For many Iphone owners, their main priority once they get their hands on it will be to find a good game to play and some good movies for it. In case you don't know, the Iphone is the spiritual successor to the Ipod. The Iphone's early stages of release have been so popular that many retailers have struggled to keep up with demand.
If you are lucky enough to have gotten an early Iphone (and in many cases it wasn't luck but a willingness to stay up all night outside the Apple store!), you're going to want to get some games and movies for it as quickly as possible. For those of you that can't wait a moment longer, you can simply log into one of the many browser based games with the Iphone's internet connection. These games can be great, if a little limited, so once you've had your fill you're probably ready for the real downloads.
The main thing you need to keep in mind when you are downloading both movies and games for your Iphone, is safety and security for your home computer. The internet can be a pretty hostile place if you stumble into the wrong place. Many people over the last few years have been downloading all kinds of things online, and using the peer to peer or torrent sites as a downloading source. This can seem great at first, but as soon as you download anything from a site like that, you are breaking the law. Not only that, but opening your computer to such a site can really cause problems. Many hackers and malware creators hang around the torrent sites, trying to get their shady files downloaded, so it's altogether better just to stay away.
There is a much safer way to get your download fix online these days-there have recently started to be a few alternatives to downloading from the P2P sites. These sites are modern, regulated and even have dedicated customer support. They work by charging a one off fee for a lifetime membership, and once you are joined you are then able to download as much as you want. That includes all the games and movies you can imagine, plus you will usually find music and TV shows waiting there for you as well. The one off fee is usually something like $50, which represents pretty good value for money I find.
I hope you've found this article useful. Happy downloading!

Gambling for deals
When you enter the world of online gambling the most immediate feeling you will have is probably excitement, you will have no time to explore all your available options but go for the first you can see, deposit some money and wish the best of luck to yourself as you throw the virtual dice or check your poker hole-cards for pocket aces. This might be of great fun to you for a while but later on your might notice how all your friends and other peoples who are more experienced earn more money then you, and you wonder... How do they do it?
This is very easy; they take advantage of special bonus deals set up by online gambling sites. When you sign up at a new site they often hand out “first time deposit bonuses”, you enter a bonus code when you register and you will get a bonus on your first deposit. This is something all poker sites offer, and their offers are really nice. Most sites offer a 100% deposit bonus, for example this is something Full Tilt Poker does. Whatever you deposit at Full Tilt Poker up to $600, you will get a 100% bonus matching it. In reality this means your $600 deposit will give you a $600 bonus, for doing nothing! You just earned 6500 for signing up at the site, isn’t that incredible? You can now go on playing poker at FullTiltPoker.com and have fun knowing that you got $600 doing nothing but started playing at their site.

Freecell Solitaire Strategy Guide
Freecell Solitaire is a highly popular game, made famous by Microsoft. Freecell is included in Windows, and is considered a classic solitaire game by many. Because you can see ALL the cards right from the start, there is no luck involved, making Freecell one of the few solitaire games which is based totally on the player's skill.
Freecell is quite a hard game, but despite that, all deals (except for deal number 11982) are solvable in the 32000 deals in Microsoft's version.
USING FREECELLS WISELY
The key to finishing Freecell is judicious use of the freecells. They should be used as temporary storage- only storing cards in them for a short time to help you move longer sequences around.
For example, suppose you had a column with the following (taken from deal 14396)
5 Hearts
Ace Spades
Ace Hearts
4 Clubs
In this situation, it is okay to move the 4 of Clubs to a freecell, because we know that right after that, we can move the two Aces to the foundation, and then move the 4 of Clubs back from the freecell onto the 5 of Hearts. See how the freecell was only used temporarily?
SAFE MOVES
There are certain moves you can make at any time in Freecell and know it wont "trap" you later on in the game. You can move the Aces (and the twos when they can be played), at any time, as no other cards depend on them. For the other cards, you can safely move them to the foundation if the cards one less in rank, of the opposite color, are already in the foundation. For example, you can safely move the 5 of Diamonds, if the black 4s have already been moved to the foundation.
Better Freecell games will automatically do these safe moves for your, so you can concentrate on the moves that matter, rather than having to manually make inconsequential moves.
THE NEED TO EMPTY COLUMNS
Your first goal in Freecell is to empty a column.
Why is this?
Because an empty column allows you to move longer sequences around. The size of the sequence you can move in Freecell is based on the number of available freecells and empty columns. The more empty freecells and columns you have, the longer the sequence is that you can move.
The formula for how many cards you can move is:
(number of empty freecells + 1) * 2 ^ (num empty columns)
For the less mathematically inclined, here is a table showing how many cards you can move in some different scenarios...
A B C
0 0 1
0 1 2
0 2 3
0 3 4
0 4 5
1 0 2
1 1 4
1 2 6
1 3 8
1 4 10
2 0 4
2 1 8
2 2 12
2 3 16
2 4 20
A:Empty Columns
B:Empty Freecells
C:Card Sequence Length
As you can see, empty columns are particularly valuable, as they allow you to move considerably longer sequences. By the time you have two columns free (particulaly with two or more freecells free), you can move very long sequences, and the game is usually quite easy to complete from there.
HOW TO EMPTY COLUMNS
So what is the easiest way to empty a column?
Start by emptying columns that don't have any Kings in them. A column with a king can't be emptied initially, because there is nowhere for the King to go.
Don't just make moves because you can. Have some mini plan in mind, and only move cards if they help empty the column you are aiming for.
Another popular strategy is just to go straight for releasing the Aces, and then the 2's, etc. This strategy is easier, and requires less thought. It will work for the easier games, but won't help on the hard deals (such as deal 1941)
The most important strategy of all though, is to try and keep the freecells empty. If you can do that, and empty a couple of columns as well, then you should find it very easy to finish the game.

Freecell Solitaire Power Moves Explained
Most people understand the rules for Freecell, but not everyone understands Freecell PowerMoves. Understanding PowerMoves is one of the most important keys to winning Freecell, and knowing how they work will increase your chances of winning Freecell.
A Freecell powermove (also called a supermove), is simply a shortcut move. It lets you move a sequence of cards in one move, instead of doing lots of individual moves.
It isn't a special move though.
It's just a shortcut, to move all the cards in the sequence in one move, rather than several moves using the available freecells and empty columns.
The number of cards you can move in a supermove sequence is based on how many freecells and empty columns are available. Some freecells games implement this incorrectly, and let you move any number of cards in a sequence.
But this is wrong. If you couldn't move the sequence using individual card moves, then you can't move the sequence using a powermove either.
A freecell supermove uses the empty columns and freecells as efficiently as possible, to ensure you can move the maximum number of cards. To work out how many cards can be moved, the following formula is used:
(1 + number of empty freecells) * 2 ^ (number of empty columns)
This is easier to understand by looking at the following chart...
A: Empty Columns
B: Empty Freecells
C: Card Sequence Length
A - B - C
0 - 0 - 1
0 - 1 - 2
0 - 2 - 3
0 - 3 - 4
0 - 4 - 5
1 - 0 - 2
1 - 1 - 4
1 - 2 - 6
1 - 3 - 8
1 - 4 - 10
2 - 0 - 4
2 - 1 - 8
2 - 2 - 12
2 - 3 - 16
2 - 4 - 20
This assumes you are moving the sequence to a non-empty column. If you are moving into an empty column, then the column you are moving into does not count as empty column.
A freecell powermove can always be broken down into several individual moves. Suppose you have 1 empty column, and 1 empty freecell. From the chart above you can see that we can move a sequence of 4 cards. Suppose we want to move 9,8,7,6 sequence onto a 10.
The moves would proceed as follows:
- Move the 6 to the freecell (Now one empty column, no empty freecells)
- Move the 7 to the empty column (Now no empty columns, and no empty freecells)
- Move the 6 onto the 7 (Now no empty columns, and one empty freecell)
- Move the 8 to the freecell (Now no empty columns, and no empty freecells)
- Move the 9 onto the 10 (Now no empty columns, and no empty freecells)
- Move the 8 onto the 9 (Now no empty columns, and one empty freecell)
- Move the 6 to the freecell (Now no empty column, no empty freecells)
- Move the 7 onto the 8 (Now one empty column, and no empty freecell)
- Move the 6 onto the 7 (Now one empty column, and one empty freecell)
So in this example, the powermove has saved us time by allowing us to do 1 move instead of 9.
There are a few things to notice in this example:
- The freecells and empty columns are used temporarily. At the end of the powermove, the number of empty freecells and columns is the same as at the start of the powermove.
- The freecells and empty columns are used as efficiently as possible. There is no way that any more cards could have been moved.
- Only the empty freecells and empty columns were used. Cards in other stacks were NOT used as temporary storage spaces.
This last point is particularly note-worthy. A supermove will only use the freecells and empty columns. It doesn't account for any other cards in the tableau. This means you can often move a longer sequence by breaking doing the moves yourself, or doing several powermoves.
In the example above, if there had been a spare 9 in the tableau with the right color, a much longer sequence could have been moved. The 8,7,6 sequence would be moved onto the other 9 first. Then we could move another 4 cards using a normal powermove (Because we still have an empty column and freecell). So we could now move 9,10,J,Q onto a King, and then move the 8,7,6 onto the 9 again. So by breaking the sequence up into 2 moves, we are able to move a sequence of 7 instead of 4.
Being aware of this short-coming of supermoves will allow you to move longer sequences, which helps a lot in winning some of the harder freecell deals.
The other thing to be aware of with supermoves is how important empty columns are. If you look back to the chart above, you will see that empty columns are very valuable in freecell. Four empty freecells lets you move a sequence of 5 moves, while two empty freecells and two empty columns lets you move a sequence of 12! So try and empty up columns as soon as you can!
A Freecell powermove (also called a supermove), is simply a shortcut move. It lets you move a sequence of cards in one move, instead of doing lots of individual moves.
It isn't a special move though.
It's just a shortcut, to move all the cards in the sequence in one move, rather than several moves using the available freecells and empty columns.

A freecell supermove uses the empty columns and freecells as efficiently as possible, to ensure you can move the maximum number of cards. To work out how many cards can be moved, the following formula is used:

A - B - C
0 - 0 - 1
0 - 1 - 2
0 - 2 - 3
0 - 3 - 4
0 - 4 - 5
1 - 0 - 2
1 - 1 - 4
1 - 2 - 6
1 - 3 - 8
1 - 4 - 10
2 - 0 - 4
2 - 1 - 8
2 - 2 - 12
2 - 3 - 16
2 - 4 - 20

This last point is particularly note-worthy. A supermove will only use the freecells and empty columns. It doesn't account for any other cards in the tableau. This means you can often move a longer sequence by breaking doing the moves yourself, or doing several powermoves.
In the example above, if there had been a spare 9 in the tableau with the right color, a much longer sequence could have been moved. The 8,7,6 sequence would be moved onto the other 9 first. Then we could move another 4 cards using a normal powermove (Because we still have an empty column and freecell). So we could now move 9,10,J,Q onto a King, and then move the 8,7,6 onto the 9 again. So by breaking the sequence up into 2 moves, we are able to move a sequence of 7 instead of 4.
Being aware of this short-coming of supermoves will allow you to move longer sequences, which helps a lot in winning some of the harder freecell deals.
The other thing to be aware of with supermoves is how important empty columns are. If you look back to the chart above, you will see that empty columns are very valuable in freecell. Four empty freecells lets you move a sequence of 5 moves, while two empty freecells and two empty columns lets you move a sequence of 12! So try and empty up columns as soon as you can!

Free Online Games For Microsoft Windows XP Users
When you play online games, you will be connecting to a website via the internet. Individuals who own a computer that runs on Microsoft Windows XP will have a variety of online games programmed into their software, including backgammon, checkers, hearts and more. When logging on, Microsoft users will need to be logged on to Windows as an administrator in order to install components or make changes to your computer system’s settings necessary to run some of the online games.
Many people prefer backgammon as one of their favorite online games. The object of Backgammon is to move all your pieces, or stones, around the board counterclockwise into a home area. From the home area, the pieces must be removed from the game board by exact dice roll. The first person to bear off all their stones will be declared the winner. In Backgammon, you will connect over the internet with your opponent.
Checkers, which is a board game classic, is also one of the most popular online games in existence. The object of checkers is to defeat your opponent by jumping and removing his or her pieces. You can also win by positioning your checkers in such a way that results in blocking your opponent from moving. When playing Checkers online, you will connect over the internet with your opponent.
For the card fanatic, internet hearts is a popular choice among online games. Hearts is a card game with four players, each playing independently. The object of Hearts is to earn as few points as possible during the course of play. When any player reaches 100 points the game ends, at which time the player with the fewest points wins. While playing Hearts online, you will connect over the Internet with your opponents.
Reversi, another of the popular online games pre-installed into MS Windows XP, is a game played on an 8x8 board with black-and-white pieces, or stones. The object is to have more of your color of stones on the board than your opponent. Stones can be reversed from one color to another by surrounding the pieces. The game is over when neither player has any legal moves left. While playing Reversi online, you will connect over the Internet with your opponent.
Another of the popular online games for the card fanatic is known as Spades, which is a partnership card game with two teams of two players each. The object is for you and your partner to bid a contract, then skillfully play your cards in coordination with each other to make the contract. You win when you reach 500 points or force your opponents to drop to a negative 200 point score. As is the case with all other online games, you will connect with your opponents and partner over the internet while playing Spades online.
In order to access games that were pre-installed with your software, click on ‘Start’ and then ‘Programs.’ Next, click on ‘Games’ and then select from the online games that you see available. If you do not see online games listed, this means that none were installed with your software.

Free Online Games - Will The Bubble Burst?
Online games are a new rage on the Internet. Everybody believes that there is a lot to be earned with online games. I wonder how? You develop games, or license them create a website and try to make it popular amongst millions of others. Lot of money and effort is needed to get noticed on the Internet. And after all that you offer free games. Where is the money?
Online games and advertisements - Look at this scenario. A player has arrived to your website. He/she has downloaded a game and begun playing it. Some advertisement banners are running around. Do you expect the player to click on the advertisements or play the games for winning?
Obviously the players are focused on the game and are totally unaware about the rest of the web page. I do not believe they will click on the advertisements. If they do that, it means that your games are not good enough. The other method of getting revenue is subscription based website. With so much of free stuff floating around, why should I visit your paid site, pay you and play? Why should I not save money by searching for free games?
Internet is very deceptive in some ways. Most of the people believe that if one subject is very popular there is lot of money in that. But this just is not true. Money does not come from popularity of the subject. For getting, money, you have to make people pay. for that your content has to be extremely unique, your advertising expense huge and your running cost quite big. If after that you make money, you should consider yourself lucky.

Free Online Games
So it’s another lonely day at the office, when you really just sit around and do nothing. You’re on a corporate PC that has everything locked – no music, no movies, nothing. All you have is your web browser and you want to download free games. Don’t despair, there is a way.
With the evolution of flash technology, games are now available in your web browser. All you have to do is type in playedonline.com and voila – endless arcade game entertainment. Most addictive online games are usually strategy games, as they eat up your time by making you think – not just do mindless button mashing. Is that a good thing? Probably. It sure beats degrading yourself with pointless shooters (but those are also fun).
The most popular game on playedonline is Tetris. And make no mistake, Tetris isn’t dead. It’s just one of those games that’s so addictive, you can spend countless hours trying to beat your previous record. And while it seems like a pointless arcade game, it actually demands as much thought as a strategy game – but with very limited reaction time.
There are also more complex games, such as Invasion 3. This game allows you to build and upgrade soldiers and archers. You can create battering rams, call in the cavalry and use bombers and cannons to destroy the enemy castle. Lots of fun, but demands a fair amount of strategy involved.
If you’re the medieval type of guy, there’s always a game called Age of Castles. It literally allows you to build your own castle. You recruit workers that do the actual building, train soldiers that defend your sanctuary and get merchants to start trading, expanding and conquering the world.
But as games tend to get more and more… simple, the most interesting games are usually not what you would expect. Two years ago a game called “Penguin Swing” came out. It was an incredible hit. All you do is press a single button 2 times. First you press it to let the penguin drop down, and while he falls, you have to time your swing and slam him with a bat so that he flies to the side of the screen. Depending on your timing, his “flight” distance will differ. The trick is to get the longest distance possible. Another trick is to land him on various boosts that make him fly even further. This game doesn’t have much interaction at all, so after 2 clicks you just hope to get the longest distance. But hey, it’s entertaining to slam a penguin with a bat and see how long he flies.
Overall free online games are great entertainment, both for killing time and stress.

FPS - First Person Shooter Games
Among the biggest sellers in online PC games are FPS, or First Person Shooter, games.
Kids love 'em. So do most Dads.
Many moms think the level of violence is too high and too graphic, so Dad and the kids play them when she is not looking.
FPS games are centered on you, the player, from your point of view. Armed with various handheld weapons, you might be called on to thwart the invasion of Earth by aliens or to stop a Nazi advance in WWII. As a player, you interact directly with the game environment from your own perspective.
FPS games evolved in the late 1990s as PCs became powerful enough to render the 3D graphics in real time. These are way beyond the arcade shooters from Space Invaders on up.
Several sub-genres of FPS have distinguished themselves:
* tactical - most have a military motif
* stealth - avoiding detection by opponents is a major element
* run and gun - among the most popular with multiple enemies and fast-paced action
* real-time strategy (RTS) - able to give commands to other units and control the strategy
* first person adventure (FPA) - free roaming adventure which takes one to the edge, like the controversial series Grand Theft Auto
Most FPS games take graphics to a new level of realism while exaggerating the attributes of the player. You now likely have muscles and strength that make Arnold look like a girlie-man.
Kids and adults alike love the frantic blasting of enemies within the context of heroic storylines.
While FPS games are demanding on your reflexes, they are also demanding on your PC. You will definitely have a need for speed, as well as a good graphics card and a decent set of speakers. The demands of gamers have pushed the PC industry to make better desktop computers for all.
The next big shift - with broadband Internet service now in millions of homes worldwide - will be the delivery of the latest FPS game to your PC via streaming download instead of CD. As more gamers accept online streaming delivery of the game itself, costs should come down over time as the game developers turn to online delivery and bypass the CD/DVD publishers and retailers in the supply chain.
For the game developers, online delivery of FPS games represents an opportunity to open up a new market of gamers who would be willing to try FPS online, but who never visit EB Games, the Electronics Boutique, or other game retailers in the mall.
For those who want to try/demo any number of FPS games, I recommend the Triton player. This streaming download allows you to begin play well before the entire download is completed. You can even demo recent releases like Prey from 3D Realms.
You can register free and download the player at: http://www.playtriton.com
As long as there are heroes and villains, and kids with vivid imaginations, there will be a place for FPS games when the aliens come calling.

Flash opens new windows and opportunities for game designers
Flash is an interactive platform that has a powerful design and animation tool along with a dynamic scripting engine, bitmap rendering, as well as advanced video and audio playback. There are three main aspects: the player, the file format, and the authoring tool/IDE. Flash games can be developed for websites, interactive TV, as well as handheld devices. There is no need to adopt multiple programming languages to build games.
It is the universal tool that permits the development of multimedia driven complex games. Games means fast, furious, efficient with rich graphics.
Flash enables developers to build the most popular games for online gamers. It just needs to support:
• Rich engaging graphics.
• Smooth download of files from the net.
• A playback device that can interpret downloads.
There are three main areas: design, development, and hosting.
The first step is creation of graphics. One must use Fireworks as well as Freehand for this aspect. The tools are compatible and fireworks allows the addition of Java script to images.
The game development will be done in Flash by importing graphics created in Freehand and Fireworks. The graphics are then placed in Director the parent tool of Flash.
The next part, hosting, uses a Web server. Dreamweaver MX is the tool that will create Web pages to host the game.
And, finally Action Script is used to provide enhanced functionality.
Advantages:
• Integrates almost all features needed for developing a game. It is a great interactive tool.
• Can be used anywhere does not need additional software or plug ins.
• It is Mac friendly.
• Permits conversion from a full game to web version and vice versa.
• Low cost and free to distribute. Licenses for decoders MP3 and Sorensen Spark are included.
• Artists that can use flash easily are in plenty.
• Flash delivers broadcast quality images over the Internet.
• Permits embedding of game in power point for use in presentations.
• Plenty of information as well as guidelines can be accessed as well as understood by all –tutorials, articles, as well as blogs.
• The size of the game file remains small as the vector graphics and sound files are compressed.
• Learning Flash language is easy.
• Permits copy-paste to test components
There are traps one must be wary of and a few cons. Know the system well to maximize its use. There are plenty of tutorials inline that can be used as guides. Flash interface is ideally suited to both designer as well as developer, you can have fun while creating the game.
Flash is simple to use and a game can be developed in a few hours in a packaged form that can run on a PC, Mac, or Linux. One can make use of a browser or run the game as a stand alone.

Flash Games
Macromedia Flash arrived in 1996, and was initially designed to add animation and interactivity to otherwise largely media free websites. However, it wasn't long before developers began to realise the potential of the software, and added functionality became available with each iteration.
In the beginning, the focus was more on animation, as primitive scripting allowed little in the way of interactivity. However, with the introduction of ActionScript in version 5, Flash became a strong platform for developing simple web-based games. This transition from basic animation and user interaction to full-blown scripting was a huge step for developers, and allowed sophisticated web-based applications and interactive games possible.
By 2001, Flash games began appearing on websites everywhere, and whilst early attempts were primitive and tended to focus on remakes of arcade classics such as Asteroids and Tempest, they remained highly popular amongst the online community. Despite their initial popularity, Flash games were known as little more than addictive time-fillers, perfect to whittle away ten minutes at work.
However, even with the basic tools in place, developers were coming up with a wide variety of Flash based games. Platform remakes of favorites such as Sonic the Hedgehog and Mario Brothers were highly popular, and the improving graphic capabilities allowed for much more immersing game play. Although PC and console games had little to worry about in terms of competition, Flash games were already an integral part of many online communities. The integration of Flash arcades into popular forum software led to vast competition between members of small and large communities alike. It wasn't a case of wasting five or ten minutes anymore, it was about coming top on the scoreboard!
There were still problems though, particularly with performance on lower specification machines. As Flash was not designed to run games in particular, it was inevitably not that quick or smooth running on some machines, which inhibited many action games. That was all set to change significantly with the next version.
With the release of Flash MX in 2004 came ActionScript 2.0, which allowed greater control over Flash applications, and featured improved data and media handling. Although most genres had already been explored, from arcade to first person shooters to racing games, the best was yet to come. The recent integration of improved data handling allowed many game developers to implement levels and scoreboards much more effectively, thus adding to the appeal.
Since 2004, Flash games have come on in leaps and bounds, and are hardly recognizable from the slow, blocky titles released just a few short years ago. The level of sophistication continues to develop, and whilst it will be a long while before something groundbreaking is released, there are already many classic Flash games already available on the web. Titles such as 'Stick Cricket', 'Bejeweled' and 'Yeti Sports' are all immensely popular, and attract thousands of visitors each day. The playability and execution of a simple idea make these Flash games some of the most popular ever released.
The sites that offer these free games are also changing; the public do not have to visit individual sites (such as the authors website) to find new games, instead developers are submitting their games to massive "flash games" websites – sites that offer 1000's of games for free – one such example is www.itsall3.com – a site with free games, and free funny videos for your mobile phones (3gp videos).
What are the benefits to developers submitting their games to such massive collections of games? These arcade sites receive 1000's of visitors a day, so developers game get more hits – there's no bandwidth costs as the sites host the games, and there's always a link in the game back to the developers website if needed.
These enthusiasts are not too dissimilar from the back bedroom programmers of the early 1990's. Many young developers thrived upon the availability of programming languages such as BASIC, and the more recent arrival of Flash sparked the same levels of creativity and inspiration. Although Flash contains more scripting than actual programming, the underlying appeal of being able to create your own games (relatively) easily has been a major part of its success.
Perhaps Adobe/Macromedia will lean towards the game creation side in the future, or perhaps the focus will always be on animation and the development of web-based applications. Either way, there is no doubting that Flash games have become an integral part of the web and are set to stay for the foreseeable future. With the next version in the pipeline, it will be interesting to see what the next generation of Flash games have in store.

Flash Casinos and their purpose in current times
Flash based online casinos have a distinct purpose to serve on the internet yet from numerous informal inquiries this writer concludes that in many cases the flash casino is not properly used to satisfy the need for which they are most currently necessary.
It is true they were first designed so that there would be no need to download anything to your PC.This was necessary because back in the days when flash casinos first arrived upon the virtual gambling scene the download version of many online casinos was just too big of a file to merit keeping more than one casino on the home PC. The coming of the flash games changed the need for so much room to be available. In fact to play the flash games you didn't need to download anything at all.
A common misconception about flash casinos is that they are faster than the download version. This is simply not true and in fact the download version (once loaded onto your PC which takes less than five minutes on my connection) is as fast as anything this writer has seen on the net. Flash casinos do need to download certain aspects of their games onto your PC although they may not make that perfectly clear because it all goes away when you close down the game. The point I'm making is that it takes time for these aspects to load onto your PC and this is a process which is repeated every time you change games or if you have to re-open the game you're currently playing because flash games are known to lose connection though this has been less of a problem in current times.
In any case the flash games are going to take considerably longer than the downloaded version in terms of loading (by that and they are also slower in returning game results. and only offer you half the amount of choices. A good general rule of thumb is whatever amount of games are in the download version there will be about sixty-percent of those available in the flash casino.
The actual time difference between going through the process to be able to play in the flash casino and the process to be able to play in the download version is about five minutes on a DSL or broadband connection.
What then is so important about flash casinos if they are not faster and can provide only about half the variety of the download? Convenience my friends. Although the flash casino is not as attractive for reasons already mentioned, it becomes ever so much more when the next choice is not playing at all. It is very hard to carry your PC with you at all times but if all you need to have available is your login and password and a means to access the net, then the prospect of gambling at your favorite online casino while away from your home becomes a very tangible option that many people take full advantage. This is the true manner in which the flash casino is valuable in these times because very few PCs are so stressed for space they can't easily afford the room to have a downloaded casino or even more than one.
It is true they were first designed so that there would be no need to download anything to your PC.This was necessary because back in the days when flash casinos first arrived upon the virtual gambling scene the download version of many online casinos was just too big of a file to merit keeping more than one casino on the home PC. The coming of the flash games changed the need for so much room to be available. In fact to play the flash games you didn't need to download anything at all.
A common misconception about flash casinos is that they are faster than the download version. This is simply not true and in fact the download version (once loaded onto your PC which takes less than five minutes on my connection) is as fast as anything this writer has seen on the net.

Finding Your Identity in Online Games
As of today, there are dozens of Massively-Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games (MMOPRG’s) slated for release or in beta. It is hard to decide on which online game to play. And most of us don’t have the time or money to play more then one game at a time. With all the competition, software companies need to come up with more creative ways of distinguishing themselves from each other and retaining their player base.
After all the hype from the initial release of a game subsides, what keeps players engaged in the virtual world? For one thing, the game has to be fun and must continue to be fun. Beyond that, the players need to have a sense of ownership – they need to have a tangible connection and personal investment in their online world.
Online games are an extension of our real life. What keeps us happy in the real world will often translate to what keeps us happy in the virtual world of a game. We like to feel special and have the ability to express ourselves in our own unique way. We also enjoy the freedom to choose of what we do with our possessions and time.
The latest online role-playing games let you tweak a multitude of physical including hair color and style, facial characteristics, height, weight, age, and gender. This lets players create a unique, one-of-a-kind avatar that defines them in the virtual world.
As voice chat is becoming more common in online games, players are feeling a need to customize the sound of their voice. These gamers may have spent a long time customizing the look of their avatars, why not have voices to match? Voice-changing products like MorphVOX from Screaming Bee allow these players to have a unique voice that matches their in-game character, whether they choose to be a mighty giant or space adventurer.
Opportunities to improve a character’s abilities or skills are an important feature of an online game. Just as in real world, people like to have the option of changing their lot in life through self-improvement. Between gaining skills and “leveling-up”, their online character continues to grow and improve.
A game with variety of loot and goodies is a big draw for gamers. Much of the excitement and interest in online games stems from the opportunity to discover new and cool treasure. People will literally spend hours and days of their real life “camping” spots on the virtual world of a game to find the latest and greatest loot or treasure.
Having a place to call home is no different in an online world. Players appreciate games that offer player housing. Customizable player housing can be so important that the people will continue to pay monthly fees for a game that they’ve stopped playing in order to keep a house that they worked so hard to acquire. They may often trade property to other players for exorbitant virtual or real dollars.
Interdependence on other players keeps people engaged in games because they have a tangible purpose or role in the virtual world. Some choose to be merchants who sell various goods, such as food, clothing, and weapons to other players. In return they barter for money or goods. Others can choose to be part of a guild, working for a common purpose or hunting together in larger groups.
Online gamers will often form long-lasting friendships as a result of their time in these vibrant virtual societies. You may see the same players move from virtual world to virtual world as the latest online game is released. And in the real world, these same people will choose to spend time together and support each other in both good and bad times.

Customizable Characters
One of the most important aspects of a game is being able to customize the in-game character. Having a unique avatar or graphical representation helps players stand out. It is a key element that defines the identity of a player.The latest online role-playing games let you tweak a multitude of physical including hair color and style, facial characteristics, height, weight, age, and gender.

Possessions
Another way to customize character in game is providing a variety of clothing and possessions. Just as someone can look and dress a certain way in real life, their character in game should have the option to wear variety of clothes. Unique clothing combinations provide a form of self-expression, define your character’s style and allow people to find you in a crowded tavern or spaceport. And depending one’s mood, it is nice to have a variety of outfits to wear for in game hunts or special events.A game with variety of loot and goodies is a big draw for gamers.

They may often trade property to other players for exorbitant virtual or real dollars.
Different Roles for Different Folks
Just as in real life, gamers need a purpose. After some time, all the leveling-up and acquiring new possessions can lose its luster. Online games offer professions, player driven economy, and guilds to provide players with roles and, moreover, a way of creating a virtual society.Interdependence on other players keeps people engaged in games because they have a tangible purpose or role in the virtual world. Some choose to be merchants who sell various goods, such as food, clothing, and weapons to other players. In return they barter for money or goods.

And in the real world, these same people will choose to spend time together and support each other in both good and bad times.
Going Beyond the Virtual World
The success of an online game in developing ownership can be measured by its ability to go beyond the confines of the virtual world into the personal life of a gamer. Online games haven’t isolated people as some people may argue. They instead have enriched the lives of the many players who have invested time and energy into these rich worlds.Saturday, March 5, 2011

Farming Ice Giants for EverQuest Plat
The Ice Giants of Everfrost are a very good source of Platinum. The Ice Giants are mid to high 40 Levels. They have around 3-4K HP or so. They can hit around 114 and they triple hit and duel wield. They are warriors. There are 3 of them that guard the entrance to Permafrost. The camps are referred to as North, South, and Back. Camp names can very from server to server. They can be duo'd by a few mid to low lvl 40's full group of high thirties, or soloed by 45+ for the soloing classes. They can be good source of Xp at lvl 45 and under. They are light blue by the time you reach mid 50's.
These Ice Giants are Blue and look as though they are made of Ice. They drop fine steel weapons, gems, pages, and various pieces of junk jewelry. Combined with what they drop and the pure Platinum,Gold,Siver,and Copper that they drop: they range in net worth of 2-70pp per kill.
Many times these may be camped already by other people. But if you do a camp check and find out who is camping they will usually be more then happy to send you a tell before they leave so you can take over the camp. Politeness always gets you a camp, sooner or later. Casting a few beneficial buffs on the persons camping earns browning points too. =) Another near by source of Platinum while you wait for a camp are the Woolly Mammoths that roam around Everfrost. Their Tusk go to vendors for around 9PP each and sometimes they drop 2 of them. So if you wait around for a camp whooly mammoths are a good way to keep busy and make some plat in your waiting time. The spawn time of the Ice Giants is about 5 minutes. So if you kill them in 60 seconds then you will be able too kill about 11-12 an hour. So you can easily get 300-800pp an hour here. These camps are great for if you can't be on a raid because of going afk frequently and such. After you kill your spawn you can go afk for 4 minutes and come back in time to see the spawn
The Easiest way to get to the Ice Giants is to get to Everfrost by the Halas Stone in the Plane of Knowledge. It's found through the gate behind and to the left of the Nexus Stone. The Halas stone will take you to Everfrost near the Halas zone line. It is a safe stone for all races/classes. Once you are in in Everfrost you will be facing the PoK Book. Right from the book as you are facing it. You will come to a 'Y' in the path take the path on the right of the 'Y' don't take the path on the very far Right though. Then you just stay on the path and you will past two Halas Guards and a wolf. If you are evil you can invis past or Run way up high on the mountain past them. Then you just stay to the left of the zone line the entire way to PF. You will pass 2 ice rivers and then eventually come to a big Brick Fort. This is where the Ice Giants are located there are two guards one on the left and one on the right just inside the fort. They are far enough apart that you can pull them separately. Down the Hall past those two is the 'Back' camp. The giants spawns in an area on the right. This Hall leads to the Permafrost zone line.
Before you head to your camp be sure that you have all your slots filled with Backpacks, or even better 10 Slot handmade back backs. This way you can loot till your hearts content. Also, you will get Encumbered while you are here. Destroy your copper on a regular basis to cut down on weight issues. But after a few hours it won't matter anymore as you become snared by the loot you are hoarding. It's truly wonderful. And also remember to bring food and drink as you will be at the camp for several hours. Happy Hunting and remember: the Only good Ice Giant is a Dead ONE!

Farming Arcanist Doan With Hunter
I’ve previously posted an article to farming Arcanist Doan. Well here is an upgraded version using a hunter and a mage. This strategy is much more effective but requires 2 players. You're both required to be at least level 54 or if you’re well geared and think you’re an awesome player then probably level 50 should work fine.
To start, enter through Scarlet Monastery library side. The mage needs to enter first and make yourself through the mobs. The mage is good because you can blink around them. You can easily teleport from one side of a mob to another mob with your blink ability. Once you've received Arcanist Doan you'll need to wait for the hunter to get through.
The hunter starts little bit after the mage starts. Once you've entered, turn on your aspect of monkey. It will help you dodge enemy strikes oftenly. When you get some mobs on you, just run through and feign death. That’s it, they're all are cheated and you can wait for cool down and make your way through the guards again until you get to Arcanist Doan. Killing Arcanist Doan should be a piece of cake with two players. Just be sure to avoid detonation when he casts it. As mentioned on the previous guide, flee back before he casts and charge back at him when hes over. One of you should be an enchanter to maximize your profits.
He drops 2 blue items, which disenchants in shard that could be sold for 6 gold pieces each, its about 12 gold per one run. Blizzard created an anti-instance farming system that only allows you to do 5 runs per hour, which is equivalent to 60 gold. Divide that with your friend and you’ll still get a good 30 gold pieces for yourself. The previous guide listed with the Rogue can get you about 20 gold pieces per hour. This one is 33% more effective.
