Stemage, aka grant henry, has done what many have tried to do and failed, and made it a success.  He has taken the soundtrack for the game Metroid, and redid it in the genre of heavy metal.  Basically he went through, rearranged every track from the game, from the intro, to the theme, to the ending, and tabbed them out on a guitar.  Then recorded them all with computerized drums ...

When looking for the right glasses, it has always been a headache.  I never seemed to get just the right glasses to fit my needs.  I even tried contact lenses which was a nightmare I will never repeat. The last glasses I purchased have proven to be the best ones yet.  Frames * They have strong metal frames which are durable.  The are flexible without bending or dis...

Metallic eye shadow?? Definitely not for me. I have long since forgotten my teenage years... These were my first thoughts after seeing this eye color. However, the sales lady assured me that this product was not just for teens. In fact, she happened to be wearing some, and she was not a teenager, either. And I did like the way her eyeshadow looked: very subtle yet defined, nothing too radical. ...

Before we moved to where we are now, we used to have a beautiful kindey bean shaped inground pool. As a kid I could easily waste an entire summer floating around, pretending there was a deep end shark, or playing Marco Polo. When we moved though the luxory was taken away. We now had a home with no pool, but a huge acre of land. No pool! No pool! We suffered many summers without a pool, learned ...

These markers are my "Old Faithfuls" when it comes to writing and crafting.  I've had them for nearly three years now.  From the picture you can see that the lables are pretty much worn out, but these markers just keeps giving and giving!I originally picked these up for scrapbooking, and constantly use them for filling out cards, card-making, decorating stationery, makin...

These are affordable, beautiful, and ultimately disposable plastic dish-plates for serving or gift giving.When hubby brought these home this morning I knew that I had to review them.  We are not a fan of disposable items.  We recycle like crazy and rarely use plastic, throwaway tableware.  However, one of hubby’s big joys is to make some very special cookies that he bakes t...

When I bought my kids' school materials last summer of 2008 I think of several art materials they maybe in need of on their Art subject. It is pretty hard for us to find art materials within the community and if there is the cost is relatively high. So to play safe and to have it at a more reasonable cost I scouted for some possible art materials we maybe in need of during the school year.T...

Almost 2 weeks before the 2008-2009 school year ends, my daughter has left some artworks to do at home. One of those is a creation of different fireworks thru the use of lines. We used a dark color of construction paper for that and for the water colors we decided for metallic watercolors to give life and sparks on the lines. She was happy then to see the end result and she wanted that for the ...

WHY IS A WOMAN WEARING A MANS COLOGNE? I'm not. I understand your confusion, as I discovered this completely by accident!DO TELL My husband, as some of you may know from my previous fragrance reviews, is a Paco Rabanne man. Well, if I am to stand corrected, a Paco Rabanne or Patchouli man. It was May - many years ago - and I was perusing the stores for the ideal birthday gift for the man in...

In my work office, we have a lot of paper work and reports that must be kept for one year. So I have to maintain a circulating file. Our corporate security department requires that some of these reports remain under lock and key, so a heavy duty, locking file cabinet is what we need.The Hon four drawer locking file cabinet works out great for me. I use hanging file folders, which are each label...

I was searching for attractive metal wall art that would compliment the neutral colors of my living room, and also my own personality. I wanted three-dimensional texture, and something contemporary in a long horizontal design that said "Music" and "Happy" to me, and at a price that I could afford. I wasn't finding anything that I liked in the local st...

We own this pool and have had fabulous luck with it.  It can be somewhat intimidating when you see the big box of parts, but the directions and assembly are actually fairly easy.  This pool MUST be placed on a level surface or you will have lots of problems!  We cleared and leveled a spot in our yard and it worked great.  Initially when you fill the pool it will take some ti...

 The third game in Hideo Kojima's revered Metal Gear Solid series finds Snake once again on a mission to prevent a catastrophic war. Unlike the previous MGS games, this one takes place in the 1960's and deals with Snake's efforts to destroy a Russian superweapon and prevent the Cold War from becoming a full-scale war. Like the other MGS games, this one retains the series t...

This black tracksuit is comfortable, warm, and about as stylish as a tracksuit can possibly get. The inside is lined with a comfy grey cotton blend while the outside is basic smooth polyester. The Adidas logos on both pant and jacket are metallic gold iron-on transfer, but the signature 3 stripes along the sides/sleeves are a non-metallic, dull gold fabric with a slight sheen to it. The zippers...

 Ok first off I just want to say, this is one of the best games ever made. On any system. Yes it is pretty old now; it was released in 2001, but nevertheless, it is still one of the premiere games on the Playstation 2 and really demonstrates creator Hideo Kojima's ingenuity and storytelling abilities. Metal Gear Solid 2: Guns of the Patriots is the sequel to the PS1's Met...

The Quartet Metallic Dry Erase Board makes scheduling your day very easy and good-looking.  Unlike other hangable planners, this one is in a manageable size and has a sleek metallic background.  It also has three magnets so you can attach checks, money, sheets of paper, etc. to the board so you can remember to take them with you in accordance to the plan you have made.  Furthermo...

    What's more brilliant than taking one of the most classic video games of all time off of Playstation, giving it 480p graphics, features from MGS2, and releasing it on a superior system? Nothing.      Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes, is by far one of the most brilliant creations ever.  With completely redone CGs / cutscenes, updated graphics for HDTV...

The BOSS MT-2 Metal Zone Distortion Pedal packs a lot of punch. It powers its drive with the use of a 3.5-band equalizer, and what almost feels like a distortion level from fuzzed to piping hot.Like all BOSS pedals, the MT-2 is encased in a solid steel compartment, can be foot activated, and is conveniently small. It can be powered by either a 9-V battery or with a DC power supply.This distorti...

Video game covers are not a new thing, but for a band to do them with lyrics is.  The metal band Game Over, headed by Wire Mcquaid, has done just that.  In their first demo cd, they show that you can combine the two and make a great product.  The lyrics themselves are kinda cheesy though, but nothing that cannot be compared to the lyric quality of the 80s metal bands.  The i...
