		<description><![CDATA[So, the financial idea for the 21st century:
As of 2008, Americans carry an average of 3.5 credit cards. The average debt per household is about $16,000. That was in 2008, it's safe to assume that these numbers have grown in the past 4 years.
Also, it's safe to assume that most of these cards are rewards [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So Star Wars, the Old Republic is having a free weekend so I decided to give it a whirl. Here are my quick thoughts on this game, pro's and con's. Probably same things written by many other people, but oh well.
Pro's:

Voice acting is fantastic. It makes you feel part of a real story, instead of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So I enjoy watching reality shows. I admit it. I'm fine with it. I like that they are "unscripted" and seemingly random - so you don't see the same story over and over again. All sitcoms show the same situation over and over again, just with different actors. But it's always the same story. We [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So this is a spoiler post. If you don't want to know the Mass Effect 3 endings, don't read it. Pretty simple. You've been warned.
So, at the end of Mass Effect 3, you get a choice of 3 endings. Control the reapers, destroy the reapers or join with them. Controlling the reapers is symbolized by [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This will not be a real review of the game. If I did review it, I'd give it a 7/10 or so. Maybe higher as I progress, maybe lower. Who knows. Above average is about how I'd sum up the game.
I want to put my thoughts out there on the experience though. This will be [...]]]></description>

I'm level 48, here is a link to my current build. Yes, I have unused talents for some reason. I'm near indestructible. I've turned combat to master to try and make it [...]]]></description>

My goal tonight is to get up to Winterhold. So I head north in that general direction.
Ooo look. Flowers to pick. Over there, that tree trunk I see some nightshade! I think [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bethesda's Elder Scrolls Skyrim was released on 11/11 and I think it is probably one of the most monumental achievements in video games that I've ever seen. I mean, look at these screenshots. And look at this hilarious head shot.
