zircon has a good tutorial on synths, which includes links to free synths. Another good place to find synths (or just about anything else) is www.kvraudio.com. EDIT: here's Andy's synth tutorial

If you're creative with how you sequence it (ie finding ways to fake all the appropriate dynamics) and have a good distortion (ie one designed as a distortion/amp modeler for real guitars, rather than one designed for synths -- if you don't want to spend money, I reccomend Guitar Suite), it can be done acceptably. But really the only way to make it sound like a real guitar is to have a real guitar. If you want a guitarrist, I reccomend checking out the live performers database.

Damn, how did DC end up in the consolation bracket? He's quite good. EDIT: Ah, I see, you got matched up against the top three. Tough break.

I really want to come, but the timing might not work out that great... I'll see how things are shaping up.

Yeah, I figured it was probably the last room. One thing I need to remember to do is stock up on bombs and arrows.

I wasn't counting levels, but I got to a room with three darknuts, with all my bottles empty, my rupee supply almost empty (ie no magic armor), and a heart and a half remaining. Needless to say, I got pwnt.

Mmm... badassery

Ok, the cave of ordeals is fucking evil.

You also have an awesome name

Why the fuck did she do that, anyway? I didn't get that at all.

Oh, man, you think it was good on the album, you should have heard it live at MAGfest. It was fucking amazing.

This one wins this topic.

So how about that ball and chain. Is that one bitchin' item or what? I think one of the things this game does very well is play with your expectations. The Snowpeak mansion is a perfect example of this; that's simply not remotely like what you'd expect a Zelda dungeon to be, yet it works brilliantly and has some great puzzles. Even the item plays with your expectations; you know you gotta get through a lot of the ice, but you expect fire arrows or a fire rod or some other such thing to let you melt them. The ball and chain is a complete surprise. The spinner is another example; completely unlike any previous Zelda item, but it works so well, and they designed one seriously bitchin' dungeon around it.

Bwhahaha... made some bigass upgrades.

This was awesome at MAG. So when do we get a video or recording of Blood on the Aphault?

[08:12] <FiremanJoe> Sorry guys, I'm having some pretty bad network/connection problems [08:15] <FiremanJoe> I think I'm gonna have to withdraw from the comp EDIT: just beat Kamoh 3-0

Calpis, you bitch. You have overtaken me in the standings. Your ass is mine. MINE, YOU HEAR ME?

Where is this "Cave of Ordeals" you speak of?

This is one seriously bitchin' mix.

Finals should definitely be recorded.

Thus far I haven't been able to catch fireman joe online to play him, and haven't been able to connect to Kamoh.

But why is it that the previews are all on Happiness from SSX3? Is it just going to be the same courses as SSX3, or what?

Wait, so there's another way to do damage in the final battle besides "chance"? What is it?

Really? I'm playing on dual monitors, and I seem to be doing fine.

I can never get the fucking Helm Splitter to work, because whenever I try to do a Shield Thrust, I always end up doing a Spin Attack. Which really blows cock.
