Okay, so the other day I had a weird interaction. I was fighting a Ken in bronze as Ryu. The first weird thing was he was just throwing fireballs. Like literally that's all he did, apart from a couple of EX DPs on wake-up, and a few DI attempts. Once I got in, he'd try to back off. Whatever, he was on Modern, perhaps he's just trying to feed off new players who struggle against constant fireballs. Beat him handily, I play Ryu, I know how to get in against fireballs, I've been taught well by people kicking my ass.

When I beat him it gets weird. The game just stops for about 10 seconds with Ken on the ground, and Ryu in his normal stance. Then it goes to the win screen for about 4 seconds, t

So you either end up woefully under-naaned or with far too much.

And through the lift doors you can hear the conversation of the people on the floor above/below you. And one of them is holding the lift so they can continue their conversation with the person who has just got off....

Instead of just, y'know, getting on the blasted thing.

(In egregious cases, I have been known to just walk past everyone and get on.)

*Note: I am not a rich posho, it's a short hop and it costs exactly £1 for the upgrade... For this you get a seat and a brew. Bargain.

I have a bass, it's nothing special, a second hand Yamaha RBX170 that I got for very little cash. I play the guitar, so I know a little bit more than a total newb.

First off, I need to change the strings (I know right, sacrilege, but a) I don't know how long these have been on and b) the fretboard needs a good oiling and the bass needs a general clean, so might as well change them) what strings should I get? I know it's preference but I don't have any preference, should I just get Ernie or D'addario rounds, or should I give flats or half-rounds a go? What even are tape wounds? (Thomastik Infeld strings would nearly cost as much as the bass, so no, before anyone suggests)

Secondly, I haven'

Thus far, I'm digging the new Meteora and Sixty Six from Fender, the DC Pro from Epiphone, the Classic Vibe Mustang from Squier, Schecter Apocalypse E-1 and Reaper.
