			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been playing Rock Band 2 pretty furiously recently. So much so that it&#8217;s taken it&#8217;s toll on the equipment. I was playing so hard that I busted my bass pedal. So I went right out and bought a replacement Rock Band foot pedal. The one I got was a lot more study than the original one. It&#8217;s metal and I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ll be breaking it any time soon.</p>
<p>I went if in search of a replacement pedal and I found a bunch of <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.theinformationsite.com/presents/RockBandPedal">replacement foot pedals for sale here</a>. I have a Playstation 2 at the moment but I&#8217;m thinking of upgrading to a PS3 or maybe getting an XBox 360 at Christmas so I wanted to make sure I bought one that was compatible with all of them.</p>
<h3>Which is the best Rock Band Foot Pedal Replacement?</h3>
<p>In the end I went with <a href="http://www.theinformationsite.com/recommends/ValueRockBandPedal">this foot pedal</a>. It wasn&#8217;t the cheapest, but it looks the most sturdy and I certainly don&#8217;t want the problem reoccurring and have to buy yet another one. The great thing about it is that it looks like a <strong>real bass pedal</strong>. It&#8217;s compatible with the PS2 and Playstation 3 (as well as the Wii and the XBox 360). I have to say, despite the cost, I&#8217;m very happy with it. It feels great and works well.</p>
<p>I was quite tempted by <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.theinformationsite.com/likes/ToeBassPedal">this Rock Band foot pedal</a>. The shape of it is just hilarious and the metal foot pedal looks very sturdy. It&#8217;s not so much a replacement as a reinforcement foot pedal - it fits on to the existing controller so it&#8217;s more of a fix for a broken bass pedal. If you&#8217;re looking to fix your Rock Band 2 bass pedal it&#8217;s ideal, but that&#8217;s not exactly what I wanted, so I went with a brand new Foot Pedal relpacement.</p>
<h3>Rock Band Double Bass Pedal</h3>
<p>I very nearly bought a <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.theinformationsite.com/likes/DoubleBassPedal">Double Bass Pedal</a>. It&#8217;s even more pricey but it does have to be the coolest thing ever. I very nearly went for it, but I think my talents only barely extend to a single pedal. I don&#8217;t think I could handle the double pedals. Having said that, if you&#8217;re hardcore about your gaming, it is the ultimate Rock Band replacement foot pedal.</p>
<p>I swear it&#8217;s improved my playing as well. I definitely seem to be getting further and more easily as well. The pedal has a really great feel to it. I think I&#8217;m going to end up playing Rock Band a lot more than I have been. Whether or not that&#8217;s a good idea, you can decide for yourself.<span id="more-7"></span></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been enjoying playing the rock band drums so much I&#8217;ve thought about taking up the drums again. I played for about 4 years in my teens. I was in a couple of bands. It was a great laugh. I&#8217;d love to be able to do it again, but the drums isn&#8217;t really practical for me right now. Not where I&#8217;m living. Or in the flat I&#8217;m moving to for that matter.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been looking for somewhere new to live and I think I&#8217;ve finally found it. </p>
<p>It&#8217;s a cute little flat tucked away in a quiet area. It&#8217;s on the outskirts of time but it&#8217;s a pretty easy journey to the center. Now I&#8217;m getting old, it&#8217;s getting more important that I live in a <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/">nice area</a>. Long gone are the days that I can put up with just anywhere. I need somewhere more quiet with a bit of a park nearby.</p>
<p>And there&#8217;s a bit more than a bit of a nice park, there&#8217;s a huge <a href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/">park there</a> which includes a golf course, lake and wooded area. It&#8217;s pretty much perfect.</p>
<p>The flat itself is a little small but nice enough. It&#8217;s just been fitted up so everything is new. And the kitchen looks great. The guy who was doing it up, the son of the owners, is a kitchen fitter by trade. So the kitchen is obviously great. Some of the furniture in there is a bit less high spec than I&#8217;d like. But it would definitely do me for a while.</p>
<p>The one issue is broadband access. Not only is there no broadband there, but there&#8217;s not even a phone line. It shouldn&#8217;t be a problem to sort it out though. Just have to throw a bit more money at the problem. So long as it&#8217;s sorted out before I move in, there shouldn&#8217;t be a problem.</p>
<p>Now&#8217;s the worst part of the whole process - dealing with the agents. It&#8217;s ridiculous the things they charge for. The processing fees are massively exaggerated. And I know there&#8217;s no way I&#8217;m going to see my holding fee again. It&#8217;s just the sort of thing you have to grit your teeth and get over I guess.</p>
