Dominion is a new point and click strategy tower defense fantasy game from racoongames. You can now play this game on addictinggames and other flash portals. Its about a magician whose mission is to protect a castle from waves of incoming enemy. With the power of magical elements and archers, try to repel enemy armies away from the castle.
The game is as simple as any other game in this same tower defense genre. You wisely buy upgrades to your attacks, gain level up points to spend them in upgrading your attributes mastering all the skills to beat enemies. Each enemy type has their own attributes and characteristics as well and you it's up to you to figure out their weaknesses. At first you may find the game a bit challenging but once you learned about each enemy types' weakness you'll easily win. Anyways, I will be collecting videos of Dominion walkthrough so expect them here when I got my hands on them.
We all know what the road to Hell is paved with, and even by putting this out there, I risk one of Murphy's corollaries, but here goes ...
I have several projects pending. "Pending" can mean different things, and sometimes the phrase "twisting in the wind" is more apt, but what it mostly means is these potential books, movies, etc. are in some stage of waiting-for-somebody-else-to-do-something before I can move on them.
On any given day, the phone could ring or the email inbox could pop! and those would be like a starter's gun going off at a long-distance race. I don't have to be in the blocks, but I need to be ready to step up to the starting line pretty quick.
As a writer, if you are juggling several efforts, you have to leave time, because there is usually a deadline involved for some of them, and more often than not, these deadlines are shorter than they should be: That tie-in novel that had eight months on the clock when you started talking about it got dicked around before somebody made a decision, and five of those months have slipped past—but the deadline is the same.
Or there's an opening in a schedule because something fell through, and they need a replacement yesterday. Sometimes you can do it, sometimes you can't, and while I hate to turn down paying work, I have had to do so more than a few times because my plate was simply too full. Better than the alternative, but still ...
As a working pro, if you delve into work-for-hire or shared universes, you have to be able to accommodate a certain amount of capriciousness, because ... that's how it is. Writers who can step up and step in and get something done cleanly and quickly will get work sometimes because that is the overriding factor–if they need it Tuesday and you can deliver it and a better writer can't? They'll go with you. A pretty good book on the racks when they need it there is better than a great book half-done at the writer's house.
Um. Anyway, what all this means is that I'm moving a back-burner project onto the front burner. I have attended to the paying projects as best I can for the nonce, and it is my intent—which I hereby repeat doesn't always mean much—to put my energy back into a book near to my heart, i.e., Churl, the next Matador novel.
Since Ace has passed on this one, I'll be putting it up as an ebook, possibly a POD, and possibly in conjunction with half a dozen of the backlist Matador novels, once those rights are reverted, a process that currently ongoing. Might take five or six months for that, because that's the general flow of such things, and after I have that, we'll see what's what.
There seems to be a demand for these, but that remains to be seen.
Here's the rub for my fans: If this book gets done and up and sells really well, then I'll do another one soon; if it tanks, probably I won't be in any kind of hurry. So if you want to read another one, the more bushes you beat to scare up buyers, the more likely I am to put it at the top of the list. How's that for literary blackmail? (I'm still planning to write another one, but the question will be, When can I get to it? That will be up to the market.)
Would that I had a patron who would pay all the bills whilst I paint the chapel ceiling; alas, that's now how it goes these days.
I realize that by getting back into Churl, it's like washing your car–which, as we all know, is why it rains–and that another project is apt to thunder in and put a halt to Matadornity, but just so you know? That's the plan ...

Beberapa orang di Indonesia kadang menganggap anime sebelah mata dan ada juga yang malah merendahkannya. Orang-orang yang merasa dewasa juga kadang menganggap anime hanya untuk anak kecil, padahal banyak sekali anime yang bertuliskan 12+ sampai 18+ (biarpun banyak yg dibawah umur ikutan nonton XD). Nahh~ disini para anime fans mengambil suara untuk menentukan anime apa yang cocok dan direkomendasikan kepada orang yang tidak menonton anime yang nantinya dapat mengubah pandangan mereka terhadap anime. Berikut adalah hasil suaranya.
1. CLANNAD 444 Suara
Tidak disangka CLANNAD mendapatkan suara terbanyak dan menjadi anime yang direkomendasikan. Dari yang saya lihat para pemberi suara memilih Clannad nampaknya karena Clannad mempunyai cerita yang dapat dikosumsi oleh semua orang. Ceritanya yang menyenangkan menceritakan sebuah drama persahabatan, perjuangan, dan cinta yang begitu jelas didukung background music klasik dan solo piano yang diciptakan oleh Jun Maeda membuat suasana latar menjadi nyaman dan menjadi sesuatu yang ditunggu oleh penonton (saya sampe punya semua albumnya X3). Beberapa episode di season 2 sebelum ending yang sangat menyentuh sempat membuat semua orang menangis dan rasa tidak sabar untuk menunggu episode selanjutnya (Nagisa.. hiks~ T^T).
2. Code Geass 239 Suara
Tidak heran jika Code Geass terpilih menjadi anime yang direkomendasikan. Cerita yang luar biasa dari Code Geass pastinya dapat membuat pandangan orang terhadap anime berubah drastis, cerita politik yang kental, strategi yang jelas dan akurat, cerita per karakter yang unik, mecha yang dikendalikan untuk bertarung, dan kekuatan supernatural semuanya dicampur menjadi satu hingga menjadi cerita yang begitu luas dan hebat. Cara yang digunakan untuk menjatuhkan lawan dan memecahkan masalah selalu unik dan berbeda hingga menjadi sesuatu yang sangat ditunggu. Endingnya yang sangat tidak diduga pun membuat penonton ingin menyaksikannya dua kali (saya jadi pengen nonton lagi :3).
3. Angel Beats! 209 Suara
Yayyy Angel Beats! terpilih menjadi yang direkomendasikan~ X3. Menurut saya Angel Beats memang layak mendapatkannya, gambarnya yang begitu indah dan cerita mengenai kehidupan setelah mati yang disusun sangat baik benar-benar layak untuk ditonton, kisah per karakter yang menjelaskan bagaimana perjuangan mereka saat masih hidup sangat menyentuh tapi tidak lupa Angel Beats mempunyai komedi yang sanggat menghibur dan aksi pertarungan yang dahsyat. Lagi-lagi Jun Maeda mengisi background music dan theme song yang dapat membuat penonton menikmati suasana latarnya. Cerita yang tidak dapat diduga membuat satu episode sangat lah berharga, endingnya pun membuat kita tersentuh dan kaget karena arti dari judul anime ini terdapat pada endingnya (bener-bener ga nyangka kalo maksudnya itu >w<).

Tidak mudah untuk permainan strategi real-time untuk membedakan dirinya hari ini, karena genre ini jenuh. Dan tidak hanya diisi dengan bulu - tidak peduli apa selera Anda atau preferensi gameplay mungkin, kemungkinan besar sudah ada sebuah game real-time strategi yang sangat baik dalam 12 bulan terakhir yang akan menjadi pasangan yang cocok untuk Anda. Awal tahun ini, Blizzard Warcraft III bertemu dengan sukses luar biasa, dan masih banyak dimainkan dan sangat populer. Zaman yang lebih baru Mitologi membuat rekan sesuai yang baik, dengan skala yang lebih besar dan lebih epik merasa. Sementara itu, Medieval: Total War memiliki tingkat kedalaman dan kompleksitas taktis tidak ditemukan dalam permainan strategi yang lain, dan Misi Combat: Barbarossa ke Berlin menggunakan resolusi gilirannya real-time dan unit militer yang sangat realistis untuk benar-benar menemukan kembali wargaming modern. Dengan persaingan sengit seperti di semua bidang, sulit bahkan untuk game yang paling menonjol tahun lalu strategi real-time untuk tetap relevan hanya setahun setelah mereka dibebaskan. Ini benar-benar masalah terbesar dengan Battle Realms: Winter dari Wolf, yang secara teknis yang cukup solid add-on untuk khas bela diri tahun lalu-seni-bertema game strategi real-time.
Ekspansi $ 30 sebenarnya dikemas dengan permainan asli, dan begitu juga jelas dimaksudkan untuk menarik pemain baru ke dalam dunia Pertempuran Alam bukan hanya memberi mereka yang sudah memiliki beberapa unit Battle Realms lagi dan misi kampanye untuk bermain dengan. Namun, mereka yang tidak bermain Battle Realms sebelumnya dalam beberapa hal sudah ketinggalan perahu di game ini, karena belum berusia terlalu baik pada tahun lalu. Grafis yang canggih tahun lalu sekarang terlihat terasa lebih buruk dibandingkan dengan Warcraft III dan Age of Mythology. Lebih penting lagi, Battle Realms 'masalah gameplay belum dibahas dalam ekspansi, sementara lebih-baru permainan strategi real-time telah memasukkan beberapa Pertempuran Alam' inovasi (dan sentuhan gaya) untuk efek yang lebih baik. Namun demikian, inti Battle Realms gameplay strategi real-time masih luar biasa berbeda dari norma, dan sekarang Anda bisa mendapatkan banyak untuk uang Anda. Juga, mereka yang sudah memiliki Battle Realms akan mendapatkan rebate $ 10 ketika membeli Winter dari Wolf.
Kampanye asli Battle Realms difokuskan pada pahlawan diasingkan bernama Kenji, yang akan menjadi pemimpin baik klan Naga atau Ular dan berjuang untuk menyatukan negara di bawah bendera. Sepanjang jalan, ia pasti akan bersaing dengan klan Lotus keji dan klan Wolf barbar. Dua terakhir tidak memainkan peran sentral dalam kisah Battle Realms, tapi mereka tokoh paling menonjol dalam pak ekspansi ini, yang terjadi sebelum peristiwa game asli. Ini kronik kisah Grayback, seorang pemimpin Wolf yang mulai kampanye dengan melakukan pemberontakan melawan enslavers nya Lotus-klan. Grayback harus bersatu dan mengerahkan pasukan dan mengembalikan klan Wolf untuk kebebasan selama kampanye 11-misi.
Kampanye tersebut mendapat dari awal yang lambat, karena itu akan menjadi saat sampai Anda benar-benar membebaskan diri dari tambang serpih klan Lotus dan benar-benar dapat mulai dasar bangunan dan unit pelatihan. Anda akan pada awalnya hanya harus puas dengan apa yang Anda miliki dan pergi dari titik ke titik di beberapa misi yang sangat scripted tetapi tidak sama sekali menarik. Menggunakan ini dalam cutscenes-mesin untuk mendorong cerita bersama, dan sementara suara-over yang cukup bagus, dekat tidak menarik-up unit gumpal permainan tidak. Juga - dan ini telah menjadi masalah dengan Battle Realms sepanjang - karena Anda telah membatasi kendali taktis atas kekuatan Anda, pertempuran pada tahap awal Musim Dingin dari Wolf hanya mengharuskan Anda untuk duduk kembali dan menonton.
Sebagai kritik yang lebih umum dari kampanye, itu aneh bahwa ia berfokus pada apa yang bisa dibilang paling menarik dari empat Pertempuran Alam 'faksi-faksi. Unit-unit seni bela diri berbagai gaya dari permainan pertama salah satu daya tarik utama - itu adalah permainan di mana Anda bisa mengendalikan tentara yang tampak seperti mereka datang langsung dari Hong Kong film kung fu. Klan Wolf's Stone Age-tampak barbar, dengan otot-otot mereka melotot dan senjata mentah, berdiri di kontras dengan faksi lain dan dibuat untuk lawan yang menarik. Tapi Grayback dan klan liar tidak dapat membawa permainan serta Kenji dan saudara-saudaranya-in-senjata.
Battle Realms, produk pertama dari Liquid Entertainment, memiliki gaya dalam sekop - segala sesuatu tentang hal ini adalah licin, dan itu patut diperhatikan karena alasan itu saja, serta banyak lainnya. It's a real-time seni bela diri-bertema strategi permainan yang menampilkan puluhan unit besar yang tampak dari empat faksi yang unik, efek grafis yang mengesankan, dan model sumber daya yang inovatif. Memiliki presentasi, dipoles menarik, sebuah kampanye terbuka, dan beberapa mode multiplayer yang baik. Battle Realms memang memiliki beberapa masalah gameplay yang mengurangi sebagian dari banding strategis, sebagai tindakan yang dapat membuktikan akan sulit dikelola. Tapi itu masih merupakan pengalaman yang sangat berharga walaupun hal-hal ini dan harus menyediakan banyak jam kesenangan untuk semua jenis pemain strategi real-time.
Pengaturan dan karakter permainan jelas terinspirasi oleh beberapa film paling spektakuler Hong Kong seni bela diri - terutama karya sutradara / koreografer Tsui Hark - serta beberapa dari Jepang penuh aksi komik dan film animasi, seperti berdarah dan bergaya Ninja Gulir. Urutan berjuang luar biasa ditampilkan dalam tahun lalu film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon juga merupakan kerangka acuan yang baik untuk apa yang dapat Anda harapkan dari pertempuran di Battle Realms. Tidak ada yang biasa di dunia fiksi Jauh permainan Timur-seperti - bahkan petani sederhana bisa melawan sebagai seniman bela diri terlatih harus perlu timbul. Semua unit berbagai permainan dan karakter tidak hanya berdiri berdekatan satu sama lain dan hack pergi, seperti dalam kebanyakan permainan strategi lain real-time. Sebaliknya, mereka akan menyerang dengan berbagai gerakan dan teknik dan mengenakan cukup acara dalam proses. Berkat permainan yang indah animasi 3D secara penuh unit, belum lagi medan grafis yang menarik dan detail keseluruhan ditemukan dalam permainan, Pertempuran Alam memang terlihat mengesankan.
Sesuai dengan sumber inspirasi, tempur di Battle Realms bisa sangat kacau. Anda benar-benar memiliki sedikit kontrol atas unit Anda selain bisa bergerak mereka tentang (Anda dapat membuat mereka berjalan dengan mengklik dua kali), agar mereka untuk menyerang, dan memulai kemampuan khusus mereka jika mereka memiliki. Ini mengejutkan bahwa Anda tidak dapat melakukan lebih banyak dengan unit anda. Mereka sangat otonom - they'll otomatis terburu-buru untuk menyerang musuh terdekat, memprioritaskan ancaman baik, dan bahkan beralih antara berkisar dan serangan huru-hara yang diperlukan. The pathfinding dalam permainan besar - memberitahu unit anda untuk pergi ke suatu tempat, dan mereka akan, berhenti untuk melawan setiap musuh di sepanjang jalan. Tetapi Anda tidak dapat mengatur unit anda dalam formasi dan bukannya harus memindahkan mereka sebagai rakyat jelata (meskipun bergerak pada kecepatan rakyat jelata unit paling lambat dalam grup tersebut), dan mondar-mandir pertempuran bisa begitu cepat sehingga Anda hanya akan harus menunggu dan melihat apakah kekuatan Anda bertahan. Hal ini bisa sangat sulit untuk menarik unit keluar dari pertempuran, karena mereka akan tampaknya terus berusaha untuk kesukaran kembali ke medan. Juga, karena unit permainan yang besar dan cenderung menyebar ketika mereka berkelahi, bisa semua lebih sulit untuk melacak segala sesuatu yang terjadi dalam pertempuran besar, karena tidak akan semua pada layar cocok.
Mikromanajemen memerangi diperlukan untuk bergoyang peluang dalam mendukung Anda - unit individual dapat memiliki kemampuan khusus atau peralatan yang dapat digunakan dalam peperangan untuk melemahkan musuh-musuh mereka, mendukung sekutu mereka, dan banyak lagi. Namun, mondar-mandir breakneck pertempuran sering akan memaksa anda untuk hanya menggunakan semua kekuatan dan kemampuan khusus Anda sekaligus, berharap untuk yang terbaik. Namun tidak semua permainan ini-cepat serba - dapat memerlukan waktu untuk membawa struktur musuh ke tanah, selama waktu musuh dapat melarikan diri dengan beberapa petani dan mendirikan basis baru operasi di tempat lain, membuat pertempuran berlarut-larut.
Petani, unit dasar Anda, secara otomatis dihasilkan dari pondok-pondok petani itu bisa membangun. Pondok petani yang Anda miliki, para petani lebih cepat dihasilkan. Tapi unit yang Anda miliki, generasi petani menjadi lebih lambat, sampai Anda mencapai batas maksimum Anda unit - sampai dengan 50. Petani dapat membangun struktur lainnya dan juga dapat mengumpulkan dua permainan sumber daya, beras dan air. Bangunan baru biaya surplus beras dan air. Pelatihan baru unit biaya beras dan air juga.
Model sumber daya sedikit lebih kompleks dari itu - padi tumbuh kembali perlahan-lahan, tapi itu akan tumbuh kembali lebih cepat jika Anda memiliki petani air itu. Dan Anda tidak hanya membeli unit-unit militer seperti yang Anda lakukan dalam permainan strategi yang paling real-time - petani Anda melatih diri menjadi mereka. Jadi, pengumpulan sumber daya di Battle Realms menjadi proposisi menantang. Para petani yang Anda miliki, sumber daya semakin Anda dapat mengumpulkan - tetapi kecuali Anda upgrade petani dengan melatih mereka menjadi pasukan, Anda akan berdaya. Ini merupakan sistem yang menarik, terutama setelah Anda faktor dalam beberapa perincian yang lebih bagus, seperti hujan tiba-tiba mengisi semua sawah atau harus menggunakan air untuk memadamkan bangunan yang terbakar. Untungnya, proses pembangunan bergerak sangat cepat di Battle Realms, dan karena ada batas atas cukup ketat pada berapa banyak beras dan air dapat disimpan, Anda akan memiliki rasa yang baik ketika ekonomi Anda berjalan dengan baik dan mampu untuk berkomitmen pelatihan militer.

I got a quick turnaround–no pun intended–on the DVD I ordered, Dave Mullany's Introduction to Blues. Showed up here one day after I ordered it, some kind of mail delivery speed record, even from Portland to Beaverton, I think.
Mullany has plenty of credits, and the vid is laid out simply: There is an introduction, a tuning reference, and detailed lessons on how to play four songs: Robert Johnson's Love in Vain; Eli McDaniel's Before You Accuse Me; Blind Boy Fuller's Step It Up and Go; and Good Morning Blues, by Brownie McGee. Comes with a TAB/standard notation/lyrics booklet, about eighty minutes of instruction. Split-screens, close-ups, like that.
I dunno if you've worked with these kinds of vids, but this is a good one. Mullany plays the first verse or two of a song, then breaks it down into chords, fingering, rhythm, and takes you through each slowly. Blues shuffle, turnarounds, fingerpicking, enough so you can get a flavor of different styles, from delta blues to a little jazzier ragtime. First song is the easiest and they get a little more difficult as you go, but nothing scary for somebody at my skill level.
The video is clear, the production clean, and the material, which is basic, presented well. It's basic blues, but if you are a beginning guitarist still having trouble switching from an A- to a D-chord, probably better you wait a while before you get this–blues are simple, but as we all know, simple doesn't mean easy ...
I stuck the vid into the computer and went through the first lesson, and while I haven't gotten it down yet, I did learn Robert Johnson's classic turnaround, and got to practice the shuffle in A.

MISSION 15: Photogenic
Go and talk to Nate outside the Headmaster's Room on the second floor of the main school building. After a cut-scene you will be with Nate and Dave outside the Dormitories. You need a rope to get up through the open window, so you must head back to the main building. If you got the key in ?The Goth-Father' mission, you can head in through the front entrance. If not you'll have to go in through the open window in the playground area.
Go to the storage room on the second floor, turn on the lights and then pick up the rope from the shelves.
Head back to Nate and Dave outside the dormitories. Talk with Nate and he'll give you a camera with 6 pictures left. After a cut-scene you'll be in the Girl's Dormitory and a timer of 3 minutes will be counting down. Interacting with each bed will give you a description of the girl and then you are asked if you want to take a picture. If you don't find good enough pictures Nate will make you try again.
Each girl has a rating out of 5 (apart from Miss Cummings - the hot nurse - who has a rating of 15) The objective is to get a score of over 20 with only 6 photos. So the way to complete this mission is to take pictures of girls with a rating over 3 (on average).
Go to the Dormitories and talk with Faye who is standing outside your bedroom. It's PARTY TIME! If it's still daytime go to bed and you will awake at midnight for the Party. After an encounter with Dave as you leave, head to the Assembly Hall in the main school, this is where the Party is.
Feel free to mingle and talk with people. Talk with Lilly to start a drinking based mini game. Alternately hit the Left and Right Arrow and try to beat Lilly. It doesn't matter if you win or lose but you have to attempt it.
Next go and talk with Zena and take part in a Dancing mini game. Hit the correct Arrow buttons as they hit white target strip. Again it doesn't matter if you do well or not, but you have to at least attempt it.
After you have tried these two games, you can now talk to Nate. After a cut-scene go and talk to Nate again who is standing in the centre of the dance floor with lots of people around him.
He shows everyone the photos you got for him in the last mission you did for him, and tries to make everyone hate you. This starts a fight mini game. Hit the key that flashes on screen as fast as you can to help you defend yourself and make attacks. Again, you don't have to win, it doesn't matter either way. (but he deserves a good beat down so try and win!) After the fight a cut-scene will play, after which Dave will ask you to come out to the Sport's Field because he's found something. To dig up the suspicious lump you'll need a spade but it's locked in the shed. The door is locked with a rope and padlock, so you need to find something to burn it off. Head to the main entrance where Wendy and Vincent are smoking. Talk with Vincent and he'll give you his lighter, go back to the shed in the Sports Field and use it to open the door. Go inside and get the spade, and as you leave a cut-scene will start.
A video version of Wasted Youth Part 1 walkthrough will be posted in this video when they go live.
Youre Toast is a new running arcade game on addictinggames. It features a toast with hands and legs capable of running, jumping and dashing on rainbows. You play as the living toast and apparently, there is a giant monster trying to eat you. Run like any other toast being chased by giant monster. Jump over the gaps of the terrain and pop into toasters not to be burned but to get a little boost. Also grab peanuts and jellies to activate the rainbow dash power up.
The game is hilariously addicting and fun. But can also be a little frustrating at the beginning. You can also try to go for the achievements if think you have it takes to be the ultimate running toast. Anyways, for some bits of the gameplay, here's a Youre Toast walkthrough footage.
Silly Sausage is new platformer arcade game from one of our favorite game publisher, nitrome. This game is about a dog, a different breed of dog - a stretchy dog. Your job is to safely navigate the lovable sausage like dog through the dangers and obstacles that lay ahead in each level. Search for treasures as you guide stretchy dog contort himself through pathways and pipes.
As always, Nitrome had another job well done in this game. It features 30 fairly challenging levels and really addicting gameplay - yes sticking on walls is somewhat addicting. It's like a dog had possessed the power of Plastic Man. Protip: Timing is key to not being hit by those rolling blades. Anyways, I assume that all of us playing this game had passed through the first several levels so for now let's just cover in the Silly Sausage walkthrough the further stages in the game and the rest later or if I don't get lazy gathering videos.
I use a leather guitar strap thingee called a Neck-Up. It's a great gadget; it allows you to prop the guitar on your leg with, well, the neck up, and if you play in the classical position, i.e. sitting, it keeps you from having to prop your foot on one of those classical guitar foot-rests. These can be bad for you long term, sciatica and like that, and when you can keep both feet flat on the floor, you can use a regular chair and not have to worry about carrying your foot-rest with you. Way more comfortable, too.
Acoustic players who prop their instrument on the other leg, it works fine for that, too.
Mostly, it works great most of the time. Now and then, one of the suction cups that keep it attached to the guitar comes undone. (If you have an acoustical with an end pin, you use only one of the cups, which attaches to the waist of the guitar. If you don't have an end pin, as in a classical nylon stringer, the thing uses two suction cups.)
There are two sizes of cups, and for security, I ordered the larger ones. But even so, the strap goes slack now and then when the upper suction cup lets go. I think it has to do with the finish, which is thin on my guitar.
Not dangerous, the guitar is on your lap because you are sitting, so it doesn't go far, but it is annoying.
So, since I had a couple of extra suction cups, it occurred to me that I could upgrade the system, and I added two more of them into the mix. Two high, two low, paired large and small.
Much more secure with four instead of two. It hasn't peeled off accidentally yet.
There's nobody to take an instrumental solo at the jam session I attend. I can do a little fingerstyle and a couple of single-note or double-stop leads on this and that, but I'm more like Guitar George in Dire Straits first hit, "The Sultans of Swing:" I don't know all the chords, but I'm strictly rhythm, I've never wanted to make it cry or sing. (Digression: Seems like only a little while ago that song came out, but not really, it was 1979 when it first rolled into MTV's stage. Thirty-two years. Lord, how time flies ...)
Mmm. Anyway, I realized that at the jam group if there are three rhythm guitarists, one of us needs to step up, and if it's me, I'm gonna have to at least learn the pentatonic boxes.
These "boxes" are patterns on the fretboard that, when properly played, give you the ability to do leads over chords.
For those of you not guitarists, playing lead involves knowing one's scales, and one can get by with pentatonics because they tend to sound pretty good over a lot of blues, rock, or folk. I know two of these, but there are five in the CAGED progression–the letters stand for notes–that I should know and be able to play.
(This doesn't scratch guitar modes very deeply. Let me exhaust my knowledge of that here for you:
Ionian - Same as the major scale
Dorian - A scale with a flattened 3rd and 7th
Phrygian - A scale with a flattened 2nd, 3rd, 6th & 7th
Lydian - A scale with a sharpened 4th
Mixolydian - A scale with a flattened 7th
Aeolian - Same as a natural minor scale. A scale with a flattened 3rd, 6th & 7th
Locrian - A scale with a flattened 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th & 7th
If this all sounds like Greek to you, that's because it is, and good guitarists can play these without knowing the names, they just noodle them out.)
All of which is to say that I'm going to drop round Artichoke Music, which is a store/music school, and take a basic blues class. I have the teacher's DVD on order, and I'll fiddle with that, then go and see if I can make a dent in my ignorance ...
Pogo Rampage is a new action platformer game from yzigames. This game allows you to go on a rampage pogo style! Hop on civilians, trucks, cars, planes and even satellites orbiting the planet. Earning as much points as you can through stringing hit combinations can be quite fun but also a bit of a challenge. You will earn in game cash from the points you make and can spend them to purchase upgrades for your pogo stick. So what are you waiting for? Hop on your pogo up to the ending.. Wait, there's no ending in this game so the pogo rampage goes on forever.
Use A and D on your keyboard to control your character left or right. For some tidbits of the gameplay, here is some sort of a Pogo Rampage walkthrough showing bits of the game.
