So my co-worker and I were having a discussion on what age differences between men and women and what age gap is to large for dating ? We work for a large cosmetics company and are in contact with hundreds of women every day ranging from eighteen plus years old . So what is too young or too old ?

I would also like to know your opinions on make up on women . Do you prefer a women wears it or not .

Finally how important are looks , body type , height ,weight , and so on to you ?

I ran into something yesterday that genuinely surprised me while out with my son on Friday. Being that’s its Labor Day weekend the beaches and parks that we normally frequent are a little overcrowded for my taste ; we decided to go to our local mall and play in its small play-zone, consisting of a few small climbing toys and various quarter rides . We have been there many times before and my son loves the interaction he gets with the other kids and everything is relatively safe and fun .

This time however, was different . I noticed walking in they opened up a new arcade named TILT, directly adjacent to the play-zone . At first I thought it was another ticket based crane game ripoff center, boy was I wrong .

After a half an hour of my son, Curran, jumping and playing and almost sumo slamming a couple kids , I convinced him to go to TILT .

To my utter disbelief they had some arcade cabinets; good arcade cabinets - shockingly awesome cabinets ....

As im sure most of you know , Cheapy D is going to be on an upcoming Howard Stern show . This news lead to me thinking about CAG and how much I really enjoy the site and how much it has changed over the years . Being a CAG lurker for almost three years I was glad when I had finally signed up and started posting and sharing my love for video games and more importantly video game deals .

I have been noticing that with the influx of CAG Newbies , this site has been plagued with wave after wave of less then stellar community members . I am not a fan of hearing how people stash games , hoard , commit fraud , and backstab fellow gamers. It has increased steadily over the years with more members becoming more brazen and less considerate towards one another .

This leads me to my question for all of you .

With Cheapy going on the Howard Stern show that has millions of listeners , this site will no doubt be hit with a enormous spike of new members ....

Just letting everyone know that Ponyo will be out this Friday at select theaters . It is a great opportunity to see Master story teller Hayao Miyazaki's tale presented on the big screen . I cant wait to see this with my kid this Sunday .

NOUN: 1. A deep, tender, ineffable feeling of affection and solicitude toward a person, such as that arising from kinship, recognition of attractive qualities, or a sense of underlying oneness

Since a very long time ago, people have searched for the meaning of love. But even the great philosophers, with their profound definitions, could not fully touch its true essence. In a survey of 4-8 year olds, kids share their views on love. But what do little kids know about love? Read on and be surprised that despite their young and innocent minds, kids already have a simple but deep grasp of that four-letter word.


"Love is that first feeling you feel before all the bad stuff gets in the way."

"When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love."

So I have been doing some soul searching lately . Maybe its all that liberating of Mars in Red Faction Guerilla or maybe its what’s happening in the world . I have been thinking about how my youth and my sons youth are so vastly different . There was no internet back then and the only computer I was familiar with was an old Kaypro that was very big and got very hot . I remember playing all these games on it that used little letters and numbers that mimicked little jumping people .

Arcades were just starting to become popular and I still remember the feeling of playing asteroids and Space invaders . My family would go to Round Table pizza and I would play the table top Pac-man and Galaga the entire time . . The year we got a Colecovision for Christmas is still etched within my mind and soul . The majority of...

Hello fellow Cags .
I consider this community really up to date with what’s going on in our technological society and a very intelligent group of humans . I want you all to please read this article and spread the word about what is going on in this country and around the world . I couldn’t remain mute to what’s really happening anymore . The country and world is changing so fast that how we live is going to change sooner rather than later . Freedom is truly in jeopardy . All I ask is that you take a few minutes to catch up on events that will effect you and your family .

I know this all seems heavy and it really is a buzzkill and its easier to just turn a blind eye and play some games , but please at least arm yourself with this information.
Im sure once you start to awaken to whats going on you...

Happy Fathers Day to all the dads out there. There is nothing more admirable than being a kind father to your children .

My day started off with sleeping in until noon . My son and wife made me the best home made card ever with crayons and construction paper . While my wife and kid were out getting me lunch I played some Red Faction, started a twitter and listened to the new IGN game scoop . We had a nice lunch and put Curran to sleep . She’s now starting to make baby back ribs and I can smell the dry rub and the Orange Blossom Cream Ale She’s going to cook it in . Ummmm ummmm barbeque ribs and Family Guy volume six for dinner .

How was your day fellow CAG Dads .

For anyone who has Netflix streaming , I’ve comprised a small list of movies that are in the must see category .
I was also wondering if anyone else had some good suggestions .

So I haven’t been to an E3 for two years in a row due to the new policy change . This year I flaked out and didn’t submit a request to go . I don’t think they would have let me in anyways being I am no longer with an "industry" company. So , I am stuck really wanting to go but I’m not sure how im going to get in .

I am looking for input from the community as how I should try to get in the show this year .

Here are my current possible tactics .

Stand outside of the convention center and try to scalp someone’s badge for cash .
Sneak in the back entrance and pose as janitorial E3 staff .
Dress up like a booth babe and test my luck .
Pose as a trade show union worker and sneaky sneak .
Pose as Wombat to get a pass ( I have a similar Jew Beard)
Shave my head as pose as Cheapy .

Any help no matter how outlandish it may seem is appreciated .

Thanks
