I think at 4 years my XBOX lasted the longest out of everyone I know, but it finally happened; it red-ringed.  The warranty is up, but on the XBOX website it says repairs will cost $0.  It said the same for my friend who recently sent his in, then was charged $180.  He said I should call to make sure it wasn't going to happen to me ( Read more... )

Maybe it's because we had 8 years of Bush, but I get super excited when the government does what it's supposed to do now.  That being said, I think it was estimated that if they had given the American people the bailout money they're giving big business, all of us would have gotten $200,000.  Wouldn't that have fixed everything?

I have ( Read more... )

Can I say I have not been this excited for a game since DMC4?  More excited even, because it's probably going to be better.  I downloaded the demo last night and played through a couple times (took me that long to get comfortable with the controls, especially when X was the action button instead of A).  But, WOW.  So beautiful and so freaking fun ( Read more... )

The GameCube versions of Resident Evil 1, 2, & 3 are on their way along with Fable: The Lost Chapters for XBOX.  That sucks out half my Christmas money, the rest of which I think I already spent on food.  ._.  Playing Fable 2 made me want to finish the first.  I played a few years ago but it was someone else's game and they sold it before I could ( Read more... )

I just got my PS3 hooked up to the internet and am trying out the Home feature, which is like a Second Life kind of deal.  I have never ventured into the online realm as far as playing and chatting with people I don't know is concerned.  Let me tell you how much fun I am having saying stupid stuff and running laps.  I'm actually surprised more ( Read more... )

I'm probably going out soon and picking up Fallout 3 from Target. I got addicted to my boyfriend's copy over the weekend. Not hard to do since it's basically Oblivion but in 2277 America. At this point I can't say it's as engaging as Oblivion (I am, however, a sucker for medieval/fantasy worlds over sci-fi), but the sheer magnitude of places to ( Read more... )

Hello ladies. I come to you today in need of makeup tips.  I have long loved the nude lip look, but have never found a lipstick shade light enough to pull it off. Might someone know of a brand/shade that would do the trick? I'd like a nice pink shade that will lighten the lips, not blend them into my face. I've seen articles suggest using concealer ( Read more... )
