If you become involved in the World of Warcraft, you will soon
realize how much there is to learn. The game offers so many quests that
it can become difficult to remain on the right path. This ultimate World
of Warcraft strategy guide will allow you to move through the levels
very easily and quickly.<br />
All that you need to do is follow the
instructions provided and you will soon be at the maximum level. It is
unnecessary for you to figure out the quests on your own. Some users of
the guide have managed to move up to the maximum level within five days,
but that of course depends on how many hours you spend on the game.<br />
<br />
<strong>How does it Work?</strong><br />
The
ultimate World of Warcraft strategy guide is an in-game guide. All you
need to do is use the easy installation process to get the software on
to your computer. Once this is completed, the guide takes over and will
direct you through your game with ease. This is a wonderful facility to
have because it is no longer necessary for you to tab in and out of your
game to read the instructions.<br />
<br />
<strong>What does it Offer?</strong><br />
The guide gives you information on how to complete your quests successfully, but it also offers you other facilities, such as:<br />
· Directing you to the exact zone based on your level of play<br />
· Showing you who you need to speak to next during the task<br />
· Revealing the quickest route to level up once you are ready to get started<br />
· Updating, in the event that you want to change your zones, play with your friends or if you want to jump over quests<br />
The
guide abounds in content. It does not only offer you ways to level up,
but allows you to view the game from a different angle. It also offers
the brand new Loremaster Guide, along with the usual leveling guide.
This gives you the chance to complete all the quests in the game which
ultimately unlocks the rare achievement of Loremaster.<br />
If you
activate the 'dungeon mode', you will be able to level up from one to 85
by doing dungeons only. The program will show you how you can collect
all the quests for a particular dungeon on the outside, which will allow
you to increase your experience points.<br />
You will still have plenty to do with this guide even after you reach level 85.<br />
The ultimate World of Warcraft strategy guide will allow you a swift ride to level 85, while dominating your opponents.<br />

Madden 25 is a new addition to the franchise of entertaining
sports in the electronic arts entity. It is a game that gives sports
enthusiasts a chance to immerse themselves in a world that allows them
to be NFL stars. It ushers in the next generation of sports games that
have the ability to deliver ten times more detail compared to any other
game in the franchise's 25 year history. Every step of the game is
calculated in order to showcase the most realistic player movement ever.
It also features sidelines that are rich in commentary and thunderous
crowds.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Madden 25 has been designed to deliver a real-time physics
to make sure that no two players will ever be exactly the same. This is
made possible by a powerful new infinity engine that was also in the
development of Madden 13, but it has been equipped with improvements in
gameplay as well as social functionality. You will not just get a chance
to play as an NFL star, but you can also play as coach. You can also
build your own franchise. Another thing you will like about this game is
that the roaster includes retired players as well as coaches. NLF fans
are able to invoke nostalgia by bringing stars that used to play in the
past.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Where tactics are concerned in the game, there is a bit of
diversity. Players are not subject to a specific subject of rules. They
are allowed to mix things up a bit. The game is also available on all
current generation consoles as well as PCs. The Xbox 360 Version of the
game is compatible with Kinect. The presentation that has been used in
this game is more similar to that used in natural television broadcasts.
The commentary audio is quite realistic as well as lively as it can be.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
NFS Rivals is a game that was developed by Ghost games. It
features a combination of hot pursuit's cops-versus-racer and the Most
Wanted's freeform gameplay. Rivals' setting is in the fictional Redview
County that has the most diverse geography one can imagine of. It allows
you to take the car in lurched vineyards and parched deserts, snowy
mountain passes as well as upmarket seaside promenades. It is a game
that provides you with a different pace if you had a chance to
experience the Most Wanted's urban sprawl.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
NFS Rivals is without
doubt a very addictive game. Every career is divided into chapters and
every chapter allows you to move through the cop or racer ranks by
completing several to do list of objectives. But it is also a tradeoff
since the Redview's winding roads allow you to have some truly operatic
chases that go on for many miles. The roads are best suited for drifting
as well as pushing fast cars to their limits, for instance Hot Pursuit,
rather than hiding like it is done in the Most Wanted.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Every
stretch of the road has its own challenges, including time trials and
standard races, different cars to shut down as well as records to smash.
It is a fantastically pretty game that can be played on your PC or
next-gen console. The cars look really brilliant, close to
photorealistic. Weather effects are also impressive. Sun, rain, snow and
the time of the day usually have an effect on the look of the game. The
game will be more fun once you get master its weapons, unlock more of
its cars and also become well acquainted with the map. The garage has
many high-powered cars ranging from Ferraris to Aston Martins. Handling
them is fun, accessible and responsive. Even if you are a newcomer, you
can still be able to slide tight corners with just a little practice.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Infamous Second Son</i> is an open world adventure game
released exclusively for the PlayStation 4. Developed by the long time
Sony exclusive studio Sucker Punch Productions, <i>Second Son</i> is the third game in the <i>Infamous</i>
series. The first two games focused on Cole MacGrath, a super powered
human called a Conduit that had the ability to wield electricity as a
weapon. If you played Cole as a hero (which <i>Second Son </i>assumes that you did), the climax of <i>Infamous 2 </i>culminated
in MacGrath sacrificing himself, laying down his life for the greater
good. Set seven years after those fateful events, <i>Infamous: Second Son</i>
introduces new protagonist Delsin Rowe, along with all new power sets,
and a Seattle that's under siege by a government agency called the
Department of Unified Protection, or the DUP, an agency tasked with
controlling Conduits in an effort to protect the rest of humanity.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Having
essentially established martial law in the city of Seattle, the DUP's
influence can be seen everywhere from the unmanned drones and numerous
cameras watching over the population, to the constant APC patrols and
frequent biometric checkpoints ferreting out Conduits (or
bio-terrorists, as the DUP's propaganda labels them) that are trying to
blend in with the general population. The Department is run by Brooke
Augustine, herself a Conduit with the ability to control concrete, a
power she uses to ruthlessly and efficiently hunt down her fellow
Conduits and incarcerate them. Delsin Rowe, the resident black sheep of a
nearby Akomish Native American reservation, discovers that he too is a
Conduit when he comes into physical contact with a DUP prison escapee
that has the power to control smoke. Now on the run himself, Delsin is
propelled into a struggle to free his city and heal his tribe, most of
whom have been mortally wounded by Augustine in her effort to locate and
bring down Rowe.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thinking the best defense is a good offense,
Rowe decides to stand up to the DUP and the megalomaniac Augustine.
Using his newfound powers, and his knack for inflammatory anti-DUP
graffiti, Delsin chips away at the Department's hold on the city's
districts by any means possible. As he liberates Seattle's neighborhoods
one by one, Delsin's path leads him inexorably on towards an ultimate
confrontation with the DUP and Augustine herself. Luckily he is not
alone, and with the help of his long-suffering brother Reggie, and
perhaps a couple new Conduit powers borrowed from other 'bio-terrorists'
rumored to be hiding out within the Seattle city limits, Delsin Rowe
just might stand a chance against the overwhelming odds stacked against
him.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Infamous Second Son</i> is a truly gorgeous game, and while I haven't had extensive experience with the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One consoles, I can say <i>Second Son </i>is
one of the first games on the new hardware that truly shouts 'next-gen'
to me. It truly looks and feels like something the PS3 or Xbox 360
would not be able to duplicate. While this is in part due to the game's
graphics, leaving it at that would not tell the whole story. Sure, the
cutscenes are beautifully rendered, but the voice acting is also spot
on. The controls are tight and responsive, making use of the Dualshock 4
controller's touch pad frequently, but without making it feel overly
awkward or forced. The game's script itself is also strong, with only a
few predictable moments and bits of hokey dialog peppered throughout.
The city itself is likely not as detailed as what we'll be seeing on the
PS4 in a year or two, but it is beautifully lit with some outstanding
lighting effects that take full advantage of Seattle's generally damp
conditions and the numerous neon signs scattered throughout Sucker Punch
Productions' iteration of the city.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
All in all <i>Infamous Second Son</i>
is a great game, and feels like a thoroughly play tested, high quality
experience. Likely it will be looked back upon as one of the first
titles to push the envelope of this most recent hardware cycle. If
you're a fan of third person adventure games with open world's to
explore a la <i>Assassin's Creed III,</i> and <i>Saint's Row IV</i>, you owe it to yourself to check out <i>Infamous Second Son</i>
today. It is a solid gaming experience overall, and one of the first
truly outstanding games to reveal itself here in the infancy of the
PlayStation 4. Look for it at your local Slackers today!</div>

<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
E3 2014 was a big year for
Nintendo, Microsoft but especially Sony. This year like last year Sony outdid
Microsoft by a slight margin. While the main focus of Sony was games, they also
debut some interesting new services such as PlayStation TV and PlayStation Now.
PlayStation TV is a cross between a gaming console and media streaming console.
It allows gamers to not have to buy another console to stream and play on
another TV, as well as stream amazon Instant Video and Netflix.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
PlayStation Now was shown off at
E3 and is a game streaming service allowing gamers to play PlayStation 3 and
other PlayStation titles on their PlayStation 4. This is to cater to the gamers
that want to play older PlayStation titles since PlayStation 4 can't play
PlayStation 3 or past generation games.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Project Morpheus was also shown
off and playable at the E3 event. Although it was still in the prototype phase,
it looks like a serious console exclusive that might rival the Oculus Rift.
Project Morpheus allows you to put yourself inside the game, with Project
Morpheus tracking your every head movement and changing the perspective
accordingly.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Of course the big part of Sony's
showing at E3 2014 were the games. Little Big Planet was shown off with
cooperative play being a big part of the experience. Little Big Planet is an
interesting side scrolling, puzzle solving, platformer in which you play as
little sock people essentially and the past two titles have been big hits.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
DLC from past games as well as levels created in past games are playable on the
latest Little Big Planet as well.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End was
also shown off, being set several years after the last one. After retiring as a
fortunate hunter, Nathan Drake will embark on his biggest adventure yet. He
sets out on a globe spanning journey, looking to find fabled pirate treasure.
The game is set around a historical conspiracy and is his greatest adventure
yet which will test Nathan Drake's limits.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Bloodborne is another exciting
game being developed by the creators of Dark Souls I and II, and coming to
PlayStation 4 exclusively. Bloodborne is set in an ancient city of Yharnam,
which many travelers take a pilgrimage to for a remedy to cure their
afflictions. The protagonist you play is an adventurer in search of this cure
but upon coming to the city finds that a curse has fallen upon the city and
driven the city's population violent and insane. You must look for the cure
while fighting off the insane population of the city of Yharnam.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
A remastered release of The Last
of Us is also coming to the PlayStation 4, with all DLC included.<o:p></o:p></div>

The recent rise in popularity of online 3D games is overwhelming. Many people

entertaining. As a result, many developers are creating different varieties to
curb the overgrowing worldwide population venturing into 3D gaming every single
day. Some of the reasons why these games are becoming increasingly popular are
as follows:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif";">Great graphics and
sound effects<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif";">Thanks
to the development in the field of technology, many developers are able to make
great ones that have great visual display. Some of them look very real and the
sound quality and flow has been greatly been improved when compared to the
previous games. The three-dimensional effect makes them more appealing and
attractive to the players. This enables one to enjoy them, thanks to the great
graphics and sound effects.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif";">Accessibility<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif";">Simply
by owning a personal computer or visiting a cyber café, you can indulge in
these games. Many companies are also creating great ones that are compatible
with the wide range of smartphones hence easily accessible. Furthermore, many
companies are not selling theirs, but you may have to make a few online
purchases on some instances.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif";"><br />
Variety<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif";">The
wide variety of the games has been a dominant factor in the overwhelming
indulgence of the game. From football, car-racing, farming and games fit for
the female gender, the plate is big enough for anyone no matter the preference
and taste.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif";">Various
opponents<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif";">Since
these games are readily available in many countries, throughout your playing
time, you can be able to meet opponents from many parts of the world with
various strengths and experience. With time, the players are motivated to meet
various opponents and judge how well they can play the games.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif";">Affordable<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif";">Since
most of these games are freely offered online by the various manufacturers,
they are easily available to many people who are interested without having to
pay huge amounts of money to acquire them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif";">Playability<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif";">The
fact that most of these games are easy to play and learning may take very
little time has influenced their wide popularity. Many people learn how to play
the games every single day and love the experience.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif";">Hence,
some of the reasons why 3D games are popular are their accessibility, their
availability and the ease with which people learn to play the game.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif";">If you
knew anything about me, you would probably note that I'm a massive Spider-Man
fan. I have various posters around my room, multiple ticket stubs from the
Marvel movies and heck, I'm even drinking out of a Spider-Man cup right now.
Needless to say, I was pretty excited to play Beenox's latest Spider-Man game, The
Amazing Spider-Man 2 for the Xbox One. Usually, I'm apprehensive about
playing a movie tie-in game, but he's my favorite hero. Even if it's an average
game I should be able to look past its faults, right? After playing the fairly
short campaign, I have to say this Xbox One iteration of the web-slinger should
have been squashed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif";">When
you first stumble into the game world, the opening sequence is a recap of Uncle
Ben's death from the first film. Of course, it may be hard to recognize who the
characters are just because of how different they look to the source material.
Here, Peter Parker looks more like Charlie Day from It's Always Sunny in
Philadelphia, especially with the jacket they've got him wearing. The opening
scene is total filler and doesn't add anything to the overall story.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif";">Speaking
of the story, it's a complete mess. I understand that it's a movie tie-in, and
the developers might not get the full script from the accompanying film, but at
the end of the day the plot here is just too hard to follow. The movie itself
is already busy, but when the game adds their own villains from the comics into
the movie, the main antagonists from the film get put on the back-burner.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif";">My main
beef with the primary storyline followed by the game, is that it completely
omits Gwen Stacy from the entire experience. Gwen is Peter Parker's greatest
ally, and in the Amazing Spider-Man 2 film she plays a massive role. I don't
understand why we needed Uncle Ben, who isn't even in the movie, more than we
needed Gwen Stacy. Just a bit of a head scratcher there, but one of the many
problems with the convoluted story.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif";">Once
you get use to the scrambled plot, you'll take notice how funny the dialogue
is. This isn't a good thing unfortunately. What I mean is that the dialogue
could have been written by a four year old. My favorite exchange is when Peter
Parker first meets the dangerous hunter Kraven in his swank New York apartment.
Kraven explains how he wrestled a grown tiger and how much it angers him to see
the endangered animals hunted and killed. All the while, directly behind Kraven
there is a tiger pelt adorning his couch.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif";">Thankfully,
the gameplay itself isn't as hopeless. Spider-Man moves with incredible agility
and web-slinging is now mapped to both the left and right triggers. There are
minor issues such as the need to be pin-point accurate while traveling, but the
game's 'Web Rush' mode helps with that. The city feels more alive than in the
previous Spidey games but it's still ultimately a poor man's GTA. Honestly, the
most fun I had with the game wasn't the combat, it was simply just swinging
from one side of the city to another.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif";">When
the fisticuffs finally start happening, you'll notice just how clunky the
entire combat system actually is. With Amazing Spider-Man 2, Beenox tries to
copy the outstanding melee combat of Rocksteady's Batman titles. What you'll
get here is sloppy, broken, glitch-filled anarchy. I was fighting the camera
harder than I fought any of the bad guys. Even with the clunky viewpoints and
the floaty combat, the game was never challenging. Throughout the short six
hour campaign, I managed to die only once and that's because the batteries in
my controller died.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif";">When
you're not busy fighting random gang members on the street, you'll have some of
the web-slinger's most famous adversaries to contend with. During the boss
fights, you'll rarely have anything to worry about with their mechanics. It
boils down to mostly dodge the incoming assault, then mash on the attack button
until you win. Granted, like Arkham City, once you defeat a boss you'll unlock
new equipment for your hero. Ionic webbing and seismic blasts to be exact, both
skills are just ways to defeat the cannon fodder later in the game and both are
incredibly lame.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif";">If the
story and the combat wasn't enough to make you turn off your console, the
atrocious visuals within the game might. While playing through the game on the
Xbox One, I felt that this game was more on par with a PlayStation 2 launch
title. Mouths move out of sync, clothes have less pixels than Pong and the
environment looks something out of Rampage on the Nintendo 64. Visuals usually
won't make a game great, but when the other aspects of this title are so bad,
the muddled graphics pile onto the rest of the problems and the result is a
game that is, in a word, garbage. The first Amazing Spider-Man game that came
out in 2012 looks better than this game running on Xbox One!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif";">As I
previously stated before, this game is a movie tie-in and we can't expect GOTY
material from it, but with an asking price of 60 dollars, I can't find any
reason to justify the price. The only positive thing I could say about The
Amazing Spider-Man 2 is that the game does include a bunch of unlockable
costumes for Spider-Man and there is quite the diverse selection. With
developer Beenox only making one actual serviceable Spider-Man game, it may be
time for someone else to take the helm. Stay away from this Xbox One title.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif";">Nintendo
has quite the selection of marquee characters from Mario, Link, Yoshi, and
Samus but most people forget about poor Donkey Kong. Even Luigi had his own
year in 2013! It's a shame because the Donkey Kong franchise has had some of
the best Nintendo titles in the past 20 years. With Nintendo's new title in the
DK Country series, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, we have one of the
best titles for the Wii U to date.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif";">When
the action first hits, Donkey Kong and his other gorilla family members are
celebrating the big guy's birthday. Like any good action game, nothing goes
according to plan. Poor Donkey Kong's birthday festivities are ruined by the
Snowmads who make the tropical island freeze over. Not exactly thrilling by any
sort of the imagination, but the reactions of the Kong family are priceless.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif";">Donkey
Kong and his family try to reclaim their home island and fix the icy escalation
and bring their tropical paradise back to normal. Throughout the game, Donkey
Kong travels to all the areas of the world and from my experience all the
worlds are refreshing and unique from one another. You might be playing on an
island on one stage then hop to a desert in another. The classic level variety
in Mario games is present in 'Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze". The game
makes the player want to see the next adventure.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif";">While
you're trying to bumble and thrash you way through the story, you'll notice how
simple but exceedingly challenging this game really is. Just like the Mario
franchise, Donkey Kong has a limited number of moves available to him. You're
allowed to jump on enemies like the famous plumber and partake in thrilling
platforming challenges, there's a roll-attack that will finish off enemies, and
the lovely brute is surprisingly nimble once he climbs on branches and vines.
They all sound simple but the game provides a brutal way of forcing you to
master Donkey Kong's abilities.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif";">The
huge difficulty spike could really dampen skilled platformer player's spirits
along with younger gamers. The game forces you to have pin-point accuracy no
matter what you're doing. Whether it's jumping on a baddies head to extinguish
him or timing your vine swings perfectly to avoid an obstacle. The game never
lets up, but when you do manage to complete the task that's been giving
yourself trouble, there's hardly a more rewarding experience in gaming. It's
not Dark Souls II level of frustration but its close.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif";">Along
with the difficult jumping, swinging and rolling gameplay of Donkey Kong,
you'll have opportunities to call in his family members. Just like the SNES
classic Donkey Kong Country, Diddy Kong, Dixie Kong and even the wise Cranky
Kong will join the adventure. Diddy Kong will assist your vertical hang time
with his jetpack, Dixie will allow you to stay in the air longer with her
pigtails. My personal favorite is Cranky Kong, who will allow you to bounce
higher and longer with his Ducktales style cane maneuvers. They will only
assist Donkey Kong during certain portions of the game and you'll have to free
them from their barrels, but the opportunities are frequent.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif";">You'll
need your allies for the game's outstanding boss fights too. Just like any classic
Nintendo first party game, you'll have multiple stages of the encounter. For
example, one that gave me tremendous trouble was the gigantic owl, who would
send razor sharp feathers down on Donkey Kong and his family. There was just so
much going on during the fight that every button press was a matter of life and
death. I haven't had this much trouble (or fun) in a game in quite some time.
The sense of accomplishment was better than any achievement or trophy unlock
from other systems.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif";">One
aspect of this game that didn't quite shine as well as other Nintendo
platformers was the co-op. My friends and I just didn't see eye to eye when it
came to jumping, fighting or simple puzzle solving. When we were in a boss
encounter, it was more successful to just shut off one of the controllers and
let one person handle it. There's just too much action on-screen and the game
simply plays better with one person. Still though, the multiplayer option is
always there in case you have a curious on-looker who wants to see what the
fuss is about.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif";">Games
from this generation are too easy, it's great to see a game like Donkey Kong
Country: Tropical Freeze actually challenge players. Even for younger gamers,
once they beat a portion by themselves, there won't be a greater reward.
Though, it would've been nice to have actual unlockable characters to work for.
The Wii U is in desperate need of great games and with Donkey Kong Country:
Tropical Freeze it's found one. This is one of those most own games for any
type of gamer, and if you can resist breaking the controller you're in for one
rewarding experience.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
There is no denying that social media is a boon. Right from
keeping in touch with long- lost friends and relatives to doing business
in a better and brisker way, it's all possible on Facebook today. But
the biggest thing that makes this social media platform so popular today
is that it offers many games. The games on Facebook are just so
addictive that people are making big money on just promoting games on
this platform. The gaming experience for people is getting more and more
exciting by the day!<br />
Playing games on social media platforms may
be a great way to kill time, but what do you do if you find that you
have a gaming addict in a spouse who can think of nothing better than
fiddling with his phone and playing the likes of Candy Crush, Farmville,
Dragon City and even spending precious family time playing Facebook
games instead of attending a family dinner or your daughter's ballet
recital?<br />
Gaming addiction on Facebook is as much a social problem
as any other, and as a spouse,you are quite justified in being concerned
about it. But you know it as well as any other that nagging or fighting
about it, will worsen things. Here are things you can do to handle a
gaming addiction-<br />
<strong>Question yourself first </strong><br />
Before
you make up your mind that your spouse indeed has a gaming addiction,
watch him closely and honestly answer the question whether his playing
games is affecting your marriage and family time, or do you detest it,
because it simply irritates you. If he is still attentive to you and the
family's needs and is chilling out on Facebook once in a while, maybe
you should not hold it against him in the first place.<br />
<strong>Keep track of his gaming hours </strong><br />
If
you think that he is way past the "just chilling out" mark, begin by
keeping track of the hours he plays. Make note of it as discreetly as
possible. If you make a big song and dance about it, he will start
erasing evidence.<br />
<strong>Watch out for any physical or behavioral changes</strong><br />
Most
of the times people who get truly addicted to gaming tend to develop
some physical discomforts such as muscle aches or back pain or
headaches. He may even develop behavioral changes and may be found
snapping at you or the children much too often.<br />
<strong>Time for an intervention</strong><br />
Once
you have made careful notes about how his gaming is affecting your
personal life, it's time for the intervention. Make sure you send the
kids away or have a sitter take care of them while you and your better
half settle down for a quiet dinner. During the dinner approach the
topic as gently as possible and explain to him with all the evidence as
to how it's affecting his health and your personal lives. But do
remember not to sound judgmental or accusatory during this exercise.<br />
The
point is to make him see that you love him and want what is best for
him and the family. Sometimes just doing these things will help him get
over his addiction of Facebook games. If it's more serious than that,
you may have to seek professional help.<br />

There are basically three different classes of shoes you might consider if you are walking for fitness.<br />
Some
are cushioned, some are for more stability and others focus on motion
control. If you have a higher arch than most people, you most likely
would require a "cushioned" shoe. If you look at the bottom of a
cushioned shoe you will find that it is more narrow in the mid-foot
area. It will also be lighter than most shoes. They would not be a great
choice if you have knee problems or tend to point your toes outward.<br />
Around
80 percent of walkers may prefer a shoe that has more stability. It's
not as narrow as a cushioned shoe, but is more stable and is built in
such a way to provide more arch support. If you tend to be on the heavy
side, have lower arches or flat feet, your best choice may be
"motion-control" shoes.<br />
Motion-control shoes are the widest of the
three classes of shoes and will give you maximum stability. These shoes
are best for walking and not running and will help you get the most out
of those days when you are walking for fitness.<br />
The following a
few tips tips to help you right the right pair of motion-control shoes.
If you have your own inserts (which is possible if you have flat feet)
bring them when you go shoe-shopping.<br />
Remove the inserts in the shoe and try them on with your own.<br />
Be sure to wear the same socks as ones you will use for walking.<br />
Shop late in the day. Your feet will naturally swell and this will provide a better fit.<br />
If
a motion-control shoe is what you are after, be sure it is on the wide
side, but has a snug heel. You don't want your heel to move up and down
inside the shoe as you walk because this will lead to blisters.<br />
It
would be bring along an old, worn pair of shoes. A knowledgeable
salesperson will be able to tell from the wear pattern what shoe will
best suit you.<br />
Most of all, take your time. Walk around in the
shoes and be sure they feel good. Remember, most shoes that are made
these days hold their original shape and do not expand that much with
wear. If they feel tight, don't count on them becoming less constricting
over time.<br />

<br />
Most people can agree that when a person is in school, school
needs to be their first priority. Sure there are friends, jobs, sports
and other distractions, but getting the best education you can while you
are still in school should probably be the highest goal.<br />
That
being said, there are ways to find a balance where a good student can
enjoy other things without them affecting their education. In fact,
having extracurricular activities may actually help some students with
their education and all-around health and growth.<br />
Being a good
student athlete is something many people can pull off and some can even
make it look easy. But it does require a lot of discipline to both
academics and athletics. Here are some tips on how to be a good student
athlete while (hopefully) enjoying both your schoolwork and your sport.<br />
Like
mentioned before, prioritization will help keep a good balance between
schoolwork and sports. Go to practice when it is scheduled, but then go
home right afterwards to you can get your homework done and get to bed
at a decent hour so you can still get your all-important sleep.<br />
Make
sure that even though you have organized practices and training
associated with your sport, you can also practice and train on your own
to make the most out of your athletic season.<br />
Eating healthy not
only fuels your body, but it also fuels your mind. Make sure you are
getting a good start to the day with a breakfast that contains food from
all the food groups so you have the right balance of vitamins. Instead
of junk food snacks plan to eat fruits and vegetables to keep your body
energized without the sugar rush.<br />
Getting plenty of sleep as a
student athlete means getting between seven and ten hours each night.
Because both your body and your mind are being used so heavily as a
student athlete, you need plenty of physical and mental rest. Staying up
late or going out are still OK to do once in a while, but don't make a
habit of it.<br />
Drinking alcohol, smoking and any kind of drugs are
off the table. This really shouldn't have to be mentioned, but remember
to keep your commitment to your health and your sport and make smart
choices.
<br />
Work hard at both school and sport. Push yourself to do your best
both in the classroom and on the field (or whatever venue applies to
your sport). If you don't understand something don't be afraid to ask
questions. And always be ready to work hard; don't allow yourself any
excuses to blow off school or practice.<br />
Qualities that are learned
by student athletes will come in handy when you're looking to get into
the "real" world in life after school. Many student athletes are great
communicators, especially if they've had a background in team sports.
They also know how to receive and provide feedback since they've been
held accountable to not only their teammates for many years, but also
probably had a strong desire to prove themselves to their coach.<br />
This
means a student athlete is also a team-oriented person, which will most
likely serve them well in the professional world. Time management is
something a student athlete has been doing for many years, as they've
had to juggle school, homework, sports, friends, and sometimes jobs.<br />
Possibly
most important of all, a student athlete is achievement-oriented. This
is a person who not only feels the need to excel in their preferred
sport, but also wants to be a leader in the classroom. They want to win
their games and matches, but they also know it's important to keep their
grades up. They know what it takes to be successful, and they've been
doing it a long time. Their work ethic is superior and they can
multi-task to get things done.<br />
Student athletes are well-rounded,
responsible people; but they also work hard for everything they have,
from their grades to their sporting wins (and losses).</div>

<br />
Scientists have spent a good part of the decade trying to improve
solar-powered panels which are used in harvesting energy from the sun.
While modular panels are widely being used in houses and commercial
spaces, the idea of installing them on roadways is picking up steam
fast. But the latest idea to hit the streets (literally) is that of
paving the roads with solar panels made of ruggedized glass in place of
the usual asphalt.<br />
<b>Roads that Pay for Themselves</b><br />
As
far as solar technology news goes, while this plan seems a bit crazy
and unorthodox, it's the idea of Scott and Julie Brusaw who are
residents of Idaho. The husband and wife team developed their modular
pavement system back in 2009. Today the couple claims that solar panels
that will be used in their project can withstand a load of over 250,000
pounds (which happens to be four times the legal weight of a semi truck)
and can last for up to twenty years. The robust panels will also be
able to melt both snow and ice on contact along with providing warm
light via LED bulbs so that drivers can see debris along the road.<br />
The
solar panels are basically the same as those which are used in normal
solar panels which are used in houses. The solar panels are then encased
in specially designed version of bullet proof glass, which has been
developed and tested at the top materials and research institutes at
Penn State and University of Dayton. The base layers of the solar panels
which will be used in the project will be made of 10% recycled glass,
which from a manufacturing point of view is the most cost effective way
of churning up the material for this monumental undertaking.<br />
After
building and testing the prototype courtesy of funding from the FHA
(Federal Highway Administration) the couple plans to install their solar
panels throughout the U.S. which will be a pretty big project
considering the amount of highways and motorways that are in the U.S
already.<br />
<b>Co2 Reduction</b><br />
A grid of using
solar roads will not only help generate electricity for street lights
and quite possibly surrounding homes, but could also significantly
reduce the CO2 levels in the atmosphere by providing a means of clean
reusable energy. The long term aspiration of the couple is to replace
the power grid with a smart grid, which will not only help the
environment, but also the economy as well.<br />
<b>The Latest Update</b><br />
According to the latest in <a href="http://www.technogigs.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">solar technology news</a>
regarding Solar Roadways, the project is already the highest grossing
campaign in the history of IndieGogo, and while its run on the crowd
funding website still has a few days until it ends, the Solar Roadways
campaign has gone way passed its initial goal of one million dollars.
What made all this possible was the contributions that have been made by
more than thirty-five thousand people from over forty countries. Way to
go Scott and Julie!</div>

<br />
With the global economic scenario still unable to break the spell
of recession, there are several people across the globe finding it
profitable to buy a used car instead of investing a big amount of money
in the new model. However, the inventory of used cars is not brimming
with the best of models. Instead, most of the automobiles entering the
used car category are either damaged or worn out goods that can rarely
serve any purpose.<br />
So, for those of you who are planning to buy a new vehicle, here are a few tips that can help you make the right choice:<br />
Get the vehicle registration number<br />
When
you are planning to buy a pre-owned vehicle, start by procuring the
basic registration number. This vehicle registration number comes in
extremely handy when it comes to procuring details about the model and
the usage that it has been through. In fact, you can use the
registration number to get the complete history of the vehicle that you
are planning to buy. The process has to be done through a private
company and involves nominal charges. However, the end results make it
worth the effort.<br />
Strictly avoid buying flood damaged vehicles<br />
Water
is bad for the engine. Apart from causing the rusting of internal
components, the water tends to cause permanent damage by reducing the
longevity of the engine. Therefore, you should strictly avoid buying
pre-owned vehicles that come from flood affected zones or have a history
of being damaged by flooding.<br />
Get it checked by a mechanic<br />
Even
if you are a die-hard automobile fan, we recommend you to get the car
checked by an expert mechanic. Preferably, choose an experienced person
who has a reputation of performing a thorough inspection. This will
ensure that you get accurate results along with making it possible for
you to take the purchase decision. The professional check comes at an
extra price but it is totally worth the effort.<br />
Check the service records<br />
Wherever
possible, do a detailed check on the service records of the pre-owned
vehicle that you are considering. This will help you get a better idea
about the type of repairs and replacements that the car was subjected
to. Accordingly, you can analyze the present condition of the vehicle as
well as predict its ability to withstand the routine wear and tear to
quite an extent. In this way, you can solve your many problems.</div>

A large number of car buyers are opting to lease a vehicle than
to buy it. Their preference is primarily due to their lack of confidence
in the automobile market. Over the years, buyers have become more
informed, more aware and wiser; therefore, they make their purchase
decisions in high involvement items such as cars, very carefully.<br />
If
you're planning to lease a car for the first time, here are some things
that you need to consider to get a good lease deal and avoid financial
loss:<br />
<b>1. </b><b>Confirm your credit </b><br />
It
is essential to know your credit score as it is one of the key factors
in a lease. A good credit will get you a good deal at a better rate. It
is recommended to check your credit 4 to 6 weeks before you plan to head
out in the automobile market. Find out the types of credit scores you
need to know to be eligible for a lease. Your credit score will also
depend on the type of vehicle you choose for a lease.<br />
<b>2. </b><b>Check Your cash flow</b><br />
Leasing
is a great way to own a car over a period of time with reasonably low
monthly payments. When you want to lease a livery vehicle, it is
important to check your cash flow so you know where you stand in terms
of cash; you will need to make monthly payments for 2 to 3 years or
until the lease term is over. When the lease term is over, you can
either own the vehicle or give it back to the leasing company. It is
important to note that monthly payments for used cars is lower than that
for new or luxury cars.<br />
<b>3. </b><b>Negotiate the deal </b><br />
Most
buyers think that since they are not buying the car, they are not in a
position to negotiate the deal. However, it is completely acceptable to
negotiate the offer. Remember, the final point that you reach with the
negotiation will determine the amount of monthly payments you will have
to make throughout the lease term.<br />
<b>4. </b><b>Know the deal in detail</b><br />
Before
you make any final decisions, make sure you know all the necessary
details regarding the deal. Find out if there are any extra or hidden
payments other than the monthly payments and also whether the stated
monthly payments are inclusive of taxes or otherwise. Also, make sure
that your lease term is not more than 3.5 years. Any term near 5 years
is not worthwhile, it is as bad as paying for a car that is decades old.<br />
Make
sure you do a thorough research and ask around people in your circle
who have leased a livery vehicle before so you end up with a good deal
with low monthly payments.</div>

<br />
Most people who play the lottery have no idea how to use a
lottery system. Winners will tell you that lottery systems do work
because that's how they play their numbers. There's very little luck
involved.<br />
It takes some skill to put one together. Anyone can do
it, if they know how. Most lottery players pick random numbers making
the odds high. If you were to win the lottery on random numbers, it
would be luck, but it rarely happens. Winners handicap their numbers and
they play at certain times on certain days<br />
<b>Picking Numbers</b><br />
<ul>
<li>
Use the past 10 games of the lottery you want to play. Look at the
pattern for hot numbers (the most drawn) and the cold numbers (seldom
drawn or not at all). </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
Write down how many times each number has come up. Use the ones that
have hit the most and two cold numbers that have seldom come up. Only if
they came up close together. Never use cold numbers that haven't come
up in the past 10 draws. </li>
</ul>
<b>Random Numbers Or Sequence</b><br />
<ul>
<li>
Never use random numbers, such as birthdays, holidays or anniversaries.
Many people play these numbers, and if you were lucky enough to win on
these numbers, you'd split a prize with several other people. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
Never use numbers in sequence such as 34-35-36-37 or 5-7-9-11. Those seldom come up but it takes a lifetime. </li>
</ul>
<b>Patterns</b><br />
<ul>
<li>
People make patterns on their card thinking it's a good way to win such
as diagonal, across or down the card. The odds are against you playing
numbers this way. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
Never use quick pick ( computer-generated numbers) Every lottery winner will tell you they didn't win use quick pick. </li>
</ul>
<b>Stick With The Same Numbers</b><br />
<ul>
<li>
Some people will play the same numbers for a while and then change them.
About the time they do, their numbers come up. Once you've handicapped
your numbers and picked them, don't change them. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
Stick to a budget. If you can only play three cards, don't play more. If
you can only play once a week, don't play twice. Some people put their
system together spending $200 but can't play any more because they
exhausted their paycheck. Only play what you can afford, but play
consistently.</li>
</ul>
<b>Wheeling Numbers</b><br />
<ul>
<li>
Don't make a mistake when wheeling your numbers. If you do, the system
won't work. You've got to be precise and play the numbers you've chosen
which is your wheel. There are free wheeling systems online. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
Don't use a wheeling system that covers many numbers. Only use one when
other players are involved. Make sure it's one you can play
consistently. </li>
</ul>
Lottery systems really work once you follow the steps
above. Play smart and consistent and the system will work for you. It
probably won't happen overnight, but with patience and a positive mind,
it will work.</div>

<br />
Gaming is an attractive and exciting pastime for children, but it
is harmful to children since it poses dangers of addiction, low
academic performance and lifestyle disease. Contemporary society is
replete with multifarious activities that children can engage in during
leisure. To parents, gaming is important because it preoccupies the
minds of children, and keeps them away from trouble. It is common,
therefore, for parents to buy various types of games for their children
to play. In fact, other toys are losing relevance, as young children
embrace more exciting activities. However, it is crucial for parents to
critically analyze and review the significance of these games in the
lives of their children, vis-à-vis other recreational activities like
sports.<br />
To begin with, video games and other types of games played
by children are addictive and harmful to children. Young people can
become so dependent that they cannot resist the allure of games. The
problem with addiction is that it dominates the mind and negates other
useful activities. Children addicted to gaming lose interest in personal
responsibilities like hygiene. They are also less willing to help their
parents with household chores, owing to the compulsive behavior.
Eventually, they become robot-like, with their minds being preoccupied
by the games they are attracted to.<br />
Closely related to addiction
is poor academic performance - another harmful effect of gaming. This
activity takes away the time the child should spend in study. Many
children prefer to play instead of doing their homework. Some even hide
favorite games, and play while in bed. It is also common to find games
in children's bags in school. In addition, such children lose focus
during lessons as they think about their favorite games. They cannot
wait for the day to end, for them to rush elsewhere and continue with
the activity. In the midst of all this, the child's performance suffers.<br />
Finally,
since children play games indoors, they remain in a sedentary state
most of the time, thus becoming vulnerable to lifestyle complications
like obesity and diabetes. The body lacks exercise, compared to a child
involved in physical sports outside the house. Moreover, such children
tend to eat a lot of junk food, thus aggravating illnesses such as
hypertension. Lack of clean air inside the house and the neglect of
fresh foods such as fruits and vegetables, also contribute to the
lateral expansion of the body. In essence, gaming is exciting, but its
harmful effects far outweigh its benefits to children.</div>

<div id="article-content">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw-vytTSMfvQJ6A1KsL3fyC45mevMzTY5mHxOPgyval0H4eXcxhjj5vZGX_LM8MaLZuUoHTogWPhzH4LN-NkcQRT7Sxngn1SkxTFIEGebwuJMRwMEXOb4lu2C20VA1ZehfIDl1-VpM-FI/s1600/elder-scrolls-online.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw-vytTSMfvQJ6A1KsL3fyC45mevMzTY5mHxOPgyval0H4eXcxhjj5vZGX_LM8MaLZuUoHTogWPhzH4LN-NkcQRT7Sxngn1SkxTFIEGebwuJMRwMEXOb4lu2C20VA1ZehfIDl1-VpM-FI/s1600/elder-scrolls-online.jpg" height="180" width="320" /></a></div>
Elder scrolls online is one of the best games that you can play.
For you to survive in the game you need to know a number of survival
tactics. Some of the survival tactics that you need to know are:<br />
<br />
<i><b>Learn how to fight</b></i><br />
<br />
You
can't survive elder scrolls online (ESO) if you don't know how to
fight. The best way of doing this is choosing a character with good
fighting skills. This means that you should use a character with good
blocking, dodging and interrupting skills.<br />
The other thing that
you need to know is how to operate your characters. The good side is
that knowing how to operate your characters is easy.<br />
For example,
when you see your enemy winding-up for a killer blow you only need to
double-tap a movement in order to dodge the blow. You can also
right-click in order to take the sting out of the incoming attack then
left-click to interrupt the next attack.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Keep questing</b></i><br />
<br />
For
you to level fast you need to quest. Quests tend to dish out more
points and you are able to survive in the game. This means that if you
want to survive you need to take as many quests as you can. The good
side is that there are many tutorials that will teach you on how to
quest effectively and within a very short time.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Enchant your weapons and morph your abilities</b></i><br />
<br />
Once
you are experienced in a given skill, you can morph your skill so that
you can become more powerful and useful. You should note that although
morphing is very good and plays a huge role in making you better, it
costs you a skill point that you could have used to gain a whole new
spell or ability.<br />
In addition to morphing your skills, you should
also consider enchanting your weapons. Using glyphs is the best way of
enchanting your weapons and armor. If you can't get ready made glyphs,
you should consider crafting your own glyphs. You can do this by
gathering and combining runes.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Get ultimate ability as soon as possible</b></i><br />
<br />
For
you to be able to easily defeat your enemies you need to get ultimate
abilities. To be on the safe side you should ensure that you gain the
ultimate abilities very early in the game. You can earn the abilities by
using unlocking spells and abilities that you meet in your journey.</div>

<br />
For the experienced gamers who have been playing Minecraft for
some time now, it is imperative that you have further control of the
whole gaming experience. In this case, you should get yourself a
Minecraft server. With a server at your disposal, you actually call the
shots in the game. Other advantages of investing in a Minecraft server
include being able to edit players, build back ups and carry out several
other things that contribute to the overall exciting game experience
both for you and fellow players.<br />
The view of investing in your own
Minecraft server might look as if it is costly and daunting. Don't be
worried though because there are myriad alternatives as far as servers
are concerned and majority of the alternatives are actually very
reasonably priced. Based on how large your network of gamers is, you
will be surprised to find out that a Minecraft server can very well be
absolutely cheap. Of course, there are endless benefits associated with
owning a Minecraft Server and there are no notable complications to stop
you from getting started.<br />
For do-it-yourself enthusiasts, the
thought of creating your own server rather than buying it might appear
interesting. Although such an idea is commendable, the truth of the
matter is that the process is complex and tiresome. Therefore, selecting
from a selection of Minecraft Hosting firms is the best option for
majority of players. This option is further reinforced if you're PC or
internet connectivity lacks the capacity to manage its own server.<br />
Additionally,
when you purchase your server from a reliable Minecraft hosting firm,
you are guaranteed plenty of user support to assist you takes full
advantage of your gaming experience. After all, would you not rather
utilize your precious time on an exciting adventure with your buddies
instead of tackling the technical difficulties on your own server?<br />
Creating
a Minecraft server is quite easy with the help of a competent Minecraft
host company. There are many server hosting companies out there that
specialize in Minecraft host services. Working with a competent
Minecraft hosting company will enable you take only a few minutes to
come up with a good built Control Panel that affords you absolute
control over your own server plus your gaming.<br />
Some of the
benefits of quality Minecraft host services include enabling you to
initiate your own server, reboot or manage users in the network with
just a few clicks. What's more, you will also benefit from faster and
easy access of your server from any location. In essence, you will have
absolute control to play Minecraft when you feel like and based on your
own demands.</div>

<br />
<br />
In this time of mundane games, repetitive gameplay and overly
exploited genres, it feels good to have some fresh air with some of the
old genres resurfacing once again. The credit, of course, goes to the
chivalrous indie developers who, still in this world of capitalist
gaming industry, light up our hearts with their spirit of creativity.
One such genre that is gaining momentum by leaps and bounds is the
'space simulation' genre. This time alone in E3 2014, there were a few
groundbreaking titles that truly inspired awe - quite an achievement
given the nature of mediocre games these days.<br />
Although it was a
delight for me to experience all the latest games that are going to hit
the market eventually, the one that truly turned my head and left me
speechless was 'No Man's Sky'. This game literally beggars all
description as no one has ever attempted to build or even conceive a
game of such scale. This is basically a procedurally generated massive
game, which may sound simple, but, as the saying goes, you got to see it
to believe. The mesmerizing vistas and the bizarre environment teeming
with unique flora and fauna on a seemingly alien planet are just the
beginning of the story. This vast exploration game takes you on the
journey to explore countless planets, and the best part is: you get to
have your own space ship to fly off into space and back into different
planets. How big is the size of the world you ask? Well, would it
impress you if I were to tell you that every single player will be
starting off on a different planet of his/her own? Can you now imagine
the scale of this game? Besides the expansive universe, the vibrant
visuals and dynamic environments are just sight of sore eyes.<br />
What
happens when you marry the genre of space simulation with first person
shooter? You get a game called 'Dreadnought'. This free-to-play action
space simulation game is just what the E3 had been missing all along. We
have all played fast paced action games where little thinking and more
reflexes are required. We have also seen previous space simulation games
where your little pea sized craft sometimes gets into a pathetic
situation with a gigantic mother-ship of some kind, and you die wishing
that only if you had one of those humongous ships at your command. To
fill this void in your little world of gaming, 'Dreadnought' fills right
in. This free-to-play massively online game puts you in a team battle
where you fight off against the enemy ships using skills and tactics
(not reflexes). Ever played 'World of Tanks'? If so, then you will know
exactly what I am talking about.<br />
These are just a few titles of
space simulation games that are going to leave a good long lasting mark
on this genre; however, a game that will not only revitalize the genre
to the backbone, but also revolutionize the gaming industry itself is
'Star Citizen'. Star Citizen is the largest crowd funded Kickstarter
project to date. With Chris Roberts, the chief developer of ever green
titles such as Freelancer and Starlancer, at the helms, Star Citizen is
on its way to becoming one of the largest PC exclusive game in the
industry. The reason why this game is PC exclusive is quite simple: the
consoles just cannot handle the demand of the graphics that are being
run on this game. Using modified Cry Engine 3, this game is set in an
open universe with tons of exploration to be done, battles to be fought
and places to be conquered.<br />
There are many other games from this
genre that are in development and very few in market such as EVE Online,
Kerbal Space Program, Elite: Dangerous and Limit Theory and it all just
goes to show the rebirth of the long lost genre. It is high time that
the developers put on their creative hats and the gamers open up their
mind to new stuff. Only then will genres like these truly flourish,
proliferate and prosper.</div>

<br />
If you are a Pokemon MMO game enthusiast, here are three games that you can enjoy for free:<br />
<br />
<i><b>Pokemon3D</b></i><br />
<br />
This
is a re-invention of the classic Pokemon gold and silver games created
by Nintendo. For you to be successful you need to be the best Pokemon
trainer of all times.<br />
When playing you have to go around the
grasslands and capture, battle, and defeat wild Pokemon. You also have
the benefit of going around town collecting items and Pokemon.<br />
The
good side is that the game is free and you can play against friends
from all parts of the world. In addition to this the game also has other
great features such as: resizable game window, many languages, daycare
system, great moves, and auto save option.<br />
<br />
<b><i>Pokemon volcano</i></b><br />
<br />
This
is another great pokemon MMO game that comes with a number of
advantages. One of the main advantages is that you don't have to
download anything. This is because the game runs in a browser window
thus you only need to register at the site and you can start playing
immediately.<br />
Unlike other games that require you to wait for the
screen to refresh before you can play, this game allows you to start
playing immediately without waiting for it to refresh.<br />
To play you
start with one starter Pokeman and you try capturing new Pokemon. You
also have the benefit of training so that you can win Gym medals. Once
you have won the medals you can try to defeat the gym leader.<br />
For you to be successful in this game you need to do a few things:<br />
• Get all the gym badges and then go in the grass or water for a while until you find manaphy.<br />
• First go to Renato then search for Pokemon near grain and you will fight a Diglet that has a very low life<br />
<br />
<i><b>Pokemon-area</b></i><br />
<br />
This
is a great game that has all the components that should be in a Pokemon
MMO game. The good side is that you don't have to download anything and
you can play against thousands of players around the world.<br />
Playing
it is easy because you play it just like any other Pokemon game. This
means if you have played any other Pokemon game before, you will find it
very easy to play this one.<br />
Due to its ease of play, the game has attracted a lot of people thus you will have very many people to play against.</div>

<br />
Soccer is a craze among people of all ages in many societies.
Onset of FIFA world cup fires the excitement of soccer fans throughout
the world. Where hundreds of lucky ones manage to reach the host country
for cherishing the game live, thousands of others satiate their passion
by throwing soccer parties, organizing massive screenings, buying
sports gear and decorating their premises with soccer banners.<br />
Banners
in general are widely used in adding color and charm to many occasions.
Mega sports events are no exception. Sport banners are widely used for
adorning screening sights and sports parties. When most soccer matches
have an electric atmosphere with crazy fans chanting in favor of their
respective teams, everyone wants to show loyalty and support whilst
being counted. Though many fans get hostile and violent in display of
their passion, you can express your support and allegiance to your
favorite teams and players in a civilized manner through art banners.<br />
FIFA
world cup is one of the most passionately followed international
events. Many soccer fans spend their savings to enjoy the tournament
live. Imagine the pleasure of flaunting your FIFA sports pennant sitting
among the keen audiences in the stadium. It is evident that players
derive a lot of inspiration and strength from their supporters in the
crowds. This is why fans often use to design banners and pennants to
boost the morale of the team they support. If you are lucky enough to
avail such a chance, make sure to get your well designed soccer banners,
besides other preparatory measures.<br />
Sports banners, pennants and
burgees can enhance the pleasure of a game many folds even if you are
not sitting in the stadium. Many a times, friends, families and
colleagues gather together to watch the matches during world cup
tournament. Such gatherings can equally use sports banners to give an
air of festivity to the event. If you are attending a soccer party in
the midst of the tournament, it is the most apt event to use all your
sports gear and hoist soccer banners and pennants.<br />
Local and
regional soccer teams and associations also get energized during FIFA
world cup. Many players playing in the local teams dream of playing the
FIFA world cup one day. Several school and college soccer teams schedule
their matches around FIFA world cup. Grad school teams also print
banners to brighten their inter school soccer matches. If you are a
member or supporter of any such team, make sure to make an impression
with well designed and printed sports banners.<br />
Besides crazy
soccer fans, many businesses can also benefit by printing sports
banners. For instance, if you deal in sports fan gear, you have to make a
maximum business during soccer season. You can print large eye catchy
fan gear sports banners to entice soccer fans into buying T-shirts,
helmets, badges and other sports gear with FIFA insignia printed on
them.<br />
Soccer banners can be designed in different sizes and
colors. The sizes of banners are mostly decided depending upon the
location. Backdrop banners are generally large and are designed in
bright colors to enhance the visibility. Most fans, however, prefer to
print their banners in their team colors. Team's insignia along with
FIFA's insignia are also printed on soccer banners. Sports banners can
be generic so that they can be used over and over again. On the other
hand, more enthusiastic fans design more personalized banners that
feature names and photos of their favorite players besides dates,
slogans and personalized quotes. More personalized banners often grab
more attention than generic ones, but they cannot be repeatedly used.<br />
Sports
banners are cheap and easy to print. They can be printed on either
vinyl stock or fabric material - both of which are fairly inexpensive.
With the increasing popularity of soccer, many companies are offering
online services for custom designed <a href="http://www.printinghost.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">sport banner printing</a>.
You can design your soccer banners down to the small details yourself
and seek the services of any reliable printing company that can give the
best treatment to your designs. Refined printing and finishing
techniques can make your banners worth noticing.</div>

<br />
<b>Successful Planning </b><br />
<br />
What makes an event
successful? Successful events are characterized by consummate planning
and coordination, and they are organized to the very core Organization,
essentially, is the hallmark of spectacular event planning. Event
planners are tasked with a substantial responsibility, in terms of the
vast considerations that they must make in the process. Not only must
they consider the number of guests to attend, but they must also select a
venue, commodities, facilities and much more. There is much more that
goes into event planning than merely counting the number of guests to
attend, or the number of seats to order in preparation for it. Every
good event requires the right amenities in the right quantities in order
to thrive. Based on this information, every adept event planner must
possess the capacity to multitask and to maintain an apt understanding
of what goes into the entire event planning process. Planning an event
implies a systematic coordination of many different things.<br />
What
considerations are first made by an event planner? First, they select
the most appropriate venue for the event. Events can transpire in either
indoor settings or outdoor settings. Therefore, the type of setting you
choose will impact the type of amenities that you rent out, as well.
Furthermore, every venue is distinguished by its size, characteristics,
construction and much more. Venues also differ according to their cost,
and there are a range of different costs accompanying venues. The prices
hinges on the size of the setting, the amenities that are already built
into the venue, and the relative location of it. The more pleasant the
location is, the more that the venue will cost in the long run.<br />
How
do you know if an indoor or outdoor venue is appropriate for you? If
you are throwing a very large event, then perhaps an outdoor setting
would be best. However, if you are throwing a small, sophisticated
event, then perhaps an indoor setting would better suit you?<br />
<br />
<b>The Perfect Setting </b><br />
<br />
After
choosing the perfect venue to suit your event, the next viable step
will be to measure the dimensions so that you can accommodate all of the
guests that will show up to it. In essence, the size of the venue that
you choose will depend not only on the type of event that you are
running, but by the type of audience you will have and by the size of
the audience, as well. Of course, you must select quality amenities,
such as luxury bathrooms. Do not resort to the typical, unsightly-port a
potties that most people dread at large events. By renting out <a href="http://www.luxuryrestroomrentals.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">luxury restrooms</a>,
not only can you grant your guests the comfort that they desire, but
you will give them the accessibility that they need in order to feel at
home at the event. The more at home they feel at an event, the longer
that they will stay and the more they will fund the event.<br />
<br />
<b>Concluding Thoughts </b><br />
<br />
Planning
an event requires a complex integration of many different factors and
skills. Additionally, every event planner must conduct critical research
in order to purchase the right amenities in the right quantities,
according to the type of audience they will have.</div>

<br />
Bicycle Sound Systems (BSS) are growing in popularity. Anyone who
has gone to a festival, seen or participated in a Critical Mass ride or
watched the Skyride events in the UK will have seen a BSS in operation.
The following is a description of what I have learnt over the years in
the art of building a sound system attached to a bicycle.<br />
Please
note that all this is just my opinion; there are no rules. If it works
and you or someone else is happy with the result then that is great.
Duke Ellington once said, "There are two types of music, good and bad.
If you like it, it's good music."<br />
The first consideration before
building a bicycle sound system is to ask yourself exactly what is it
for? Now this may sound like a stupid question but consider:<br />
<ol>
<li>Is the music for your own enjoyment, other cyclists riding with you, or members of the public watching?</li>
<li>Will you be riding the bike whilst the music is playing? (probably answered in the first question)</li>
<li>Would you like to play just your own music or have facilities, i.e. mixing desk, microphones, to make the system more flexible?</li>
<li>Would you wish to hire out the system at festivals and other events?</li>
<li>Where would the system be stored when not in use?</li>
<li>How would you get the system to the events?</li>
</ol>
Hopefully you can see the reason for asking these
questions first. Once you know what the BSS is for, there are now a few
more questions.<br />
<ol>
<li>What is the budget?</li>
<li>How loud is the system to be?</li>
<li>Will you want to operate it in the rain?</li>
<li>Is it to be self-powered?</li>
<li>Would you want to use a trailer?</li>
</ol>
I am going to presume that the BSS is designed to have
the music playing whilst being ridden. I have seen 'static' systems but I
feel the whole idea of a BSS is that we have mobile music.<br />
A top of the range BSS could run into thousands of pounds, especially if everything needed was bought new.<br />
The
volume of the system is probably the key to everything. The amount of
power needed outside is far, far more than is needed inside; most of the
sound from speakers inside a building is actually reflected sound. Take
the walls away and the volume drops massively.<br />
There has to be a
balance between what is audible, the fidelity of the reproduction, what
can be afforded, and what is practical. A super loud system can not only
annoy the neighbourhood and attract the police but it becomes really
heavy and is impossible to move. Remember there is not just the weight
of the speakers, there are also batteries and amplifiers that have to be
carried.<br />
Again, how loud depends on the use, if it is just
yourself and a cyclist next to you, 50 - 100 watts could be enough. In
my opinion, 100 watts would be the absolute minimum. If you want many
people to hear you and you want a proper bass response, the wattage must
increase. I believe 600 watts is somewhere around the maximum, for both
volume and weight.<br />
Critically the amplifier must not be
overdriven. This usually happens when the output of the amplifier is not
enough for the situation. Everything is turned to max to compensate and
there is distortion. We have all heard it, in cars, clueless DJ's, PA
systems... The crazy thing is that turning it down just a bit will
reduce the volume very slightly but everything can now be heard properly
without distortion.<br />
The question of waterproofing has to be
considered from the outset. Placing plastic bags or sheeting over
speakers, amps and players does not work; not only does it look
terrible, water WILL get in. Another issue is at what point do the
covers go on? In case it looks like rain or when it starts raining? The
latter means carrying covers to hopefully quickly throw over the system
(whilst it is running!) in the hope that nothing gets damaged. Although
there are waterproof players out there, the connections are not
waterproof. Waterproof speakers do not sound that good, they are small
and low powered. I have never seen a waterproof amplifier.<br />
Self
-powered or not? This will come down to the volume of the system. An
average cyclist can develop 100-200 watts for an hour. Moving the bike
and sound system is going to use a certain amount of that power. There
are losses involved in converting that power to usable electricity.
Taking these factors into account, never mind the engineering problems
in generating the electricity, we do not have much left for powering the
amplifier. It can and has been done, the systems are not that loud and,
in my opinion, are not that good.<br />
Whether or not to use a trailer
is again down to what the BSS is for. We have all seen the
ghetto-blaster strapped to the side of a bicycle. It works but the sound
is not too good and cannot be heard from more than a few metres away.<br />
The
main problem with getting a decent sound without a trailer is one of
weight. That is why all the good sound systems I have seen use a
trailer.<br />
If it is decided that batteries will power the system, we
then consider the amplifier. Although the best amplifiers, in terms of
fidelity are the domestic, Hi-Fi amps, they run on mains, 110v or 240v
AC. This means the battery voltage, most likely 12v DC, must be
converted.<br />
This causes all sorts of problems. The worst is that
cheaper converters, or inverters, convert the DC into a square wave AC,
this makes an amplifier hum. The other problem is the idea of having
high voltages running around the system.<br />
Even if these
considerations were overcome, the next, probably terminal issue is that a
domestic or PA amplifier would probably fall apart in a short time due
to the battering bicycle sound systems get. And they do get a battering;
cobbles, pot holes, kerbs, speed humps, all give these rigs a hard
life.<br />
These reasons are why every BSS I have seen use 12v
automotive amplifiers; they are relatively cheap, easy to bolt down and
provided a reputable make is used, are very reliable.<br />
The fidelity
of an amplifier on a BSS is not that critical. What is discernable
inside a quiet living room will be lost outside. As long as there is no
distortion, the most critical component of a bicycle sound system is the
speaker(s)<br />
The most important consideration when building any
music system, whether a domestic Hi-Fi, car audio system, or public
address (PA) is the choice of speakers. Over half your budget should go
on the speakers. If top quality speakers are used, you can get away, to a
certain extent, with cheaper amplifiers. Do it the other way round and
there will always be a poor sound.<br />
Speakers are difficult to get
right. The different drivers, e.g. woofer, tweeter, must be matched with
each other and they also must be matched with the correct crossover
(the device that splits the signal into high and low frequencies). Not
only that, the cabinet, or enclosure must also be matched to the drivers
and the crossover.<br />
A sound engineer told me that he once worked
for a top speaker manufacturer in the UK. His first project was to
discover why their latest speaker did not work as well as their previous
model. In theory it should have sounded better but mysteriously sounded
worse. After a week of messing about he discovered that the screws
holding the rear cover on were slightly shorter in the new speaker.
Changing the screws for the longer ones magically brought the speaker to
life.<br />
It is that story alone that makes the idea of building a
speaker from DIY plans very much hit or miss. Yes, the speaker will work
but will it sound fantastic, just OK or dreadful? The only advantage of
building a speaker cabinet is that it could be made to fit a trailer,
or be an integral part of the trailer.<br />
The choice of speakers is massive. Generally, speakers can be divided into three types, Hi-Fi, car audio and PA.<br />
Car
speakers can be a popular choice for BSS as they are cheap. The biggest
problem with them is that they have to be fitted into a cabinet. Often
seen is the 'sub' bass, a 15" speaker already fitted into a cabinet. The
problem is that a 'sub' bass is just that, subsonic, or very low
frequencies only. Great for certain types of music and a cinema surround
sound system but not good enough on its own for a sound system. There
will be a need for proper bass drivers as well as a sub. Generally a sub
is not needed, not only does it require huge amounts of power to drive
it, most music sounds good without one.<br />
Hi-Fi speakers can and are used. The disadvantages with them are:<br />
<ol>
<li>To mount them properly they must either be strapped or screwed down.
Screwing them means introducing screws into the cabinet, the cabinets
are not designed for this and the material can be weakened. Also see
above for the effect of the 'wrong' screws.</li>
<li>They are meant to be used in static situations. The electronic
crossovers in them are not rugged enough for mobile use and can fail.</li>
<li>They are vunerable to damage.</li>
<li>The connections are unreliable for a mobile application.</li>
</ol>
I believe the best speaker for a BSS are professional PA speakers for the following reasons:<br />
<ol>
<li>They are very robust, built for a life on the road. The cabinets are
usually made from tough ABS plastic and the speakers have protective
grills over them.</li>
<li>They often have handles built into them which makes assembling and transporting the system easier.</li>
<li>The crossovers are built in and are made for rough use and to handle high power.</li>
<li>They have professional <a href="http://www.neutrik.com/en/speakon/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Speakon</a> connectors, these are very quick to connect and cannot work loose.</li>
<li>A speaker from a quality manufacturer will have designed the drivers to work well together at high wattages reliably</li>
<li>The cabinets usually have threaded inserts making it easy to fix
them to a trailer. (remember the story about the wrong screws; start
screwing into a domestic Hi-Fi speaker at your peril. That is why
speaker wall brackets just clamp onto the speaker).</li>
</ol>
Another aspect of speaker choice comes back to the
intended use. Stereo or mono? Stereo only works when the speakers are in
the correct position in front of the listener. This is not going to
happen with a BSS. Another consideration is placement. Front, side or
rear facing?<br />
An advantage of a mono sound is that the amplifier
can be bridged. Most car amplifiers can be bridged. Bridging an
amplifier has the effect of increasing the output of the amplifier. When
bridging an amplifier into two speaker cabinets, extreme care must be
taken to ensure the impedance of the combined speakers does not go below
the minimum rated impedance of the amplifier otherwise a sorry mess of
blue smoke will ensue.<br />
Having carefully chosen the amplifier and speakers. The question of getting it all to fit together must be considered.<br />
There
is the choice of trailer and battery. The trailer often comes down to
budget and availability. Just make sure it is strong enough to support
the combined weight of everything.<br />
Do not use 12v car batteries.
They are designed to give a large current in a short burst to operate
the starter motor. They are not designed to go flat - a flat battery is
anything less than about 12.5 volts. Once they have gone flat they will
never recover. Each re-charge will result in a lower and lower final
voltage until the battery will fail.<br />
The cheapest form of usable
battery is the lead acid 'leisure battery'. These are designed for
caravans and wind charger and photo-voltaic systems; they can be
re-cycled (recharged) many times before failure.<br />
Always use a fuse after the battery!<br />
Use
proper crimped connectors, battery terminals etc. Try to avoid jamming
wire under bolts. The vast majority of failures in all electrical
systems are loose or bad connections.<br />
Try to use locking compound on screws and other fittings.<br />
Large
output amplifiers that are bridged running in an enclosed space can be
prone to overheating. A good amplifier will have an automatic shut-down
if this happens. Overheating can be easily avoided by using computer
cooling fans blowing across the amplifier. Stick-on heat sinks can help.
Computer fans operate at 12v and can be found very cheaply on eBay.<br />
Put
all the electrics into an enclosure that is waterproof. Have an air
inlet at the bottom to let cool air in and an outlet at the top for the
warm air to escape.<br />
The speakers can be protected by a cover over
the top and some sort of material (printed fabrics are cheap and look
good) across the front of them. As long as the material is a few inches
from the front of the speakers they will remain dry.<br />
The music
player for simplicity and water protection can be mounted near the
amplifier. The obvious disadvantage is that it cannot be controlled from
the bike. One solution is to mount it in a small box on the handle
bars. We have found the best way is to use a plastic lidded box turned
upside down with the box attached to the lid with a hinge. As long as
the player is mounted above the base (lid) it will remain dry. Obviously
if it is raining hard try to avoid opening the box!<br />
Finally,
appearance. Briefly, if the system is just to please you and your
friends probably the last thing to worry about is its appearance. After
all, there is something to be said about the aesthetics of a functional
device. However, if you want to hire the system out or use it on
paid-for events, the appearance can be a more important consideration
than its performance.<br />
So there you have it. I hope you have found this interesting and informative.<br />

<br />
If you are a media room enthusiast, here are some great ideas that you can go with:<br />
<br />
<i><b>1. Having a sports themed room</b></i><br />
If
you love sports, you can design your room to have a sports theme. Here
you should ensure that the television is the focal point of your room.<br />
Instead
of using small pieces of sports décor, you should consider using carpet
tiles. For ideal results you should place the tiles around your
electronics. The tiles create a big design impact around the television
thus make the room look very elegant.<br />
In addition to giving your room an elegant look, the carpet tiles also provide additional insulation from the adjoining rooms.<br />
<br />
<b><i>2. Creating a relaxed media room</i></b><br />
When
it comes to a relaxed media room, the television does not have to be
the center of attention. The best way of going about it is using
creative installation techniques that easily blend your electronics into
the room.<br />
For example, you can install a flat screen television
above a fireplace mantle and install a custom frame around the perimeter
of the television. When you do this you create an attractive and less
obtrusive look.<br />
If you are not using the television, you should consider hiding it. The best way of hiding it is using a wood armoire.<br />
For
a more rustic and artistic statement, you should consider mounting your
flat screen on a large art easel. You can also place your TV inside a
hutch.<br />
<br />
<b><i>3. A high tech family room</i></b><br />
If
you want your room to look elegant and modern you should install
multiple televisions in the room. For ideal results you should place one
large flat screen TV at the center of the wall and then line three
small TVs on one or both sides of the TV.<br />
You can also install wood panels behind the TV and you will be able to create a contrast and styled finish.<br />
To hide unsightly wiring that can give your room an unpleasant look, you should use a nice wall covering.<br />
These
are some of the best media room ideas that you can go with. If you are
unsure of how to create your ideal theme, you should consider hiring the
services of professionals.<br />
The good side is that there are many
professionals who can help you in creating a perfect look. To find the
best company you only need to visit online review sites. You can also
ask your friends to refer you to some of the best companies that they
know of.</div>

Smoothies are the ultimate get up and go food. Packed with fresh
ingredients, the smoothie can be a powerful pick-me-up that gets you
through the day. A smoothie is so simple to prepare and quick to drink,
that it's the perfect snack - or even meal - for those too busy to turn
on the stove or make a sandwich.<br />
Although there are examples of
smoothies the world over, such as the Middle East and India - for
example the shabat and the Indian lassi, are both made with yogurt,
honey and fruit - in the United States the smoothie became popular
during the 1960s, when they were sold in health food stores as part of a
resurgence in macrobiotics and vegetarianism. The early smoothies were
made from fruit, fruit juice and ice, and pulverized in a blender.<br />
Today,
with the interest in nutrition and fitness combined with our busy
lifestyles, the smoothie is incredibly popular. There are so many flavor
combinations that you could easily enjoy a different flavor every day.
But with ease and convenience, often comes a little indulgence too, and
sometimes it can be too easy to add a scoop of ice cream, a spoon of
peanut butter or full fat yogurt, for that smooth and creamy taste.<br />
When
you make smoothies at home it pays to keep on the right side of
nutrition. The best way to make smoothies is with all natural fresh
fruits, berries, nuts and vegetables. If you want creaminess, avoid full
fat options. If you want sweetness, add honey, carrot or apple. Try
using low-fat coconut milk for richness, and spices such as cinnamon or
nutmeg for added depth.<br />
The basis of most smoothies is the humble
banana. Store them, pre-peeled in the freezer, to give your smoothie an
extra icy blast. Bananas give smoothies a creaminess that is hard to
beat, and they make a great base for a whole range of flavors.<br />
Another
often-used ingredient is yogurt. To keep your smoothie healthy, make
sure you stick to using fat-free plain yogurt, without added sugars.
Plain Greek yogurt is a terrific option, and then you can add your own
sweetness, such as honey, maple syrup, or apple.<br />
One smoothie that
packs a protein punch is the green smoothie, made with powdered
spirulina, banana, and apple juice. This vivid looking drink might look
like a witches' brew, but can power you for the entire afternoon. Other
dark leafy greens, such as fresh spinach, kale, chard and collard pack
an equally mighty health punch. Try blending them with fresh nuts and
coconut milk for a terrific snack any time of the day.<br />
Another
favourite flavor is ginger. A peeled knob of fresh ginger goes
wonderfully well with carrot and orange and lends a wonderful spicy
warmth to your smoothie.<br />
Next time you head to the market, make
sure you pick up a range of fresh fruits and vegetables that will
inspire you to create an endless variety of healthy and delicious
smoothies.</div>
