Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog

Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog is so full of "WIN", that I was half-amazed at how amazing this blog/movie/show was. Joss Whedon just can't go wrong, can he? Especially not with the cast included-- Nathan Fillion, Felicia Day, and Neil Patrick Harris. Nathan Fillion is wonderful in ABC's Castle and Joss Whedon's Firefly. Felicia Day is a fun time in her web-show, The Guild. And Neil Patrick Harris is just great in this. Available for purchase @ Amazon.com for $9.99.

I highly suggest you watch this if you haven't already done so. It's about an hour in length.

With a musical twist on Villians, Superheroes, and love, you can't go wrong.

We Cheer 2

All right, all right. I probably know what you're thinking.
With this post, I've become less of a gamer, hahaha.



But honestly? This game looks like good fun for young girls.
I'm not too hot about the whole ''cheerleader'' thing, because I'm not sure what it teaches girls (I tend to see Cheerleaders dressing in very little and being all over guys), but in this game it seems like a good-enough exercise in girl-power.

If you have daughters below the age of 11 who don't mind playing as a cheerleader, I'd look into this one. Unless you're adamant about them being hardcore, anyway. Then you want to give them some Assassin's Creed. Lmao, that was a joke.

Dora Links

Dora Links, $59.99

Dora Links looks like a really fun doll any girl would like to have. Not only is she cute to start with, but you can hook her into your computer and visit an online Dora world and solve mysteries. Not enough, you say? Seen that before? Well, Dora also changes how she looks. Physically. On the DOLL. Yup, hook her into the computer, and you can also choose colors for her lips, eyes, jewelry, etc. and choose the length of her hair. It's amazing.
The doll will also alert you to when there are new mysteries available for play, so you can be sure to never to miss out.

If you want to get this doll for your child, I suggest you don't delay.
This is going to be BIG.

Ghost Trick

Ghost Trick, for the Nintendo DS, is a new title being made by the creators of the popular Phoenix Wright series. The animation looks delightfully fluid, the characters lots of fun, the world full of cartoon life. Right now, I'd have to say I'm very optimistic about this one.

Maybelline Color Sensational Lip Color

Looks so good. I want to try it badly, even though I never wear lipstick, hahaha.
The Plum Paradise is the one I want, because it's quite a strange color. Yay.

Middleburg
has a really cute Halloween-themed decoration for sale on Etsy:

as does OneClayBead:

They're both Raven themed, and I think they're wonderful and artistic. Unique decorations. You may find a look-alike at the stores, but they'd probably be less well-made.
Etsy has fun things.

Decorating Cupcakes

Cupcake Flair
has many cute cupcake wrapper designs on display in their Etsy shop. Check them out if you like baking, decorating, or just plain ogling your cupcakes!

Bright Star

Bright Star
starring Abbie Cornish and Ben Whishaw

a film by Jane Campion

in theaters

This film looks very romantic. I'm sure it has quite the sad ending, but the film quality looks beautiful. Take a look at the trailer below. I'm a sucker for movies that take place in the Victorian era.

Pirate Tavern BGM from World of Warcraft

Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games

Oh my gosh, I didn't know how much I wanted this game. It's not a real, intense need, persay, but I would like to have this in my video game collection by winter.

It looks like such a good Family game, or it could be some fun with friends. I love the Winter Olympics, because of all the fun skating and snowboarding and stuff. That, and it's a nice way to spend a winter day.

The extra modes like Snowball Fights and Skiing with power-ups look like some silly fun. And the new characters, such as Metal Sonic and Silver, are loved.

I'd like to get this, as I never picked up the first installment.

Toting new features on its predecessor, such as the ability to customize miis and a sort of campaign mode, and with a price tag of $49.99, expect to see this game in stores next month.

Just thinking about it makes me shiver.

If you or someone you know is going through a break-up. . .

And you like horoscopes, this could be interesting.

After a Breakup: Survival by the Zodiac

I am not going through a breakup, but decided to take a look at my sign, anyway. . . .

Gemini
You love normalcy, but pretending nothing happened does not make things normal. You can multitask by reorganizing photo albums and removing the pictures with the ex - shredding of said pictures is optional. Friends of Gemini: your friend will be momentarily hysterical and then act like you're crazy if you think she's upset. It depends on which personality is in charge that day.

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers for Nintendo Wii

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers



I just got very psyched for this game. This has become my most wanted Wii game, replacing Super Paper Mario. Lmao, not much of a competition. I don't want many Wii games.

Coming out December 26, 2009.

Final Fantasy XIV / Ninokuni

Final Fantasy XIV looks wonderful. There are many quotes that get me thinking and make me feel good on this website, and the trailer looks really nice. On the site, there are some in-game screenshots, and that looks like it won't disappoint. Looking forward to seeing the game in action.
Expected in 2010.




Ninokuni is a Nintendo DS in the making, by Studio Ghibli and Level 5.
These two companies working together can't go wrong. It's a must-buy.
Look forward to this one in 2010 in Japan.

Console Price Drops Galore

All three consoles are undergoing price drops. The Xbox 360 and PS3 have both dropped $100, and the Nintendo Wii is planning to drop it's price $50 this Sunday. This is good for new consumers, since the price drops mean that you can buy your console and play it, too.

For people who already own a console, it's an "eh" factor.

Anyone secretly thinking the makers of the consoles will be trying to break the ones we own so that we'll buy another? Haha, joking, joking. But that PS3 firmware update 3.0 is a little fishy. . . .

Yeah, me neither.

"Still Alive" - The Theme Song from Mirror's Edge
Sung by Swedish pop star Lisa Miskovsky~



This song is just so beautiful, magical, a pleasure to listen to.
The fact that it's from a video game never stops amazing me.

Katamari Tribute - Saynoara Rolling Star (Yuri's Mixx)



from the new game Katamari Forever (available at Amazon.com, $46)

Katamari Tribute - Katamari on the Swing
(SEXY-SYNTHESIZER ALL ABOUT NAMCO Mix)



I've been looking at and listening to Katamari Forever for the past few days, and I've come to the conclusion that I want this game. It looks like such a fun, relaxing, quirky, asian time. Right now the price is a bit too much for me, (I could use that money on Final Fantasy when it comes out), but if the price ever drops to $30 or so, I'll have to grab this one. :)

Never Turn Back by Crush 40
from the video game Shadow the Hedgehog



Chosen for its conflicting nature, and bad-ass-ness.
Turn it on, enjoy the piano, and then headbang or whatever.
Sonic the Hedgehog may not be perfect, but I love it.
