Party Games: How to Make Any Game Fit Your Party Theme

It goes without saying that there is always a struggle when one is trying to find just the right party games and entertainment when coordinating a party plan, but with a little creativity this task can be made into a very easy and enjoyable job. After the scheme of your event is set, it is time to dig out the old favorites and start brainstorming. Here are some hints to how you find the entertainment bands-20" title="diamond">diamond in the rough for your occasion.

In creating games for your party, there are three vital pieces of information to consider.

Considering the interests of the crowd that will be attending your gathering is vital in that the games should be enjoyable rather than a nuisance. Elderly individuals are not going to enjoy Twister and Limbo just as active children would rather not play Scrabble and Monopoly. Active or mellow, many choices are available for us to choose from today.

Taking into consideration the time frame allotted for games is also imperative to success. A game that runs too long or too short can become unfavorable quickly, leaving you with many unsatisfied party-goers.

Once these two items have been ironed out, it is onto creating a new game from the dull and drab original. Consider the holiday or scheme your event is to be molded around. There are many ways to change an old favorite. Curbing hang man or scrabble by limiting the types of words one can spell or pinning-the-tail-on-the-donkey can be clothing on a baby. Hot-dog-eating-contests can become pie, pizza, or any culturally relevant food. Pictionary and Clue can come to life with scenarios relative to the guest of honor.

No matter what your party is pertinent to, whether it be birthdays, anniversaries or a holidays, you can always count on an evening filled with fun when you take the time to get creative with your entertainment.

Playing World of Warcraft - Choose Between the Alliance and the Horde!

| Friday, July 23, 2010


Image : http://www.flickr.com


Before you start playing, you're going to need to make one very important decision: Will you fight on the side of the Alliance? Or will you do battle under the Horde banner?

For most beginners, it might seem that there isn't much difference - and that is true, to a degree. Practically speaking, the only difference that your faction makes would be the races that are available to you, i.e. the Alliance have Night Elves, Draenei, Humans, Gnomes, and Dwarves whereas the Horde have Undead, Tauren, Orcs, Trolls, and Blood Elves.

Both sides have the same types of classes available to them, so you needn't worry about that at all!

Players more familiar with the Warcraft world will know that there are other story-based differences between the two factions. Originally, the Horde were the 'bad' guys, seeing as they invaded the world and started the wars. However nowadays the Horde are just any other faction, and are neither good nor evil.

Similarly, although the Alliance used to be the traditional 'good' guys, it too is not really stereotyped into that role anymore, and some parts of the Alliance have adopted a decidedly sinister approach on the whole.

Still, if you're interested in the lore aspects of the game, it is interesting to play as both factions

(though you'll have to do so on different servers), just to get a feel of what each faction is going through, and the problems that they face.

One of the only real considerations that you'll have to make when choosing between the Alliance and the Horde is this: Are any of your friends currently playing on any faction?

If you have friends already playing on one faction, and you want to join up with them, then you'll have to select a race from that faction too. Inter-faction grouping and communication is not allowed, and so if you and your friends are on different factions you won't be able to group up and go on adventures as you may desire.

Of course, it could be that you would want to purposely be on the opposite faction from your friends just so that you can engage them in battle!

On a serious note though - now that you know the differences between the factions (which are barely there), you'll see that it is a call that is entirely yours, and so if you want to you could just pick a race and not really even care which faction it is from.

Remember though - you are going to owe your faction your allegiance, so don't take this decision too lightly!

Scrabble Jewelry is a Perfect Gift

| Thursday, July 22, 2010


Image : http://www.flickr.com


Scrabble jewelry consists of many different types of jewelry made from upcycled scrabble game pieces. It's a hot trend currently in fashion. There are hundreds of different styles of this kind of jewelry, anything from whimsical to inspirational to personal. These accessories are great for giving as gifts for any kind of special occasion, and to anyone from tweens to teens to women and moms. With so many choices, you can see why this is a great way to show of your personal fashion sense, and of course there's something out there just right for you!

Scrabble jewelry can be any number of things. The most popular are pendants, but there are also earrings, rings, bracelets, hair clips and more! Anything you can think of has probably been made into some sort of scrabble accessory.

You can buy scrabble jewelry in many places from the real world to online. The first place most people look when they're trying to buy this type of jewelry is online of course. A quick search in your favourite search engine will bring you hundreds of results that will keep you shopping for hours. These fashion accessories are available in a variety of styles and price ranges to suit your every need. You can also visit local independent shops and boutiques- you'll find them anywhere from a major metropolitan area to a small town square. If at first you don't find them- ask! The boutique owner will more than likely know a great spot to recommend. Lastly, and probably the most fun, is to hit up local craft bazaars. This is a fantastic way to support local artisans, and also find something truly personal to reflect your style. Check with your local chamber of commerce, local newspapers, or even an internet search for your hometown and you'll find lots of shows to visit!

Many people enjoy making their own scrabble jewelry- this can be a fun craft to share with the kids. First you'll want to create your charms. This is easily done by finding some pretty paper or a photo you like, gluing it to the game piece and then coating it with a clear finish. The easiest option is to use one of the many non-toxic water based glazes available on the market. They dry quickly, have easy cleanup and of course aren't harmful to you!

Once you have your charms, the sky's the limit! Brainstorm a few ideas- what do you want to make? Perhaps a ring or a bracelet? You could make a bracelet a few ways, but the easiest, and also one of the most attractive, would be to create a charm bracelet from your scrabble tiles. Drill a small hole in the upper corner of your tile, all the way from front to back. Attach a jump ring and voila! You've just created your very own charm. You can now add it to a pre-made charm bracelet, or even go a step further and create a bracelet from scratch using a combination of pretty beads and your game piece charms. Happy creating!

Do not underestimate the value of a board game. They can be a great learning experience not only for the children, but for adults as well. They can tie family and friends together and keep audiences occupied for hours. One can only hope the value of these games will not be lost with the new age of toys and entertainment.

With new TVs and videos games in every home, it is hard to remember the board games sitting in the chest behind the couch. But do not let the children grow up without culturing them with a good playing board or two.

Instead of helping a child learn their abc's and 1, 2, 3's on a cd-rom, you should consider a board game! If you search around for a minute you will notice all the different types of learning games there are out there. There are games for classrooms, home school students, and just for some learning pleasures. Develop your child's mind with an educational game board.

Besides the learning experience you can have with a playing board, just think of the fun a lot of them are. You can sit your whole family down and entertain them for hours with a good game. They do not get old either. People can keep them their whole lives without finding reasons to throw them away.

Do not forget about board games when shopping around for entertainment or educational ideas. They have been around forever and have always been a great source for fun. If it ain't broken, don't fix it!

Playing Armor Games Just Got Better

|


Image : http://www.flickr.com


For a long time, avid gamers did not have the advantage of playing online. The introduction of Armor games changed it all. People depended on malls, arcades, and video gaming CDs to partake their share in the make-believe world of games. With the entrance of internet and online gaming world, specifically focusing on flash enabled entertainment like Armor games; it has become unbelievably easy to do that.

Today, Online Games Provide:

* Completely free use of sites which offer games without having to flash your credit card number.
* Playing with a number of opponents. Being on a network means someone else is controlling the other characters of the game.
* New and more graphic oriented games designed to test the skill and quick thinking of the player.

Just two decades back, players only had the option of games like scrabble or chess. But today, Armor games are being developed, which can put any action packed movie to shame. With the advancement of flash, there are notable changes in the gaming world and the graphics and sequences are more life-like. They provide users with visually dynamic material that is thrilling and engrossing in its quality.

Aside from the fact that this world provides an 'escape' from the complexities of life for some time, and acts as a source of entertainment, that too completely free of cost, there have been discoveries linking the playing of games to increased brain activity.

With games that take the players to mythical lands, war grounds, medical territories, and jungles, you can experience these regions first hand. Not only can a teenager enjoy Armor games, but adults can also become totally involved in where these worlds take them.

Classic arcade games have been revamped and made appealing to the tech-savvy, net-generation of youngsters, who haven't had the benefits of playing such games as yet. More and more Armor games are being developed that test not only the skill and efficiency of players, but also the ability to survive whatever the game has in store for the characters.

Internet Marketing Tips - Don't Mix Business With Pleasure

| Tuesday, July 20, 2010


Image : http://www.flickr.com


There is an old saying, "Never mix business with pleasure." This is more true than you can possibly imagine. A recent story that I heard from a fellow marketer has convinced me of this more than ever. I'm going to tell you that story and then leave you with a few tips on how to conduct your business in regard to the people you do business with. You might want to take this advice to heart.

I won't mention any names because I don't want to embarrass anybody, but a fellow marketer had written his list telling them that if they were interested in playing an online game of scrabble that he was more than up to it. Well, a few people took him up on his offer. The problems started when he beat this one subscriber at the game. Well, the subscriber proceeded to write the marketer a rather angry email calling him a cheater and a lot of other not so nice names. At this point in time, the subscriber then became an ex subscriber.

Now, I know what you're probably thinking. If this person is so unglued to get upset over an online game of scrabble, then they weren't worth having as a subscriber anyway. Well, that may not be true. See, in the normal course of dealing with this person, on a business level only, it is quite possible that nothing would have been done to set them off. After all, if all you're doing is sending emails with relevant content that helps the person with their business, occasionally sending a sales pitch, there is a very good chance that this person will remain a subscriber and even become a paying customer.

But the reasons for not mixing business and pleasure have less to do with ticking people off and more to do with keeping a professional distance from your subscribers. Once you start becoming "friends" with these people, the relationship changes. They begin to see you more on their level and the level of respect drops. In addition to that, they begin to expect special treatment because they ARE friends. Then, when they don't get it, they become resentful. After all, they were good enough to play games with but not good enough to give a discount on your latest product?

It's a very dangerous line we cross when we mix business with pleasure. So here is my advice. Don't do it. Keep your emails professional at all times. Do not inject personal information into them unless the info directly relates to how you make money or whatever it is your niche is about. Do not give out personal phone numbers or addresses unless it is a business phone and business address. You don't want people calling your home and having your wife and kid answering. This is just not professional.

If you keep that line drawn in the sand, you won't have to worry about people sending you emails calling you a cheater and a whole lot of other ugly names.

To YOUR Success,

Steven Wagenheim

How to Set Up a Chess Board

| Monday, July 19, 2010


Image : http://www.flickr.com


Obviously knowing how to set up a chess board is imperative if you want to play chess. Good news is, it's pretty easy to remember once you do it a few times. The first thing you should know is that the chess board is comprised of both eight rows and eight columns, which ends up making 64 total squares. As you can see, the squares are alternating colors between light and dark.

While setting up the board, you should make sure that a light (or white) square is at the very bottom on the extreme lower right hand side for both players on either side. You can probably tell that this works for both players once you have the board the right way.

When you're setting the pieces, start with the corners. A rook goes on each of the four corners. Knights are placed to the rooks, then the bishops next to them. Queens are always placed on the square of the same color (which means the white or light queen would end up on the white or light colored square (depending on what your board looks like), and the dark one would go on the dark square.

Kings go next to queens, and then pawns go in front of all of the other pieces.

All of these rules are essential. Once you get them down, you can enjoy your game of choice.

Just so you know a little bit more about each piece and how they move, too:

Rook - This can move forward, backward, left, and right - as many spaces as necessary - as long as it doesn't jump another piece.

Knight - The only piece that can jump other chess pieces, this one can move 2 spaces forward, backward, left, or right, and then also one place to the left or right (it always ends up making an "L" shape).

Bishops - These can move diagonally as long as they're not jumping any other pieces.

Queen - This can move as many pieces as it wants - diagonally, vertically, or horizontally - as long as it doesn't jump any other pieces.

Kings - Can move one square at a time, either diagonally, forward, backward, left, or right.

Pawns - Can move 2 spaces forward for the very first move, and then only one square at a time for the duration of the game.

Stress Relief Games That Women Can Play

|


Image : http://www.flickr.com


One of the best stress relieving practices is distraction. By turning your eyes on something else, you temporarily forget the things or the situations that cause you stress. Stress can drive you to anxiety, depression, and other stress-related psychological disorders; not to mention your physical health will also be compromised (chronic stress has been linked to heart disease). When you distract yourself, it postpones your development of those mental disorders. This is why if you distract yourself, find those with the "fun" factor.

Playing games are one way to de-stress. There are stress relief games for women, and there are some for men. For men, they can play their favourite sport such as basketball so they have fun, they get distracted, and they get to exercise - all effective stress busting techniques. There are obvious differences between stress relief games for women and men. Male stress relieving games are more "action packed". For women, however, they can settle for non-addictive yet fun to play games. Here are a few kinds of games that you may want to look at.

Online Games: Online games have a lot of subcategories. Try to stay away from role-playing games like World of Warcraft as you'll find yourself losing precious sleep - something that can add to stress and headaches. If you're registered in some social networking sites like Facebook, you'll find simple games there that you may fancy. Most of these games will require you to come back to check on them, but will not require you to stay for long periods of time. You may also look for other games as there are more outside of social networking sites.

Offline Games: Offline games are even simpler games. Examples of these are board games such as Monopoly, Scrabble, Sorry, Snakes and Ladders, and the like. You may also play word games on your computer. Hang-a-roo, Text Twist, or even Solitaire can help shift your attention from stressful situations to fun, and possibly brain-racking, activities. Buy a Sudoku or a Crossword puzzle book to keep you occupied during breaks at work.

Stress relief games for women are actually anything that they want to play. It's like music. While there are specific genres of music proven to relieve stress, any genre can put away from stress as long as you like to listen to it. Stress relief games for women can be violent video games, as long as it gives the desired effect, you like the particular game, and it does not speed up the process of developing anger management issues you can get from stress. Think about what game you enjoy playing the most. Are you into video games, word games, or web-based games? To relieve yourself of stress, try playing these games. It may just work some wonders for you.

Apple iPad Review

| Sunday, July 18, 2010


Image : http://www.flickr.com


Build

The iPad truly is a beautiful devious. On look at it and you will feel that we have jumped forward twenty years into the future. The iPad's exteriors is a combination of aluminum and reinforced plastic. Like most Apple mobile devices, the iPad only has one button: the home bottom found on the bottom of the iPad when help in portrait. There is the usually audio jack for those who want to plug in headphones, and also a mic. The iPad speakers do their jobs, but they are not going to blow you away with their quality.

The iPad has the standard Apple external connector which is the only way you can hook up the iPad to other devious due to the lack of a flash drive. However, there are many devious that can connect to the iPad and more are being custom built for the iPad and should be coming out soon.

The iPad weighs 1.5 pounds. It is significantly lighter than a laptop, but much heavier than your average smart phone or mobile devious. You will begin to feel the exertion in your wrist after hold the iPad for about half an hour.

Display

The iPad display is truly something to see. It packs 1024x768 pixels in its screen which seems like a low number, but images are crisp nevertheless. The color and contrast on the iPad is really amazing. The iPad's one Achilles' heel is that in direct sunlight you will see a ton of reflection on the screen, and the screen which is back lit get hard to see. This is most notice able when videos with dark scenes.

Eye strain

The has been a lot of discussion about whether or not the iPad causes eye strain. Based on my own experience and the experiences of others who have tried the iPad, this is really a hit or miss thing. I do not get any eye strain from using the iPad even after spending an hour reading an ebook. However, if you plan on making the iPad your next ebook reader, I would advise you to go test out an iPad at the Apple store first.

Media Consumption

Media consumption was supposed to be the one thing that the iPad excelled at, and it does.

iBooks: iBooks is Apple's ereader that can be downloaded free on the iPad. It comes with a free sample of Winnie the Pooh. iBooks gives the readers a lot of options such as changing the text size or the brightness of the screen. iBooks does not have a huge selections of books yet, but it offers books in full color and the touch screen ui makes it fun to read.

kindle: Amazon has made a dedicated app on for the iPad which always Amazon customers to access their eBooks or buy more from the Amazon store. The kindle has about 340,000 more eBooks than Apple's own iBooks. You can now watch videos that are embedded in the eBooks.

Comics: I think that comics where made to be viewed on a tablet like device. The beautiful display of the iPad combined with the interactive touch screen makes reading a comic on the iPad almost more enjoyable than holding a physical copy in your hands. Marvel and DC Comics both have dedicated apps for the iPad where you can buy new releases. Japanese manga are slowly making their way to the iPad for those of you who are fans of manga.

Magazines: So far the magazines that have been released on the iPad have enjoyed huge success. Big names such as Time Magazine, GQ, and Wired have all made dictated apps for the iPad where you can download the latest edition. The magazine companies are really excited about the opportunities the iPad brings and are still experimenting with how they should deliver their content to their subscribers. The eMagazines still have a way to go with things such as ui and pricing, but you can expect them to get better with time.

Newspapers: The iPad is an ideal product for reading the latest news in the morning at the breakfast table or on a train on your way to work. USA Today, BBC, The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, and many more have already made their content assessable on the iPad.

Video

The iPad is an excellent device for looking at video's. There are many options of where you can get videos from. Off course you have iTunes which has a huge selection of videos that you can buy and upload to your iPad. With a paid subscription you can also access Netflix on your iPad and stream movies and shows. For you quick videos you can always head over to YouTube and watch movie trails or a funny clip.

Music

The way you access the music is a little different from the iPhone, but it is still simple and easy. Apple has simple merged its ipod functions into iPad. One of the strong points of the iPad is that you can create your playlist directly on the iPad without having to use iTunes.

Keyboard

The iPad keyboard is much bigger than the iPhone or ipod Touch virtual keyboards, and the extra room makes it a breeze to type on. Don't expect to be able to bang out a 10 page paper (although I've heard that it has been done) but for quick typing the iPad will get the job done.

Gaming

The gaming on the iPad is not for extreme gamers, but more so for the casual one. In fact, I've heard of dozens of people who haven't played games in years finding a couple that they really enjoy on the iPad. The iPad offers all of the classic board games such as chess and scrabble and you can even play multiplayer. Then there are games that were designed specifically for the iPad. These games are clever, challenging, addictive, and loads of fun. And did I mention cheap? Most games are free and none get more expensive then about $5.00.

Northrend Bestiary

| Saturday, July 17, 2010


Image : http://www.flickr.com


World of Warcraft's Wrath of the Lich King has a new Bestiary that many players are quite excited about. In this informative guide, you will be introduced to the new creatures that will be released with this new game expansion that are considered to be "known" and some information on the three types of beasts that not so much is known about. If you want to have the advantage of what you will come up against in WotLK, this is guide for you!

Nerubian Vizier

This is a particularly interesting beast that is considered to be a half-humanoid and half-spider. These characters are said to be the main rulers in the underground kingdom of the Nerubians. Those that are considered to be Nerubians are part of a race that is considered to be not only ancient, but highly intelligent. Their native land is that of the ever-popular "Northrend", a piece of land that drifted to the far north after the great Cataclysm. This rests underneath the popular kingdom that is known as "Azjol-Nerub". This race once served under the control of the spiderlords that were Nerubian based. However, a great war occurred that is widely known as the "War of the Spider", and they rose to power.

Due to the high level of intelligence that this particular race has, it is believed that they have a "secret" leader that instructs their moves, their laws, and other activities. It is believed that they keep this leader in the shadows to avoid bringing his existence into knowledge so that he cannot be overthrown or out witted by the Scourge. These creatures are planning to achieve victory over the Scourge.

Plague Eruptor

The Plague Eruptor is a type of walking corpse that works to spread devastation in the areas in which they visit. These terrifying characters are all part of the dreaded Scourge army that is working to destroy anything and everything in their path. While this type of character is incredibly violent, super fast, and has an unbelievable amount of strength, these characteristics are far from the most frightening ability that they have. These monstrous characters have nodules that contain the plague. When the nodules burst, it rapidly spreads the ominous sickness.

Shovel Tusks

The Shovel Tusks resemble what we know as the common moose, the only difference is that the antlers that they have on top of their head is curved back and they have tusks that they use to dig for food, and even protect themselves. These beasts have been said to be extremely territorial over their space, and will stop at absolutely nothing to protect their area from invaders.

Wendigo

These beasts are actually humanoid creatures. It is a tall creature that is relatively dense in size and works to protect the area that it resides in. In addition to this, there are two dangerous horns that actually emerge from the head of this ferocious beast. While it does reflect that of the standard orc, it is covered in fur to protect itself from the immensely cold temperatures and stands an average of about ten feet tall. While they are good at masking their location, and often reside in caves, they seem to lack basic intelligence, but have a violent temper.

Flesh Giant

The Flesh Giant is an immense creature that is literally created from an assortment of flesh pieces. In some instances, it is not uncommon to see that part of the overall composition of the beast is mechanical based. The pieces that make up the composition of this creature have been obtained from many different corpses. These beasts are enslaved to the individual that they serve, and exhibit a massive amount of strength.

Taunka

In World of Warcraft's Wrath of the Lich King, is a type of tauren that has adjusted to the cold climates that it lives in. Their home rests in the frozen wasteland to the North known as "Northrend". While it is believed that their demeanor is largely due to the fact that they have learned to survive in the harshest conditions, it is important to know and understand that this type of creature has recently allied with the faction of the Horde.

Jormungar

The Jormungar is a very interesting beast that will be in the Wrath of the Lich King by World of Warcraft. This particular beast is especially aggressive. In times past, it is believed that these creatures served the Nerubians in the way of heavy labor and slave like work. However, when the empire of this people collapsed, these creatures made their escape to freedom. They are strong, and can adapt quickly to their environment.

Understanding the Rules of Penny Auctions

| Tuesday, July 13, 2010

If you're wondering how these sites work, this is a guide to the rules of penny auctions. You need to understand them if you want to enjoy the experience of the auction without getting your fingers burned by misunderstanding the bidding process.

Firstly it is important to state that every single site has it's own specific rules relating to the cost of bids, the duration of an auction etc., but in general the rules that most sites subscribe to are as follows. If you're going to join in, just make sure you read the house rules on the penny auction site you pick as well...

If you feel that the thought of being able to 'win' a bid for a car for just a penny seems too good to be true you're right. And this is the first rule to understand! Whilst each bid you make is for one penny only, the cost of placing that bid can vary from a few pence to a few pounds or dollars.

Penny auction sites make their money not on the price a 'winner' pays for an item advertised, they make the vast majority of their cash from the fact that every bid placed costs the individual placing it a far larger sum of money than just the single penny added to the final price of the item.

The next important rule to understand is that every time someone bids a certain amount of time is added on to the auction's duration, or the auction time countdown starts all over again from the beginning. Often auctions have very short countdown times to make the fight and scrabble to win even more exciting!

Many sites offer participants the chance to buy bids in bulk to win a discount - and look carefully because some of the penny auctions are actually run by charities and the money they make goes at least in part to a good cause.

Five Carebear Tips For Surviving PvP in EVE Online

| Sunday, July 11, 2010


Image : http://www.flickr.com


EVE Online, more so than almost any other MMORPG available today, focuses on Player-vs-Player combat. It does so across the server, largely without setting up cordoned off "safe" areas where players don't need to worry about getting attacked by other players. What this means is every player, to survive and thrive in New Eden, must be at least minimally familiar with how PvP works and some tips to succeed at it.

For the Carebears out there, whose primary interest is non-PvP (mining, missioning, trading, etc), here are five quick tips on how to avoid, or if need be, survive when unwanted PvP combat finds you:

Tip 1: Know Your Ship Fittings

Spent time on Battleclinic and the Ship Fittings forums on EVE Online, and get to know your ship's capabilities and recommended fittings. Don't let ignorance and horrible fittings make you a victim. Also be willing to sacrifice of bit of capability - cargo room, mission fittings, etc. - in order to fit a couple PvP-related modules or drones just in case, especially if you are venturing into low or null sec space. For example, if you are flying a tricked out faction-fit mission battleship, consider dropping a few Warrior II light drones in to scare off any tackling interceptors or frigates. Or consider a large NOS or Neutralizer for the same purpose. A slight drop in mission-specific capabilities could save your ship and expensive fittings.

Tip 2: Don't Make Yourself a Target

Even in high security (0.5 - 1.0) space, you are a target, especially if you make yourself look like a juicy and lucrative one. Some basic pitfalls that have claimed many an innocent hull:

o    Mission runners, don't trick your ship out with faction gear - that Navy Raven, Caldari Navy missile launchers, and X-type Booster may look great and help you run missions faster, but they make you shine like a beacon to suicide gankers in any system.

o    Miners - If you fly a Hulk in high sec, pirates will assume you have a faction booster. Be aware of your surroundings, never mine AFK, and stay aligned for a station or gate to get out in a hurry. In short, treat high-sec like a slightly more boring 0.0.

o    Haulers - You will get scanned down, and if you are carrying a mint, you will get suicide ganked even in high sec space. Freighters should keep their loads under 1 Billion ISK, and generally try and avoid the major routes in and out of Jita.

Tip 3: Love Safe Spots

Do yourself a favor, and every time you enter a new system, even if just passing through gate to gate, start dropping bookmarks while in warp. These "in line" safe spots aren't ideal - they are easy to scan down - but they are handy in a pinch and vastly preferable to having no where to warp to in an emergency. If you have time, warp from one of those safe spots to a planet, and drop a couple more bookmarks along the way to create even "safer" places to run to. If you are being hunted down, never linger at a safe spot for more than a few seconds. Warp in, and immediately start aligning for your next safe. Never stop until the bad guys have left the system (even then, beware of probing alts!).

Tip 4: Pay Attention to Local

Outside of wormhole space, local is your best indication of when trouble is near. It will tell you if war targets have jumped in system, or if a group of pirates on the prowl just wandered by. Always keep it in its own window, never minimized, and in a highly visible spot on your screen.

Tip 5: Don't Blindly Follow the Map

One of the fastest ways to get inadvertently ganked is to accidentally fly on autopilot through a lowsec system in a hauler. Pay close attention to your autopilot settings, and don't get lazy with the "Shortest Route" options. Also ensure you don't auto accept invitations - if you fly AFK often, set it up to auto-reject so you don't end up in someone's gang by mistake.

Playing Armor Games Just Got Better

For a long time, avid gamers did not have the advantage of playing online. The introduction of Armor games changed it all. People depended on malls, arcades, and video gaming CDs to partake their share in the make-believe world of games. With the entrance of internet and online gaming world, specifically focusing on flash enabled entertainment like Armor games; it has become unbelievably easy to do that.

Today, Online Games Provide:

* Completely free use of sites which offer games without having to flash your credit card number.
* Playing with a number of opponents. Being on a network means someone else is controlling the other characters of the game.
* New and more graphic oriented games designed to test the skill and quick thinking of the player.

Just two decades back, players only had the option of games like scrabble or chess. But today, Armor games are being developed, which can put any action packed movie to shame. With the advancement of flash, there are notable changes in the gaming world and the graphics and sequences are more life-like. They provide users with visually dynamic material that is thrilling and engrossing in its quality.

Aside from the fact that this world provides an 'escape' from the complexities of life for some time, and acts as a source of entertainment, that too completely free of cost, there have been discoveries linking the playing of games to increased brain activity.

With games that take the players to mythical lands, war grounds, medical territories, and jungles, you can experience these regions first hand. Not only can a teenager enjoy Armor games, but adults can also become totally involved in where these worlds take them.

Classic arcade games have been revamped and made appealing to the tech-savvy, net-generation of youngsters, who haven't had the benefits of playing such games as yet. More and more Armor games are being developed that test not only the skill and efficiency of players, but also the ability to survive whatever the game has in store for the characters.

Scrabble Online

| Saturday, July 10, 2010


Image : http://www.flickr.com


Scrabble was invented by Alfred Mosher Butts an American architect. Initially called Lexico it wasn't until the name of the game was changed to scrabble that it became such a huge success. Playing scrabble online is very similar to the original board game. Each player draws a tile and the one with the letter nearest to the start of the alphabet goes first. Each player has seven lettered tiles, each letter has a numerical value 1-10. The less common letters such as "Z" have a higher value. The purpose of the game is to make words from the tiles they have and gain the highest total. As a player uses his tiles they are replaced by more so you are always using seven tiles. when all the tiles have been used up the game ends.

Since online scrabble has become popular so too have other sites offering scrabble cheats. Personally I think it depends on your level of competitiveness whether you use a scrabble cheat. I play for fun and to keep my brain alert. It is surprising how many new words you can learn and how scrabble helps to improve your spelling. There are many different types of scrabble dictionaries available to help you master the art and improve your word skills, but I wonder if this is a scrabble cheat?

Playing scrabble is a great way to interact with other players and make new friends and once you get the hang of it you could become an expert. Practice makes perfect so go ahead find yourself a good site and start playing straight away

Apple iPad Review

| Friday, July 09, 2010


Image : http://www.flickr.com


Build

The iPad truly is a beautiful devious. On look at it and you will feel that we have jumped forward twenty years into the future. The iPad's exteriors is a combination of aluminum and reinforced plastic. Like most Apple mobile devices, the iPad only has one button: the home bottom found on the bottom of the iPad when help in portrait. There is the usually audio jack for those who want to plug in headphones, and also a mic. The iPad speakers do their jobs, but they are not going to blow you away with their quality.

The iPad has the standard Apple external connector which is the only way you can hook up the iPad to other devious due to the lack of a flash drive. However, there are many devious that can connect to the iPad and more are being custom built for the iPad and should be coming out soon.

The iPad weighs 1.5 pounds. It is significantly lighter than a laptop, but much heavier than your average smart phone or mobile devious. You will begin to feel the exertion in your wrist after hold the iPad for about half an hour.

Display

The iPad display is truly something to see. It packs 1024x768 pixels in its screen which seems like a low number, but images are crisp nevertheless. The color and contrast on the iPad is really amazing. The iPad's one Achilles' heel is that in direct sunlight you will see a ton of reflection on the screen, and the screen which is back lit get hard to see. This is most notice able when videos with dark scenes.

Eye strain

The has been a lot of discussion about whether or not the iPad causes eye strain. Based on my own experience and the experiences of others who have tried the iPad, this is really a hit or miss thing. I do not get any eye strain from using the iPad even after spending an hour reading an ebook. However, if you plan on making the iPad your next ebook reader, I would advise you to go test out an iPad at the Apple store first.

Media Consumption

Media consumption was supposed to be the one thing that the iPad excelled at, and it does.

ibooks: ibooks is Apple's ereader that can be downloaded free on the iPad. It comes with a free sample of Winnie the Pooh. iBooks gives the readers a lot of options such as changing the text size or the brightness of the screen. iBooks does not have a huge selections of books yet, but it offers books in full color and the touch screen ui makes it fun to read.

kindle: Amazon has made a dedicated app on for the iPad which always Amazon customers to access their eBooks or buy more from the Amazon store. The kindle has about 340,000 more eBooks than Apple's own iBooks. You can now watch videos that are embedded in the eBooks.

Comics: I think that comics where made to be viewed on a tablet like device. The beautiful display of the iPad combined with the interactive touch screen makes reading a comic on the iPad almost more enjoyable than holding a physical copy in your hands. Marvel and DC Comics both have dedicated apps for the iPad where you can buy new releases. Japanese manga are slowly making their way to the iPad for those of you who are fans of manga.

Magazines: So far the magazines that have been released on the iPad have enjoyed huge success. Big names such as Time Magazine, GQ, and Wired have all made dictated apps for the iPad where you can download the latest edition. The magazine companies are really excited about the opportunities the iPad brings and are still experimenting with how they should deliver their content to their subscribers. The eMagazines still have a way to go with things such as ui and pricing, but you can expect them to get better with time.

Newspapers: The iPad is an ideal product for reading the latest news in the morning at the breakfast table or on a train on your way to work. USA Today, BBC, The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, and many more have already made their content assessable on the iPad.

video

The iPad is an excellent device for looking at video's. There are many options of where you can get videos from. Off course you have iTunes which has a huge selection of videos that you can buy and upload to your iPad. With a paid subscription you can also access Netflix on your iPad and stream movies and shows. For you quick videos you can always head over to YouTube and watch movie trails or a funny clip.

Music

The way you access the music is a little different from the iPhone, but it is still simple and easy. Apple has simple merged its ipod functions into iPad. One of the strong points of the iPad is that you can create your playlist directly on the iPad without having to use iTunes.

Keyboard

The iPad keyboard is much bigger than the iPhone or ipod touch virtual keyboards, and the extra room makes it a breeze to type on. Don't expect to be able to bang out a 10 page paper (although I've heard that it has been done) but for quick typing the iPad will get the job done.

Gaming

The gaming on the iPad is not for extreme gamers, but more so for the casual one. In fact, I've heard of dozens of people who haven't played games in years finding a couple that they really enjoy on the iPad. The iPad offers all of the classic board games such as chess and scrabble and you can even play multiplayer. Then there are games that were designed specifically for the iPad. These games are clever, challenging, addictive, and loads of fun. And did I mention cheap? Most games are free and none get more expensive then about $5.00.

A Brief History of the Board Game - Scrabble

|


Image : http://www.flickr.com


Scrabble is a traditional word based board game. It has been about for decades as it was created in 1938. Not many people know but it is actually a variation on an older word game called Lexico. It was created by architect Alfred Mosher Butts. Do develop the game Butts had to meticulously perform frequency analysis on each letter of the alphabet in order to determine the scoring system!

The game really took off when in 1948 James Brunot from Newtown, Connecticut bought the manufacturing rights to the game by offering Butts a royalty on every game sold. At this point the rules were slightly simplified. The game was also called "Scrabble" meaning to "search frequently" for the first time.

Originally the game lost money, being manufactured in a former school house by Brunots family. It was only in 1952 when Jack Strauss, president of Macy's played the game while on holiday. When he returned he realised that his store did not sell the game and immediately placed a large order.

At this point Brunot was unable to meet the demand himself so he sold the rights to Selchow and Righter who had previously rejected the game! They however went bankrupt in 1986 and there assess were bought by Hasbro. Scrabble is now owned by Mattel. It was also turned into a popular daytime quiz show by TV network NBC and the show ran from July 1984 to March 1990. It was hosted by Chuck Woolery, the show continued for a few years before unfortunately it was discontinued!

Make a Board Game

|


Image : http://www.flickr.com


People love board games and for some the challenge of making one is as big as winning the game itself. The possible prestige of creating and marketing a board game is a goal many pursue with passion. So what's involved in making a board game?

There are many aspects to board game creation but the first and most important is the idea itself that will be the foundation of your game. However before you even work on that you need to make a few decisions regarding the target group for the game. For example, is it for young children to stimulate growth or learning in some way or is it for older ones that just want to have some fun? Is it targeted at adults that want to be stimulated or have their mental faculties challenged? Is it a fun way to get people out of their comfort zones and take a risk? Is it a fun game to just bring the family together for some quality time?

Once some of these frame work directives are established you need to look for an idea. Now you don't have to sit and meditate until you're inspired with an original idea. You might starve to death in the process. It can be developed by taking a number of parameters and moving them around. For example choose one or two from a selection of possible platforms such as, discovery, risk, task, challenge, reward, suspense, action, bargaining, speed or knowledge.

Decide what will be the end objective from the platform you have chosen. For example, 'discovery' could be a 'who done it' murder game such as Cluedo, 'risk' could be a financial game to pursue wealth such as Monopoly, 'task' could be a drawing game such as Pictionary and so on.

Be flexible with these ideas, as they're only a guide. The next thing to consider is the process of the game. Will you have dice, cards, actions, questions, guessing, timers, scoring or some other form of chance? Again choose one or two and see what you can come up with.

Once you've got some framework ideas you can add others into your game to give it a twist and make it original. For example can you apply strategy to your game where working with an opponent helps to defeat a third? Or suspicion to promote decision making? Can you incorporate a "ball from left field" creating the need for flexibility? Can you incorporate a challenge that will make them think out side the square? Can you add a loss factor to promote character or technical difficulty for endurance?

If you have gone through this process and developed an idea you have to bring it to maturity. You do that by playing it over and over to identify and solve every problem. The most important issues to consider are, playing time, enjoyment level and technical difficulty in regard to the target group. Talk to the players and find out what they liked and disliked about the game and refine until they just have to play it again!

Finally, you need to decide whether you want to take the game to market and generate an income from it. The major game companies are very difficult to get into because of their in house and contract game designers. One great alternative is to approach the "make your own board game niche" and sell to them directly the outline of the game, the graphics for printing and the instructions to create and play the game. You can then sell it on the internet.

Think back to when you were a child and you used to play with your GI Joe and Transformers . Those were the days when you had those cheap plastic molded characters that you used and abused in your playtime with your friends. The World of Warcraft action figures are not a toy for the little boy or girl; they should be handled with care and treated as a collectible. Keep them well protected and away from children. Don't let them collect dust on a bookshelf somewhere. These beautiful and intricate pieces should be well displayed and admired by others.

This could be the strategy of the casino to entice players to few selected games.

Baccarat is not exempted and contrastingly, it is a perfect example. Usually there will be several girls occupying the table to offer elegance and the dealers often don the tux for similar reasons.

How appealing can this simple game be and what excitement can it offer?

One very odd aspect about baccarat is you may receive opposing comments regarding the game. A group of people would be saying that the game is only profitable for the casino while at the same time; another swarm of players could be mumbling that baccarat players can make high profits. These contrasting opinions could be due to the combination of the low house edge as well as the casino's ability to lure players into the baccarat rooms.

Very often the baccarat rooms are kept out of reach, either separated or behind the velvet to instill the mentality to high rollers that they are more prestigious compared to any Joe or Adam. However, this is not true. The baccarat game may be placed in a closed area by the casino especially for gambling elite but it is extremely easy to master. Casinos can easily set a high table minimum by separating the table in a special room or offering special treatments to players. Nevertheless, the online casino can never justify similar temptations hence you can easily play the baccarat on the internet for as low as $10.

Most casinos, especially the prominent and classy ones will treat baccarat players like royalty. They are willing to spend lavishly on baccarat rooms by inserting ample of elegance and style from beautiful girls to the chandeliers just to make the game presentable to high rolling players. This is indeed different from the online baccarat hence they are able to attract posh gamblers to play a minimum of $500 all night long. This is definitely not attainable online as the virtual separate rooms or velvet ropes are not able to convey special meanings, compared to real land-based casinos. Playing it online simply offers the advantage of not travelling to the casino itself, as travelling could be an absolute inconvenience for people from certain areas.
