But isn't the Wii U getting a GameCube style controller for Smash Bros Wii U? Would that work for MK8 too?

Thanks! I came very close to buying and Ibanez with an active pickup today:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ibanez-Electric-Guitar-S-Series-Natural-Wood-Look-S770PB-/191169602585
I'm still considering it if he re-lists it. Regardless, I'll take your advice and practice with what I already have.
Edit: "I don't run. And if you ever see me running you should run too because something is probably chasing me." Genetically speaking I am a sprinter, not a marathoner.

Attention all guitarists and enthusiast on The Mushroom Kingdoms' Fungi Forums:
Full disclosure, I have three competing Summer 2014 self assignments:
- Prepare to teach AP chemistry - Important, but not related to this thread.
- Get fit - Again, not related to this thread.
- Learn/Re-learn to play Guitar - In case you hadn't guessed from the titled...
I have an Ovation non cutaway acoustic electric and a Fender Santa Rosa electric acoustic. I have played other guitars, but these are the ones I kept.
I plan to purchase or receive as a gift Rocksmith 2014 PS3 and/or PC (Steam) by Father's Day or early Summer.
I played a lot (of guitar) during the early 90's, but haven't played much since. Now, my daughter has a 3/4 scale classical (nylon) guitar and seems at least a little excited about learning to play guitar.
On a related note, I want to learn/relearn to play guitar. More specifically, I'm interesting in electric guitar.
I have been out of the scene for a while, but as I recall, I loved the the warmth of the Gibson pickups, but also liked the range of Fender pickups/tremolos.
I'm currently on a budget, but the Gibson Les Paul Junior seems attractive: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ADQRXT2 or http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GPHHXGQ
I love the stain showing the real wood. For the record, I'd be happy with any wood grain/stain from chocolate to cherry. But, the lack of tremolo would limit my range. Specifically, it would eliminate certain Van Halen tracks I want to play. Note that while I am particularly attracted to Gibson, I am not against Epiphone as they have made significant strides and are nearly comparable (to my old ear) to Gibson on all accounts.
I am also very fond of Fender. Note the Fender Santa Rosa electric acoustic I still own. With three pickup and a tremolo, Fender allows more variation in sound. This is a big plus.
Here I should note that I grew up with Peavey (I still own a Peavey amp and also note that I am from South Mississippi) and Ibanez guitars http://www.swee****er.com/store/detail/S770PBNTF . I still think they are awesome(Peavey and Ibanez), but this may be a refection on my 80's and early 90's coming of age. I was also very fond of B.C.Rich at the time.
For appearance I prefer a Fender, Gibson Les Paul or SG with real wood slightly stained, but sound is more important.
For sound, I thing I'd prefer a Gibson with a middle Fender pickup and tremolo or a Fender with three Gibson pickups and a tremolo. I'm very stuck here.
TLDR; Please suggest a guitar for an old guy that loved the warmth of Gibson and flexibility of Fender. (Also, note an 80's/early 90's guitar sound preferred with natural wood tones a plus).
Suggestion?
Thanks in advance. (While on a budget, I hope to have something to practice on this 2014 Summer.)

« on: May 10, 2014, 12:11:23 PM »
Nice, but for the first half of the video why wouldn't Mario move left/right or even jump in the muddy water? In my opinion it would have been better in darkness with no room to move to the side. Also, if I recall correctly it took 3, 4, or more times for Bowser to jump to his doom in the original SMB3.
Thanks for posting in the thread I had forgotten about. I appreciate the relevant necro post.

It sounds like your laptop issues could be due to bad connections with the keyboard. Here are some guides that might help: http://repair4laptop.org/notebook.html
Even if you end up getting a new PC taking apart the old laptop might be fun.

I have a habit of splitting my screen between two tabs. Now, it's http://www.itworld.com/personal-tech/416118/microsofts-silly-waste-money-searching-et-game Microsoft searching for the E.T. game and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eh44QPT1mPE Neil Young's Heart of Gold. Interesting that both came up almost simultaneously.
