Do I have to update my PS3?

Well since PS3 came back online because of the hack that crippled PSN, I was wondering do I update my PS3? I haven't go online since I bought the PS3 in march. So please I need some help. How long does the Update take? and Is setting up a account straight forward? any fees? and do I need a credit card to do so? More so, are all updates mandatory? Like Do i need it? I hear they update every couple months. thanks. Please give me a site for sources or if you're one of the millions who know about it. thanks.

Fallout New Vegas Pip Boy disappeared!?

Okay, so I edited my game save a while back and put the Mysterious Stranger's .44 Magnum in my inventory. It was really easy to be evil, and whip butt (1 Hit Kills). Anyways, so I stumbled upon a BoS base in the Mohave, and they took me to their leader and stripped my weapons. So I lost the .44 and its gone. But anyways, I just tried to put my profile save back into the usb and mod it again. But each time I mod it correctly, I turn on my game, and my Pip-Boy is gone, or invisible! I can still hear it, but I cant see it, it's just my players arm. A butt naked arm. Help, I have a backup save, but I really want my .44 back! How do I mod it correctly and flawlessly?! Help! PLEASE!

Severe Fear of People and I don't know what to do?

Ok so I have a severe and crippling fear of people. I don't ever leave the house except when I am forced to by my parents. I honestly don't know whats wrong with me. I've been to multiple therapists who assume I have Social Phobia but I don't think I do. My problem isn't really with talking to people its with being around them. If I am around other people or even just one person I have really bad panic attacks. If I'm sitting in the car in a parking lot and I see someone walk by I have a panic attack. They don't even have to be near the car. Even if I don't see the people but I know someone is there like in another room I have panic attacks. I can't talk on the phone for the same reasons. While currently writing this I'm starting to feel the beginning effects of panic attacks. I could just be sitting at home but if I even think about something involving human contact I freak out. I'm at the end of my rope with what to do. While I've gone to therapy I can never last more than 4 sessions before I can't force myself to endure the fear any longer. Every time I go it gets harder not easier. So I can't go to therapy. I'm miserable and it sucks. I can't get a job for the obvious reasons and I can't move out. I'm 20 soon to be 21 and still living with my parents but I need to get out of here but I don't know how. I have no way to make money. While being with my family when around others used to make me a little more comfortable, now Its getting to the point where I don't want to be around my family because I'm becoming more uncomfortable. I don't know whats wrong with me or what to do but I need help and don't know how to get it. So if you can offer suggestions I would seriously appreciate it. I just can't take this and the constant fear anymore.

What do you think is a better color choice for a bedroom?

I'm trying to redo my bedroom and having trouble with deciding what color to paint it. I'm stuck between some kind of green or an earth tone type of brown. Also I don't know whether to get new carpet or have wood installed. Any ideas or opinions?

Is it possible for a woman in her 30s to find love with a man in his mid - late 30's who's emotionally mature?

I'm an attractive woman in my 30's who's been single for a year now. I've got a good job and great friends. All the single men I meet who are in their 30's all seem to be emotional cripples. Do 30-something single men who want a mature relationship exist? Or are they all committment phobic?

I used to be a Christian, but does this mean that I'm an Atheist now?

Atheists' do not believe in God or any gods. If you still believe there is a God, then you're not an Atheist.
