Well I have been using ebay for a while, and every once in a while I come across some really cheap items. Now what I did was I took the list of cheap items and I bought them. These items are pretty good, and are worth the price for a while. They make good holiday, and birthday gifts too. I bought 1 notebook cooling pad, 1 pair of headphones, a led mouse, and a usb fan, and packaged them up into one box and gave it a gift to someone. They loved it! Some people might disagree with me. They would say these items from China or Hong Kong are not tested properly, and or are not up to American standards. I don't think they are ether. They do feel cheap but they last a long time considering the price you are paying.
Thats right! In jackets! The ipod controls are built in. Good for winter sports! You store your jacket in the inner pocket of the jacket.There is a small joystick on the sleeve of the arm. So you will not have to take out your ipod to change the volume or switch tracks. The price of this jacket costs alot more then the ipod, so I don't suggest buying it.
Instead just get the ipod out and switch the tracks... or have it to shuffle.
Im sure that all of you know what the word mmorpg means. ( mmorpg = Massive multiplayer online role-playing game)
In standard mmorpg games you have click on the ground, or use the wasd controls to make your character move. You have to level your own character, and in some, grind. Grinding is where you kill monsters for no reason other then to level it up. In some games it can take months to get your character to the max level. In others you have but special item shop items so you can level faster. ( 10% extra exp for some odd dollars)
There are other games like world of warcraft where you must pay a monthly fee to pay for it. Then the biggest problem with some of these games is not the fact that you have t grind for months, or that you have to pay monthly fee, it is that You have to deal with Bot!
What are bots? Bots are automated programs that other players use to level faster, level automatically, get gold faster, in other words, to cheat. They use them to get ahead of other players. Some botting programs cost money, about $5 - $15. On top of that you have to pay for the game, $15. Meaning you could be paying anywhere from $15 - $30 a month for a game that you might only play for 6 months.
Then comes alot jade dynasty. Jade dynasty is a game that allows you to do everything that a standard mmorpg game, but it also allows that extra feature. It is the ability to bot. You start off with a level on character, and level your self untill you get to level 3. Then after level 3 you do a small quest, and get a esper. ( a bot) an esper can train your character by it self. So this takes you grinding to level up out of the equation.
You can quest in the day time, and bot at night. Its a good deal. Also you don't even have to use the wasd controls. You just point and click on the map where you want to go, and it takes you. If you are on a quest and you cannot find the npc, you click on that npc's name, and it automatically takes you. But, to me that is not the main selling point.
I think the best thing about this game is it is fun! It starts off a little bland but after around level 10, you can go on quests. All the items in this game are very easy to get! Botting over night can get you quite alot of gold after around level 45 that is. You can upgrade your esper, or get new espers. Upgrading your esper gives you more defense, hp, and attacks for when you are botting.
The game also has tons of great quests that can keep you occupied for the entire day. Each day there are different evens, quests, and journeys you can go on. There are some quests that give you experience, some that give you better espers ( bots), and alot that give you titles, such as Lost soul, and Conqueror of the west. There are also daily fishing tenements, which you can never loose! You always get more gold then you started out with.
Another major thing about this game is that it is fee to play! There is an item shop mall where you have to pay to get items. But that is not a problem. They also have a program where you can do simple surveys to get cash. The surveys can give you anywhere from $25 cents to $50. I am sure you know about the websites that give you money for completing surveys and such. The problem with that is that those survey sites give you a very minuscule amount of cash. They might give you 25% of the profit, and they keep the rest. In jade dynasty you get 100% of the profit... well in item mall money that is.
Then you can use that money to buy what ever you want. This keeps the ingame prices low, and if you break something by blacksmithing/enchanting you don't loose much. Which also leads to a happy game experience. It might seem absurd at first, but it all works out after around level 30. (You can get to level 45 in about 4 days if you are new, 1 day if you know what you are doing.)
The only problem I have with this game is that you get a very small inventory and bank space to start out with. You get about 20 slots in inventory and 20 in bank. And you need item mall cash to expand it. This isn't a problem if you do a few surveys. About 4 surveys should allow you to expand you inventory further. Or you can charge your credit card for $3 and get it.
So give jade dynasty a try! Its free, and it is fun! As it downloads, do a couple of surveys, and get about $5 - 10 to help you out when you start off. ( buy your self some more inventory space for the best experience. )
Well It doesn't say that it is coming out. The picture just says the case also works for the psp 4000.The only problem is that there is no psp 4000 yet. So whats going on? It could be just a typo, or maybe they are working on a psp 4000. But why would they be releasing a new psp when they just came out with the psp go? Maybe they realized that PlayStation potable go maked no sense what so ever. Or maybe I am just going crazy. Ether way it work. Ha!
Have you ever bid on an ipod, and when you get it, it turns out to be a fake? What gave it away? The cheap design or the loading screen? Here are 6 things to look out for when bidding on ebay.
1 - Watch out for Engrish! No not English, but Engrish. If the person is living in hong kong, or China, and is saying it a genuin ipod, you might want to double check. One is by emailing him, and tell him to send you a picture of the actual thing you are bidding on. If he or she declines then move on to a different auction!
2 - Look for the word "ipod" usually now days when they are posting the fake ipods, they say " Oem mp4 player". Not ipod so look out for that!
3 - abnormal features! If the guy says its an Ipod shuffle, and he also says it has a camera on it then it is probably not an ipod! There are ipod shuffles clones with a built in camera, and sd card slot (lol). So watch out for that! I know ipod nanos have cameras, so another thing to watch out for is the buttons on the ipod. A normal Ipod has these buttons. Also the fake ipod touch has a button that is a rectangle, not a circle, like the real one.
A fake Ipod would have buttons like this -
4 - Screen size! if the screen is 1.5 inch Fake ipods have a screen cover that is about 1.5 inches but the actual screen size is only 1.2 - 1.3 inches.
5 - multi media player, pouch, and no original packaging "but safely wrapped around bubblewrap!" Most of the time, fake ipod sellers have the words OEM, and multi media player in the same sentence! They always include a "free gift" pouch that says the words mp4 player, or has a Disney character on it. Also they will say this item will not include the original packaging to save shipping costs.
6 - Price and capacity! Since i pod clones made with cheap materials, they will have a price that is about 1/5 - the price of a real Ipod. You can find ipod clones going for $20, while the real Ipods go for $100 -$150. Note that the $20 ipod clones are 2gb. Some will attempt to sell 8gb ones for $20. But the truth is that those 8gb players have hacked firmwares! They are really 128mbs - 2gbs. All they do is trick the ipod clone to think it is 8gbs. If you recently bought a 8gb fake ipod clone for $20 then contact the seller. He will attempt to give you a 50% refund, and say " our worker made mistake with chip." But the catch is you will have to leave a positive comment first.
If you are planning on buying a real ipod, then please do not buy it from ebay, unless you are sure it is the real deal! Always buy from people that accept returns, so if you do not like what you have bought, you can return it. But you do want a fake ipod then here are the going prices -
Ipod shuffle clone - sd slot ( no memory ) about $6
Ipod shuffle 2gb memory clone - $12
Ipod nano - 2gb or hacked to 8gb clone - $20
Ipod touch clone - $40
Remember they can explode, and or cause damage since they are not really quality tested.
Coming 2010! Hopefully this isn't another Duke Nukem Forever, where it takes 10 years to make ( refer to Duke Nukem Forever post)
" Critical Mass is the first in the planned Duke Nukem trilogy of handheld games, but it also takes place at the furthest point in the timeline. Confusing? Blame time travel. Critical Mass finds Duke in a dystopian future where he must figure out how the aliens took over. The subsequent games will send him (in order) to the present day and then back to World War 2 in his quest to set things right. Could Duke be due for a Wolfenstein crossover or a one-on-one battle with Hitler? We can only hope.
As for Critical Mass itself, it's hard to tell if the game will be a return to form for the long-defunct Apogee Software or simply an unwanted blast from the past. One thing is certain though: The game doesn't contain nearly as much clip art as the trailer, and that's a damned shame."
Remember those ipod clones coming out of china? we see on ebay all the time... ( i will be posting about them sometime in the future) well now guess what? we got the Chintendo vii! Im guessing its a revered engineered wii that has a lower price then the wii. The thing looks stupid retarded!
Well since this blog is about games I thought I would also share a game with you. This game is pretty good. If you have played Diablo you will be familiar with this game in terms of its camera movement and dungeon crawling. This is an action role-playing game developed by runic games and published by perfect world Entertainment. It is set in the fictional town of torchlight. You have to explore the caverns near by, and collect valuable loot and battle monsters. You can play as a destroyer, vanquisher or alchemist.
The destroyer is a warrior class who depends upon its melee skills. This class also has the ability to use its ancestral magic.
The Vanquisher is more of a assassin class. This class can use ranged weapons and trap her foes.
The Alchemist is a mage class. This class uses its power, which is derived from "ember", to make fireballs, lightening, and to summon imps, and robots.
You also get to choose a pet. You can pick a dog or you can pick a cat. It helps kill monsters. If your inventory gets full you can send it back to town to sell off the goods.
The plot of the game is - the town called torchlight is built on a vein of ember. The ember is power to imbue people and items with magical powers. However, as the player character explores the dungeons below Torchlight, they discover that Ember has a corrupting influence which led to the fall of past civilizations and endangers those who use it in the present.
Overall its a good game! I give it a 4/5.
the pros
It has a good price. It is only $20
It is a dungeon crawler with randomly generated dungeons. This means it has alot of replay value. You can replay the game with a different class and see it from a different point.
The cons
Only 3 characters to choose from. No multilayer. You can't even change the sex of those characters.
If you are not sure you want to buy this game right away, you can try the demo.
Or you can buy it right away from only $20.
This game would make a great Christmas present, especially if you have not yet bought one for that special someone. Great gift for someone who loves dungeon crawler and diablo style games.
yes! There is a website called mp3fiesta that is offering all their songs for only .05 cents each.
You can also buy the whole album for only .50 cents! The reason it is legal is because it is a Russian company. In Russia the Russia's Copyright Organization (ROMS) sets the royalties that go to the artist, and they set it way lower then here in the USA. So yea artists get less royalties but hey ... you got your track for only .05 cents and the artists can always send in a form to have their music taken down.
And yes it is legal!
"This site is not illegal, unethical, or amoral. I work with digital music @ Best Buy through several different companies including our own and can tell you that you aren't just purchasing a digital download but the whole shabang that made it available including but not limited to advertising, employees, software to distribute, physical cards to purchase in stores, proprietary file extensions (all kinds of other madness goes with those), and support. The FBI said it right; "they don't have the overhead" I'll bet the operating cost of this outfit is next to nothing. So maybe Amazon and iTunes seem a bit hinky to me for having to charge us for their costs. You wouldn't want to pay $5000 more for your car because the dealer hired 5 more people and put out a series of commercials! Why pay more on iTunes? This looks like a healthy source of music that's marked just over cost. Guy probably gets $$$ from ads or the millions of dimes flying in...I'm sure telling my pals about it."
Are you tired of spending money on games? Has the downed economy prevented you from buying games? Do you wish you can just trade your games with other people around the USA for free? Well now you can! well with a small postage fee. Its fast, its simple, and its FREE!
Here it is what you do -
Make a profile, state you favorite game, and what game you are currently playing alot of. Then you make your games list. Select the games you have. Then make a wishlist of games you want. Then browse around and find the person willing to trade the game on your wish list for the game he or she has.
Then if the person accepts your offer then you ship him your game and he ships you his.
Now I know what you are thinking. What if that guy takes my game and doesn't ship his?
There are many ways to verify that that guy will ship you his game.
First you look at his feed back. You see how many trades he has done, and how many of those trades where positive trades. ( kind of like ebay) Then you look at if he is verified. Verified just means you pay switchgames $5 to verifie that you live where you put your shipping address.
If you are still not satisfied you can also buy switchgame's insurance. It costs $5. You also get a postage stamp with that insurance so you put the game in the packing material, slap the printable postage stamp and ship it off. You get your game fully covered If the game gets lost in the mail and or if the person you traded with steals your game(s).
Players also get trophies, achievements, and ribbons stating how many games you have traded.
This is the best way to save money. Why? If take a look at the stores that buy your games you will see that they are buying it for the fraction of the price you paid for it when you bought it when it was new. Here on switchgames you decide what your game is worth. You can also trade your retro games with other people who are willing to accept them.
With more and more members joining everyday, switchgames has unlimited potential.
Cherrypal is releasing a laptop that is only $100! This laptop is "small,slow,and sufficient." This small candy features 7-inch screen, 2GB of flash memory, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and two USB ports. Its called the Cherrypal Africa. For only $100... or should I say $99, its a good deal if you want a laptop ONLY for checking your email, and ... slow shopping on the internet. Although a USED laptop could be a better choice... Read the full scope here.
Remembers those days where you stole your neighbors unprotected internet? I remember I use to do that when I forgot to pay my internet bill. I remember having to move my laptop from my room to the bathroom to receive good signal. Well now you won't have to do that! You will receive free wireless internet from McDonalds! Now keep in mind the fact that wireless coverage tends to extend out around the parking lot. So if you live next to the McDonalds your in luck! If not then just bring your laptop with you when your going there to eat. McDonalds will begin rolling it out around Mid-January so stay tuned!
Well since this blog is about saving money and crap I though I would share some websites with other people who might like saving money. I know how you have to give an arm and sometimes a leg to get the deals on black Friday. Well now don't fret! You won't have to do that any more... There are a group of websites dedicated to saving you money on your next shopping spree. These websites have good products, some are refurbished, and some are new. Most of the Refurbs on these websites are customer returns that where sent back to the company. The company inspected them, and if they found a problem they would fix it. One of the deals I saw on there was a $129 19 inch flat screen lcd tv. This tv is a refurb, but for $25 more you can get a 1 year warranty, and for $40 more you can get a 2 year warranty. I also found a emachines pc with 2gb ram, 1.6ghz processor, and a 160gb hdd for only $150! Currently they are offering free shipping for orders that are $100 or more and 30 lbs or less. This pc would make a good second or third pc good for watching movies and emails. And that $130 tv I talked about can also double as a monitor! So check these websites out.
Ok maybe on occasions I will post things that have nothing to do with gaming... including this post!
On with the big idea -
Ok so this post is about treasuretroopers. TT is a website that pays you to complete surveys, offers, and it even has some deals. I signed up for this about 2 years ago... I manged to make $20.75 about a couple months back and then after they sent me the check I went inactive. Now i'm deciding to get back on the bandwagon and make some cash and spread the word. This website is easy and simple to use and if you skip all the offers you can make about $1 - $4 a day just by doing surveys. Each survey is about 2 - 6 minutes long. yesterday I was on for about 20 minutes and did about 5 surveys... I managed to pull in $3.50 just in one day. I know it doesn't seem alot but it can add up fast. Now if you aren't satisfied with just $3.50 a day, you can also make money with referrals! All you have to do is show them their link to your friends, and family, and you receive 20% of the money that your referrals make and 5% of the money that their referrals make. It's a good and solid plan... especially if you can rake in some referrals. They also have treasure hunts, and you also receive tokens that you are able to trade in for items such as an ipod, and even a xbox 360! Click here to visit their site.
Duke Nukem forever ( DNF for short) is a first-person shooter that has been said to be in developed by 3d-realms (Apogee Software). DNF was first annouced on April of 1997. The game was hyped, yet never released . was said to be a groundbreaking game but after disputes, and Game engin changes, production was staggered to a hult. This game has been subject speculation and has even won several Vaporware awards. But 3D Realms' George Broussard has said in his Twitter update that they have reached a key milestone this week.
" Closing out a milestone this week. 71 more tasks to do and we started with probably 800-900. Been a good push. Next one starts Monday."
