I believe it's the traditional way to explain your poor gaming performance
by suggestion it is in fact the games fault. THis normally has to be done at high volume.

I never managed to finish that, and lost the instructions so didn't know what the commands were. Typing in every verb you can think of eats up a lot of time.

( Captain Wow currently being a cunt in Infamous, Thu 15 Jan 2009, 12:09, archived)

I know, I did consider putting 'Bass' instead of guitar....
My inner pedant though is quick to point out that a bass guitar is still technically a guitar...

Joe Satriani - technically astonishing, but his playing seems to lack feel or soul, if you know what I mean. I'd rather listen to Stevie Ray Vaughn or Buddy Guy, personally.

I know EXACTLY what you mean.
technical ability amounts to shit all in my eyes - I went to see Paul Gilbert do a guitar workshop a couple of years ago and he's technically amazing, but there's a bit of soul there too which was good. Nice guy too.

there's a name I haven't heard for a bit! Did he demonstrate the electric drill thing he used to do with Billy Sheehan in Mr Big?

Lacking either technical ability or soul, I'm reduced to playing 3-chord punk where my woeful ineptitude is masked by distortion, volume and anger...
