History and Impact of the Wah Pedal

Cry Baby: The Pedal That Rocks The World from Joey Tosi on Vimeo.

I ran across this video today while cruising Metafilter. I've never been able to make good use of a wah pedal personally, but it's interesting to see how much of an impact they had on music.

Normally I'm not a huge fan...

I usually *hate* post-Shimabukuro technical ukulele playing, but this girl has something special going on. Then again, she might just be cute with neat style.

Dragon Age 2: A review - Part I

Let me start by saying that I *loved* Dragon Age: Origins, and Dragon Age: Awakenings. As such, I was incredibly psyched for Dragon Age 2. I even went so far as to pre-order it from Gamestop, a first for me. I didn't even do that for Fallout: New Vegas, another title I would have killed ten puppies to get my hands on the week before release.

This review is probably going to contain a lot of spoilers, so don't read it if you care about that sort of thing. I'll try to preface spoiler stuff with a warning, but I might get lazy.
