definitely second the minish cap rec. if you're a completionist, the kinstones will keep you busy for a while. that said, it seems to me that in general the older the nintendo games, the more challenging they are. . .any thoughts?

Just got this a couple of days ago. Comfy, low key & best of all, on serious markdown at an AD!

don't drive yourself completely nuts over this, but basically if you head over to avsforum.com just keep in mind that the size of the tv you get should be proportional to the distance in which you are sitting; you'll want to sitting in between the range of 2 to 5 times the screen width of your...

I agree $99 is high for the game boy micro, but then there's nothing stopping nintendo from dropping the price right after Christmas and maximizing profit. But it would seem the real competition is actually the 512mb iPod shuffle, since both are kid friendly. The DS is awesome. I wasn't even...

Only $399! All I need is another $50 for a second controller, oh, and another $99 for wireless adaptor, and lesse, that's ~$550. . . what am I forgetting? oh yeah, a game! That's it! Only $610 + tax! woo hoo! Nowaitaminute! I need to upgrade to Xbox live gold to play this game online...

For goose down pillows, I'd suggest getting a dual chamber (there's a smaller core pillow in the middle) for neck support. You can get them at lots of places like Linens N Things, or the Company Store... There's a picture of what I'm talking about at the Company Store website...

even with the upcoming next gen in the near future, you'd still get a decent amount of mileage out of current generation. some things to consider in no particular order: -do you need to play the latest and greatest? or can you wait? if you have a list of games that you'd like to play...

where are all the dc people? La Chaumiere (Georgetown) - charming, intimate though not in the same league as the next two. Citronelle (Georgetown) - presentation is sooo much fun and the food's even better. Inn at Little Washington (Little Washington, VA) - impeccable food, charming...

some questions, first. Does your buddy live in an apartment/condo? What kind of tv (crt, lcd, projection, plasma, dlp, etc etc) and what size? What are the dimensions of the room? What percentage of music vs movies viewing/listening? Is he a regular upgrader? - I have the Panny XR50...

I just went through the same process, and ended up cycling through four tvs to finally end up with the (i hope) final one, a 26" LCD HDTV. (For the size you specificed, basically all you are going to find are going to be 26", 30", 32", and on up from there. The price does follows an exponential...

If you're choosing between a powerbook combo drive with apple care or a powerbook superdrive without applecare, go for the apple care since it's a portable machine. [Typing this on my beloved faultless 15" Alumabook.]
