Top 10 Biggest Gaming Disappointments of 2010 →
See, here’s my opinion on Xbox Kinect and Sony Move: stop being copycats as you are missing your audience. If you want hardcore, serious gaming…you will buy a PS3/Xbox. If you want to have fun party games, you will buy a Wii. Of course, there are some serious titles on Wii. However, the system’s intention is to have fun unlike Xbox/PS3 whose intentions are gaming.
Your audience...

Gifts, Presents and Men
Simplicity is severely underrated. Sure, it’s nice to have a multi-million dollar gift of some sorts (especially if it has amazing resale value - circa Rachel on F.R.I.E.N.D.S.). However, it’s the little things that matter. Nice gestures like picking up a gingerbread soy latte on a cold day “just because” or buying me fuzzy socks because I’m a girl mean the world....
Big Bang Theory
While rummaging through Target on Friday to find a great deal (trust me, there are loads of them…), I came across season three of Big Bang Theory on sale for $12.99. We had seen the show once while at my parents last year for Christmas and wanted to remember to watch it. Of course, it didn’t work out that way as our antennae didn’t get that channel and we finally got cable too...

This Bengals Blackout Thing...
…is making me giggle. Not just because it means I *might* get to see a Jets game for the first time in two weeks. But instead, because people have stopped caring that much. Where’s all that team support win or lose I was told existed? I’m sure there are still some who are putting on that jersey and waiving their hands at the TV week after week (Strawberry Twin, I’m looking...

Happiness Constructions
Happiness is a strange concept. I don’t say that because I’m currently depressed or unhappy. Conceptually, I’m probably the happiest I’ve ever been in my life. All the factors that matter to me are in place: I’ve got a great fiance who I can’t wait to marry, the best parents and family in the whole wide world, a great job that I get excited to leave for in the...

Fuck no. She passively aggressively insults people through her songs and paints herself as an innocent little girl who does nothing wrong, and all these people are out to get her. Each of her songs contains the words “rain, kiss, white dress.” I am sick of her…

So, this whole “Republican takeover” thing all the media is blasting. It’s not a takeover. It’s called politics. Majority swifts red, then blue, then back again. Government is a process, not “the American people have spoken out against the democrats.” No, there was no “speaking out.” There were two parties, two people, in every race. One of them...

50+ seat change….. Suck on that a-one-time!! Too bad, hippy libby. Did ya vote?
I will now refer to the status I posted on Facebook: None of the candidates I voted for won. I’m okay with this. I did my part. I voted. And as much as I disagree with those who did win, I respect the democratic…
