Grab a quick bite to eat here before entering the GMU station.

While great computer games come out each year, like Half-Life 2, Doom 3, Far Cry, and Sims 2 this past year, I don't really like shelling out $45 to 50 apiece for these games. All too often, we gamers get caught up in the thrill of the moment and don't remember to buy those games we were excited about three years ago but never got around to playing. Even games from several years ago can be fun, exciting, wildly entertaining and greatest of all, dirt cheap.

When paychecks go poof!

At first glance, senior Tu Dang's small bedroom, punctuated with framed photographs and cluttered corners, seems like that of any typical teenage girl. But wait -- there's a $600 silver Gucci purse draped over a hook on the wall. And a $1,200 Louis Vuitton purse on her nightstand. Not to mention a matching $285 Louis Vuitton belt tangled in a pile of accessories next to the laundry basket.
