Who Loves Badass TV shows? Let's hear it!

I was gonna say the exact same thing about that guitar as you guys... I don't usually like that style at all but that one is cool! That really is a cool signature model, I'd play that sucker for sure!

PS - Trey, what kind of car is that in your avatar pic? I want one of those too, looks cool.

Thanks mang. That is my car - it's a 1996 Camaro (which happens to be made by some fine folks in Canada) that my parents were nice enough to pay for half of when I was 16. It started out as an RS model, which means it had a v6 in it and was just plain green. Since then I got the stripes painted (which are inspired by the 67-69 Camaro striping) and the wheels etc. When I was 22ish I spent way too much cash to put a v8 with some mods in there - so now it looks cool and it's fast

It's loud and white trash-y and needs quite a bit of work still but I LOVE it.

Way more than you cared to know I'm sure, but I like talking about my car

As for the Dethklok guitar - twenty bucks says that Bill from Mastodon is playing one within 6 months.

Oh, definitely! That would be a perfect addition to his collection, I wouldn't be surprised if he already owns one. When I saw that show, both Brendon and Bill were playing Explorers (deluxe maybe? not sure) but they were bound and tobacco burst and cool! The Dethklok version makes a lot of sense after seeing that tour.

Totally awesome, Trey! I wanted to know all that for sure! I love those Camaros too.. all Camaros really, those have always been super cool cars.

I love cars - unfortunately it's a really expensive hobby

[Ryan]

Sure is hey Trey! Great hobby though, very rewarding and you probably have to chase girls away with a stick cause your car is so cool!

OK I've been watching something lately and just enjoying the flip out of it. It's not tv. It's not movies. It's pretty nerdy... it's on YouTube...

It's called Let's Play and it's walk-throughs of classic video games. I love it! Last night I watched the walk-through for Hero's Quest 1: Quest For Glory, an amazingly cool Sierra game from the 80s that I absolutely loved. You watch a guy walk through the game and he narrates what's going on and it's so fun! Tonight I'm gonna watch the first Police Quest game!

Any of you guys play those old Sierra games or ever watch the Let's Play videos??

I love let's plays

[Companda]

I don;t know anything about Let's Play, but I'm all about old adventure games. I probably played all the old Sierra games when I was a young'n, the "Quest for Glory" and "Space Quest" series being my favorite of those.

But, my favorite are the first 3 "Monkey Island" games. Made back when Lucas Arts made a few non Star Wars games.

for companda:
I love monkey island

[Ryan]

Haha that's so cool that you love Let's Play too! I'm addicted, I'm getting a huge kick out of watching these old games. I played them all but I always sucked at video games! The Let's Play Hero's Quest 1 was just too fun and nostalgic, can't believe how much I enjoyed it.

[Companda]

Quest for Glory IV is where it's at, yo.

[Ryan]

As soon as I'm done watching Quest for Glory II I'm gonna watch IV! I only remember I and II from my youth, I didn't play the other ones...

I watched Resident Evil 4 last night.. I'm loving Let's Play!

[bob the r0bot]

check out some of helloween4545's and ssskinner's lps, they're two of my personal favourites.

[Scruffie]

I was like what the hell is Let's play till I saw this...

Any of you guys play those old Sierra games or ever watch the Let's Play videos??

I loved those old games! I had an Old Amiga (Infact I still do somewhere I think) to play them on.

No one's mentioned Leisure Suit Larry or Kings Quest yet and does anyone remember Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders? (That wasn't Sierra though)

Speaking of those old games did you ever play Captive II: Liberation & Elite II: Frontier, those were epic games... and i'm replaying the original Fallout right now... cool as the new ones are... they're just not the same.

There's a little short game you can download now called Five Days A Stranger, that's sorta made in the old Sierra Style, quite fun to reminisce, makes me wish I could program those old kinda games for fun.

I think I need to dust off that old Amiga...

[bob the r0bot]

yo scruff, have played any of 5 days a stranger's follow ups? they are quite worth it.

[Scruffie]

I have not... I didn't even know there was any! I'll have to look them up.
