I have been playing piano and drums for around 8 years. Additionally I have been playing violin, chello, viola, and upright bass for 3 years. Also been playing djembe (african hand drum) and didgeridoo (Australian beatbox tube) for the past 2 years, and recently attempting to pick accordion.

Imo, the best instruments to pick up first are drums and piano (Most likely a lot of bias here). Learning them will further increase your knowledge of not only the specific instrument, but all the other instruments. Personally, it made learning new instruments much easier to learn and play.

If you wish to get into electronic production with programs like Ableton, and Reason, it would help ALOT if you already played an instrument. Knowing measures, beats, what sounds good/bad really comes into play. That being said it's still doable and easy to learn without prior experience with instruments.

Hope this helps~

Don't know much about him, only played in pugs vs him. He has some pretty wicked dm, and will definetly do more than fill the role of the scout slot. Would excel on a mid-high open team. Good luck Cigar~

Mister P is a really cool guy, doesn't rage, and brings a deep understanding of the game to anyone he plays with. Would do very well on either class on a mid-high open team. Good luck bud

Just made a lobby to test it out, players needed~

EDIT: Lobby seems to crash whenever the lobby-creator attempts to send a message.
EDIT #2: Actually might be when anyone types, testing it more thoroughly now.

At least you own up to it unlike other shitties.

Newbie Mixes/Pugs are LIVE as of this post!

Mixes will start at 9EST and end at 12EST. Pugs start now, and end when the sun comes up.

Drop on by for fun times.

When I first met highfive, I never really liked him - and for no reason. After getting close to him I found out what a mistake that was. He's super nice, really chill, rage-free, and has absolutely INSANE dm. Be sure to pick him up, you won't regret it. He can bring a deep understanding and dedication to the game that you will not find with anyone else.

Don't really know much about him personally, but from what I've seen he's a pretty chill guy and doesn't rage. Would excel and do well on a solid mid open team looking to stay together for following seasons.

Killing, if you are busy and are unable to admin, I would be glad to re-pick these back up and get them running.

I'm definitely going to get it, maybe even attempt to get into the PTR. Haven't played WoW in a while, but played alot in Cata for PvP.

I'm pumped for this, can't wait to play

Sounds good, see you there!

Newbie Marathon going LIVE NOW!

Because I highly doubt many coaches will be able to show up for all the 3 days, we will be running pugs throughout the entire weekend (Fri-Sun). Peak hours will be from 9-12EST, and these are the hours coaches should come if they desire to coach. That being said, if we have enough coaches, mixes will be run until we run out. Pugs will run as long as there are people.

If you wish to learn from the best, come Saturday from 9-12EST. During these mixes we will have many experienced coaches such as Eldritch, Indust, Marxist, etc.. along with our usual bunch of coaches.

I am still currently looking for another 1-2 admins to add to our staff. If interested, add me or leave a reply in this thread.

See you all there!

Highlander Newbie Mixes would be problematic unless we have a huge popularity from the start. They would require 2 coaches per team to catch everything. So alot of coaches is near essential. Also, There would be an insane amount of spies compared to engies or heavies for example.

We are going to incorporate Newbie Mixes with Tip of the Hats. Another stream event is possible, but it would be nowhere nearly as effective. Plus I prefer not to leech all money from the community. What will most likely happen is that well known players will stream the event, like Slin and Ruwin streaming newbie mixes.

A marathon is the most likely event that will occur. I'm attempting to get alot of very experienced players (Eldritch, Indust, Ruwin, etc...) to come coach for a good bit and participate in the event.

We are going to have Newbie Pugs, and Newbie Mixes running at the same time. The mixes would be at the regular time of 9-12 EST, and the pugs would run until they die (Usually die at 3-7AM)

On another topic, Newbie Mixes is now looking for 1 or 2 more admins to join our staff! Please have prior experience with adminin-ing and be mature. If you are interested add me here: http://steamcommunity.com/id/Classy_Noona/ or leave a reply in this thread.
