I guess the biggest hurdle will likely be matching it to the skin tone of the people wearing it so it doesn't scream, HEY I'M WEARING A FAKE APPLIANCE ON MY CHEST. It doesn't look bad at all on the girl wearing it, though there's still a weird bit of uncanny valley stuff happening because it's so smooth and, eh,…

The comment about renting it for 24 hours really makes me nostalgic. My husband and I were talking the other day about how we sort of miss the ritual of going to the movie rental place on Friday afternoon, browsing the stacks, getting a big physical stack of movies... when I was little, I remember renting Breath of…

One of the problems people (men and women) make when flirting online is IMMEDIATELY flirting. Opening a conversation with someone you've never met with a physical compliment (obviously "Hey, I like your art/music/whatever" is not the same as "Hey you have gorgeous eyes") or an obviously flirty remark/joke seems like a…

At the bakery I worked at/managed several years ago, our day started at five in the morning. If you knew what you were doing and had your times down, you had basically all your baking done by noon or earlier, which means you could concentrate on whatever else needed doing... orders, stocking, (always) cleaning,…

Yeah, it's definitely extremely stressful, bordering on unpleasantly so at times. I'm a lot more story-oriented when it comes to horror, so I tend to prefer slow boils. This was basically nonstop gore and shock violence... not something I could handle for more than a half hour at a time.

I'm 30, so I doubt age has much to do with it. :) As I mentioned, I wouldn't call it scary... more startling and tense.

Aw. I do love pineapple, but I feel like it's at its best on pizza cold... you know, straight out of the fridge next day leftovers? I feel like the sweet flavor and the cold gives it better texture. I love it. I also love green peppers that are basically tossed on at the last moment of cooking so that they're still…

I wish I could enjoy martinis. There are just always so many cute and classy little martini twists everywhere I go. But I hhhhhhhhhaaaaAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaate gin. And yet I still covet the martini? I drink rum (preferably dark rum) almost exclusively, though I will occasionally have whiskey, and I feel like martinis are…

Outlast is no joke. It's so intense in terms of just unrelenting tension and crazy stuff happening that for me it's actually unpleasant to play for very long. We're talking about a game that features a man having sex with a headless corpse as a jumpscare. It's grotesque and WEIRD and has no idea what subtlety means…

I kind of wish they'd make a movie of Sylvia Day's Crossfire series, but tweak the more troubling aspects. It's the same premise of 50 Shades, sans BDSM, sorta... young woman catches the eye of powerful millionaire who doesn't take no for an answer. Like 50 Shades, the male lead is disturbingly jealous and possessive,…

Miles was a tough sell for me originally because he was replacing Ultimate Peter Parker who I ADORED. I was never against him so much as I was against the ending of Peter's story because, well, sour grapes. Once my sulk got over itself and I tried the first collection of Miles' issues, however, I liked him almost…

I'm just sort of surprised that someone doesn't download something like this and, upon realizing two minutes later it's nothing like what the commercial was portraying, delete it immediately. Mobile games are pushing some seriously flashy commercials these days though... I remember being surprised when I saw one for…

I've been trying to frame unnecessary purchases (IE, stuff for entertainment, etc) in the frame of mind as if I had to work for it based on my last hourly wage. Or, alternately, whatever the hourly wage was in the job I hated having the most for even more perspective. Do I want this thing? Yes. Do I want it enough…

The cheap tip thing baffles me. My husband and I were at a bar we frequent in Orlando the other day, and this group of people who had had several rounds of margaritas and beers without a single complaint get up to leave, and as they do, the guy who had paid beams at the bartender, taps the bar, and goes, "That's for…

Calorie counting is basically essential to anyone who's looking to lose weight, at least in the beginning for perspective. Not as a magic cure-all, but in opening your eyes as to how much you're actually eating. If you have a weight problem, you can also have a skewed sense of how many calories are in something, and I…

Because part of my job involves being an editor, I'm forever having to criticize people, and I really, really try to do so in a constructive way. I usually end up wrapping it inside some compliments... "The way that you did X was awesome. I'd like to see you work on these issues with Y, but keep doing what you're…

I have no problem with sex in games, but if there's sex in it and the game doesn't revolve ENTIRELY around it, then yeah, I agree, the sex needs to feel natural and not shoehorned in for me to personally be interested. I feel the same way when I read books... it's like, "Yeah, okay, we clearly needed to stop the plot…

Love it. What's neat is that each character's original illustrated style is also echoed in the art, instead of just being redrawn solely in the artist's style.

Reminds me of a joke I once saw from a stand-up comedian. He was talking about how in one of the Call of Duty games, all of the signs are in the wrong language for the town they take place in... the signs for the level are all written in Arabic, but the people of the town in the game (where the comedian grew up in)…

I'm not wild about that first Barret, just because it doesn't really jive with his personality... that looks like a world-weary, stoic super soldier. But still, all the art is gorgeous, and I love seeing the different takes.
