Is it better to play it safe? Sep 13, 2009
So I basically dumped my new tengaged friendships down the drain by making a dumb move that, looking at it now, could have been completely avoided if I really thought about it. You see, it's Day 7 of 7, I was just HoH, and I have an alliance with somebody in the house. Problem is, I was better friends with 2 of the 4 left, and instead of nominating the other two people who I had less in common/talk-time with, I chose to put 1 of them up with the most active friend I had in the game so that my first alliance member would be safe ... only ... it ended up that my alliance member was put up because he wasn't as active as the other person. So I messed up. I overthought it all and now I'll pay the shameful consequences.

My question for y'all is: is it better to always play a Rookies game safe, and never take chances? Or to go with your gut and take that extra risk, even if it means you might be scorned? :(

Health: 50% ... But I'm not in survivor? Sep 5, 2009
I purchase level yellow, and to my surprise, I have 50% health! Which reminded me of survivor's game. But I'm not in a survivor game. So, why do I have health? :( What will happen when I reach 0%? Oh the humanity!

Maybe I should have read the memo.

Jeff - The New Jessie? Sep 1, 2009
imageSo a lot of BB11 fans seem to be flipping the favoritism switch on Jeff, who previously won a game-changing power thanks to America's votes. It seems that his betrayal against Russell and uncalled for paranoia with Jordan is getting the worst of his ego.

I still think he is better than Natalie; in fact, I am still rooting for him in some ways, but a large portion of the viewing public seems to be taking a stand against his poor actions. With this, is Jeff becoming the new Jessie in terms of likeability? And is this affecting partner Jordan's charm as well? What do y'all think? Is Jeff still worth cheering on, or will we move on to the opposite side of the house?

Halloween 3D in Production Aug 31, 2009
image...but without Rob Zombie! :)

I know he has his fans, but personally, never found him to be a remarkable addition or imitation for the series. With 'The Final Destination' (aka, FD4) beating out Halloween II's spot in the box office this weekend, I suppose a new way to look at Myers and such would be to bring in a new director, hopefully one who chooses to ignore H2's 'hobo-myers'. :D

The question is, are the creators jumping the gun? It sure seems like a solid plan, given how 3D films have generated quite the buzz, especially the 'My Bloody Valentine 3D' remake. Plus it appears after 10 films that the Halloween franchise is indeed immortal. But just how much will the public take? Will an IMAX and in-your-face approach be the stepping stone to bring the series back on track, or is it a gimmick that in one year's time, will have run out of steam?

Whatever the case, it will be interesting to see how this adventure turns out in Summer of 2010. Meanwhile, post here on your opinions of the films; did Zombie's reign help or harm the character; will Myers finally be laid to rest? You decide: 3D - good, or nasty?

Game 9433 - End of the Road Aug 18, 2009
I say good luck to the people left in the game. It was fun, it was hectic, and it was full of liars. :P I do find it hilarious how select few were angry at me for trying to take them down with me while I was on the block, when I clearly found out that THEY were the ones trying to get rid and vote me off. *shakes head* Ugh, some people. Apparently, I'm a sore loser for exposing the crap that went on, but like the defensive had said, it's just a game. So they should get over it.

Haha, oh dear. Well anyways, there is one person from my alliance I wish to win. Will they do so? Let's see...

Good luck again, and we'll see how the fan is hit again.
PS, I never negged once in that game. :) So keep searching.
And yeah, I expect this post to get a negative score. Haha, sadly.

Game 9376 - Final 4 Aug 15, 2009
So it is my first game ever here and I made it to the Final 4. Yay!

It was a fun experience with some mini-drama and lots of talks about...things.

-I'll remember Bobsy and the way we joked about him being a vampire because of his picture.
-I'll remember Jord's piercings tales among other controversial things.
-So many others who contributed to making this an intriguing game, and yes, even Dude, who got caught negging everybody and was unanimously sent home on Day 4. Haha

So I say, congratulations to JJ, Jimmehhh and Mexicool (part of our MEXIMIX alliance and horror talks) for joining me in the Final 4, and may the best teen win. <3 You all!

-Mixxo
