One day, one day!  For now I need practice.  A lot of practice. 

Any amps or guitars you own worth posting images of and/or about?

I was interested in the Vypyr 60 and 120 as they have tubes and (from YouTube and other reviews) seem to better model the 70's sound you refereed to, but in the end thought cheaper was better until I got my ability up quite a bit.  I went with the Vypyr 30 for the price and versatility, my marriage, and my daughter.  I love my wife, but she has no appreciation for good music IMHO.  I also love my daughter, but she has sensory issues (sound, light, touch, etc.) that limit my guitar amplification. 

BTW, the best amp/guitar playing I ever heard first hand was from my brother-in-law using a tube VOX, but his playing was well beyond mine so I can't attribute all the awe to the amp itself as I was also in awe of his ability.

I ended up getting a Peavey Predator Plus.  See images below: 





































I had problems with notes seemingly being out of tune.  At first I attributed this to the tremolo, but later realized that I was pressing too hard on the frets due to my acoustic playing.  Now it's good, but I may still need to work on the intonation of the G string a little. 

I also purchased a Peavey Vypyr combo/modeling amp: 



















Note that this is the old version without USB.  Peavey has moved beyond the *newer* USB version to the VIP line.  Still, this allows me the most versatile sound short of VIP 2 or 3 with the AT-200 guitar from Peavey. 

At the time I considered a lot of guitars and amps, but in the end may have been prejudiced without foreknowledge being that I am from Mississippi.  Your thoughts?

Does your TV have a game setting?  Switching the Wii U input to game reduced my sound lag.  Also, I think I'm going to play games that allow it with the Pro or GCN controller and turn off the gamepad anyway.

The goal is not just to play, but to finish 52 games, then?
Yes.  Sorry for not saying that directly.  You must finish/beat each game or at least play it for 8 hours.  Proof may be required.

Video Game Chat / Father's Day: 52 games/year Challenge
« on: June 15, 2014, 05:17:38 PM »
Between now on Father's day 2015 post 52 games played in said time period.  Each game must include at least one screen shot and at least a three sentence review.  Bonus points for playing with or in view of your dad and/or your son/daughter.  In the event of a tie the community (Fungi Forum members) will decide the winner.  Said winner may receive a game or equally valued merchandise totally less than $60 at the discretion of Luigison.   Feel free to post games as you play them or wait until the end to post them all.  In the event that games cannot be beaten, a minimum of 8 hours will be required.  Proof of game play may be required.

Yeah.
It that is an answer to my question, I expect to have mustard levels of fun this Summer!  I think my daughter will get a kick out of Superstar Saga.

In 7 I used tilt exclusively because it was fun.  I may go back to tilt in 8 with my daughter, but otherwise I expect to be using Pro or GCN (when/if it is allowed).

The Pro controller is more comfortable for me.  The gamepad wouldn't be bad if it had customizable controls or I duct tape down the A button during races.
