault. Who did I blame? I blamed Coughlin, it is now obvious that I was wrong. So to Tom Coughlin, I apologize. It seems it was all Shockey's fault.

File Under: Why the Alliance sucks in Battle Grounds
This comic sums up the real issue with the Alliance when playing in Battle Grounds. The Alliance seems to be burdened with a large number of schmucks who don't understand the point of the old "Bird in the hand" saying. For some reason they want all the flags, which isn't the point. The point is to control the flags and garner enough points to win. Thus, the horde tends to win more often than not.
