Buy Entertainment Memorabilia Online

Entertainment memorabilia has been big business since people began entertaining others in a variety of ways. Whether it was theater, movies, music, television, video games...collecting anything from autographs to posters to music records, yes, even someone's hair has become a passion for so many.

And passion is what it is all about. Many people go through an era that marks a stage in their life with some of their fondest memories. One way they remember these times comes through entertainment whether it be a band or a song or a movie that was out at the time and they fell in love with.

Collecting entertainment memorabilia for profit is another strong reason why people collect items. So if you have stuff you've hung onto over the years it might be worth dusting them off and getting them valued. People and things gain value for many reasons either through sheer brilliance or noteriety. That's why holding onto this stuff makes good sense.

At PaintedDesertNews.com we have a ton of resources especially if you are buying entertainment memorabilia and we're sure we can point you in the direction of what you're looking for. So check back often.

Whether you are a Cribbage player or a poker player, there is always a way to better your game. The only difference between Cribbage and poker, when it comes to strategy, is that Cribbage has had about 400 years of people playing it, so it is easier to figure out exactly what the game is all about and how to become a better player. With the following tips and tricks you will be able to improve your game, so that when you have your next Cribbage night, you can knock the socks off of your competition.

When it comes to tips for playing better cribbage you will probably know that there are many different ones floating around. The list below was compiled from expert sources and is known to actually improve your game.

Don't play numbers that can give your opponent a win

When a game of Cribbage is started it is often the tendency of the beginner to play the good cards first. This is the wrong approach to take when you are leading the game. If you are making the opening play of the game, you do not want to play a 5 card or a 10 card. It will be safer if you played a 7 for instance. This is because the 5 card gives your opponent a chance to score a 2 if he or she has a 10 value card. The same goes for the 10, if your opponent has a 5, the first set of points will be awarded to them.

In a 2 player game, try to take the lead for a run

No, this does not mean that you need to take the person who played the first card for a jog around the block. It simply means that you need to anticipate your opponent's cards. When it comes time for earning some points, and you think that your opponent's cards are suited to your own, play a card that will start a run. This could be any value card that allows you to run for a few rounds to form a three of a kind or a flush. So, if you were to play a 6, your opponent could play a 7, which is the start of a run. You will then need to top his play with an 8 and score 3 points.

Try keeping the lower cards for last

A mistake often made by a beginner to the game of Cribbage, is to play all of the lower cards first so as to not go over 31 and bust. This is a common misconception. The trick is to get rid of your higher cards and play the game so that you could end up, if you do not win, with the lower cards in your hands. Alternatively, if there is a chance that you might win, you will need that lower value card to play in the last card slot, because chances are that you will only need a 3 to play for 15, or to remain lower than 31.

How can I keep loose decks of playing cards together?

I have a collection of playing cards. Some decks have lost their original boxes when I acquired them. I tried rubber bands, but after a while they leave an indentation in the cards or disintegrate, become gummy and ruin the cards. I have hundreds of decks, so I need a solution that's quick, easy and inexpensive and also one that will allow the card decks to be seen.

I use zip loc bags for all my cards.....It may not be the best thing, but it works, Then I have a small clear container, that I put them all in

It sounds like you put a lot of thought and effort into it, and I think that's what attendants gifts should be. Something designed for each person, and something they'll use.

If I dressed as Harley Quinn for Halloween, would anyone know who I am? How do I make it sexy?

I haven't ever heard of Harley Quinn but my boyfriend wants me to be that for halloween so that he can be the joker. Any ideas?

If your boyfriend wants you to dress up as Harley Quinn, then chances are his friends will at least know who you're trying to be.

All you would need is some red and black tights, a black shirt with a short red vest, some red and black fishnet gloves, and then some facepaint. If I were you, I would do your hair in pigtails instead of buying a hat. It's "sexier" with the pigtails.

Here's a couple of pictures you could base your costume off of:

Just ignore the overall freakin creepy chick's faces in the video and try to copy the costume. You also don't have to go for such a punk/gothic look.

This one's from a video game, obviously, but the look is awesome.

Having a "best of" list always leads to arguments. Especially when discussing something like video games. Everybody has their favorites and their as loyal to them as a dog is to its master. For this list, I am strictly just referring to pre-1990. This should be the definition of classic arcade gaming. It's just like 60s rock n roll: They transformed oldies into classic rock. The 80s should go down as the most important in video game history.

So with that being said here is my very unofficial (it changes everyday) top 10 best classic arcade games of all time are:

No. 10) Pac-Man- The originator. The video game that even your grandmother heard of.

No. 9) Donkey Kong- Introduced the world to Mario. That alone should make it an institution.

No. Burgertime- The song by itself was worth the quarter it cost to play.

No. 7) Ghosts N Goblins- A game way ahead of its time. Added ambiance to the world of gaming.

No. 6) Outrun- The original car game. There's been car games before and since. But this one is king. It has yet to be duplicated.

No. 5) Road Blasters- What's better than a driving game? A driving game where you can shoot cars.

No. 4) Track and Field- The first ever button masher. Nearly lost an index finger to this one.

No. 3) Gauntlet- The cabinet was HUGE!! First game I ever saw where 4 players could play. To an 8 year old, it looked like a mini-cathedral.

No. 2) Contra- Before First person shooters ruled the gaming world, this was the shooter that everyone lined up for. The NES version got more credit, but if it wasn't for the 30 lives code, the arcade version was far superior.

No. 1) Double Dragon- The only 80s arcade game that I have ever played where at times I couldn't put a quarter in the slot because the machine was full.

Q: My 3-year-old has been watching his 9 and 11-year-old brothers play video games, and he wants to start playing games too. I know that there are games out there for kids his age, but is 3 too young for him to start?

A: There are many video games available for three-year-olds, including one by Fisher Price that has tots pedal a miniature stationary bike to work the game. But I would advise delaying having your son play video games for at least another year. The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests that children under three shouldn't spend any time in front of the "screen" (TV or video games), although that may be a bit unrealistic. A recent survey from the Kaiser Family Foundation found that half of all four to six-year-olds play video games, and about 25% play several times a week.

As with all children, the real question is: How much time playing video and computer games are we talking about? Beginning at four, children might find some video games entertaining and educational, but they should really be spending their time in more active and imaginative play. Time spent playing video games becomes much more of a problem beginning at five or six, when there is a significant push to get kids on Internet sites like WebKinz, and many more commercial games are available for the various video consoles. And things don't get better. In the 'tween years, many kids add instant messaging and social networking sites to their repertoire of time-consuming sedentary interests.

An article in the NY Times, "Moving Beyond Joysticks, and Off the Couch," by Tara Parker-Pope, asks a new question: Are active video games like the WII system better for kids than traditional sit-on-the- couch games? The articles quotes several studies suggesting that active games that require kids to dance or use body movements to control the action on the screen may burn as many calories as walking on a treadmill.

But while games that require kids to get off their bottoms are probably better than sedentary games, this is only a slight improvement. Clearly, being outside on a bike or skiing or playing tennis in the fresh air, with real people, is preferable than doing these activities in a virtual world.

As with so many issues in child-rearing, the best answer involves appropriate use of the "L" word. No, I'm not talking about love; the "L" word I'm referring to is limits.

Parents need to determine a limit for their children to be in front of the screen (TV, video games, computers) for each child, and don't exceed it. My recommendations would be: one-half hour or less a day for children ages 3-5, one hour a day or less for children ages 6-12, two hours a day for teens (which hopefully would include using the computer for educational purposes). Of course setting limits is one thing, and getting kids to do things like chores, reading, or sports is another. Responsible parents need to work at both limiting questionable habits and supporting habits which lead to physical and mental health. When it comes to video games other gadgets and gizmos, the sooner you teach good technology habits, the better.

Green Day American Idiot question?

I know theres a story for american idiot but what is he order with the songs like theres st jimmy jesus of suburbia whatsername and more

Jesus of Suburbia is this anti-hero invented by Billie Joe Armstrong. Jesus of Suburbia hates his town and those close to him, so he leaves for the city. As the album progresses the characters St. Jimmy and Whatsername are introduced. St. Jimmy is a punk rock freedom fighter. Whatsername, inspired by the Bikini Kill song "Rebel Girl", is kind of a "Mother Revelation" figure. According to Billie Joe, St. Jimmy commits suicide in the end.

The song "Wake Me Up When September Ends" was written for Billie Joe's father who died of cancer when he was 10 years old.
And my friend told me "American Idiot" was written about George Bush but I'm not sure.

Song list:
1. "American Idiot" – 2:54
2. "Jesus of Suburbia" – 9:08
* I. Jesus of Suburbia
* II. City of the Damned
* III. I Don't Care
* IV. Dearly Beloved
* V. Tales of Another Broken Home
3. "Holiday" – 3:52
4. "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" – 4:20

Motion pictures centered around deceased bloodsucking folkloric preternaturals, or vampires as they are more commonly referred to as, have certainly come along way since the good old days when Bela Lugosi's Dracula "vanted to suck your blood." And even though F.W. Murnau set the bar incredibly high in 1922 with his iconic German expressionist film, Nosferatu, the vampire subgenre has no doubt seen its ups and downs in the eighty-eight years that followed.

Of course you have the many great ones that we have seen, like Let The Right One In and The Lost Boys that have kept our spirits high. Unfortunately, we also have all the garbage that comes out that continuously drags the popular vampire mythology through the dirt, like the Twilight saga (sorry Twihards, it's just my opinion).

Luckily, Hollywood's latest contribution to the vampire counter culture appears as though it could pan out to be one of the better ones. This weekend, Lionsgate Entertainment will release Daybreakers upon the world, a futuristic humans-vs-vampires sci-fi/horror flick starring Ethan Hawke (Training Day, Before Sunrise) and Willem Dafoe (The Boondock Saints, Platoon).

The film takes place in the year 2019 in a fictitious world where the majority of the human race has been transformed into vampires thanks to a mysterious, unexplainable plague that swept across the planet. With so many bloodsucking coffin-dwellers roaming the earth, it doesn't take long for their primary source of food, that being us, to become an endangered species. Now, the few human beings left are forced into hiding as they fight for their survival from all the hungry, hungry vampires, who must come up with a solution to their dwindling food supply.

In the movie, Hawke plays Edward Dalton, a vampire scientist with a conscious. Instead of feasting on human flesh like the rest of his brethren, Dalton spends his days trying to perfect a concoction of his that would work as an alternative to human blood in which vampires could survive on, therefore ending the global slaughter of the human race. But when he stumbles upon a medical discovery that both humans and vampires would kill to know, it doesn't take him long before being on the run from both species.

Daybreakers was written and directed by Michael and Peter Spierig, the filmmaking duo who first appeared on the scene in 2003 thanks to their campy, down under zombie film, Undead. Moving from one horror subgenre to the next, the Spierig brothers will soon unveil their vampire flick to the world, hoping filmgoers appreciate their creative approach to the traditional vampire folklore. As Michael Spierig explains it, "Daybreakers questions how we would adapt if we all became vampires tomorrow. It twists the rules of typical vampire movies without discarding or disrespecting what we love about the genre."

With a lead star known more for his dramatic independent fare, Ethan Hawke admits he was hesitant to give the Spierigs' innovative horror script a chance. "I had absolutely no intention of liking it," Hawke declared. "I decided that I'd give it ten pages, and by page five I knew that I was going to do it. I could tell right away that the story was completely unique and a lot of fun. It's my hope that the movie will work with people who are determined not to like sci-fi/horror movies, as I was, and that those who do like them will really love this one."

With the film's trailer promising a very dark, blood-soaked vampire film much in the vein of the recently released 30 Days of Night, the Spierig brothers look to cement their status in the horror world as two of the most promising, up and coming filmmakers in the genre by delivering a film both horror and sci-fi fans will enjoy. But don't worry; it hasn't gotten to their head.

The brothers made a name for themselves thanks to a often humorous and very gory approach to their films. And even though Daybreakers is a much more serious, sinister film then their debut Undead was, the brothers reportedly have kept their keen sense of humor intact. Daybreakers reportedly starts out with an opening-credits montage depicting a world run by vampires as they stop in a local Starbucks during their commute to work for an early-morning shot of blood. Now that's some clever satire. Daybreakers opens in theaters everywhere this Friday, January 8, 2010.
