  Guitar Hero 3 Twinpack

  Hey dudes and dudettes,

  just wanted to drop a line Lady Mog and I finally joined you cool guys playing music rhythm games as we yesterday bought a GH3 twinpack for PS3.

  

  We actually were gathering some information for our upcoming apartment in two furniture stores but still got time till our bus went home when we were finished. As we were in a big shopping mall there also was an electronic store and we took a look there as well. There we saw it, a twinpack of GH3 with GH3 and two wireless Les Paul guitars for 75 EUR. Normally it's 90 EUR for GH3 with one guitar so we tried to find the catch, but there wasn't any and so we bought it. It was the first time we saw such a twinpack and it also was the last one for PS3, so lucky us I guess.

  We're still sucking too much to be any competition for you pros and I find it quite hard to coordinate 3 fingers in easy mode but let's see how this turnes out with a little more practice.

  Till then, "...played until my fingers bled..."

  Got a new TV

  Hey there my friends!

  Just wanted to show you off the new TV I got today. First of all here's my old SDTV:

  

  It has accompanied me for the last 8 years or so and has seen a lot of consoles, starting from Dreamcast, XBOX and PS2 to Wii and PS3. Having put some money aside this year I finally was able to get a HDTV. Mainly for my PS3 though for now, as we unfortunately don't have a wide spread of free HDTV in Germany via cable.

  So, here's the new one:

  

  It's a Sharp Aquos LC37 X20E, a 37" 1080p HDTV. I read a lot of reviews before buying it and it was the best compromise of all TVs for me.

  In the beginning I was a bit disappointed as the stock settings for color and everything are quite weird and ugly. After a lot of finetuning I think I got the picture quite good. I have to sit at least 2 meters away to have a good visual quality. Otherwise the image quality is altered by interpolation and compression too much. As my room is quite small and I sat very near to my old SDTV, this is a bit unfamiliar to me. I guess I get used to it.

  At the end of the day I'm happy with my purchase -- everything is working as expected. Have a good rest of the week!
