lostalaska commented on Panic: Are Consumers Scared To Buy Gift Cards?

"It's not so much that I'm afraid to buy gift cards as I'd rather just give cash at that point and leave the option of how it's spent up to the recipient. Plus, the last time I checked cash doesn't expire or require you to buy 2x it's worth to use it. Scared..."

lostalaska commented on What Are You Playing This Weekend?

"This weekend there are three games I'll probably be bouncing back and forth between. Ninja Gaiden 2, because who doesn't love dicing up ninjas like a Benihana chef working your Mongolian Beef bowl. Grand Theft Auto 4, I was moving for the last half of May and have only made it about 15% into the game. I also will probably play a few rounds of Team Fortress 2 as I just started playing it recently and it's totally hooked me like the original did so many years ago (and getting a new Intel dual core and an Nvidia 8800GT helped a lot too!)."
