babostwick I can't remember which one I had 1st between the NES and the Atari 2600. I know I have a huge library of games between the two of them without question. That'd be the best way I can put it.

babostwick At the end of the day, the only stats that are going to matter will be whether he wins or he loses. So far, he has proven to be successful in spite of what has been said. I'll say it, it may not be pretty the way he wins but it doesn't matter. As long as he...

babostwick I've had to try to learn Drupal and so far I seem to be able to navigate my way around. I've used WordPress for the purpose of blogging and it has not been bad either. Joomla I experimented with actually. I would say that it comes down to what you're looking...

aquacan @aquacan (216) • China 20 Oct 11

Nowadays in China, it's more and more popular for college students to get a part-time job. The reason is quite simple. Most of them want to find a part-time job because they want to relieve the burden of tuition fee and daily...

babostwick I think it should come down to what would be a balance. As far as working goes, I did that while working online but also doing school work. It was more because of finding a balance and if I needed to focus on a specific class, I did so. It depends and my take...

Why do People Not Maintain Their Game Consoles?

ReViewMeMedia @ReViewMeMedia (3785) • United States 21 Oct 11

I'm just curious about this and I want to ask owners of new generation console owners, why does it seem that a lot of console owners don't maintain and take good care of their new consoles. Even though the XBox 360 has the Red...

babostwick I don't know the answer to that. I've had an NES for over 20 years and it was running. Talk about a long time. I usually try to keep them clean. It's hard to say for sure on others.

babostwick I'm looking forward to playing it. As long as the game is enjoyable and has good game play, I'm fine with it. Graphics may not be my primary focus but as long as it's done well, I'll be good with it. I usually try to get every Zelda game if I can.

babostwick If he is indeed done, then he's had a great career. No question about it, he's going to go to the WWE Hall of Fame in the future. If he does show up, it will probably be around WrestleMania if at all. It's just a guess and nothing more.

Why Helium is NOT a scam/ lousy writing site....

madden12 @madden12 (81) • United States 4 Aug 11

babostwick The only thing I can say is that for those people that say it is a scam is because of sour grapes. They are obviously very bitter. I haven't had as much time to write as I would have liked. I've had to sacrifice that to complete a major project for school.

babostwick Honestly, I won't know until I actually try it. Only time will tell on how this will work out. If it proves to be beneficial, then probably that would get people writing. If not, then it could be going back to the drawing board. I'm taking a wait and see on...

babostwick Honestly, I don't know. I remember one time the NHL was shut down for a whole season. Anything could very happen. I guess all I'm going to do is wait and see what happens. I'm leaning towards the neutral section of taking a wait and see. The big issue is...

What do you think about the new look of Helium?

sn_2818184 @sn_2818184 (328) • Hong Kong 18 Feb 11

There is a new look of Helium. While I like the announcement page right after logging in, putting the path together with the title in my earning & payment page just makes things look messy. So, what do you think about the new...

After winning out should TCU share the title with either Auburn or Oregon?

babostwick I wouldn't be opposed to it. Personally, I would prefer if they played the winner between Auburn and Oregon to see who really should be the national champion. It's a clear way of doing so. The world will never know what would happen that's for sure....
