This is sort of the week wrapup for blogs, eh?  In Dev Blogs we have some neat stuff.  Reiko left a link to her site which includes some cool animation, Neofreak keeps telling us the things that make his blood boil, Sasquatchking gives a shout out to the musicians who are doing it out of love not money, Battilana breaks down some of the smoothest music ever, Drakula gives us an update on the #1 Bus, and my blog there is at the end. 
 
For fan blogs we have Dustjavo's epic story of his rise to power in Guitar Hero (part 3 has an awesome ending if you've read the first two parts...it's worth the effort).  And let's all wish Bounchfx some luck with his internship at GarageGames.  Have an awesome weekend!

Part 2 was definitely the best.&nbsp; Part 3 lacked a lot of zest.&nbsp; It should've been an epic battle on Expert leading down to most effective use of star power, or an accomplice of his sabotages your (Dust) guitar, but you still manage to come back in the end.&nbsp; <br>

If you notice, I skipped a year in the story because I just wanted to write about me kicking ass <img src="http://www.rockbandgame.com/file/smile/wink.gif">. If you think about it... there's always room for a sequel!</p>

<div style="padding: 10px;">I like the last part because it says that
you were inspired to take real guitar classes/lessons.</div><div style="padding: 10px;"> That's where
it's at man. </div><div style="padding: 10px;">The games are fun as hell but a healthy dose of a real
instrument does a person good. Just keep at it and the better you get
the more fun it will be, trust me.
</div><div style="padding: 10px;">I think I started lessons when I was like 8 took it for a year then I
was like 'bleh bleh practicing is stupid bleh bleh', so I quit like a
little $*&amp;%#. Then when I was 13, I wanted to learn guitar again
out of nowhere, so I picked it up and did. didn't get any lessons, but
over time just getting better has made me want to play more, now I play
about an hour a day normally. </div><div style="padding: 10px;">Now, to think, if I had just kept playing
all those young years, I would be easily twice as good as I am now. I
regret that, yet at the same time I know that as long as I keep playing
I will not only enjoy myself but learn and keep a valuable skill that
has become essential to me. </div><div style="padding: 10px;">I could probably be better if I had a
training regimen, but do whatever makes you happy, because in the end,
I think that is what it is all about.
</div><div style="padding: 10px;">Good luck with it man, and I hope you enjoy it. Music is wonderful for
the soul. </div>
