Street Fighter Online DLC includes 'Obama' skin

Feb 8th 2009 5:32PM (Joystiq)
GAH!!! Enough Obama! He's in the White House and he's the first Ethnic President YAHOO!!! Can we get over the hype now, and its SO EARLY in his administration that we don't know how he'll do as president! Seriously people, its okay to like him, but for any president to have this much hype is ridiculous!

Big Ideas: Are games too easy? part 2

Feb 8th 2009 5:14PM (Big Download)
Games have gotten easier to an extent. First off, I think that with new graphics comes a new way of creating games. Games have almost turned into movies in which you have control of what goes on. That in itself isn't a bad thing, but I think the gaming companies want you to be successful so they make it easier for you to win. Also, there are difficulty settings... and too many of them. There should be only 2 I think, normal and hard. The Halo games have 4 difficulty settings, and Legendary which is the highest is just begging to be played, but why would gamers want to play something challenging when they can dominate and kick butt. Also, we old school gamers did not grow up with tutorials on how to play games, which are now in EVERY game... Except for Mass Effect which makes you figure it out just by sitting in a big field on Eden Prime. I don't think that all games are particularly easy, its just that we have so many luxuries that we didn't have back in the NES, SNES, Genesis days, such as unlimited lives and the ability to save the game practically any time we want. And as for the newer generation of gamers... Yeah they have no idea the type of hardships we played through... I was playing Mega Man 9 and with just my regular weapon, got to an extremely hard boss and lost, my 4 year old cousin was going around saying how bad I was that I couldn't beat it, when the only games he plays are Lego Star Wars/Indiana Jones and Star Wars Battlefront, all games that are particularly easy. So there are lots of factors, such as newer generations who want easier games, more luxuries for us old school gamers, Storyline over difficulty, and too many levels of difficulty to choose from.

Jamie Lynn: What to wear now that you're preggers

LEAVE JAMIE LYNN ALONE!!! PLEASE!!! ALL YOU PEOPLE WANT IS MORE MORE MORE!!! SHE'S A HUMAN!!! Just kidding. She's 16 and pretty much wasted her life by having sex. I mean yeah its a natural thing because we're human and sex is something we enjoy. I'm a virgin I admit so I guess that makes me not cool, but hey I can save my money and go have fun... Thats totally not cool huh? But being male I know I'll never know "WHAT IT'S LIKE" to go through a pregnancy, but hey if I got a girl pregnant I'd have to pay child support and I'd have a hard time finding a job and I couldn't have fun and go do things that are fun that people do when their in their teens and 20's. To all the guys, there are plenty of ways to have fun with a girl other than have sex with her. See a movie, get something to eat, a simple walk never hurt, and yeah be romantic, kiss, hug, hold hands, and if you wanna get naughty just stay away from sex because thats risky right there. I mean with all the teens out there that have influences on their peers and such who say its cool to have sex, do drugs etc. and movies like Superbad that say: That you need to be good at sex before college. Honestly, yeah I'm not a religious freak, but I do go to church and believe in god, and there is a reason why you should wait until marriage until you have sex! One, that person could have STD's or something bad that you or he/she may not know about and you could get it, and Condoms are not 100% safe, and also save your money when your young, then when you have the ability to support yourself, marry some great guy/girl and then have all the sex you want and all will be well no matter what! So yeah find something else to do thats fun, and do your best to resist the temptation of sex, because yeah its there but you don't have to do it to be cool... Money, talent, and personality as long as you're yourself is what makes you cool.
