When you are at the Character Creation Screen, are you role-playing?
In your fav First Person Shooter, are you role-playing?
Some role-players build a back story on their character and write it into the game story line.


Music/Song/Artist Spotlight of the week.


Randall William Rhoads (December 6, 1956 – March 19, 1982)
Classical Music, Artistic freedom and a legend is born
Getting a spot with the Ozzman, 2 albums and 3 years later it all comes to an end.


At the age of 14 Rhoads formed a cover band called Violet Fox (after his mother's middle name, Violet), with his older brother Kelle on drums. 
Violet Fox staged several performances in the "Grand Salon" at Musonia, Delores Rhoads's music school.
After the dissolution of Violet Fox, Rhoads taught his best friend Kelly Garni how to play bass, and together they formed a band called The Whore (rehearsing during the day at Rodney Bingenheimer's English Disco, a famous '70s Hollywood nightspot), spending several months playing at backyard parties around Los Angeles. Together the pair went on to form Quiet Riot when Rhoads was 16.

In 1979, ex-Black Sabbath singer Ozzy Osbourne was forming a new band...
Randy Rhoads departed for the UK to write and record with Osbourne in November 1979.
The band, then known as The Blizzard of Ozz headed into the studio to record the band's debut album, which would also be called Blizzard of Ozz. Rhoads's guitar playing had changed due to the level of freedom allowed by Ozzy and Bob Daisley and he was encouraged to play what he wanted. His work with Quiet Riot has been criticized as being "dull" and did not rely on classical scales or arrangements.
