Moola.com is a site where you can earn money playing games. There are four main games: Hi-Lo, in which you and your opponent bet on whether or not the next flipped card will be higher or lower than the last; Ro-Sham-Bo-Fu, which is rock-paper-scissors with a twist; Gold Rush, a game that involves betting pieces of gold hoping to end up with the highest total (this one is my favorite); and Charity Cash Cow, which is a virtual slot machine that has a progressive jackpot that is split between a charity and a lucky user.
So, how do you make

Injured by Living in a Virtual World
by Bea May 19th, 2009 | WoW
Some of you may have heard of the popular site, FML, where people post short stories of ridiculous things that happen to them. While reading this site, Fmlife.com, I stumbled upon this comment:
"Today, I learned that I have carpal tunnel syndrome. I got it from playing too much World of Warcraft. I got a disease in real life by living in a virtual world. FML"
I had to laugh a little bit, mostly because the author of this quote had written that FML blurb cleverly, but I then decided to look into this concept--of becoming injured in the real world due to playing in

Batman Gets Another Successful Adaptation, Maybe?
by B Kenney May 12th, 2009 | Game Reviews, PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox
A deranged psychopath haunts the streets at night, adorned in white face paint and red lipstick. His hair gleams in the moonlight, and a faint green tint is visible in the darkness. Then without warning a dark figure drops down nearby, his mask formed in the shape of a bat. A shrill and eerie voice breaks the silence, "Why so serious?" followed by insane fits of laughter.
The Dark Knight was a huge milestone for comic to film adaptations. It showed once and for all that comics can hold great story lines as well, so long as the right person translates

World In Conflict
by Jacob P. May 5th, 2009 | Game Reviews, PC
In 1989, the Soviet Union, due too severe social, economic, and political collapse, decided to invade Europe and then invade America. Wait, WHAT??? This is the alternate reality setting for the strategy game World In Conflict.
The game begins as you, First Lieutenant Parker (first name never stated), are on leave in Seattle when a disguised Soviet assault force arrives and begins an invasion. You, along with Captain Mark Bannon (whom you served with in Europe), lead a small resistance of regular army and National Guard troops. The Soviets force you to retreat, so you regroup with your commander, Colonel Jeremiah Sawyer
