Online gaming

Online gaming is a technology rather than a genre, a mechanism for connecting players together rather than a particular pattern of gameplay.  Online games are played over some form of computer network, now typically on the Internet. One advantage of online games is the ability to connect to multiplayer games, although single-player online games are quite common as well. A second advantage of online games is that a great percentage of games don’t require payment. Also third that is worth noting is the availability of wide variety of games for all type of game players. Some of the more recent ones are diablo3 and the yet to be released Mists of Pandaria.  Popular online games are commonly bound by an End User License Agreement (EULA). The consequences of breaking the agreement vary according to the contract; ranging from warnings to termination, such as in the 3D immersive world Second Life where a breach of contract will append the player warnings, suspension and termination depending on the offense. Enforcing the EULA is difficult, due to high economic costs of human intervention and low returns back to the firm. Only in large scale games is it profitable for the firm to enforce its EULA.

SWTOR Leveling Guides.

Leveling guides are instruction books and/or videos that contain hints or complete solutions to specific online games. The line between leveling guides and walkthroughs is somewhat blurred, with the former often containing or being written around the latter. Leveling guides are often published in online. In cases of exceptionally popular game titles, guides may be sold through more mainstream publication channels, such as bookstores or even newsstands. But most publishers sell E-Book versions on their websites.

Leveling guides marketed as "official" are written by game distributors themselves or licensed to a specialty publishing house; Prima Games (a division of Random House) and BradyGames (a division of Pearson Education) specialize in writing official guides for various companies. There are also a number of publishers who make unlicensed, "unofficial" leveling guides, and many of today's mainstream publishers began by making such guides.

The contents of a leveling guide varies between game genres. Typically, the guides contain detailed gameplay information, for example, maneuvers that are not detailed in the manual.

Complete maps of the game, which show the placement of all items (including hidden and hard-to-find ones).  You can also find detailed instructions for specific locations and information on how to proceed from there.

There are explanations of puzzles and details of enemies, including techniques on defeating individual enemies (especially bosses), the segment for minor enemies is commonly referred to as a bestiary.

Game editing has been less common in official guides. Walkthroughs, on the other hand, are usually present to help the player complete levels. And there is also advice on tactics and strategies for use in multi-player (games with multi-player only)

In order to be released at the same time as the game, commercial leveling guides are often based on a pre-release version of the game, rather than the final retail version. Some leveling guides are sometimes published before the game itself is published.

For example, for the recently released game SWTOR (Star Wars The Old Republic Game) there are several leveling guides available. Here is a list of some of them:- 1) SWTOR Secrets Leveling Guide Review;  2) SWTOR Aeon Leveling Guide Review SWTOR;  3) SWTOR Saviour Leveling Guide Review;  4) WealthyHutts SWTOR Credits Guide Review;  5) Strife SWTOR Video Leveling Guide Review;  6) SWTOR Online Leveling Guide Review;  7) SWTOR Use The Force Leveling Guide Review;  8) SWTOR Ultimate TOR Leveling Guide Review

The increasing availability of online multiplayer games (MMORPG’s) has increased some of the demand for leveling guides. Print guides often feature extensive picture-by-picture walkthroughs, maps, and game art, none of which is possible in the plain-text works hosted by prominent sites such as GameFAQs. Some newer sites allow leveling guides to be hosted in formats that allow pictures and videos, which further undercuts the advantages of print leveling guides.

The rise of video-sharing sites such as YouTube has given rise to video walkthroughs using programs such as Fraps allowing players to more easily mirror the strategies being described.

SWTOR

In January 2012, Star Wars: The Old Republic was officially recognised by Guinness World Records as the "Largest Entertainment Voice Over Project Ever", with over 200,000 lines of recorded dialogue.  This feat is recorded in the Guinness World Records Gamer's Edition book. This is quite a remarkable feat indeed.

And Star Wars The Old Republic Leveling Guides can help you play this new game which is BioWare's first entry into the MMORPG market, and is the second Star Wars MMORPG after Star Wars Galaxies. BioWare had long been interested in working on a MMORPG, but waited until they had "the right partners, the right team, and the right I.P." So, what is MMORPG? Well, MMORPG means massive multiplayer online role-playing game.
 A major focus in the game is on developing characters' individual stories and, in October 2008, BioWare considered this game to have more story content than all of their other games combined. The writing team worked on the project longer than any of the game's other development teams. An October 2008 preview noted some of the 12 full-time writers had been working on The Old Republic for more than two years at that point. This makes the game sound daunting; but if you use   SWTOR leveling guides , it can get easier to play.
On September 29, 2009, Bioware announced that they would be accepting applications for testers from the game community. Within minutes, the official website was down due to traffic, and Bioware announced shortly after that the site was being changed in order to accommodate the increase in visitors.  Game testing was officially announced to be underway on July 9, 2010, for testers from North American territories. And the Star Wars The Old Republic Leveling Guide can help those who want to play at higher levels.
Although released in most regions of the world, EA have said Australasia will be getting the game at a later date. The reason behind this is so to hold back digital and boxed copies for a smooth launch so to avoid any problems encountered during launch.  However BioWare have revealed that the game won't be region or IP blocked allowing players to purchase the game from other regions.  So, if you want to play, there shouldn’t be too much trouble getting the game; and,  an SWTOR leveling guide can help you play and win.  Additionally BioWare have allowed Australian and New Zealand players to take part in the beta stages of the game.

Star Wars

The new game: Star Wars: The Old Republic, or SWTOR, is an online role-playing game based in the Star Wars movies. They first let people know about this game about three years ago before the real video game was actually released this month. But some people were able to get the game early because they had ordered it many months before it was made available to the public. The Old Republic  game cost so much to make that some people say they spent more than anybody ever spent before to make an online game.

Everything happens in Star Wars the old mythology that started in the great feature films from 30 years ago. There’s the Sith Empire, the Galactic Republic, the Jedi, and of course the Force, to name a few.

In Star Wars The Old Republic game anyone can choose their own “non-player character” for a companion. This is kind of nice because they say you can even start a sort of online, in the game, romance between characters in the game. Hey..it could be fun..

Christmas time

What do I want for Christmas…

You could start guessing the secret desire of my heart right away... but perhaps not yet.... Remember, you have only one shot at Christmas until next year again!...Oh no. .. you say….what if it’s just fun...like on face book playing with my friends..well maybe...

If you miss it this year, I will not be happy. Tweet a little, tweet a lot, treat me nice, or let me rot… You can always search for the hidden treasure….. but I bet you it’s more fun to seek than to find. So again you wonder....what is it? ….more facebook friends, more money, more freedom...no, not really.

I’ll tell you what I want for Christmas….I’d like us all to live out the truth of loving thy neighbour as thyself…You don’t have to be a Christian to do this, and you don’t have to be a Christian to love God …..Every true religion preaches these principles in one way or another.. Because, after all is said and done, the truth is really written deep within the hearts of all men…

Internet based home business.

Internet-based home business.
Internet-based home businesses often use drop shipping as a supply chain management technique in which the retailer does not keep goods in stock, but instead transfers customer orders and shipment details to either the manufacturer or a wholesaler, who then ships the goods directly to the customer. As in retail businesses, the majority of internet marketers make their profit on the difference between the wholesale and retail price but some earn an agreed percentage of the sales in commission, paid by the wholesaler to the marketer.
Affiliate marketing is another good thing to work from with the internet. It can also be compared to drop shipping. As with drop shipping, affiliate marketing allows a website to list an item for sale that is not on hand but rather is shipped through a third party.
Internet marketers that drop ship merchandise from wholesalers sometimes use "private label shipping" (having merchandise shipped from the wholesaler with a return address customized to the marketer). A customized packing slip may also be included by the wholesaler, indicating the internet marketer’s company name, logo, and/or contact information.
Many sellers on online auction sites, such as eBay, also drop ship. Often, a seller will list an item as new and ship the item directly from the wholesaler to the highest bidder. This is another nice thing that can give me money because I can profit from the difference between the winning bid and the wholesale price, minus any selling and merchant fees from the auction site. A seller is permitted by eBay to list items that are currently not in his/her own possession, provided that he/she follows eBay's policy on pre-sale items.
An emerging trend in the drop ship business is private label drop shipping, in which a manufacturer produces a custom item for an internet marketer and drop ships it. The range of private label drop shipped items varies from simple keychains and t-shirts with custom logos or pictures to customized formulations for vitamins and nutritional supplements.
Major drop shipping suppliers and fulfillment services are primarily based in the USA. This can be seen in the location of companies like CommerceHub, who support major chain stores like Sears. Since 2006 many drop ship companies have emerged in China, many of which offer wholesale and drop shipping services to both companies and individuals.
