Today’s Brilliant Quote
Posted by on April 27, 2009
found by Tara while browsing the internet “When ever anyone says to you “Gay marriage erodes the holy bonds of matrimony,” I want you to show them these pictures of Mr. & Mrs. Asshat’s MTV-sponsored nuptials. If that doesn’t change his/her mind, congratulations. You’re high and talking to the cat again.” Source

Posted by on April 24, 2009
By Kristianna Let me start off by saying, pardon my dirty French both in the title and in this article.

Zombie Apocalypse protocol for dorms
Posted by on April 19, 2009
by Tara As someone who lives in a college community, I understand how necessary it is for someone to address the Zombie Apocalypse protocol for dorms.

DLC- The debate begins
Posted by on April 7, 2009
by Tara Is it wrong for game developers to charge money for DLC that is already on a disc?I don’t think it is, and you shouldn’t either. I have already taken a lot of heat for defending this practice, but I’m standing firm. I’d like to begin with giving some explanation on what I mean [...]
Spore meets Zelda?
Posted by on April 6, 2009
by Tara So, while browsing the internet today I found this amusing video. People had been using the Spore Creature Creature to make creatures from the Zelda series.

Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles
Posted by on April 6, 2009
By Manda Let me start off by saying I am not a Wii fangirl. I did not rush out and wait in line for one. The 360 is my pet system. I laughed at the pandemonium surrounding it; it brought back memories of Tickle-Me-Elmo. Don’t get me wrong- I enjoy the Wii- it just isn’t [...]
