Its sexy hourglass figure, of course. nbsp; 09. You miss it when itrsquo;s gone. nbsp; 08. You donrsquo;t want to share it with anyone else. nbsp; 07. There are TONS of accessories to buy for it! nbsp; 06. You donrsquo;t get much done when itrsquo;s around. nbsp; 05. It can be obnoxiously loud sometimes. nbsp; 04. Yoursquo;re either pushing all the right buttonshellip; or all the wrong ones! : ( nbsp; 03.

(Except that their extremities donrsquo;t disappear at certain angles or distances.) They are fun, however. Just like in a game (Oblivion, DOA4 etc. etc.) where you can edit your characters hellip; modifying your avatar is very addictive. There arenrsquo;t a whole lot of clothing options (and how about the lack of SHOE selection for the ladies ZOMG! :P ) , in time though I think that many more accessories will become readily available through download or achievement. All in all Irsquo;m satisfied, except for the incessant ldquo;Waverdquo; while watching yours http://pwned.com/showblog/3654/thisgirlsgotgame/NXE/ http://pwned.com/showblog/3606/thisgirlsgotgame/Gears-of-War-2/ Gears of War 2 Some Quick notes from my first Glance nbsp; nbsp; (Status at time of Commentary: Campaigning on Chapter 1, Beat Horde level 50 casual, have played: all new game types, new multiplayer maps, redone multiplayer maps, and have used all the new weapons.) nbsp; Campaign: nbsp; 1. As promised: co-oping at two different levels of difficulty merges pretty seamlessly, although itrsquo;s obvious they have excessively pussified every level of combat. Casual so far is more like ldquo;sit along for the riderdquo; and Hardcore isnrsquo;t much better. You must play any level of difficulty through once first before you can unlock Insane. nbsp; 2. Finding collectibles is as easy as walking near them, because a pop-up ldquo;press X buttonrdquo; appears on your screen. As long as you take your time on your first go through, the mostly linear levels donrsquo;t take long to http://pwned.com/showblog/3606/thisgirlsgotgame/Gears-of-War-2/ http://pwned.com/showblog/3564/thisgirlsgotgame/My-brand-New-to-me-Atari-/ So i just thought i would stop by and post a note up here, for those of the world who actually understand my nerdy excitement. Other Gamers. nbsp; I got my very own Atari 2600 yesterday! FOR FREE!!!!! nbsp; It came with Fast Food, Video Pinball, ASTERIODS ANNNNDDD SPACE INVADERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm sure you all can appreciate the fact that if i told and people IRL... say at work... their reactions would be "thats and old piece of crap -- why would you wnat that?" or "Isn't that think like as old as you are?" or even "But...you have a Wii and Xbox and stuff anyways though..." nbsp; And yes, those WERE some of the things they said. :(nbsp; But i knew that at least some of you here would appreciate why i believe this to be so nergasmic. The nostalgia alone has got me all Hot and Bothered! nbsp; YIPPPPIIIIEEEEE! http://pwned.com/showblog/3564/thisgirlsgotgame/My-brand-New-to-me-Atari-/ http://pwned.com/showblog/3481/thisgirlsgotgame/HELP-ME-PWNED-/ FIRST THINGS FIRST. I LOVE PWNED, HAVE NO INTENTION OF LEAVING IT/ UNDERMINING IT, I JUST WANT TO FIND SOME PEOPLE TO WRITE WITH ME!!!!!! nbsp; Looking for Bloggers! I am looking for people who are responsible, but donrsquo;t take things too seriously. I am an Equal Opportunity staff picker-outer. (unless I donrsquo;t like you. *bam* lol) There are very few requirements for the writers; all I ask is one unique blog per week. Blogs can vary in size, but are limited to Gaming/Gaming Culture subject matter. What I look for most in a writer is a good sense of humor, someone who loves to game, and loves to write about gaming! Any questions donrsquo;t hesitate to ask. There are multiple blogging spots available, but get back to me soon, Irsquo;m not publishing the site without a full crew, mateys. nbsp; TheSoftcoreGamer will be a .com. belee dat. nbsp; It's a site currently in http://pwned.com/showblog/3481/thisgirlsgotgame/HELP-ME-PWNED-/ http://pwned.com/showblog/3218/thisgirlsgotgame/Inter-Goomba-Relations/ Also Available At: nbsp; Inter-Goomba Relations: By FleshandLace After going over the latest Bi-Annual Goomba Affairs Report, I feel it necessary to summarize the current state of Inter-Goomba relations for everyone without clearance to view the actual publication. This startling document shows how apparent the lack of Goomba/ Paragoomba civility really is. You may or may not be aware, but those tensions have been mounting ever since the first plumber came to the mushroom kingdom to find and save the Princess. Forced to always look forward, and only walk side-to-side was a constant frustration to the Goombas, and became the foundation for all of their future complaints. Usually restricted to very small sections of the land, they were bored to tears and unable to leave their posts to eat, sleep, socialize or even . . . well letrsquo;s face it, everybody poops! http://pwned.com/showblog/3218/thisgirlsgotgame/Inter-Goomba-Relations/ http://pwned.com/showblog/3201/thisgirlsgotgame/To-Avatar-or-Not-to-Avatar--That-is-the-Question-/ Also Available At: To Avatar or Not to Avatar? By: FleshandLace nbsp; Achievement Points are the blood that surges through most Xbox360 gamers veins. We love them. They are the reason (beyond complete social-ineptitude or total hardcore gamernerdiness) to play a game multiple times, and on the most difficult settings. No matter how redundant they are, we keep coming back for more and morehellip; and more of them. There is nothing like unlocking an achievement to make you feel like your time spent gaming has been well worth it. One game in particular is upheld as the easiest 1000 achievement points out there... Avatar: The Last Airbender. If you haven't seen the video on YouTube which shows how you can get all 1K points in this game in less than two minutes, I have to ask. Where have you been? I can only suppose you could have been hiding in your basement, hooked up to http://pwned.com/showblog/3201/thisgirlsgotgame/To-Avatar-or-Not-to-Avatar--That-is-the-Question-/ http://pwned.com/showblog/3105/thisgirlsgotgame/Is-the-Challenge-Gone-/ Canrsquo;t find that dungeon? Is that last treasure chest or item more elusive than the others? Have a puzzle that is driving you up the wall? Are you sick with the Boss-Battle Blues? What is all the fuss about anyways? Take a deep breath, and walk it off kiddo. nbsp; Once upon a time, if you were stuck playing a video game (besides throwing the controller or nearest random object across the room) you didnrsquo;t have many options. You could ask your brother/sister or a friend, but of course that would involve embarrassment, and lots of mocking. You could consult a strategy guide. (Psht! Hoist up the white flag why donrsquo;t you! Plus, what if someone saw you buy it?! Your credibility would be shot!) Besides, back then the likelihood there was one available was pretty low. Your last and final option would have been to just hunker down, log some hours of frustration, and Fi http://pwned.com/showblog/3105/thisgirlsgotgame/Is-the-Challenge-Gone-/ http://pwned.com/showblog/3046/thisgirlsgotgame/BXBLFF/ So Irsquo;m not sure exactly how long Irsquo;ve been on XboxLive. I want to say hellip; I finally got my own account (instead of playing on my boyfriends acct.) just after Gears of War came out. It may or may not have been the fact that I was contributing to his achievements, and wanted him to earn everything for himselfhellip; or because I wanted to everything I earned to be mine. Regardless of the reasons, I think I carried maybe 1 -5 friends over that were all mine to my new account. nbsp; I still have them on my Friends List. nbsp; Friends on Xbox Live come and go, everyone knows that. I think that my Friends List is hovering around 95 all the time. Most of those people are subject to deletion on a whim. I add them because they bitch if you donrsquo;t accept their request ASAP. So to keep down the awkwardness, I usually accept. Everyone has these people on their list, http://pwned.com/showblog/3046/thisgirlsgotgame/BXBLFF/ http://pwned.com/showblog/2907/thisgirlsgotgame/Lego-Overkill-or-Well-Deserved-Relief-/ Lego Movie-Games Vs. Other Movie-Games nbsp; Whilst playing Lego Indiana Jones this weekend, my boyfriends-sisters-boyfriend Jason said that he was worried about the Lego video-game industry. He pretty much thought they should quit while theyrsquo;re ahead. Apparently he is scared that they will try to do every movie and burn out their loveable novelty. nbsp; I suppose that that happens with all novelty things, but on a whole I think that the Lego Movie Games are a fantastic thing. Why? Haha. Because lets face it Ladies and Gents ... the Movie-Video Game Genre SUCKS. They are horrible, bad, boring, aggravating when they donrsquo;t follow the story-lines ... I meanhellip; they are just POOP. nbsp; Itrsquo;s hard to argue that the graphics and animations of the Lego Star Wars, Indiana Jones and soon Batman games arenrsquo;t just the cutest damn thing yoursquo;ve ever seen http://pwned.com/showblog/2907/thisgirlsgotgame/Lego-Overkill-or-Well-Deserved-Relief-/ http://pwned.com/showblog/2597/thisgirlsgotgame/Healthy-Gaming-Snacks/ nbsp; TOP 5 HEALTHIEST/FILLING FOOD SNACKS nbsp; 1.

They are available at a reasonable price at Walmart.com. (129.00) It is ONLY available online, but you can have it shipped-to-store for free, and go pick it up. When i got mine, and mentioned it to my friends on Xbox live they were not aware of it! I was surprised, but I accidentally bumbled across it as well when shopping on HomeDepot.com (Where they wanted WAY more than 129.00 for it. TRY more like 600.00 bux!) Sure it's not a top of the line, award winning, blow-out-your-eardrum type of setup.

It wasnrsquo;t interesting enough, deep enough, emotional enough, or just plain covered the basicshellip; to get you from level to level. With ldquo;BOORRINNNGrdquo; being the most prevalent of whines of course. nbsp; Sadly, Video Games arenrsquo;t movies. They donrsquo;t often get in-depth enough with even the main characters background, let alone diagram the inner workings of their personality.

I wrote this article for the local newspaper. Of course it was a little shorter. But i felt i'd share it. Youth in Gaming onnbsp; Xbox Live Underage children in multiplayer matches. nbsp; In a world where technology is ever-evolving, it seems that children are able to pick up nearly any piece of hardware and use it, efficiently and effectively at a very young age. I find it amazing, having grown up with DOS, giant floppy disks, and the NES. I was an itty-bitty gamer myself, and so I fully appreciate children being given the superior HD quality that is now available on the xbox360 to play their first games. (Actually I donrsquo;t just appreciate it, Irsquo;m jealous!) nbsp; The xbox360 is a great gaming console so if you own one as I do, I applaud you.
