    Aww I love you too. -_-
  2. Damn Euros
  3. I can verify this. Multiple random T's spawned in Armory and I can agree on what Wicked said. And at some point I'm pretty sure it crashed the server.
  4. I'm in VA near the heart of it, but I've been through plenty, so we'll see.

  7. Is your name from The Shawshank Redemption? :O

  8. Ahh, leaning more to the golden oldies side? Yeah I'm pretty sure the only HSS models around are Fat Stratocasters and that's where you need to go. There's plenty of options with Fender Strats. Plus you can get pedals like a Boss Equalizer Pedal to widen your sound since the built in EQ isn't the finest. Those can go used for a cheap price ~$40 since buying a new one for ~$100 is ridiculous. In your case, a Strat is for you. I think it'll suit you very well. If you still wanna try some more out, definitely try an Ibanez, Epiphone, Gretsch, and maybe an ESP if they are to come cheap somewhere.
  9. Martin does make electric guitars, but acoustic guitars are their specialty.
  10. Implementing this around classes is pretty easy. It just takes planning and adjusting your body's sleep schedule. It took me two weeks to finally get it at school. As for a job, that's a little more tough if you work a 9-5 job like me. I feel like hours sometimes go wasted but sleeping for more than 7 hours makes me grogy and it feels like I never get any good sleep. I do't know what it is about 6 hours, but I feel so much better afterwards. The little nap(s) between classes definitely help too.
  11. Choosing a guitar is a pretty tough choice, I know. I have 6 or 7 and those are the best I have ever had. I’m not sure how guitar-savvy you are, but I can do my best to help you out. From the genre that you're looking for (modern metal, classic rock) definitely stay away from Squier's, Starcaster's or any starter kit. They only last as long as a band-aid and soon you'll be dishing out a lot of money on strings, polish, cleaner, straps, picks, etc. Don’t put out more money than the guitar is worth, you know? Ibanez’s are my favorite guitar company of all time. I have never been disappointed with them at all. Just got myself an electric-acoustic AE120 for Christmas and it’s amazing. Ibanez’s are entry-level guitars that are around the price range you’re looking at and provide the quality you need for metal/rock music. From top to bottom: the head stock is durable and grovers rarely get your guitar out of tune. Their necks are relatively thin and your fingers can glide across it. The body of the guitar is very light and sometimes you’ll forget you’re wearing it. Pickups are amazing; humbuckers are a good option when deciding on a guitar because they’ll give you that fat, raw tone you want. If you’re wanting one of them, try this. It was my very first electric guitar but I sold it to buy myself a Epiphone Les Paul, hah. The GRX20 is an amazing guitar with the kind of sound you’re looking for. If you want to dish out an extra $50 for a mash-up guitar made for both classic rock and metal, try the GART50FA. It has thicker humbuckers and more control over your EQ. Of course, you can definitely fin these babies used in shops around your place; might even find mine, hah. Other options you should consider are Epiphone guitars. They’re the son of Gibson guitars, but they cost less and sound a lot better in my opinion. It’s like building a PC and going out and buying an Alienware, the brand name will make it cost more. One guitar that is definitely suited for you could be the SG. Amazing guitar and their stock pickups are nice. I replaced my Les Paul with Seymour Duncan Blackouts, and it sounds so good. The most common guitar that you will see used and will be good for you are Telecasters, Stratocasters; basically any Fenders. You can never go wrong with a classic guitar, but getting them to be in your genre range is tough. I don’t think I’ve seen too many modern metal bands with a Strat, lol. You can get those really cheap though, and if you can get it cheap, you might have enough change up your electronics and give it the tone you want. I’ve never had a problem with a stratocaster, even though I use it for blues like Hendrix, John Mayer, etc. So all in all, I would aim for an Ibanez or Epiphone, and I’m positive that you can find one of those used with a good price, but also try out a Strat in the mix and see how you like it. My decision point on choosing a guitar is how it feels on my hands and how much of a beating it can take. If I paid good money for her, then she better be able to handle my type of abuse. Keep your options open and you are definitely heading in the right direction towards what you want. I hope this is helpful and good luck with shopping!
  12. Hi

    I love you.
  13. Polyphasic sleep schedules do actually work. At college I did this for a study in my psych class (I'm a psychology major) and it's crazy to see the results. When I'm at home from college, I do a biphasic sleep schedule (about 6 hours of sleep, 8 hours of work, 2 hours of sleep [nap time], 8 hours of staying up, and then I repeat.) Honestly this is a very good pattern for me since I work 8 hour days at work. My schedule is as follows: Sleep from 3 A.M. - (around) 9 A.M. (6 hours) Work 9 A.M. - 5 P.M. (8 hours) Nap when I get home from 5 P.M. to 7 P.M. (2 hours) Do any other business until 3 A.M. again (8 hours) This just works for me. I feel less stressed and I feel like I have more time in the day to do things. As for when I'm in college, I follow the Everyman sleep cycle, becuase of how spaced out my classes are. Since my classes are all 300-400 level courses, sleep and rest are needed. Plus short term memory is preserved during sleep cycles, making testing a lot easier. Try them out, they're really interesting and testing out the body in those ways are challenging. Let me know how everything goes. I'd be more than happy to help.
