ROANOKE, Va., Dec. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- The Internet is a student's playground, yet it is a powerful, complex network that can pose a serious threat to students' safety and well-being. The Virginia Department of Education has teamed up with Pokemon USA, Inc., to provide administrators, teachers and parents with engaging, high-quality instructional resources to help them teach students how to stay safe online. The "Internet Safety Program" was launched last night at the start of the Virginia Department of Education's Educational Technology Leadership Conference in Roanoke, Va.

Comprised of interactive lessons, teacher's guides, and other materials, the "Internet Safety Program" is suitable for lower and upper elementary grade students and will be available through a special online portal on Pokemon Learning League(TM), the award-winning online suite of standards-based animated, interactive lessons in language arts, math, science, and life skills.

Students use the Internet daily -- often for hours at a time -- for information, entertainment and a way to communicate with people around the globe. Internet safety, particularly in the interest of protecting children, is paramount in today's technology driven, globalized world. It was a key topic at the U.N. Internet Governance Forum held in late November in Brazil, where high-ranking government officials, information technology experts and civic societies gathered to discuss Internet-related public policy issues.

Last year, Virginia became the first state to mandate public schools to teach Internet safety. To help schools and districts take a step toward meeting this goal, officials with the Department of Education collaborated with the Pokemon Learning League team to combine sound educational practices with the enduring popularity of Pokemon characters to teach students essential skills for studying and playing online safely.

"We are very pleased to be able to make this outstanding resource available to schools as they implement their Internet safety programs," said Tammy McGraw, director of the Office of Educational Technology at the Virginia Department of Education. "It effectively supports the guidelines for Internet safety issued by our agency last year and enables us to leverage the tremendous appeal of the Pokemon characters to help students become safe and responsible Internet users."

"Educators are looking for ways to provide students with Internet access while protecting them from inappropriate material and online predators," said Yves Saada, vice president of interactive media for Pokemon USA. "Virginia has taken the lead in this charge, and we are happy to have the opportunity to work with the state to offer a program that teaches critical life lessons about Internet safety in a non-threatening way that is accessible to students."

The "Internet Safety Program" consists of three interactive lessons, upper and lower elementary lesson plans and unit quiz, tips for parents and guardians, a printable Internet safety certificate for students, and a printable poster to remind students how to stay safe online. Upper elementary and lower elementary teacher's Guides are provided so that educators may best integrate the Pokemon Learning League lessons into their classroom planning.

More than 4,000 students will start piloting the program in January 2008. These students can access the "Internet Safety Program" at http://www.pokemonlearningleague.com/internet.

Guided by an advisory board of experienced educators and education experts, Pokemon Learning League lessons guide students through a three-step approach to learning: an animated, narrative tutorial (Watch), guided practice (Try) and an interactive challenge (Apply). School and district-wide subscriptions to Pokemon Learning League include formative assessment and assignment tools to measure and document student achievement and individualize instruction. The assignment feature allows educators to assign topics based on students' abilities, set due dates and monitor progress on an individual basis and for an entire class.

YES, I've checked out those sites before!

At first I thought that they were just being superficial

"we're going to talk about Time, look a picture of Dialga"

Some of the lesson plans were interesting, not fantastic, but worth noting. I am writing my own lessons around Pokemon. I am THAT good.

i was once a teacher

when i was 7 or so

The Complete Adventures and Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle and the latest issue of TeenVogue

I've been playing that Beats game on my PSP for the last 7 hours. I have well over 7 hours of MP3s so there seems to be no end to this game. My eyes hurt. My favorite song to play that game with is Gwen Stefani - "If I Was a Rich Girl" and Erykah Badu - "Green Eyes".

i bought this:



one of the freakist games i've ever played.

i bought a new coat. pix later

Zune 80gb

Some ethernet cables (getting ready to replace 3 printers in my room with a single network printer- reason it would be cheaper to maintain than the 3-printer setup I have at the moment), and a Care Bears backpack after plastic bag carrying said cables snapped.

i bought this:



one of the freakist games i've ever played.

Somehow I am now interested in that game. If you say freaky, I say must buy.

Please tell us more, anyname. I've heard about it, but Game Informer said the gameplay was horrible, iirc.

i bought this:



one of the freakist games i've ever played.

How's the gameplay on that, Anyname? I've been thinking about grabbing that because I love a good survival horror game.

wow i like a good game like madden nfl ea sports it's in the game

dodododododo

LT RUSHES FOR 4000 YARDS A NEW NFL RECORD

(1 game)

well, the thing is that the girl attacks rather slowly and meekly, which makes sense because if anyone where thrust into the situation she is, they would be scared too and not run around and kill like a professional.

there is very little battling with monsters, and when there is, it's a very big challenge (sometimes it's better to just run by them). but the game isn't really about the fighting; it's about the atmosphere. and all these little details add to the game's atmosphere. for example, the girl walks a little hunched over with her hands clutched to her chest, all the while glancing nervously about. and the music is amazing. it definitely ups the creepy factor 100%. it makes you scared to even turn the corner.

and the situation with the kids is creepy as hell. i can't say anything for risk of spoilers, but believe me when i say that those kids will freak you the fuck out. and the things they do...*shudders*

overall, i'd say the game is excellent. it could use a few tweaks here and there (what game couldn't), but for the most part, it's good.

(for those in europe (more specifically engand, i think) may have trouble finding the game, since it was banned)

If I see it used, I will pick it up. I've always contended that the wonky camera and combat of survival-horror games is somewhat intentional.

i got monster hunter 2 for teh psp

XFX 8600GTS

Not sure why I bought it since I don't have a PC I can put it in but oh well. Might be able to sell it for a profit.

Only good things can come from this.

A haircut.

4 x Western Digital 500GB SATA2 7200RPM HDDs

Need more storage for my anime.

AND



Both for 39.00 w/tax at Circuit City, i heart that place. Along with Shrek 3 and some Barbie Island DVD for my olde ladys kid.

A faux wolf fur coat. And bought this Dora doll for a Christmas Tree Angel child.

An Okidata C3300N Network color LED printer.

Power savings for the geek hole, since I no longer need to turn on a few computers just to print. But I can't figure out how to get it to talk to my Linux box correctly.

stenchlord stop downloading anime porn

It's called Hentai lol and I don't have that much of it :P

I won't need anymore HDD space for a couple years now. 2TB is plenty :D

i know pokemon should only take up like 100 gig

Sweet, I have some of those too

I bought Rogue Galaxy in July. I haven't beaten it yet, because there are 20 main bosses to go through when you get to the very end of the game.

Except on Virtual Console.

I dont know what came firdt either a wii or I drove threw Mcdonalds..hellz yah

Our McDonald's SUCKS donkey balls. Ugh.

Bought a second hand Asus A8N-SLI Motherboard as a backup for my current PC.

Just need DDR RAM and an HDD and then I can store them away as my replacement/backup gear incase anything goes wrong with my PC now. Now I can start putting some money towards a new rig.

Pirates of the Carribbean: At World's End (PS3) & Neighbours from Hell (PC)

No matter how much I try I can never just imagine replacing my motherboard. Maybe it's because I don't know where to buy one? Don't they generally cost a lot?

I fail to see the purpose in buying spare parts for a system that is currently on the edge of obsolecence. If something should fail, which is not all that likely if you are at all careful, it could very well cost less to build a new system that it did to buy the spare parts for the current one.

Regardless, you clearly have too much spare money for your own good and should donate it all to me.

I asked first.

I've bought spares because this system is now becoming my file server. There's currently 4x500GB drives in here and an 1x80GB drive.

The specs of this PC are far from obsolete. It's an AMD X2 3800+ with 2GB of RAM. Has a 7900GT in there too which can still hold its own when it come to gaming. The thing is also running at stock so I can push it even further should I feel the need to.

you guys go find a job a noopotr

I bought a Digital camera, but the disc drive on my old comp is dead, so look forward to pictures, but in the near future, not tonight.

I bought a book.

DC Absolute New Frontier. Written en illustrated by Darwin Cooke. I wanted to read it before the animated feature comes out in February.

Great book. I recommend it to any fan of the DCU.

2 hours of karaoke also bubble tea
I am so cool

if it makes it any better I was with people from asia the whole time.

Great book. I recommend it to any fan of the DCU.

A few months ago I went up to Barnes & Noble, and bought a Superman book, that had all of the old black & white comics in it, you know, from the newspapers. Got in the car and opened my bag, then realized, I'd bought the third book. I need to buy the other two. Great comics though. I think Superman might be my favorite comic... and I'm not just saying that 'cause you like him too.

Nice one Marvin

I was never planing on importing the DualShock 3 by mail, then I stopped by my local buy/sell/trade game shop a block from my apartment to check out some old NES and SNES games, (yes, they have them regularly in stock), and when I went to pay for Athena, I saw the DS3 hanging there. So I took it home.

Loca Moca Java Monster.

I went Christmas shopping the other day at Toys R' Us.
Here's what I bought:

- 4 G.I Joes: Firefly, Cobra grunt, Flint, and Beachhead.
- A generic (decent-looking) Combat Helicopter with 3 Rip-off G.I Joes.
- A "Fashion Designer" Barbie.
- 2 Mini Puzzles - Disney fairies & Spiderman & Friends

What sucks is that I'm barely half ways done! :eggsweat:

All I know, is that I better get something good this year. This is gonna hurt my wallet for a couple of months. :notgood:

Also, for lunch I bought a Cheese Steak Sourdough Melt combo at Jack In The Crack.

Aren't the PS3 controllers the same thing as the PSX and PS2?

No, the first PS3 controlers didn't have Dual Shock capabilities.
This was one of many reasons for poor sales.

nobody cares ps3 sucks

Aren't the PS3 controllers the same thing as the PSX and PS2?

They're the same except the PS3 sixaxis controller has bluetooth wireless and has motion sense capabilities - "sixaxis" is the name for the motion sense, but no "DualShock" which is the rumble capabilities. But in Japan last month they finally came out with the DualShock 3 Sixaxis. We gotta wait in the US until next spring.

I don't really see a reason for the rumble thingy anyway.

The rumble shock helped me in a lot of games, especially Gran Tourismo!

Eh, it may have helped you but I still don't see a use for it.

Hm...

I was at the store with my parental unit and I saw the newest edition of Shonen Jump, featuring the new season/or alternate time skip thing of Naruto--AND Ulquiorra from Bleach. That was a serious plus.

I also got some Strawberry Pop-tarts with icing on top.

Have you played games where it actually incorporates it into gameplay - I'm not talking about explosions or visual effects.

Resident Evil 4 (finally...!)
Final Fantasy XII

a pickled sasuage from 7-11

The best and most satisfying purchases are the ones you normally don't plan on.

Some stuff for the christmas tree that I have to paint myself.....

I got a new mobile phone Samsung D900i!!!! I'm so happy :D

An Ethiopian famine baby.

MARVIN FREAKING BUY 10 WIIS

Cute panties from Delias.

I fail to see the purpose in buying spare parts for a system that is currently on the edge of obsolecence.
I can see Stenchlord's rationale with that. I have the exact same mobo on my gaming rig (barely two years old) and Socket 939 is already obsolete. My mobo's chipset fan failed the other day which got me panicking for a while before I tried pushing the fan around and somehow managed to fix it. If my mobo should die and leave me with a S939 CPU (an AMD Athlon64 X2 4200+, which cost me RM1600/US$400) and 4 bars of Ballistix DDR1 RAM (which I invested over RM1000/US$250 on), I'd be blind with rage too.

It's a gaming rig. It HAS to have good RAM. So if I have replace the motherboard, I'll need an Asus SLI compatible motherboard (not hard to get, but not cheap, and other brand boards won't do because the video cards are Asus-made NVidias and I want that Asus-exclusive auto-optimize feature that are on Asus NVidia motherboards and only work with Asus-made Nvidia video cards), a new CPU(not hard to get and cheap, but not bargain price), and new RAM(which will kill me because I have to import good RAM, good RAM are more expensive locally than buying off the internet).

i got myself a 150gb Raptor X. it is most excellent.

i also got a generous amount of heineken. it is also excellent.

Kalmah is 31???? god that is older than my boyfriend.

Hey that's 16 now!!!:mad: 2 more years, two more years and out forbidden love will be not-so-forbidden. That's to all "teh hoot womenz", for alas my sex appeal will sky-rocket.

Haha 16 UM? You're so young lol. Wish I was 16 again :p

I just put in a bid for a second hand computer lol.

AMD Opteron 165
-Thermalright XP-120 w/ Artic Cooling Fan
DFI NF4 Ultra-D Lanparty
2GB OCZ Platinum DDR400
XFX 7900GT
Western Digital 120GB SATA
Pioneer 112D IDE DL DVDRW
Antec P160 w/ Window, 2 x Temp Sensors & replaced with Arctic Cooling and Aerocool fans.
Tagan 530W Modular PSU.

Hopefully I can get it for $400AUD postage included and then will dismantle both mine and this and then rebuild and then sell it off.

EDIT:

I should end up with two PCs, one for me which will be

Opty+XP120, DFI Ultra-D, 2GB OCZ, 7900GT SLi, 74GB Raptor, 2x112D DVDRW, Corsair HX-520, P160.

Then the other should be

X2 3800+ Thermaltake A1, Asus A8N-SLI, 2GB Corsair, 8600GT, 120GB, 112D DVDRW, Tagan 530W, P180B.


I should be able to sell the X2 3800+ for about $500-$600. Have someone who is interested. So I will have upgraded my PC and made a profit :D Win win for me :D

Haha 16 UM? You're so young lol. Wish I was 16 again :p

I sure as hell don't.


Oh yeah I bought a 3pack of socks today.

I sure as hell don't.


Oh yeah I bought a 3pack of socks today.

slicey pix plz i like women's sox in a speshul way 8)

Resident Wiivil 4? OMG that almost makes me wanna buy a Wii. Question: can you play Wii sitting down or do you always have to be parallel to the system?

You can play every game I have ever played on Wii, sitting down.

You think I'm going to stand up. PSSSSSH. :)

I mean most Wii trailers they are standing, while playing. I Just thought sitting would complicate the whole motion sensor thing.... idk.

Those are greatly exaggerated for effect. I'm sure some games (like this Yoga thing that is coming out--with its own dedicated mat) require it based on their design, but overall, you can usually play the games sitting down.

slicey pix plz i like women's sox in a speshul way 8)

It's for lewis.

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker.

BLUE SLIME

I've been standing up every time I've played a Wii, I reckon it would be awkward to play it sitting

RE4 would be so great on Wii ;-;

I've been buying a lot of Christmas presents

Real Madrid

I sure as hell don't.


Oh yeah I bought a 3pack of socks today.

slicey, are you buying clothes for 3 seperate outfits one day at a time?




Resident Evil 4 can suck my balls. it was not a resident evil at all. as a game on its own, yes, it's good. slap the name resident evil on it, and it immediently sucks. it contained no aspects of the previous installements, and can barely be called survival horror. (i'm just ranting cause i'm upset with the direction the series is taking. the epitome is code veronica, imo)

Well if it has no aspects of 3, then that is good, seeing as I haven't played an RE since 2 ;)

Seriously, anyname? Resident Evil 4 is probably the best zombie game ever made imo.

RE4 was different but still a great game. It took the parts of the RE series that worked and improved upon the parts that didn't (specifically, the camera angles). At first I didn't like it either, but as I got in to it, it easily has become one of my favourite games ever.

(though RE4 wasn't exactly a zombie game ndi)

There just not much you can do with the T-Virus until it becomes saturated (which it was already after RE2).

I'm glad they changed things in RE4. It had a great gameplay, great visuals, and the story was okay/good, but not extraordinary (It is a RE after all).

Real Madrid

Good purchase Garamond, Bernd Schuster has done a decent job so far.

re4 is the only resident evil i like. i cant believe the series was popular with the maddening control system of the first three. diamonds and statues and crap. i dunno. at least 4 was fun. ;(

also yeah real madrid are alright. i'd rather arsenal imo CHAMPIONS.

I never got into the RE games. The movies were alright... a little mediocre, but ok. Parasite Eve 2 is the only horror genre game I've played. That was a tough one... Even with a gameshark....

the other games' wacky control system was one of the reasons the games were so awesome. it added a sense of anxiety. also, the puzzles and stuff were really cool. it made it seem all secretive and stuff, like the umbrella corporation was. RE4 was simply too easy. i played it once, got the unlimitd ammo weapon, replayed it and beat the game in like an hour. (i'm not saying it's a bad game. i enjoyed playing it. i'm just saying that it's a horrible resident evil)


hynad, Resident Evils can have good plots. just look at code veronica.

re4 is the only resident evil i like. i cant believe the series was popular with the maddening control system of the first three. diamonds and statues and crap.

There's no environmental puzzles? Aw, son of a...

I do agree with anyname that wonky controls seem to be somewhat intentional.

Blu-ray copy of the Simpsons Movie.

Nintendo DS Lite and Sony PSP:p

My latest purchases were a The North Face scarf & hat and a small bottle of POM Wonderful pomegranate juice.

Bought it on my lunch, Xmas gift for the olde lady....

A Sasquatch and a Pterodactyl

I bought a squirtle:p

lol @ cognitive dissonance (Windows running on an iPhone that's not on AT&T). Lovely.

I bought the latest NiGHTS game for the Wii, however my GPU was fried so I had to send it in.

Good purchase Garamond, Bernd Schuster has done a decent job so far.

Do you think I can go all the way this year?

I don't want to own a loser. That's why I didn't buy the Cubs.

I'm gonna keep calling you Ash instead of Garamond it sounds better
I have 800 posts:p

I am Garamond.

I am Garamond, but you may still call me Ash.

:p

My latest purchases for myself has been a wii, Twilight Princess and a bunch of magic cards.

This thread has really taken off since Christmas is around the corner :D

I bought a Nokia N70 mobile phone since it was only $100AUD :p

No I am not Ash I am Garamond Ryozo get that into your head

Do you think I can go all the way this year?

I don't want to own a loser. That's why I didn't buy the Cubs.

You are reigning champions and all man, so I'd think so.

hynad, Resident Evils can have good plots. just look at code veronica.

You're right about that. Code Veronica and Resident Evil (first of the name) are the 2 best in the series as far as plot goes. But RE4 is the best when it comes to gameplay and game mechanics IMO. The 3D view and the control method make the game so much better than the older games. I also disagree with you for the difficulty. They were all easy, and RE4 is no exception.

You want a hard game? Try Gradius V, Ninja Gaiden or even harder... Contra 4. :P

No I am not Ash I am Garamond Ryozo get that into your head

Ash sounds better though

Bought a secondhand laptop. Dell Inspiron 8500

A dvd as a Christmas present, though it's probably incorrect to think of it as a proper purchase as picked it up on someone elses behalf and will be getting the cash back in next couple of days or so lol.

DVDs are going to be used for gifts, the wireless card is for my sister's computer I am giving her, and the TV tuner is for me :*

Nice Joe haul Vastalis. Beach Head is awesome eh

Okay, let me try to rationalize this. I have been trying very hard to keep some level of sanity and good decision making in my life, this year. I divorced myself from Square-Enix (apparently not, though, it currently seems. poo on a stick). Money and this time of the year tend to get the best of me, however. They are alluring and seductive mistresses to whom I fold time and time again.

Get this. I had the hairbrained idea that I was going to buy a PSP. Yes, I know, I'm kicking myself in the wake of that foolish plan, I assure you. The reasons? The port of Tactics and Silent Hill: Origins (which looks fantastic. Please let that get a PS2 port like the GTA psp titles, PLEEEEZ). But, I saved myself from that folly. I didn't save myself from this one.

It's a lesser of two evils (read: stoopids) thing. Poo.

So the game sucks? I was gunna buy it when it was released here in Oz.

I loved FFXII, I had so much fun playing it, despite the fact it was a little too easy even with Active Time Battle enabled.

No, I've read great reviews of it. I haven't even played it yet. I'm just mad at myself for going against my so-called principles :o

I love XII more than I can accurately describe. Part of why I caved, to be sure :)

well I got to go shopping for other people now, but I'm looking at super Mario Galaxy or the new Nights game as my next perchase, or if the sales are good after christmas I might get, well I don't know, maybe.... A NEW FRICKEN COMPUTER! so I can start posting on a normal basis again and generally get my life back to abnormal!

A crapload of alcohol.

Vodka, Rum, Tia Maria, and beers.

Now let the holiday begins.

Bioshock was the last thing I got I think
NiGHTS before that

How much did they sell consoleshop.nl to you for?

I can't believe I actually found 4 at a store :shock:
I got RoR because you recommended it, anyname :love: I got it new for the price of a used. That doesn't speak well of it, right off the bat, but it also means I won't feel very bad if I don't end up liking it.



If you're going to be a hypocrite, you might as well go all the way :o I'm going to put all my guides in my class library. Haha.

Oh how is Revenant Wings so far?

I was going to buy it with christmas gift cards but I have some books to get so it'll be put on the backburner. I'm busy with Phantom Hourglass right now as well. IMO, getting multiple adventure-ish games is overwhelming and most definitely time consuming!

Today after work I decided to stop by Toys 'R Us to find more G.I. Joes.

Unfortunately, the only Joes they had were the Comic Book 3-packs, and the 25th Anniversary G.I. Joe/Cobra sets - Which I would've gotten, but they raised the price to $33 bucks, which they originally went for $25! :mad:

I was about to settle on getting The Simpsons: Pie Man and Cupcake Kid figures, when I spotted what I thought was a typo.

3 Marvel Super Hero Squad Mini Figures sets:

2 X-Men: Danger Room Debacle sets
1 Avengers: Face-off set!
for the price of $2.98 each! :shock:

I quickly grabbed one and price checked it to confirm. After confirming them, I bought all 3! :D

I also bought 3 Marvel Superhero Mini Big-heads :p.

Oh how is Revenant Wings so far?

I haven't started yet. I usually end up having to wait a while after I get a game to play it (school, grumble, grumble. I'm supposed to be planning units on sound and electricity right now. Am I? No :o). I'm not playing anything else on DS right now, though, so it will be top priority and very soon.

Recently bought Lost Season 3 and Heroes Season 1 DVDs, Mrs. Dalloway, Chocobo's Tales for the DS and Ryan Adams' Heartbreaker

Season 3 of Lost is the worst, it is filler to da max. I didn't really like Heroes either, I watched about the first ten episodes before being like "this is pretty filler-ish too" ;(

the first half of season 3 was really boring I felt. The second half is sooo good.

I am now living HD. I picked up a 32" Sony Bravia HDTV in all black and a black, glossy, glass tv stand all to complement my PS3. Everyone, movie and game night at my place!

(the website's Dutch. Go figure, so am I)

A nice bed I thought. I've had enough of sharing a bed meant for one person with another girl. My girlfriend appreciated it as well :D You can really do more stuff in bed that way. :D:D:D

Ooooo... I must say Rage that is a nice bed.

My latest purchase is the PSP I'm writing this post on.

Marvel Legends Beta Ray Bill

rage that bed is really nice

Would be nicer if you were laying in it, Pat

Actually, I prefer me with one or more girls in it.

I like to pat a girl's ass now and again.

Nyko Charge Station for Wii controllers

Toothbrush. I was mad when I coudn't find any in the house even though we did have a lot. but I haven't been home in months so I guess there should be a good reason we don't have toothbrushes now

I need that bed in my life.
Futon-bed. I really like the sounds of it. Does it fold up into a futon when you're not wanting to use it to sleep or make love? Certainly beats the generic queen-sized wood bed I'm using (with my pile-o-plush occupying half of it).

Just bought two new DIY cupboards to store said pile-o-plush (one of the local hypermarkets -Carrefour- is having a promotion where if I buy a 3-door cupboard for RM249/US$74, they'll throw in a 2-door one for free).

I just bought a wallet but it has no compartment for coins what am I to do :(

you have no pockets? Or do you hate putting coins in your Pockets?

I throw coins into my wallet anyway and sometimes they fall out, true story.

You could buy an extra small purse. My little stepsister has this Hello Kitty purse for coins. A downside would be that you'd look completely gay.

I just bought the Hannibal books, am a big fan of the movies

I'm with UM. What you do is, keep your change in your pockets and then empty them into a jar every night. Then every couple of weeks you're like 'oy, I've got 20 bucks, here.'

It's a very nice system. I'll go check my jar now.

i did that and ended up with ~$76 when I got around to counting it

My gosh I'm gonna stop letting storekeepers "keep the change".

i did that and ended up with ~$76 when I got around to counting it

Pfft I came home with $72 after one night of drinking...

Although I guess that isn't fair since we have $1 and $2 coins but still... I thought I was walking home funny cause I was so drunk, turns out I was only drunk enough to not realise the reason for my wonky walking was because of the amount of change in one pocket...

On another note, I finished upgrading/building a PC that I'll prolly be selling off :D

I only had to buy case, psu, cpu cooler, case fans and optical drives.

Ummm... The Tales of the Abyss soundtrack? yup that must be it...

Probably a good 500-700 max though. I'm pretty lax with money... when I have it.

Just noticed you're in Philadephia. $700USD would be pretty good. I was hoping for around $700-$800AUD.

I will have to get one of those when i go back to school in two days... are they good?

chhh, caramel fraps are where it's at.

I bought a new pc so soon I will be online even more than ever xD

Spring Tuition, so a semester of grad school.

THE END by Mika Nakashima
The Lost Lolli by OLIVIA
The Queen of Hip Pop by Namie Amuro
Ultra Blue by Utada Hikaru

All of them are great albums but The Lost Lolli is the best. I also got Guitly by Ayumi Hamasaki and PLAY by Namie Amuro but they haven't arrived yet.

a pack of locust for my lizard!

ultra blue is really good. one of utada's best, imo.

Golden Puffs cereal

A packet of Nerds.

2 bottles of Deep Riverock Forest Fruits, and the machine jammed so I didn't get either. I bought the second hoping it would knock the first out and I might get two, but alas, I lost �1.60.

ASUS VW222U 22" widescreen LCD.

I paid a bit more than I originally had budgeted for a monitor, but after playing with several difference LCDs recently, I'm glad I coughed up an extra $65. This thin h has the best real-world response time to RTC error ratio I've heard of and the best viewable angle I've seen in a TN matrix. Brightness and contrast are good, but nothing special.

I wish they would have made a version that did not include built in speakers. Probably paid $20 for a feature I'll never use.

Well, personally, if you have two soundcards and run Vista, that would be useful, since Vista doesn't allow you to forward sound from one soundcard's line out to the speaker from another soundcard's line in (what I've been doing because I live with two sound cards: connect a Soundblaster Live to the onboard Realtek Line In, then the speakers to the onboard Realtek speaker connectors. My reason is that the Live has excellent hardware MIDI synth, but doesn't do HD Audio, while the Realtek does HD Audio but doesn't have a hardware MIDI synth). I find that under Vista, I could not redirect sound from the Realtek Line In to the Speakers, which I could in XP.

It's my favorite but I think her next Japanese album will change that.
