Do agree that slap is ovverated as hell but knowing other techniques like slap, tap, pluck, using thumb alongside 2,3 fingers etc differentiats the great bassists from the "I don't know how to drum, sing or chords so I got lobbed with the bass and told to play 3 notes over and over" ones
Also, no picks...never...ever...Not even for fast tracks...never!...except if your name is Jason Newsted...because he's da man.
Aww gutted matePractise session would've been sweet. Oh well, perhaps next time around eurogamer time if I can pull my finger out and go to that or NFL weekend in October if I'm lucky.
Always had a hard-on for Ibanez. So slick, basic and light.
Not sure why but my guitar just sounds shit, dull and loud whenever I slap and every other time I pluck it never makes that twang sound...probably because the strings are too tight...I dunno. Had my current bass guitar since I was 12/13 that my dad bought me. It's cheap, heavy and ugly but it's so sentimental. Already changed the strings 3 years ago...I could just change them again but maybe I can get a decent second-hand Ibanez from Gumtree or something.
Bloody hell mate, that's blatant!
Noice, I really like this, much better than the stuff from GKMC. His voice sounds so much better too.

I've done it once or twice, it's fine. In fact, I prefer going alone rather than with other people as I can concentrate directly on the film rather than conversing with people. And for Gravity, yeah, I'd say it's worth it.
shorty - booooo I'm in North Wales all weekend
Awww Musha nooo! Will definitely give you a shout and make sure you're around before planning my trips to london next time. Promise When do tickets for Eurogamer get released anyway? and when is Eurogamer?
EG last year was my first VG conference, it wasn't what I expected at all. I dunno, I expected a bit more of a party atmosphere; loud music, loads of crazy attractions and people walking about in costumes and stuff.
You should have gone years ago when it was literally a bunch of TV hooked up to systems in a warehouse. No fancy booths, hardly any reps and no swag. They have been improving.
That sounds pretty cool actually, all guerrilla style. I could just imagine Dominic Diamond showing up as the MC, armed with some risqué nob gags and other assorted quips.
It's not that it was boring, everyone else seemed to be having fun. I just don't think it was my thing, I wasn't prepared to wait and queue for a game so all I was left with was the aforementioned big room full of nerds and TV's.
Tash, the grass is not greener mate. I should never have doubted you.

It's okay fella, now you know
Is that you, Sah?
Ah, know dem feels all too well. Yeah, I've been cinema a few times, nowt wrong with it. I see quite a few people sat on their lonesome when I go. The only thing I do hate is when the cashier at the desk gives you the 'LOL LOSER' look when you ask for a single adult ticket. Pisses me right off.
You often say that people give you "a look" Cy. Can I suggest that most people have their own shit going on and probably couldn't care less what you're up to? Like when you presumed that woman outside the job centre gave you "a dirty look".
Shit popcorn is often a major concern. I truly hope the popcorn lived up to your expectations.
I know, I also often say that people are judging me. Both these come with the anxiety I suffer from, it's not something that can be helped. It's 'calmed down' compared to what it used to be and it's something I'm working on.

When in Rome and all that. In a long queue? Play with your 3DS/Vita/Phone or banter with folks in front or behind you. Not in a queue? Wander around and take it all in. As annoying as it can be, videogame and comic expos are the only places where you can get away with geeking out. If I'm not taking photographs and checking out the new gadgets I'm talking to the folk working at the booths and asking questions about the product...which thankfully won't be "Will this be released in the UK and if so how much will it be in £ sterling?" when I'm at Eurogamer.
