Warcraft Millionaire


Warcraft Millionaire

Gathering gold in the World of Warcraft is by many seen as a hell of a job. Spending hours of grinding for just a few hundred gold if your auctions sell etc. We all know the scenario. We all need the gold. The solution?

World of Warcraft - Become Rich in 3 Easy Steps!


World of Warcraft - Become Rich in 3 Easy Steps!

What are best ways to make gold in World of Warcraft seems to be question on everybody's minds these days. It's understandable though because at the end of the game, if you don't have enough gold there really isn't that much you can do.

I'm going to tell you three easy but effective steps that can be used on any character to make gold:

1. Play the auction House: When you are browsing through item in the auction house and you come across something that is selling for lower than it's market value, without worry how much money it is, just buy and resell it for it's actual price. Now you have to be careful with add-ons that claim to do this for you, because they can lose you a lot of gold if you don't have the setting just right. Here's a little secret; the price of crafting materials is constantly changing and can always be sold for higher than you bought them.

2. Try not to buy items for your character unless it is really necessary. Every time you buy an item you are cutting into your gold stash that you could be using to resell items in the auction house. It's best to only use items that drop and quest rewards to gear your character with. Then if you have left over items, sell them on the auction house for bonus profit.

3. This one is huge; GATHERING PROFESSIONS! The more time you spend gathering materials with mining, skinning, or herbalism, the more money you will make when you sell them at the auction house. Ore and skins sell for a lot of moeny on the auction house because they are in constant demand. Their value can change every day, so it can be worth waiting a bit until they are worth more one day and selling then.

NCAA Football 2010 Vs NCAA Football 2009


NCAA Football 2010 Vs NCAA Football 2009

NCAA Football has geared up through the years to become the topmost selling college football game series for more than ten years now. It simply gets better and better through the years. It brings out much excitement in the player because of the incredible game experience it gives to every player.

With the coming of NCAA Football 2010, players would want to know exactly how it would be different from NCAA Football 2009. What's to be glad about with 2010 updated version is that it has all-new features that would definitely be delightful for all college football fans out there, especially when online NCAA Football 2010 gaming means points for each student who plays the game. That means each online participant contributes to his or her college's winning the season.

Fans have always looked for authenticity in the NCAA football series that it has become a great challenge for EA Sports, the makers. Good thing EA Sports have always delivered authentic games each time they come up with an updated version. In the NCAA Football 2010, each school or university who is part of the Football Bowl Subdivision will be embodied by their own colors, mascots and cheerleaders. The great thing about it is that there are now more than a hundred schools that participate in the 2010 game.

When this video game comes out in July of this year, there is now room for players who get lazy while playing. The simming option allows the player to pick the kind of play and the computer will play the rest of the game. Still to be tested when it comes out, no one still knows if it's bound to be effective.

Here's another incredible thing with this video game, procedural awareness makes the players look more realistic. With this latest feature, receivers and defensive backs now can look at the ball just before they play.

That's about it about the "known" features of the all-new NCAA 2010. There are still more new elements into the latest game but gamers are intentionally made to anticipate, to add to the surprise. EA Sports is deliberately keeping everything a surprise up to a certain limit. The makers have allowed fans to draw out wish lists for the upcoming NCAA 10 so that suggestions could possibly be integrated into the game. Among those that came out in the wish list is a better line play, addition of team entrances, and crowd atmosphere.

How To Choose The Best PC Gaming Headset


How To Choose The Best PC Gaming Headset

A good PC gaming headset is almost a must if you want to have the best gaming experience. Most games nowadays are embedded with high definition audio effects. To really enjoy the game and be in the game, a good gaming headset is necessary.

So what constitutes a good PC gaming headset?

Comfort

A good computer gaming headset must be able to provide comfort to the user. This is necessary since you will be wearing it for a long period of time. There is only one way to test whether a headset is comfortable or not, and that is to try it out before you make your purchase.

Most of the time, the comfort factor is dependent on the:

  • Padding - Is it thick and soft enough to protect your ear?
  • Ear cups - Is it big enough to contain your ear?
  • Headband - Is it freely adjustable to suit the size of your head?
  • Weight - Is it too heavy for your ear to carry?
Put it on for 15 minutes and you will know whether it is suitable for you or not.

Sound Quality

A good PC gaming headset must have the ability to produce great sound quality. While different people perceive sound differently, you can use these few guideline to distinguish a headset with good sound quality from a bad one.

Bass

A gaming headset with a powerful bass will show significant differences in first person shooting game such as Counterstrike. You will be able to hear clearly the bullets flying around you and distinct explosion in the background.

Surround Sound

Surround sound effect is necessary to create the realism in your gameplay. Those PC gaming headsets with 5.1 digital audio encoded will be useful to help you identify the enemy that is sneaking behind you or shooting at you

Noise Cancellation

Some gaming headset uses an external microphone to pick up external noise and invert them to cancel out any unwanted noise. This is extremely useful if you are always playing in a noisy environment, such as an Internet cafe.

Cable Length

The cable length will determine how far away you can stay behind the screen. A typical gaming headset should have a cable length of 2m. Anything shorter than this length will restrict your movement and cause inconvenience to you. If you are playing game console, such as Xbox or PS3, in your living room, you might consider getting a headset with longer cable or an extra extensible cable to connect to your headset.

Wireless Headset

If you always move around and do not wish to be bothered by the cable, you can choose the wireless gaming headset that makes use of Bluetooth or RF technology. A word of caution, wireless headsets might be more prone to noise interference and/or loss of signal during the transmission, which can lead to static, pops or annoying noise.

Microphone

Some of the PC gaming headsets are geared with a microphone to allow interaction during gameplay. This might be a useful feature that you want to include in your gaming headset.

Volume Control

This may seem a trivial feature, but it matter a lot when you are far away from your sound system. For a gaming headset with surround sound feature, it would be useful to have an inline volume control to control the individual speaker levels. You can customize the volume setting for each speaker to enhance your gaming experience.

Vibrator

Force feedback gaming headsets make use of vibration to try to recreate the physical sensation of bass frequencies. The headset can vibrate in sympathy with the low frequencies in the audio signal, so that listeners both hear and feel the bass.

These should sum up most of the features found in a good PC gaming headset.

In conclusion, choosing a good PC gaming headset can be a very personal thing. A headset might fit comfortably on others, but not on you. You will have to try out the headset before deciding whether it is suitable for you.

The rapid growth of computer online games and the wave of wireless value-added services gave birth to mobile phone online games. Mobile phone personal game companies started to develop online games.

However, due to the limit of operating environment and subscriber recognition, its developing step was not that intense, nor was the competition. As a result, online games could earn enough money to support its running, so most companies didn't have to invest huge capital for sustaining operation.

FIFA World Cup 2010 on You PC - Time to Start Preparing

If you are not like me, you must be a football lover. Let me use the words "soccer" and "football" to mean the same thing whether you are from Europe or America. This time around, all attention is focused to South Africa. It's an historic event in the history of this country and Africa as a whole.
Looking at the official Match Schedule as released and published on FIFA's website and the number of the ticket applications received during the first sales phase that ended at midnight on 31 March with a total of 1,635,136 applications, one can begin to imagine the scramble.

The matches will be played in the following towns/areas:

  • Cape Town,
  • Durban,
  • Johannesburg,
  • Mangaung/Bloemfontein,
  • Nelson Mandela Bay/Port Elizabeth,
  • Nelspruit,
  • Polokwane,
  • Rustenburg,
  • Tshwane/Pretoria.

One sure thing is that the whole world will not be at the pitches, not even all the South Africans. However, everyone that stays back is not necessarily not a lover of football. A good number of reasons account for this. You can start naming from lack of time because of other priorities, finance, and many others. If you are NOT packing your bags, there are other ways to be part of the tournament.

Don't ask me how because I know you certainly have a TV set with foreign channels. If your TV set can't follow you to the office or beach, I think the Internet can do. There are lots and lots of sites out there that will stream live images during the time. Also check the Net for some desktop applications that will bring the event closer to you.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 Vs Fifa 2009


Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 Vs Fifa 2009

Well the time of year has again approached where the two rival football games go head to head in the Christmas war. Who will come out the most successful? Who knows, only time can tell. But let's have a look at both games and rate each one.

Fifa 2009

First we take a look at Fifa 2009, the game which is highly anticipated every year looks to have improved itself on the game play side of things. From the start Fifa have this time wanted to get the game completely right, they begun the creation of Fifa by gathering criticisms from gamers and critics and it has sure paid off.

The game is much more improved then as of previous years, including ball physics and the collision system. You can also switch the camera view to any specification that you would like. But it does not end there, Fifa have made some amazing additions to the game such as the Be a Pro Seasons mode, the Adidas Live Season, and the 10-on-10 football. This all sets Fifa up to potentially dominate the football games industry once again.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2009

Well pro evolution soccer look to have put its gear stick on full throttle, and have realised they needed to bring back the game that won so many peoples hearts on the PS2. The game play is very much similar to that of its golden days, but it looks as though PES have not really considered the graphics side of things very well.

But the positive site of things is that the game play is very natural in itself and not to mention that they have the UEFA champion's league licence, they also have Manchester Utd's and Liverpool's licenses, but besides from that the rest of the players have obscure names.

Conclusion

Well in my eyes there can only be one winner, Fifa's new revamped look and game play over the last few years has set them up to dominate the gaming industry. There graphics completely trumps over those on PES, and with Fifa owning a lot of the unique licences, PES still has a long way to go. The once dominating football game for the PS2 has been outwit and outrun by the all so mighty Fifa.

This being said though, the overall game play of PES does still grow on you after a while, but as technology progresses that just is not enough and more needs to be done.

How to Dominate in Warcraft DotA


How to Dominate in Warcraft DotA

At present, Defence of the Ancients (Warcraft DotA) has been in the gaming industry for around 3 years and it is known as the number one online battle game ever created. Its popularity flows through the online cyber world and simply every single LAN gaming outlets. DotA has always been the hottest topic in forums. And what do people usually discuss about DotA? The answer is STRATEGIES.

This article shall present you with 5 top Warcraft DotA Strategies.

Strategy 1 - Mind Game

First and foremost, you must know your opponents. In order words, be aware of the characters they use. Knowing what kind of characters they use, enables you to know what kind of attacking method they will proceed with. Therefore, you can counter them along with your allies when the right time has come.

Secondly, underestimate your opponents. In many cases, gamers often gave chase to their opponents who suffer certain amount of damages, however they aren't aware that an ambush has been planned just for them. In these situations, we would recommend you not to give chase to avoid losing valuable gold to your opponent. It would put your team in a rather more disadvantage situation if your opponents acquire more gold for stronger items during the early game.

Strategy 2 - Last Hit

Last hit is a very important technique as it allows you to acquire a greater amount of gold and it will determine which party has more lane control at the later part of the game. Also, last hit will enable you to have sufficient gold you need to acquire powerful items you need stay in front of the game.

One of the technique to make a successful last hit is through the "ALT" key. It is for gamers to observe the life line of the creeps and the last blow should be made when their life run low. Timing is one of the very important aspect in this strategy.

Strategy 3 - Creeps Blocking

Creeps Blocking requires a lot of practice to be perfect. The reason is because you will be dealing with the AI and the patterns are different every time. However, once you can the hang of it, you will know how to deal with them effectively.

The main objective for creep blocking is to enable the opponents' creeps to be nearer to your tower which is a much safer place to stand. This brings lots of benefits in terms of golds and experiences.

Strategy 4 - team tactics

DotA is a team based game and it is essential for every team members to maintain good senses of communication. Confident will eventually grow when the team goes into battle with full commitment.

During Attacks and defends, they are to be executed with proper planning and agreement among members. This build trusts among everyone. With such cohesiveness being built, the speed of the team's action will increase. When the opponents cannot keep up with your team's attacking pace, victory is surely yours.

Warnings are also another important factor. Team members are to inform one another in terms of missing opponents in their lane. This is to avoid the chances of back stabs and ambushes.

Strategy 5 - Item Proficiency

Understanding the features of every item allows the gamer to save much time in farming and buy the right item which enhances the true ability of the particular hero. Every gamer must have a preplanned idea of what to buy at the start of the game, and what to aim for in your inventory list. Whether is it for farming purpose, mana regen or healthy regeneration, all have to be well-planned. This is to prepare you to be a good lane controller. In summary, by understanding the complimentary item build for your hero will boost its power and direct damage.

At the start of the game, it is best to continue farming in your designated lane. However in order to achieve that, you must control your lane well and cut the amount of time spent returning to the fountain. By knowing the items needed to be built, you will save more time returning to the fountain, thus more gold and experience can be attained when more time is spent on the battlefield.

DOTA Strategy


DOTA Strategy

DOTA stands for Defence of the Ancients. It is a mod for Warcraft 3. Since its inception, there have been a number of good DOTA Strategy guides written about it.

Here are 7 DOTA Strategy 101 tips to help you get into the game.

Tip #1 Farming

Farming means killing creeps or neutrals for gold. The more enemy creeps you kill, the more gold you'll receive. Sometimes when farming becomes difficult, player may turn to farming neutral characters for extra gold.

Tip #2 Last Hit

Last Hit means moving in close to hit the enemy creep for gold. Damaging an enemy creep does not provide gold, so its beneficial for a non-ranged character to move in for a last hit to receive this benefit. This also allows you to stay out of range of the opposing team.

Making a last hit requires a feel of the timing to deal direct damage for different characters. You can get a feel of this simply by playing the game often. A good strategy is to keep the thumb on the "ALT" key so that you can readily see the life line of the creeps, and only move in to get a last hit when its life is low.

Tip #3 Hot Key

Hot Key is an essential DOTA strategy. Different spells are tied to different buttons which when pressed will activate the spell. Since battles in DOTA last only a few seconds, clicking on the icons with the mouse is a little slow.

Tip #4 Mouse

Getting a good mouse is important for DOTA. You'll also enjoy the gaming experience more with a good mouse, skates, and mouse pad.

Tip #5 Item Build

Having the right item build will increase the power of your character. Some characters require more health or more speed, or more mana as the game progresses. Knowing the complimentary item build for your character will increase its power and direct damage.

Tip #6 Team Play

In competitive DOTA play, its necessary to play in groups. Public DOTA STRATEGY and Competitive DOTA strategy are different with the latter being more difficult and emphasis on team cooperation.

Tip #7 Mana Required

Always take note of the amount of mana required to cast 2 spells. 1 spell alone will normally not be sufficient to take down an opponent.

Tip #8 Item Cost

By understanding what items need to be built, you'll be able to know the cost and time your return to the fountain. Less trips back to the fountain means more time in the battle field, which translates to more gold and experience for your DOTA character.

Counter Strike Source Tips


Counter Strike Source Tips

Counter strike source tips for the many inexperienced Counter strike source players that find it very hard to compete against the pro's. Most new players can get very frustrated when they got killed too fast without taking any enemies down, and it can lead to anger and not playing counter strike source anymore. That's really a waste of your money, I guess you didn't bought the game to play it a few times and then quit because you lack the proper counter strike skills, right?

Therefore I came up with some basic but also very useful counter strike source tips. With these tips you can improve your counter strike source skills and survive longer, and the most important thing, you can even take some of your enemies down.

Always aim above the enemies belt, it will cause more damage to your enemy. Ideally you always need to aim for the head, a headshots means always instant death for your enemy. This might possibly be hard for you when you're just starting out but while you keep on practicing this you will get used to it. I recommend you to train with every weapon in the game because they all shoot different. You especially want to learn how to shoot with the M4 and the CV-74, you can learn aiming with these weapons in the aim maps, like aim-ak.

Always buy armor at the beginning of every round. This gives you more protection against your opponents.
Always reload your weapon after you've spend some bullets. But be careful and reload only when you're positively sure there are no enemies nearby and you will not be surprised when reloading.

If a flash-bomb is thrown towards you immediately look in the opposite direction with your back pointing towards the flash-bomb. This way the flash might have the least possible effect on you. You need to be quick with this one.

When buying pistols always buy a Desert Eagle this is the best handgun and with a max of two shots aimed at the chest you can kill the enemy quickly and easy.

If you know an enemy is hiding behind an obstacle just shoot through that obstacle because in this game your bullets can penetrate through almost everything. If you are near the enemy, hold down the SHIFT key when walking, your enemy will not hear your footsteps this way thus you can surprise him with a headshot if he did not see you before.

Why Online Text Games?

Why Online Text Games?

With there being so many graphical online games out there why would someone still play an online text based game or Multi-User Dungeon (MUD)? In the world of gaming MUDs seem rather archaic. Why are MUDs still thriving? Why are new games being built every day? Why are new players finding these games?

From where I'm sitting as a MUD veteran, I can see several really good reasons why MUDs are still popular.

The first thing that comes to mind is that MUDs are very portable gaming. Mudding is for serious gamers that want access to their game nearly anywhere. Anywhere you can access the internet, you can access a MUD. Some games have java or flash clients on their websites that you can access. For the hardcore mudder, any number of MUD clients (which in my experience don't take up much space) can be saved and run from a flash drive. Since MUDs are text based it is far less obvious that all that scrolling text is actually a game. Phones with net access, netbooks, laptops, and public computers will all run MUDs successfully.

MUDs don't require a lot of system resources to run. MUDs have been running on computers for years. Even older computers will successfully run MUDs and any special software that may be required or used to enhance text gaming does not take up much memory on a computer at all. Those with older computers or slower internet connections from around the world enjoy online text gaming as sometimes their only multi-player internet option. MUD updates happen on the game server and no update downloads are needed by players.

Most MUDs are free. There are MUDs out there that charge monthly fees or have pay for perks systems but the vast majority of the games are free. I'm not talking about cheap gaming but absolutely free gaming. Let's face it, it can be really expensive keeping up with most console and computer gaming. We aren't even talking about the software or the monthly fees, but also upgrading to a new console or computer system to run the latest games.

MUDs are very accessible. Blind, sight impaired players, and deaf players can easily play MUDs and get nearly the same gaming experience as everyone else. With no sound or graphics, MUDs level the playing ground.

Finally, the reason I am playing MUDs after all these years is for the better social gaming environments they provide. I have never seen a larger graphical game successfully create a roleplay enforced environment. Most staff on online graphical games chose not to police their players and the game environment greatly suffers for it. Players are MUDs are generally kinder and better behaved than those on the graphical games and MUD administrators are more apt to remove disruptive players. Social interaction is a large part of online gaming and that interaction is only worthwhile if it is positive.

The bottom line is that MUDs are still around and thriving. For these reasons above and more they've kept me captivated and entertained for years.
