A post not about games? Whaaaaaaat?

Sorry for not keeping up normal updates. I've been in a bit of an anti-social slump lately. I've still been stopping in daily and checking out all your blogs and stuff, just haven't had much to post about or say. I'll be spending some time away from home the next week or two, but i'll still be checking in as much as I possibly can! You know that feeling where you feel like you're trapped? Thats how my state of mind has been lately, so I have to get out of my house before I go insane haha.

I've also been messing around with a cool program called Guitar Rig. Guitar Rig 3 to be exact. A friend told me about it and I figured I'd give it a shot since my normal effects processor is busted. I normally play a Jackson Kelly JS30KE, pretty much the cheapest Kelly you can buy, through a Digitech RP90, one of the cheapest effects processors you can get. It's served me very well for the past year and a half, but the plastic casing is busted and a friend of mine spilled something on it so half the buttons are unusuable.My guitar still has the stock pickups but i'm hoping to replace those with some EMG's or something when I get some money together. Anyways, Guitar Rig works great if you don't have the necissary hardware to get the sound you want in physical form. It's a bit costy, and it requires a relatively high-end sound card to work properly, but if you have the right requirements it can pretty much give you any tone you want to have. Even with stock pickups it can confuse me into thinking I have a 2000+$ rig. That's a good feeling to have when you're a guitarist.

Anyways I may be gone for a while but i'll be keeping up, I promise :P

Pickleman Guitar Solo? Oh snap

Thanks to Google Images, I found the original pickle image I used in the first Pickleman pic I posted a while back. And thanks to that, me having a crap load of free time and lacking a life, and Photoshop...

Tadaaaaaa!!

My Photoshop skills suck horribly, but I think it adds to the hilarity. It may suck but I'm proud of it :P
Enjoy the shreddage. Peace

F***ing depression, how does it work?

Hello universe. I haven't been posting the past few days and for that I'm sorry. Just been going through a bit of a mental conundrum. Anyone know a decent place to meet girls? I'm 19 and have NO idea where to go to find girls who aren't psychopaths. This whole being single thing is starting to drive me insane.

Annnnnnnyways besides my sad existence, I've still been playing Majora's Mask. I'm in Ikana Canyon now, so getting pretty close to the end. Here are some more lulzy screencaps. They really don't say his name much, and when they do its usually not something funny. But I'm looking sharp for when they do appear!




I'm not really sure why these two made me laugh.

"Why yes, mr. glowy seahorse. They do have strange powers."

Update

Not much has happened these past 2 days. I'm still a little sore but it's nowhere near as bad as it was. I've just been chillin and playing Majora's Mask. I'm currently about to enter the Snowhead Temple.

For the record I'm using Project 64 version 1.6, because it's the best emulator I can find for N64. I still have my N64 and my cartridge copy of Majora's Mask, but one of the cables to connect it to the TV is messed up and I'm too lazy to find a new one. Anyways, for some giggles every now and then I decided to name Link "Balls" and screencap some funny instances in which the name appears.

So far this is the only one that made me lol. I'm about to play some more so I'll leave you with this and hopefully I'll have more to show soon. Peace.

PICKLEMAN

So, I was looking through some really old pictures of mine and I came across this. This is something I did out of complete boredom when I was first experimenting with Photoshop. Even now it makes me giggle XD

How to keep your computer from sucking

I always, and i mean always, hear people talking about how their computer is so slooooooooooowwww. It gets irritating so i figured I'd write this up. My computer is no God Tier 1337 Lamborghini or anything, but i keep it running pretty well. Here are some tools and stuff i use to keep it running in top shape.

Piriform CCleaner: http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner
 This basically cleans out stuff you don't need. Internet cache, cookies, etc. It also cleans up registry errors which actually had a MASSIVE impact on how quickly my computer ran. I had about 600 errors the first time I ran it, and once I cleared those up I swear it doubled in speed. That's just my case, however.

Piriform Defraggler: http://www.piriform.com/defraggler
 From the makers of CCleaner, this one is a defragging tool (in case you couldn't guess XD). It's much more in depth and a hell of a lot faster than the default windows defrag. When you run it, if you click Analyze, then go into the file list tab and select everything it found, you can click defrag selected and it will only work on the fragmented files. That way you don't have to do a full drive defrag every bloody time.

Spybot - Search and Destroy: http://www.safer-networking.org/index2.html
 This one is a pretty powerful antivirus. Normally CCleaner and Defraggler keep me running full speed, but if my computer is bogging down for no apparent reason I usually assume it's a virus. that's where Spybot comes in. It's pretty easy to figure out, scan, get rid of the viruses, move on to being a happy bunny.
(\(\
(^-^)
c(")(") (sorry, couldn't help it)

And last but not least, actually this is probably the most important thing, DON'T USE INTERNET EXPLORER!! Not only is it much slower than other browsers, but it also has been known to have massive security issues and lets viruses just prance into your computer like a squirrel on speed. The only time I ever use Internet Explorer is when I need an update from the windows update website, and even then it's because Microsoft doesn't allow it to work with anything else. (bastards...)

Well there you have it. I'm no professional but this is what works for me. Oh, and by the way, these are all completely FREE! 'Cause being a cheap bastard is fun sometimes..
Anyways i'm off to beat up a homeless guy and burn his box down. Cheers!
