Raw Meat RAW MEAT

Raw meat, a Science?

Russians eat raw meat, YES RAW MEAT, infact humans were made to eat raw meat, a healthy person will not get sick from eating raw meat, or get ecoli, it's pretty hard to get sick and die from it unless you are already unheatly, it's just like eating raw eggs, it's not a big deal, especially if prepared right, back in the day people used to put salt and garlic to preserve and flavor meat for longer, russians do the same thing, we put garlic and salt in a jar with raw meat, then let it sit in the fridge (If it lasts that long) then we eat it, I will be demonstrating this in the coming weeks, need to search for some tasty meat.

And as a monster from level two of Diablo used to say "AHHHH FRESH MEAT".

Have Less Than a Minute Before a Raid?

Here's what you do, goto the kitchen grab about 3-4 eggs, crack them into a glass, or cup and drink them, BOOM DINNER and raid time. nothing magical. This is what I do I don't recommend you do it though. Here is me doing it. I did this when I played WoW to save time.




I don't recommend people do it by all means, but I am just not worried about getting sick from raw eggs, Russians tend to eat raw meat, and uncooked products already, so you guys don't try this at home! unless you're crazy like me and take the responsibility for it :p

Food for Gamers!

Top Ramen. nuff said.

But if you want to upgrade get.

Mama Noodles, just boil hot water crack 2 eggs into it and throw in the noodles and mix. pour it into a bowl cover it for a minute and eat. Pretty simple, and way better than Top Ramen.

Reasons Why to Purchase a Honda Civic LX 2010+

Reasons why to purchase a Honda Civic LX 2010+

My wife is currently a proud owner of a Honda Civic LX 2010 at 5 year contract 1.9% APR (Lowest possible)
Power Steering - Unrestricted access, not always the best but if you are like me you'll love it too, it's one of the features that Toyota doesn't usually provide, It's like using the word "Freedom" in anything constitutional, in this case, you can turn as sharp as you like, and without being bogged down by an automated system locking up so you can't turn so sharp, this actually helps when it isn't locked down when you are making strict turns, for instance if you are an aggressive driver, if you are this may be for you, since it will allow you to save over a seconds word of time to make that sharp turn on a street, to gain those maximum speeds.

Acceleration in a Honda reduces and equals with Toyota around 100mph, though a Honda may have better acceleration in the first 0-60 it will equal out later on. don't let it be an instrument of measurement.

VTEC = Variable Time Electronic Control ,what it does is gives you optimal gas mileage. This technology is very efficient, with my first hand experience.

Now this is a feature that works very well for people who have to share a vehicle, within about 5 miles it adjusts to the driver usually in mine and my spouses experience., the Honda on average got about 33-34gas mileage in city and on highway up to 37MPG

Honda Financial usually offers a 1.9 APR for 60 months, and a 0.9% APR for 36 Months
1.9% APR.

My wife only put down around 3000 on the car, and lowered the payment to be 300 per month exactly, because of the APR it is a little more expensive than a Toyota, also Honda does have a program that switches sometimes they'll have the 0.9% APR for 36 months sometimes they won't. But they will never have 0% APR and apparently never have had it, but this is information according to the sales associates, that can only take you so far.

A bonus for the Honda Civic LX 2010 model is the seats are really comfortable, oh my word I loved it, and the dash board looks like a rocket launcher.

Honda 5/5

You are looking to pay about 700-1000 more for a Honda Civic LX than a Toyota Corolla LX same year, the extra features are worth it. I will be frank I love my wife's Honda, and to drive it too, the 800-1000 is well worth spending if you have the cash you want to spend, but just remember you will be paying more monthly for this vehicle since you can't get around the APR.

Reasons Why to Purchase a Toyota Corolla LE 2010+

Reasons why to Purchase a Toyota Corolla LE 2010+

I am currently a proud owner of a Toyota Corolla LE 2010, 5 year contract 0% APR

I will state this at the beginning, both Honda and Toyota make amazing vehicles. This isn't a VS this states how certain things work and which would be better for who

VTI Engine = Variable Timing Intelligence, this engine adjusts to the driver, usually this is best if this vehicle is for a single driver and purpose, meaning you aren't going to be making long and short trips varying in miles everyday.

The engine doesn't work as hard, no matter what, all Toyota's have a timing chain belt.
Electronic Steering Wheel, this is a safety feature, it may feel like your steering wheel is locking so you aren't able to turn as hard as you'd like, truth is it's for safety reason, I have driven the Honda LX, and would say that this is a beneficial feature. It makes it so that when you are turning, if it is too tight it locks up, every time so far it has saved me from having to manually self adjust the turn when it comes down to making one.

Toyota is generally cheaper than a Honda also, but you have to remember, there are reasons for this, one of the main problems for Toyota right now is their PR is terrible with all their recalls, it's been all over the news, meaning it is EASY to negotiate the price down, but Toyota knows this already, so they will try to make you pay more. I purchased my Toyota Corolla LE at the price of 17,500(exactly) BEFORE fees and tax, you can go lower than this though, you may be able to purchase it for as little as 17,000 if this is at the end of the month, saving you quite a nice amount of money.

A hot tip for buying a new car at 0% with Toyota is, if you don't have a good credit rating and they are asking for a co-signer you can actually offer to put more money down, money down refers to any way you put it too, for instance if you use credit cards with low APR, so what you would do is, you use a credit card, pay the minimum monthly payment on your car every month, and pay the high APR card off first, after that's paid off you have your own monthly payment on your Toyota, my monthly payment is currently 225.54 it's not that bad

Toyota 5/5

Toyota is generally the cheaper car to get, My wife's family has been purchasing Toyota for the last 15 years, after they met me they fell in love with Honda, the look is very sleek, but don't be fools Toyota is still just as good of a car than Honda, it is just a more basic car, so if you are looking to save around 800-1000 dollars I'd just purchase a Toyota Corolla LE, but don't go a model lower you will lose advantages.

When purchasing the Corolla, make sure you start telling the dealer that you are not interested with all the accessories that come with it, this will quickly give you an advantage even though the car comes with them already, if you tell them you are interested, it's as if you are already agreeing to purchasing them. I was able to go against wanting them, and still received them when I purchased the vehicle, according to their retail price I walked away with an extra 800 dollars in value(Over priced on their side though.) Just remember negotiate the best you can.

A New Gaming PC from $320-$681 and It Works!

A Cheap Gaming PC that works efficiently for most games out now.

Dell Vostro Series.

This is often overlooked, and they are incredibly cheap compared to most PCs

I currently own 3 Dell Vostro's they are actually so cheap that I upgrade every single year, and I upgrade the monitor that comes with them. I will explain the benefits to getting a Dell Vostro.

Often Dell holds all sorts of bonuses for buying a Vostro too, they are usually business PCs so Dell will give big discounts on them all the time, because they are manufactured in such a large bulk. What I would recommend is choosing a Vostro and just upgrading the Ram and the Video card, you can do this yourself too, and save a little more money.

Typically a Vostro will cost you Less than $500 (after tax) with a 19 inch monitor which is usually included and free. What I do is every year I upgrade the monitor by a couple more inches, it isn't that expensive about $100 more will get you, if you search online you can also find a free shipping coupon usually, but on a lot of products they offer free shipping if the item is over $500 (Base price.) so typically I recommend people choose between whichever upgrades they deem worthy.

Video Card 512MD Nvidia $90 and Memory $44
Or go for a 23" Monitor which is $90 which may bring you short of the $500 minimum free shipping since shipping does cost a pretty penny usually you might want to just buy the additional Memory which is recommended anyway for $44

For gamers I would recommend getting all 3 upgrades including the monitor, after all you will save on shipping still. With full upgrades this Desktop PC comes to 681.00, there is no real reason to buy a 1gb video card at this time, most computer games don't need them, this 681 includes 4gigs, and the 512mb video card.

For a Gamer this would be the ultimate PC. that will stay good for the next 2 years at the very least, if you only buy the bare minimum and don't buy the video card or the memory, and still won't to game on it, That's still more than possible, these run WoW smoothly even 25 man raids, just you will get system lag at times, and don't expect to run at 30fps during raids, if you get the Video card you will retain 30fps with no problem at all times, though usually it'll actually be 60frames per second. You'll be quite satisfied.

If you don't plan to use this computer as a gaming PC, $409 is a great deal no matter how you look at it. Since it would be business or school, it will do everything you need with no problems. If you take a look at what it comes with and do a break down you will feel as if you are buying it half off

(This is not including the additional memory, video card and upgraded monitor.)
Windows 7 $100-$300
Free Monitor/Keyboard/Mouse/ $160 total
250gig Hard drive - $25
2gigs of memory - $65
1 year warranty - Which is incredible to have, I purchased one, and had an outage once, it fried the computer, it was replaced by Dell. I received a new one in only 3 days.
Computer Processor about $150 would be hard to get it for less.
TOTAL = 500 Before tax, before shipping for each part.

Building your own computer of equal quality would cost you almost 800, you'd still need to buy the case, the motherboard, etc...

You having them build it costs from $409-$681 plus free shipping still cheaper than building it yourself, and the warranties aren't scattered everywhere.

Now here is the FINAL trick if you already have a monitor and don't need one, or if the free one is good enough it will be only $591, also when you receive that monitor you can go sell it on ebay for $80 or more bringing the price down to $511.

Also for those who need just a desktop PC and no monitor you would be looking at getting this PC after all the hard work for only after ebaying the monitor and keyboard/mouse since you already have your own, you are looking at the PC costing around $325. Now that is a nice Price tag for anyone. And most likely an upgrade for a lot of you out there.


Pros: Affordable $409 without upgrades and still comes with everything and it's ready right out of the box.

Cons: No speakers! If you are a gamer though, you already have a headset, or speakers lying around anyway, and if you don't read my article on the speakers!

Logitech Mouse Review

Specific Details:
Logitech G5 Series
Product Number: 831411-1000
PID: LZ648BE

Price Range $30-$50

This mouse has been my choice for gaming for a long time now, I've tried others but I kept going back to this G5 Series model.

Key Points:

A sensitivity increase and decrease button, with 3 different settings, slow, normal speed, and "Shit, too fast." The only time I use the fastest setting is when I played WoW I would use it for PvP and for Raiding as a tank, mage, and lock, for those spells that are instant casts but you need to see your target, you can jump and do a quick 180 with this speed setting.

Another additional thing that comes into play here is the additional button on the mouse located on the left side, you can attach a key stroke, to this, in WoW I'd put an instant cast spell such as, Arcane Barrage, or Fire Blast. If you use this button in conjunction with the fastest speed the mouse provides, you will gain an edge in combat once you begin to master it.

Finally, this is the most important specific of a gamer, it's the adjustable weights, you might not understand why you would put them in there, but it really does make a difference. What they do is help you balance out the mouse and if you put the mouse on a higher speed setting while having the heaviest weights balanced inside the mouse, it will move just a little slower, you will be able to tell the difference, well that is once you are used to it. Personally I put in the heaviest weights and begin to use the fastest setting, this helps quite a bit on FPS(First Person Shooters)

Also just a side note, This mouse comes with a standard rubber wire, it's much more durable, when you'd purchase it you'd understand. I do recommend a wired version. The wireless version dies far too often.

This mouse compared to your standard Dell/HP mice, is just an incredible upgrade.

Hardcore Gamer: 5/5 it will up your game, it may take a little while to get used to though.

Casual Person/Gamer: 3/5 It is still good for other purposes such as artists, for the slower speed, allowing them to be more careful. Though I would not say it's a must have.

The Speakers of Choice for Gamers and a Name You Can Trust

To be clear I am not selling this product, I am only promoting it.

Surround Sound System of choice

Logitech X540 5.1 Channel 5 piece Speaker Set

I purchased these at Best buy for about 80 dollars on sale at the time, I have never looked back and been disappointed.

First, they weren't difficult to setup and it was my first surround sound system also I still use them to this day. I would highly recommend this to be a purchase for both Hardcore Gamers and Casual, you can attach it to your computer, or to your TV. (I happen to use my Computer as a TV with a 23" monitor.)

For some of you out there, If you want to experience the full power and the awesomeness I would actually recommend downloading this Anime Music Video from:
http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members/members_videoinfo.php?v=160388
The Video is Titled Auriga. The high quality music in it is just incredible.

Scroll down to the bottom of the Page Right click on the word "Direct" and Save as, once this video is done downloading, and your speakers are set up you will get to experience this awesomeness of bass, tone, everything. The quality coming out of the speakers is just too good.

Also on a side note for those who have damaged ears.

I actually have damaged my hearing long ago but with Logitech Speakers, I can listen to music at a louder level without causing discomfort. Using sources like the speakers that came with computers or your laptop, aren't anywhere near the same level once you experience using these as a gamer, or as a casual person. You can finally revert to your old habit of being able to listen to music like you used to.

Cons:

I would rate these as a 5/5 for both Hardcore Gamers, and Casual.

Pros:

My only gripe about this product is the short wires on some of the pieces, but you can purchase cords to extend that and usually you will no matter what surround system you purchase anyway.

Faxanadu - Old Nintendo Classic

While reading go ahead and click here while you read so you can listen to the music from the game.

or My favorite
http://208.53.138.111/soundtracks/faxanadu-dragon-slayer-ii-nes-soundtrack/dzbaryehlv/16-ending-theme.mp3

Ahh, Faxanadu.

You start out by meeting the Guru in the church receiving the Ring of Elf, after you get the ring you go kill yourself, then the game actually starts. You'll see the king at the west end of the town and get G: 1500 which will help you purchase you first weapon a hand dagger, 400g, deluge, 400g, a J key, 100g, and a few red potions.

If you thought your finances were tough in life, this game makes it just as hard. After you get out of your first town and head to the next, there will eventually be a shop that sells incredible magic, and a great shield, you will instead of advancing in the storyline to just die countless deaths, will power level for many hours till you eventually have enough money for the "Magic Shield" and "Death".

Faxanadu explains very little as to what your next goals are and how you are to achieve them, how do you get the MATTOCK? HOW DO I USE THE FLYING FEET? this is just an on going battle, you finally figure something new out and you feel GREAT. I still remember making those flying shoes to work, just couldn't even use the item, things are so much harder when you are 9.
Overall this game is very enjoyable to a hardcore gamer who enjoys a challenge, one of those

"You probably won't beat this game." types, most people who beat Ninja Gaiden won't beat Faxanadu even today.

Rated: 4/5 For a Hardcore Gamer who needs a challenge.

For the casual gamers, Don't waste your time at all though, if you want something that isn't as much of a challenge go ahead and play Castlevania. You may at least play it.

Rated: 1/5 For Casual gamers, just leave it alone. The most you might do is put it in to listen to the music. It's got a great music score!
