Turtle Beach Ear Force X11 First Look: Unboxing & Review

*IN DEPTH WRITTEN REVIEW IS HERE: www.mlgpro.com So here is an exclusive first look at the brand new headset from Turtle Beach, the X11. A few bullet points to go over the headset. -For those worrying about comfort, this headset is very comfortable. The earpads have a large oval shape, and go in quite deep. I find these more comfortable than HPX's and the X31's/X41's -The sound quality was surprisingly decent from what I was expecting. Footsteps in MW2 were clear, but still, the sound stage/3d positioning of the X11 won't match higher end headsets like the HPX. -This headset has numerous features and they work out quite well. The mic monitoring feature worked out nicely. It is at a level that you don't notice anything going into the mic until you actually speak. Sort of like it's noise canceling. The game and chat volume control also work easily and effective as a solution to balancing those 2 sounds. The microphone itself is very flexible and is heard loud and clear on xbox live. -One of the things to note is that because of the USB power, this headset is a pain to make usable at MLG events if you are in the Amateur bracket. Also makes listening to music very restricting. I didn't even bother listening to music on this honestly. This is strictly a gaming headset. What's also bad about the USB and the amplification is the background noise. It isn't noticeable in game, but if you're in the xbox dashboard you can distinctly hear background noise. When hooked up to a clean ...

Stardust Line goes Global


Image : http://www.flickr.com


The Sunday night Stardust Line has been a staple for Las Vegas bettors for a quarter of a century as sports gamblers were able to hear experts rehash the weekend college and pro games.

The 'Dust earlier this summer pulled the plug on the popular show in anticipation of the resort's implosion later this year.

Leroy's, which operates more than 60 race and sports books throughout Nevada and quickly has become one the industry's major players, is taking up the slack.

Announcement was made this week that a new show, hosted by longtime Las Vegas broadcaster John Kelly and handicapper Dave Cokin, will air for two hours on Sunday night.

The program also will have a third seat to be filled by rotating guests from within the industry.

The Stardust Line was heard on KDWN-720, Las Vegas' largest AM radio station, which has been sold to new owners who plan to deemphasize sports.

Details still are being ironed out, but the Leroy's show likely will air on the same station, KENO-AM 1460, that carries its daily one-hour program.

Jimmy Vacarro, the former Las Vegas bookmaker who co-hosts the daily show with Kelly, noted the Leroy's Sunday night program, which will begin Aug. 20, will have phone lines open as well a computer for those who want to e-mail questions and comments.

The new show is working on global acessibility via the Internet.

"This isn't 1980," Vaccaro said.

"Today you have to plug into the world."

Test Video Games For Free


Image : http://www.flickr.com


Skill Games

The best gambling opportunities exist in skill games rather than in games of
chance. Even though skill games bring more stress to those players who play them than to
the thrill seekers looking for games of chance, the players who possess skills and discipline often win consistently year in and year out.

Xbox Games

Buyers in this stage reveal their preferences, so more specific keywords (for example, "Video
Games Xbox 360") are needed to cover all possible search terms. Many teens and parents
of teenagers wonder which Xbox games they should purchase.

Video Games

Video games get the adrenaline pumping, which leads to a self-induced physical and mental
addiction. Well eventually video games, entertainment and having fun are important, but
other things become more important. The Video Games Xbox services some of the most
popular and sought after games ever.

Design Games

There are games designed for pre-teen girls, violent teenagers, sports lovers, history
aficionados, anybody you name, and there is probably a game that was designed with them as
demographic. Here is your guide: When programmers design games specifically for the
PSP, they are sometimes referred to as Homebrew Games.

Computer Games

It seems evident, that computer games one day will soon reach a point, where they become
close to virtual reality. Nowadays, some of the most popular are computer games, or
sometimes called pc games, online games, consoles games, handheld games, and even believe it or
not, mobile phone games.

Online Games

Playing online games that requires high-speed internet is now possible with the DSL
internet. Although there are many online games that encourage violence, other games help
children and adults improve their memory and increase their intelligence.

Power Games

Closing is not a technique; closing is not a trick; closing is not about magic phrases and looks
and power games. When a games power rating pointspread is figured, the oddsmaker will
make changes to that line after considering each teams most recent games and previous games played against the opponent.

Play Games While we now know, too, that when you play games (of any mode and of certain types), those games help to sharpen some of our mental faculties, Alzheimers, and, in my coo-coo world, the insanity of such needful mental aberrations as ADD, ADHD, and OCDthough this last benefit is not necessarily empirically proven.

Mario And Luigi Are Now Online


Image : http://www.flickr.com


Mario and Luigi are one of the best games ever invented back in the eighties and it's still a great game to this day. It use to be that you can only find these two adventurous brothers on Nintendo systems, but today you can find Mario and Luigi online games all over the internet. It's great that you can play the same game that first developed back in the eighties. Don't get me wrong the new games are fun, but nothing compares to the first game.

I use to play Mario and Luigi all of the time with my brother when we were younger. And about six months ago I was searching for a game online and came across Mario and Luigi online. I felt like a little kid again, and my three kids and me played this game for hours. They were so excited to find a game that I had when I was little. It was exactly the same as the traditional video games. I truly felt like I was a kid again myself, which is always a great feeling.

Mario and Luigi online games are great to play on the computer. The graphics are much better then they were but it's still the same game that it always was. The reason is that they recreated it and the graphic cards that computers have now only make every little detail much more visible.

Online games have nearly every game that you can possibly imagine. Besides just Mario and Luigi. You can find Tetris, which is another one of my personal favorites. Some of the other games that you can expect to find will be Pac Man, and Streetfighter, and hundreds of others to choose from. There are literally hours of fun that you will have playing the games. You can even find some of the classic arcade games that you played in the arcade when you were a child as well.

If you want to find Mario and Luigi online games then all you have to do is perform a quick search on one of the major search engines such as google or yahoo, and you will have no problem finding a ton of different websites that have it. It really is that simple. And you will soon be having the time of your life especially if you were playing this game when you were a kid back in the eighties.

Splinter Cell Speed Run Part 3 - Defense Ministry

This is a speed run for Splinter Cell. This is the PC version. I did not do this speed run. I got it from www.speeddemosarchive.com. I got it for all those Splinter Cell fans out there, and non-fans alike. So please don't accuse me of copyright infringement, or plagurism. Enjoy. Best time on PC version: Hard mode 1:35:00 by Jeff 'Lord Revan' Richardson on 16.09.05. Author's comments: This is my third speed run. I did two Kotor speed runs and felt like moving on to something different. Splinter Cell is a game that I absolutely love. I got it free with my video card and loved it ever since. This is a straight speed run. I don't try to avoid alarms, except where necessary. I looked at the run for the playstation that was up, but I found that there was little I could learn form it. The levels are quite different and he did a no alarm run. Level One: Training. This is an annoying level that is presents little speed running opportunities. The only real trick is jumping off the platform. The rest is just memorizing what you can get away with. Level Two: Police Station. Pretty easy level. Hardest part is the two guards talking to the drunk. I got really lucking with the shooting. Most of my kills were with one shot. Worst part was hooting that damn camera. It took me fice shots to do it. I can't believe I missed the guy at the computer. That never happened before, but it led to a more exciting finish with me having to kill the two guys in the next room. Level Three: Defense ...

Computer Games Lagging? What to Do to Speed Up Games That Lag


Image : http://www.flickr.com


Computer games are extremely popular, but having a game that lags is not only annoying but can cost you many hours of playing time. Games are great but only when they run as smoothly as possible, which makes it vital you're able to get your games running without any lag. Here's how...

In the gaming world, "lag" is characterized by having the screen jolting and the action of the game being disrupted by your computer having to take longer to process the various actions that the game has. Lag comes in two forms - the first is "Internet lag" and the second is "graphics lag".

Internet lag is when you play a game online and it does not run very fast. This is nothing to do with your computer, but is all down to the speed at which your game is receiving data from the Internet. If your Internet connection is slow, it will take longer to get the information for the game from the server and will consequently jolt as it updates slowly. This is only fixed by making your Internet connection faster.

The other type of lag is "graphics lag" where the game will become extremely difficult to play even in single-player mode. This is caused by your computer taking longer to process the actions & graphics that the game needs to run, which makes it appear to run slow. It's like having a car that stalls, making the game appear to run slow and lag.

To fix this problem, you need to fix the problems that cause the lag in the first place. And most of the time, a game runs slowly because it is unable to process the settings that it needs to run. Every game now has 1,000's of settings that it needs to read each time you play it, and it's often the case that many of these settings become damaged or corrupted, and are saved in the wrong way. This makes the game struggle to read the settings it needs, slowing it down and causing the lag.

The settings that games need are stored in the 'registry' of your computer, which is a central database that keeps all the settings of your computer. In order to fix most cases of game-lag, you just need to fix all the damaged settings that are causing the game to run slow. And that can be done by using a 'registry cleaner'. A registry cleaner is a software tool that scans through the settings on your PC and fixes any of the damages ones that are causing problems. By using a registry cleaner which works to fix all the damaged game settings on your PC, you can actually make your game run extremely smoothly again.

Computer Games Continue To Increase In Popularity


Image : http://www.flickr.com


Computer games are enjoyed just as much by adults as they are by children. Computer games are not just for pleasure but they can also teach you to think clearly and make quick decisions. The computer game is usually sold on standard storage media, such as compact discs, DVD, and floppy disks. Computer games are available for the home PC or can be played in different forms at Amusement arcades and many Corner stores.

Learning With Computers

Computers have the potential to address the requirements of a wide range of learning styles, and sometimes many needs can be accommodated within a single computer game program. Computer games allow you to step into their virtual worlds, to become part of the events that are taking place within the game. Computer games offer the pleasure of mastery, both visual and intellectual. Computer software today is not really that highly priced compared to other forms of common entertainment. Learning can sometimes become boring and repetitive but by using computer games to help with the learning process the attention span can be captured and maintained for many people including children.

Computer Games

Games are a fundamental part of human existence. There are many areas of computer gaming available for example, gambling, fantasy role playing and war games. Games played on home computers may utilize a joystick, keyboard or game pad (usually in some combination with each other). A broadband connection to the internet is very common in most households and allows game players to interact in multi player games with others across the world as though they are sitting next to each other in the same room. Games are objectively unreal in that they do not physically re create the situations they represent, yet they are subjectively real to the player.

Playing Games

Computer games are also now adult entertainment, and we shouldn't actually be surprised that adults want the same sort of things out of games as they do out of movies. Computer games are continually pushing the envelope of a computer's capabilities so to create a computer that handles them with ease hits a high mark. As technology increases and better computer hardware is made, the computer game programmers are able to build even more life like games to entertain the masses. Now that PCs can easily handle full-motion video, nearly every modern computer game is structured into levels punctuated by cinematic interludes. The game is wrapped in a story, and the reward for successfully realizing the game goals is that you get to see more of the story unfold.

Playing chess will make you better at strategic decisions, while playing football will keep you fit. Playing video games can keep your mind active and is fun whilst helping you develop and improve hand to eye co-ordination and quick decision making skills. These skills are very useful in life and are used in many different situations we encounter in day to day life. There is a massive choice of computer games on the market today, so no matter what your taste, there will be a computer game for you.

Learn How to Fly Playing Computer Flight Simulator Games


Image : http://www.flickr.com


Computer flight simulator games have come a long way since Bill Gates put his money where his fascination with flight was and bankrolled the ACES studio. Flight simulation games have always been at the forefront of gaming technology thanks in part to ACES but mostly to the military. These days, when people in Nevada are flying war theater drones over Iraq in real time, the line between simulation and reality has become even more blurred.

But most people just want to have fun with a more serious game without any violence. And computer flight simulator games are perfect for this. Whether you are a novice just wanting to try out flying a plane, or are more experienced and want to hone your skills or try out some dangerous maneuvers, a flight simulator game is a great pastime. And it is only getting better; graphics have become so realistic and features so varied.

The better computer flight simulator games are so realistic that they are used for training new pilots and for re-training practicing pilots. The basics have not changed much. But the improvements in accessories, sights, and sounds have totally transformed how exciting the games are.

For instance, newer computer flight simulator games can network through a server and enable you fly with your friends. You can connect up a series of screens to expand your flying view up to a complete surround or have multiple views of different parts of the game. You can create your own sights, planes, airports and sounds.

A good flight simulator game will have animated, photo-realistic cockpits. So, for instance, if the airport you are in has a slight slope you will feel that when you release the brakes. Or if the instrumentation has a slight lag in response (as it does quite noticeably in certain aircraft), then the cockpit controls in computer flight simulator games will reflect this. Instrument and system failures will also be mirror-images of the real thing.

The range of aircraft and landing options in the fleet is another difference in later generation computer flight simulator games. Planes, from vintage to next-gen, should be available, but also helicopters, gliders, and other exotic aircraft like ornithopters and zeppelins should be options. Air-to-air refueling and aircraft landing should be some of the advanced skill options available.

Scenery is a key factor in creating and maintaining realism in computer flight simulator games. Whether it is topography, infrastructure, or astronomy, they all need to be flawlessly detailed and seamlessly animated. The impact of fog or sun, day or night, wind or blizzard should be detailed in the flying view.

Time synchronization is another feature to look out for - wherever you are in the world virtually, the game reflects the actual, real-time of your location. This kind of verisimilitude is what makes flight simulation such an addictive game.

The ability to record and playback is another feature that should be standard. The realism of the flight simulator game enhances the fun side of it. But an added bonus is that you are really learning to fly. You are developing a skill that, with a couple of further steps, can be applied to real aircraft as well. And the capability of record and playback allows you to make and learn from mistakes.

Portal - Complete Game Speedrun (2/2)

I recommend checking out my NEW much faster version of this! www.youtube.com Part 1: www.youtube.com This is my complete, non-tool assisted, no cheating, speed run for Portal! It took forever to finally get it right so I hope you enjoy watching it! Final time (minus loading screens and elevators) is 14 minutes and 45 seconds, with a little more optimizing it might be possible to get it down to 14 minutes. Normally I don't do speedruns for modern games, but since this is one of my favorite games of 2007, I thought it deserved its own speedrun. Portal is a single-player, first-person puzzle game created by Valve as part of "The Orange Box" in September 2007 for Windows XP, Xbox 360, and the Playstation 3. In the game, which takes place in the Half-Life universe, you play the role of a female test subject named "Chell" for a company called Aperture Science. During the course of the game you go through a series of progressively more challenging test courses, the ultimate goal to reach the exit elevator in each. In each level you are guided (and taunted) by a computer AI called GLaDOS, which is apparently the only "sentient" being in the facility. To accomplish your tasks you get to use a "portal gun" which allows you to create two inter-spatial portals between planar surfaces. The portal gun creates two "end point portals" a red/orange one and a blue one. Anything entering one portal will exit through the other. If subsequent portals are created, the previously created portal ...

I was first introduced to this piece of software by people in forums who were discussing about it. Most of them who tried it said it is a great tool to watch live NFL and other types of sports with, so I went ahead to purchase this software myself.

2. Is Satellite TV PC Software a Scam?

Before I downloaded the software that I currently use, I had tried some free tools that promised satellite TV technology but they did not work at all. The free software had very limited number of channels, and they were mostly foreign channels. Finally, I purchased one called Satellite TV for PC Elite, and this software has been working very well for me so far.

3. What Are The Benefits of Watching Live Internet NFL Online?

With Satellite TV I can watch the entire NFL season of games without having to worry about pay-per-view fees or any other recurring fees. In fact, I am no longer subscribed to my cable TV since I was only using it to watch live sports, while the other channels are wasted. To start enjoying these benefits and watch NFL live games online, check out the website link below for more information.

Why Does My Computer Freeze All the Time?

When your computer freezes it can drive you crazy and make you feel like throwing it through the window. Does this sound familiar? You are in the most interesting part of a game and that is when it usually happens the computer freezes. How exasperating is that? This is when you need the answer to the question to why does my PC freeze?

Maybe you work from home on your computer as lots of people do these days the loss of work can be very frustrating when your computer freezes. In my experience the only options is the escape button. A last resort would be to remove the battery unplug your computer. Does this sound familiar to you? At this time you probably would ask the question to, why does my computer freeze?

Well the good news is it can be avoided in a very simple way if you know how like all things in life. A good way to start is to check the amount of RAM installed on your computer. By installing more RAM on your computer you find this really works. Another thing you should observe is watch how many applications you are running again this can suck up the memory.

Overheating

In most computers are installed with a fan if this fan is not functioning properly then the computer will overheat and lead to the freezing of the PC. By replacing the fan it will improve the air flow problem and resolve the situation. It is important not to experiment with this process unless you have some experience in this area to avoid future problems.

When computer is short of RAM which stands for Random Access Memory this is where you can experience your computer to run at very slow frustrating speeds and lead to freezing.

Another difficulty you man run into regarding RAM is how much availability there is regarding the system resources. If you are crazy about playing games that have exceptional graphics that can have an effect on your memory and in turn freeze up your computer. The simple answer to the question why does my computer freeze you are draining the resources of your PC. If you want to get the best performance from your computer then close all programs not in use before you start to play your games.

A final option is to check your computers registry if that is infected that will also cause freezing and slow downs of your computer.

How to Watch Soccer Games Live Online?


Image : http://www.flickr.com


Do you want to learn how to watch soccer games live on your PC? There is an increasing demand around the world for live games, which explains why television stations are paying more money for TV rights.

I used to think that live games broadcast is only possible through a cable TV subscription service, and watched on the television set. Upon further research into the internet, I discovered that many people are using a technology called Satellite TV on PC to stream live TV channels to their computers for no monthly fees.

What Are The Ways to Watch Soccer Games Live on the Internet?

1. Satellite TV to PC Software

This method that I use involves the download and installation of a piece of software called Satellite TV for PC Elite. The entire setup process takes typically 10 minutes, and the user will be able to access over 3,000 channels. On top of live sports games broadcast, I also get to enjoy other varieties of programmes like news, TV shows, movies, adult, educational, and many others.

This software mainly receives and deciphers TV signals through the internet for display on a PC monitor screen. I know that this method is very popular to use for watching live soccer games. I have recommended it to all my friends as well, and they are very pleased with it.

2. Watch From Sports Websites

Some sports websites will stream live soccer games. Some of them may be available for free, but most of the time they would charge a pay-per-view or monthly fee. However, I don't like this idea in general because I don't like to worry about increasing fees.

Buy Video Games Online - The Must Have Video Games of 2009


Image : http://www.flickr.com


Looking to buy video games online? You probably ought to check out some of the new releases. While the old favorites are always a good choice, there's nothing like immersing yourself in a new world - even if it's based on an old favorite. With each new release gamers typically find a better quality of experience, more fluid graphics and animation, and a richer overall experience.

Some of the newest releases that have been generating intense interest in the gaming community are Resident Evil 5, Street Fighter IV, UFC Undisputed, Wii Sports Resort, and Pokemon Platinum Version.

Resident Evil 5: (March 2009) The 7th installment in the Resident Evil franchise, this title has quickly outpaced all previous ones in sales and is being hailed by critics and gamers alike. The game involves tackling a horror-filled mission and is one of survival. It was released on both PS3 and Xbox 360, and while gamers may argue over which platform has the better graphics, the game is a visual masterpiece on either system.

Street Fighter IV: (Feb 2009) This game is based on the old Arcade favorite. It didn't stray far from its roots, which is probably why it received such a warm welcome from longtime fans. The game features devastating blows, classic Street Fighter characters and new moves and game play elements that will challenge even the most seasoned Street Fighter. With its balanced blend of old school elements, glossy new look, and next generation feel, the result is one of the best fighting games currently on the market - and one of the top sellers of 2009. Like Resident Evil 5, it's available on both Xbox 360 and PS3.

UFC Undisputed: (May 2009) This martial arts title, available on both Xbox 360 and PS3, features in depth, intricate fighting with a variety of mixed martial arts disciplines. It has been one of the top sellers since its release, and has received critical acclaim for its ability to make the most of the crazed martial arts phenomena currently gripping the gaming community.

Wii Sports Resort: (July 2009) This is a sequel to Wii's bestselling Wii Sports and has enjoyed the same positive response. The product features a series of games, like power cruising and sword play, to appeal to the causal user. Ten of the games are new and two of them - golf and bowling - are updated versions of classic Wii games.

What makes this release really special is that it comes with a new Wii peripheral called the Motion Plus. This attaches to the Wii controller, making it much more precise and allowing for more control of the onscreen action. More games are already being produced with this peripheral in mind, and it will soon become a must have accessory for all Wii users.

Pokemon Platinum Version: (March 2009) The Pokemon franchise has been with us for over 14 years and it's still going strong. This is an exclusive Nintendo DS product and is an upgrade of "Pokemon Diamond and Pearl". The biggest draw of the new Platinum version is the upgrade of online play. Gamers can battle it out with friends and strangers via Wi-Fi or even interact with up to 20 other players playing mini-games and mingling in exclusive Pokemon chat rooms.

Toad Strikes Back (Fan Game) - Boss Rush: Part 1

*gasp* Charem...LIVES?! Well, yes, sort of. I haven't abandoned YT, but I don't currently have the equipment to make movies anymore. x3 However, I did cook some stuff up on a friend's compy, so anyways... This is a fan game known as Toad Strikes Back, made by Thunder Dragon and downloadable here: www.mfgg.net . It's VERY well made, and combines elements of SMB2 (grabbing items/enemies from above), SMB3 (enemies, general gameplay mechanics), SMW ('stored' items), SMW2: YI (the bosses), and SM64 (hub world, collectible items in stages). Whew! My favorite part of this game HAS to be the bosses...custom sprites, done in a Yoshi's Island style, and each requires a different strategy. So I figured...heck, I'm putting together a boss rush! So here's part 1 of it! Sadly, I couldn't find a game cam that worked for this; they all didin't detect the game when it was running. (Probably has something to do with Game Maker games, as this is not the first time I've run into this problem.) I finally found a program that worked, but then I learned that my friend's odd sound setup made it so the computer could not record its own sound. =p But hey, the video looks great! :D And as for the sound, I've put in a lot of different Mario-themed remixes, mostly from Newgrounds.com. I spent a lot of time choosing the music, to make up for the lack of sound, so I hope it helps make the lack of sfx bearable! Also, I came up with the enemy names myself, since they don't seem to be mentioned or listed ...

Image : http://www.flickr.com

Quality and variety of downloads is another aspect to pay attention to. You should be able to download Zune games of different genres and good quality. As a game lover, you should know the value of a good game and never compromise on the quality out of sheer greediness.

And let the price not be your priority. When you are looking at a great variety of games, impeccable service, super fast downloading speeds and a bundle of other benefits, you should realize that this all is totally worth paying a reasonable price. For example, if you choose a good website for unlimited Zune downloads, you can get all your games and other Zune media for less than $50!

How to Download PSP Games - Download and Play PSP Games


Image : http://www.flickr.com


It is now very easy to learn how to download PSP games. There are now sites on the Internet that allow you to download PSP games on your computer and transfer and play on your PSP. There is no need to go all the way down to the game store only to find they haven't got any decent games in stock. Its much easier to find a good site on the Internet and download exactly which game you want when ever you want, not only games but a good site will have music and movie downloads too.

It can be quite tricky to find a good site to download your PSP games. Some sites are very slow, some are very expensive with monthly subscription fees and pay per download fees. After all my years of gaming and searching for a decent download site I've come across a few good ones. A very good download site will only charge a one time only membership fee, once you've joined as a member you get access to the members area, where there are very easy step by step instructions on how to find and download the game you want.

Also a good PSP download site will offer all types of media to download such as Music, Movies and TV shows as well as all the PSP games you could possible want. The membership fee for a good PSP download site will usually cost around the same as one PSP game, with NO monthly charges and NO pay per download fees.

Computers and Older People


Image : http://www.flickr.com


Surely everyone has heard the adage, "You can't teach an old dog new tricks." However, this does not necessarily refer to helping older people learn how to operate their computer. Today, most kids can at least turn on a computer, and they might play educational computer games regularly. Middle and high schoolers are taught basic computer classes, along with keyboarding. But what about the elderly?

For a generation that grew up without the convenience of cell phones and GPS navigation systems, computers can indeed seem daunting. However, using the computer and connecting to the internet can be very beneficial for older people for several reasons.

First, connect older people to an email account. Because email tends to be an easier method of communication than talking on the phone for some young people, typing a quick message can be a great way of staying in touch with grandparents. Also, with kids proficient with digital cameras these days, it can be an excellent idea to include a few photos as well. This can be a wonderful experience for families who live too far apart to see each other regularly.

Once an older person has mastered email, jump into the internet. There are plenty of things located on the web that could be helpful for an elder person: online grocery shopping with home delivery, medical websites, and all of the other benefits that also apply to everyone else. Additionally, learning to use the internet and having to search for things online can be a good mental exercise.

If a young person is not available to teach an elderly person how to use the computer and internet, an increasing amount of communities are offering classes specifically to older people for this exact purpose. Some churches and libraries in your area might offer classes like this.

Remember, you can only teach someone what they want to learn. Therefore, listen to the older person to determine what exactly they want out of a computer. Don't force them into learning all about Youtube if they will not be watching videos online. Try to make it as basic as possible, without giving a multitude of options for the same task.

Finally, websites themselves can make it easier for elderly people to access their sites. If you are targeting your site towards the older generation, make your website's content clear, with direct headings and concise information. Too much information all squished onto one page can be overwhelming for anyone.

Also, good customer service can be a huge help to the elderly trying to glean information from a business's website. One idea is to provide a live chat service on your web page to answer any questions that a person, elderly or otherwise, might have when looking at your site. An excellent live chat service provider is Ngage.

What is Computer Games and PSP Games Reviewed


Image : http://www.flickr.com


Without a doubt one of the most growing fields of the entertainment industry continues to be the computer games industry. The PC (Personal Computer) has developed into a total entertainment package with movies, music, games and more. Along with this growth has developed the personal games consoles. One of the most successful of these is the PSP - Playstation Portable - because of its small size yet capability to play games, music and movies.

One of the best things I ever did was buy my son a PSP for Christmas - he loves it. And like all parents - striving for quiet time - it is a great attention holder. On top of that I can use it for disciple - i.e. you can't play on your PSP - is as greater a punishment as a smack or other punishments. Thankfully my son's are on the whole very well behaved and after they finish their homework I like to reward them with time to do what they want to do. Often this is the PSP. The PSP games often variety and cost value. How often do I hear? Dad can I have a new PSP game. However as a parent how do you know what games are worth buying?

That is where it is nice to have a website - or in this case a blog that reviews computer and PSP games. I created the blog - computer games and PSP games reviewed to give a short review on the games we brought and how we found them. While many are games my son enjoys I have to be honest - I love playing with the PSP as well and their are some games - like the Godfather - which I play but would never let my son play until he is older. On top of that their are other PSP utilities like passport to London and other cities that I have brought and reviewed - because the computer and PSP have developed not just into a games machine - but a total entertainment package.

Best Cheap Gaming Computers


Image : http://www.flickr.com


Well, I finally got tired of it. I have been playing WarRock - a free, first person war game - with my brother. My gaming computer wasn't really slow, but it just wasn't fast enough. It always seemed like I was half a second behind, and the graphics weren't as good as I had seem on my brother's PC. So I went looking for the best cheap gaming computers, and this is what I found.

My budget was about $1,000. I knew that $1,000 wasn't going to buy the best gaming computer in the world, but it would get me off to a real good start. I wanted a computer that was not maxed out because I wanted to be able to enhance it if I needed. Since I didn't want to spend much more than $1,000, I started by looking at this IBuyPower Gamer Extreme 940i Desktop computer.

In my opinion, this is one of the best cheap gaming computers. It has a 2.8 GHz processor, and 4GB of dual channel memory. Its hard drive is huge at 750GB, and it also comes with a 24x DVD-RW drive. Its graphics card is a NVIDIA GeForce GTS250 1GB graphics card. It is not a top of the line card, but it is certainly more than acceptable. You will also get the Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium edition.

Another great benefit of this PC is that it comes with plenty of space. It has 10 USB ports, and 4 unused 5.25" bays for adding just about anything you want. It is also a very easy PC to setup - it is basically ready right out of the box. This Gamer Extreme 940i is very easy to work on, so if you are a gaming junkie like me, you will like that a lot.

The second product I looked at in my search for the best cheap gaming computers was this iBuyPower Extreme 542D3 Desktop Gaming Computer. It has a 3.2 GHz Athlon AMD processor, so it has a lot more giddy-up-and-go than my 2.1 GHz CPU. It has 4 GB of dual channel memory, and a 500 GB hard drive. Now its graphics card is a 1GB ATI Radeon graphics card, and it comes with Microsoft Windows 7 Home edition.

Another one of the best cheap gaming computers is the iBuyPower 901TO. The 2.3 GHz processor is slightly slower than the one above, but not enough that you are going to notice. Its hard drive is much smaller at 320 GB (as opposed to the 500 GB), but it does have the 4 GB hard drive.

The graphics card is the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X4500. The problem is that you are really going to need a dedicated graphics card for good gaming, so you will probably end up buying another graphics card. But the Intel Media Accelerator will get you started - just depends on how good you want your graphics to be.

You do get some pretty decent speakers with this gaming computer. I can't find the specs on the manufacturer's page, but they have to better than the other ones come with - which is none. This IBuyPower 901TO is about as low as you want to go on the price. You get much lower than this, and you just aren't really getting one of the best cheap gaming computers.

Multiplayer Shooting Games


Image : http://www.flickr.com


Multiplayer shooting games are some of the most fascinating online games you could ever be involved with. The reason why is because you're immersing yourself in an environment in which you're not only interacting with the computer game itself -- but also with other players who are not even in the same room with you. As a result, there is a level of complexity and realism to the game you are playing that can only be rivaled by physically going out and playing some kind of interactive game with people in real life.

What very few people realize is the fact that online multiplayer shooting has been around for quite some time. In the mid-1990s, the concept of multiplayer shooting games really began to take off and become popular. In fact, tournaments started to be organized by people who were interested in taking the concept of multiplayer games of this nature to the next level. Today, the level of realism is completely unprecedented.

If you are somebody who has seriously thought about playing a multiplayer shooter, you really owe it to yourself to get involved. Don't necessarily let yourself be persuaded by the people who seem to suggest that those who get involved with online multiplayer shooting are somehow troubled or predisposed to being bad people -- nothing could be further from the truth. One of the best ways to get started is to do what you're doing right now -- learning more about this type of genre or niche game. But will you really need to do is to start playing again yourself and to get involved with other people who are active participants.

Remember, multiplayer games are incredibly fun. They are a fantastic way to let off some steam and to just enjoy yourself after a long day at work or school.

Farmville Strategy Guide Pro Or Con


Image : http://www.flickr.com


The game of Farmville is on fire! People just can't get enough of this extreme game. The Farmville strategy guide put out by Tony Sanders is designed to accelerate the farmers process. The question being, is it worth your investment?

By now your probably asking yourself, what's all the hype? Why would anyone need help with a game like Farmville? You plant a bunch of stuff wait for it to grow and pick it, what's so difficult about that? The answer to that is, not a heck of a lot. However, to have a farm that's productive, profitable and colossal is something quite different.

The Farmville Strategy Guide was written by someone who mastered the game without cheats, bots or any other illegal means. These hints and strategies are just that, a guide to help you, not get you banned from the game.

The Math
In this guide you are shown unique processes to advance your levels at rapid rates. A lot of things shown in this guide the average person such as myself would overlook. The math in Farmville is very important if you want to level up quickly and when you have neighbors all around you doing just that and you can't figure out how there doing it, well my friends...I think maybe they had a little help!

The Cash
If you don't get the cash you can't buy the goodies, now can you? It's imperative that you get the coin in as quickly as possible. Adding buildings, vehicles, houses, barns and decorations all takes money and lots of it. If you look at some of the items that your neighbors give you and check out the cost of said items, you will be amazed. Not something you'll be buying yourself in the beginning.

Pro or Con
This guide is definitely a pro! It will unquestionably help you go to the next level, no pun intended. A lot of hard work and research went into the making of this guide and there is no question about that when you see the results.

The Pride
Picture this, a villa sitting in the middle of acres of prime rich land, with crops flourishing, tons of neighbors helping you out, buildings of every shape and size, animals galore and lots and lots of decorations but the best part is, it's your farm!

Why Your Computer is So Slow These Days and How to Fix it Very Quickly


Image : http://www.flickr.com


Nothing is worse than having to work with a computer that's slow. If you are a gamer, the slow speed could make you lose your game or points because of freezing or just slow uploads. If you are a programmer, you could lose your trend because of freezing, and this could cause you to miss encoding something. If you just like using your computer daily, you will likely want to run out and buy a new one just because you're frustrated. Stop allowing your slow computer to ruin your life. Fix it once and for all with a registry cleaner.

A slow PC, unless infected with a virus or malware, is slow because it has too much in it. Usually, when this happens, it is not the number of applications, software, documents you have stored in your computer, but the number of files in your registry.

The registry is found in your system, and so you normally do not see it unless you look for it in your Windows Search option. It has no icon for easy access for a reason. This is part of what makes your computer run, and so fiddling around with the registry is a big no-no.

You need a piece of software called a registry cleaner to delete the unnecessary files that are clogging your registry. These are files that you don't need anymore, so it's useless to keep them. Unfortunately, manual deletion is almost impossible because the file names are confusing and many look the same. If you delete the wrong file, your computer could crash. Why take the risk when a registry cleaner costs less than $30 and is good for many years?

Flight Simulator Games For Your PC - Get the Most Out of Your Game


Image : http://www.flickr.com


Flight simulator games for you PC range from computer based all the way up to a full sized cockpit experience. Usually they are based upon actual, real world conditions. They look and feel very realistic and anyone playing them, especially beginners, get so carried away that they become confused and feel that they are in the real thing and are going to have to crash land the plane.

There are also many addons and accessories that make this hobby a never ending learning curve. There is such a huge demand for these type of games that many experienced hobbyists are designing their own flight simulator games for your PC. Some individuals have even become real life pilots and make that their career, or design their own games and make that their career. That is how addicting this hobby is.

There are thousands of flight simulator games to choose from such as for the Nintendo, Pilot Wings, PlayStations and the Sky Odyssey. However, due to the limited capability of game consoles and their ability to display real life like simulations and experiences, they tend to be fairly simple to operate and very easy to use. This is fine for the beginner, but if you want a true life like experience, then you would do yourself a huge favor by using downloadable flight simulator games for your PC.

These games are not just for entertainment, but for professional purposes as well. Due to the fact that these games are safe and easy to use, many pilots use them just to get the feel of the real thing.

Searching For a Quality A320 Flight Simulator?


Image : http://www.flickr.com


It's like searching for a needle in a haystack when you are trying finding a good quality flight simulator game, it's even harder to find the best A320 flight simulator on the market.

The U.S. gaming industry has long overlooked the A320 in favor of the further trendy Boeing models, which has left supporters of the A320 and its sort, including the A319, A318, and A321, out in the cold. This has at last been rectified with the launch of Flight Pro Sim, a game which includes the ever popular Boeing, but also contains a quantity of Airbus models for enthusiasts to drool over.

One of the first aircrafts I took for a spin in the Flight Pro Sim game was the well liked model in the Airbus brand, the A320. Experiencing the A320 flight simulator for the first time I was especially impressed with the splendid quality of it and if you are a admirer of the A320 then I think you will be of the same opinion with me.

The A320's large standard cockpit design was the first thing that grabbed me I couldn't in fact concentrate on where to start. With the bigger jumbo jets having a large body you can feel the better operating of the A320 in the air straight away.

My first flight in the A320 flight simulator was brilliant and I began my trip in the home of the Airbus Headquarters, Paris. It truly felt like I was flying over the city as I zipped past the Eiffel Tower, and the city looked exceedingly impressive while all lit up at night.

If you decide to use the on line mode of the game then you will spot that the A320 is very busy and the A320 is so admired and it's good to spot and Flight Pro Sim does it justice. If you've been searching for a cracking A320 flight simulator for months or even years, I can happily report that your wait has ultimately come to an end, with Flight Pro Sim.

LCD Computer Monitor Buying Guide


Image : http://www.flickr.com


Sometimes buying new toys for yourself, your home, and your computer can be quite a daunting task. You want to make sure you get the most bang for your buck, right? You also want to make sure that what you're buying can put up with the task of being used, and handled daily. And you also want to make sure that there's no quality defects, or that there's no production or manufacturing problems that may lead to defects. Buying an LCD computer monitor is just another buying decision that you want to do well on. There are many aspects, and specifications of LCD computer monitors that you should pay very close attention to, because they determine how well your LCD monitor does a specific task, like playing a game or watching a movie, because not all computer monitors are made the same.

LCD Computer Monitor Specifications

Screen Size: This one is very important, I'm sure you can tell why. The bigger the screen size the more viewing area you have on your monitor, which equals a bigger screen for bigger movies, bigger games, and bigger web pages. Also bigger screen sizes support higher resolutions. LCD computer monitor size varies from 17 inches all the way up to 26 inches. A 26 inch LCD computer monitor is one nice piece of technology. However, the higher they go the more cash you'll end up spending. Most computer users stick with 19", 20", and 22" monitors. Right now these sizes are the sweet spots for the best bang for the buck. Currently, most monitor deals focus on these models.

Widescreen: Yes. Widescreen means that the computer monitor has an aspect ratio of 16:9, which has been growing in popularity over the last couple of years. Widescreen is better because it allows you to see the whole picture as it was intended in movies. It allows a wider viewing area which is very important, because on non-widescreen movies or 4:3 aspect ratio movies a large portion of the sides are cut off, and that can change a dramatic part of the movies into a not-so-dramatic part. With computers, widescreen allows you to have more sideways space for your applications, in overall computer usage it doesn't really have any side effects, and it makes it look equally cool. Most LCD computer monitors nowadays are being sold in Widescreen aspect ratios, you have to specifically look for an LCD monitor with a 4:3 aspect ratio anymore.

Native Resolution: The native resolution the maximum resolution that the monitor can display images natively. It's the resolution that the monitor was built to have. If you use a resolution other than the native resolution the monitor will have stretch, and shrink the image to fit the specified resolution which results in quality and detail loss. The native resolution offers the best image quality over all other resolutions. Good native monitor resolutions include 1920x1080 (1080p HD), 1280x720 (720p HD), and 1680x1050.

Contrast Ratio: The contrast ratio is the range between brightest and darkest on the computer monitor. The higher the contrast ratio the better. If a monitor has a high contrast ratio it has a greater range of shades, enhanced detail, and greater image depth.

Response Time: This is important especially for gaming and movies, this is the amount of time it takes for the monitor to refresh, the lower the response time the better. If your monitor's response time is low, or you have an older LCD computer monitor, you've probably experienced some ghosting, ghosting is where the images end up sort of being mashed together between frames. You'll see what's left over of the previous frame in the current frame, and can get irritating if it happens often.

Brightness: The brightness is emitted light power over a specific area on the monitor, the higher the brightness the better. Most monitors have over 200 cd/m2 which is sufficient for normal use.

Connectivity: Connectivity is important, because it will determine how your monitor is going to connect to your computer, most newer monitors have DVI connectivity, while older LCD monitors will have VGA port connectivity. If you happen to have a VGA monitor you can get an adapter that will convert it to DVI so you can plug your monitor into your computer.

Choosing The Right LCD Monitor

Average Computer User:

Screen Size: 17"-20"

Response Time: 8ms

Native Resolution: 1280x1024

Contrast Ratio: 450:1-500:1

Connectivity: DVI, VGA

Gamers and Home Theater PC Users

Screen Size: At least 19"

Widescreen: Yes

Response time: Less than 8ms

Native Resolution: 1280x1024, 1600x1200 or higher

Connectivity: DVI

Graphics Artists, Photographers, Heavy-Duty Photoshoppers

Screen Size: At least 20"

Widescreen: Yes

Native Resolution: 1600x1200 or higher

Connectivity: DVI

Remember, whenever you purchase something to also check out the reviews first, do a good review hunt for each product you're looking to purchase, because if the reviews are good then the product will be good, if they're bad then don't even think about buying it.

Faster Computer - How to Make Your Computer Run Faster


Image : http://www.flickr.com


Is your computer running slower and slower? If so, it is time for you to optimize your computer. A computer will start running slow and have various system errors after being used for a long time without proper maintenance. How to make your computer run faster and avoid some system errors? You need to follow the instructions below.

Repair Registry Errors

Repairing registry errors is the first thing that you should do if you want to make your computer run faster. Why? Because registry is that database of a computer which contains the most important information and settings of all software, device drivers and system programs on your computer. The data in registry defines how Windows system runs and how a software executes a operation.

Registry is very important to a computer. But it is extremely vulnerable. A simple un-installation of a software or a virus can bring damage to it. If some registry keys are deleted or corrupted, Windows system, devices and programs will not be able to run fast and work properly. What is worse, it can lead to severe PC problems like freezes, program not responding, blue screen and even crash. To improve computer performance, you need to repair registry errors regularly.

Clean Up Junk Files

When you use your PC, Windows would record each operation and save some temporary files on your computer. And when you open a website, IE would keep it in the browsing history and save the pages. And some programs also record operations and save some temporary files.

These temporary files do not do you a favor. On the contrary, they slow down your computer. Because when you boot up Windows, Windows needs to load necessary program files as well as the temporary files. They will slow down the computer. That is why we call these files as junk files. To make your computer run faster, you need to clean up the temporary files from your computer.

Optimizing computer performance is a very complicated thing. Besides repairing registry and cleaning up junk files from your computer, you still need to repair dll files, disable unnecessary startup items, tweak memory and so on. It's hard for you to do all the things manually.

Startup Programs Slow Your Computer


Image : http://www.flickr.com


A silent killer of modern operating systems is the set of programs and services (a special kind of program) that starts running silently when the computer starts. By the time you can get to your desktop after starting your computer, there could be 20 programs and 20 more services running - no wonder your computer is slow! This is a very simple concept: the more programs running, the slower the program you are interested in will run. This is one of the simple secrets to prevent computer problems and prevent a broken computer.

Today, let's first take a look at the programs running when your computer starts. The meat of this discussion will focus on Windows, but there are similar tools in other operating systems. For example, in Ubuntu Linux, navigate to System/Preferences/Startup Applications.

Back to the Windows world. Microsoft hides a very helpful list of these startup programs in a program called msconfig. Once the utility is opened, these programs can be located under the Startup tab. When you reach that tab, those programs can be removed from the list of programs that starts at boot-up time simply by deselecting the corresponding checkbox! That is the easy part.

How do you know which ones are safe to disable? Use a database such as the one at BleepingComputer - open that website and type in the name (far left column, next to the checkbox) of the program listed in the Startups tab of msconfig, and if the Status column has anything but "Y" then it can be safely de-selected. Additional clues can be found simply by searching for the program name in Google, and looking at the folder it's installed in within msconfig.

Often times, programs are configured to start up so that their "environment" is ready when you want the application. As an example, Adobe Reader includes a program with the sole purpose of helping Adobe Reader to start faster (reader_sl.exe), but which consumes your computer's resources! Ultimately we recommend replacing Adobe Reader because it is entirely bloated and slow, but more on that later-uncheck the reader_sl.exe entry in msconfig! Watch for the follow-up piece about operating system Services.
