1: AVGN: Im sure most people have seen the Angry Video Game Nerd at some point in time, but if you havent and grew up with console gaming then you will like his stuff. His collection and knowledge of the old consoles is insane.
This is one of my favorites, because i remember seeing a lot of the stuff advertised. Its really a great insight into console gaming history, and how crazy the industry was when we were growing up.
2: So after mental christmas work schedule, i bought a bass guitar:
similar to that, in a pack with a little amp. So far im really enjoying it. Ive been using youtube and web material to learn some scales and riffs. I started trying to learn with fingers, but i think im going to continue playing with a pick.
3: Bought a phone with Android 2.3 - my last phone was a few years old and a bit beat. There was a special on at work so it was about 1/4 off. So i decided to get my first android phone. Any recomendations are welcome, I seemed to have a few problems with getting movies to play on the micro SD, but i downloaded MX Video Player, which seems to be doing the job, apart from playing The Simpsons.
Its primary purpose will be distracting me from work.

Hadn't seen the nerd before, pretty cool as I remember using/seeing half of that shit. I think the most over hyped piece of shit was the power glove. I remember having my mind blown by the the movie "The Wizard". What an enormous let down.
As for the android phone it seems like you would get a lot of enjoyment out of the various emulators out there. I played around with the SNES one for a while, it was nice reliving the Ninja Turtles and SF2 days.

AVGN episodes about the castlevanias were good but the new stuff tilted me too quick so i turned it all off. Was it any good? :/

Just spent the last two hours watching various episodes (AVGN only), they were all good. Can't quite figure out if I admire the determination or feel pity for the amount of time that must go into clocking some of those frustrating as fuck games. Wonder what he has spent amassing such a huge collection of games, consoles and accessories.
