Modded Controllers: Gears of War 2 Active Reload
Our Gears of War 2 Active Reload is still a strong seller and that's just because of how useful it is. For gamers active in the online community it's nice to be able to focus on aspects of your game rather then just aiming for a perfect reload. While other people may not have this advantage they don't call us Evil Controllers for nothing. It helps, but it definitely isn't something to cry about. If others want this advantage too, tell them to google us. We're everywhere.

Ohhhhh myyyy goshhhhh!!! Recently pictures surfaced on the Internet of one of the most adorably nerdy and creative marriage proposal I think I may have ever seen! Its always fun to see some great Poké-nerds join the viral internet photo and video gallery, and at this certainly was a super effective way of catching his bride to be! (Get it? Get it?) Clearly she wasnt resistant to his element! I guess he was the Nidoking to her Nidoqueen! Okay, that last one was terrible. Ill just post the pictures and move on.

Technology may be pretty advanced nowadays, but I guess its no match for a rough and tumble, lean and mean…mouse? Okay, seriously guys!! That has to be a joke!!
This past Monday, April 11, I left Evil Controllers two hours early to be able to study with a friend before my CIS 105 exam (because yes, I did wait til my last semester of my senior year to take CIS 105). When we got there, I first noticed things were a little off when we were remarkably let into the parking structure for free – when ASU even gives their prized overpriced income raising parking for free, you know something is wrong. As we walked to campus, conversation was buzzing loudly around the W.P. Carey building about a power outage. Apparently, the power had gone out about an hour prior, and no one knew why or how or when the power would be back on. Some speculated the construction workers hit a main line or something, but no one really knew. Thus,

Can you Believe your Elf Ears?
Everyone has their secret obsession with Lord of the Rings, Star Trek and other SiFi shows and movies. Each of these include Elves and/or Vulcans whom the population of SiFi followers have deemed as sexy. One feature that they have in common: point ears.
We have seen trends of men and women undergoing plastic surgery to enhance features in order to fit their ideal stereotype of sexy. But I could not believe my ears when I heard the latest trend that ABC News was reporting on, having your ear cartilage cut open and sewn into points to create that sexy pointy ear.
