It's-a Me, TanRu

[TanRu]

Hi guys. I'm pretty psyched to have found this group (I think through a post on the PotBS forums where I post as yacullo).

Let me clear up all the obligatory stuff first:
- I'm over 25 (39 last week, woot )
- I've read the AUP and FAQ
- I've read the forum/server guidelines

Gamewise I play just about everything. I've been hooked since my dad brought home an Odyssey when I was a kid. Currently I've got a 360, a Wii, PSP, and a PC. Just built a new quad-core superduper machine to play the forthcoming generation of games.

I love FPSs and RPGs. I play lots of MMORPG betas but don't play many much past release.

I'm married so my gaming time is pretty sporadic. Most of the people I game online with are RL friends, and it would be great to have another group of people to be able to pick up and play with.

Let's see, what else... I live in NJ and work in NYC. Oh I have a blog I always forget to update at Planet of the Geeks

Anything else you want to know, just ask! Thanks, looking forward to
meeting you online!

Gday TanRu and Welcome,

I enjoyed having a look at your Blog, what does the Cigar Box guitar sound like?

Cheers,

YZ

Thanks a lot! Looking forward to gaming with you all. You can find me on xbox live as TanRu as well.

About the cigar box guitars, the first one (from the Make magazine instructions) sounds kind of like it looks, pretty clunky. The second one (with real strings and tuners) sounds great! I'm hoping to get one of my guitar wizard friends to play "In My Time Of Dying" or something on it and post a clip.

Just wanted to add that I'm heading out for vacation tomorrow, for a week with sketchy- to no- internet access. So please don't flag me as inactive or anything, I'm up for playing stuff when I come back!
