    Giving monthly to charities.

    Why do I donate to animal charities? Because I give to Salvation Army every year, and donate my outgrown/unwanted clothing, and do volunteer work at homeless shelters. My money goes to animals because they can't defend themselves/better their lives without my financial help. I can give my time...

    Miracle of Sound: The New Black Gold (Deus Ex: Human Revolution)

    Excellent song yet again, although I felt the need to comment on this one because it captured the overall tone and ambiance of the game. The lyrics were well chosen, and well sung, but the way the song "sounded" really reverberated with me (although I may have just liked the game too much)...

    Accept Your Quest. Collect The Fallen. Win an XBOX360 or PS3!

    Well according to the rules the contest ends in about 40 minutes, 11:59 EDT. Still no word on whether or not the contest ended prematurely though =P Here's hoping anyone who was going for last minute points still had it recorded

    Accept Your Quest. Collect The Fallen. Win an XBOX360 or PS3!

    I PM'd s0osleepie asking if the contest was prematurely ended. Hoping to hear back soon and will post the reply. Hoping the leaderboard was just frozen in order to update and remove anyone caught cheating. If that's the case I hope the badges people have found in the meantime are still being...

    Accept Your Quest. Collect The Fallen. Win an XBOX360 or PS3!

    I don't want to come off as a nag but 'official' confirmation that the contest is indeed over would be awesome =P Since the rules do specifiy a rather exact date and time for the 'contest period'

    Accept Your Quest. Collect The Fallen. Win an XBOX360 or PS3!

    Well that certainly annoys me,thought a last minute boost to my score would ensure my position on the leaderboard. Bah...congratulations to those who got on the leaderboard then, even if I'm bitter about it =P

    Accept Your Quest. Collect The Fallen. Win an XBOX360 or PS3!

    Is the contest over? I've been clicking on badges for the better part of half an hour now and my 205 on the leaderboard hasn't changed. The rules state that the contest isn't over until 11:59 EDT though. Just wondering 'cause I would like to know if I can stop now =P

    All Borders Bookstores closing

    This makes me sad for a few reasons. One of them being I prefered Borders to Barne's and Nobles but now I seem to have no choice - except the occasional and awesome personally owned bookstore. The other reason is complete digitization of books. To me, nothing beats the insurance of owning a...

    Poll: Was I the ONLY one who actually liked Dragon Age II?

    I enjoyed both Dragon Age games. I played through Origins so many times I have no intention of going back since I've seen it all in that game so Dragon Age II was a definite breath of fresh air since it was new but familiar. I have to say though my Nightemare playthrough of Origins was a bit...

    Ultimate Mood- lifter! What's yours?

    This is extremely odd and bear in mind that it isn't my only mood-lifter but at the end of most Cowboy Bepop episodes there's a phrase in the bottom right hand corner of the final frame. "See you Space Cowboy". Whenever I see that it just makes me happy =]

    Anime #3- Music in anime...your favorite?

    It's a tie between the music featured in Eureka 7 and Cowboy Bepop. Both series had awesome music, both in show, and openings/outros. If you haven't heard any of the songs, fix that...now =P

    Poll: Male reproductive rights

    A man makes a choice to gamble with his genetic material when he has unprotected sex. If you don't want to have a child, wear a condom. If a man is having sex with someone who tricks him into believing it's 'safe' then it's the man's fault for 1) having sex with someone of that nature and 2) not...

    final boss..... That's it?

    Mass Effect 2's final boss - I laughed when I saw the baby reaper thing and the fight wasn't difficult at all. Dragon Age Origins Archdemon on Nightmare - there were some difficult fights throughout the game and when I first played through the game I did so on Hard difficulty and found myself...
