What You Need | to Take on Heroics | in WoW
One of the hardest things to do in World of Warcraft is complete heroic instances and raids. Available only after you reach the level cap, heroics and raids allow you to show off your skills with your guild. They require you to have high-level gear, usually rare or epic, a team of players who know how to play their roles and classes, and a whole lot of time to practice each and every possible strategy. So what do you need before you go on a heroic run? Let's take a closer look.
The Right Gear
First on the list is gear. Despite what Blizzard has said in the past, gear is still a very important part of raiding and running instances. However the exact definition of what’s required has changed quite a bit over the years. For example, when Cataclysm was released, a lot of the new stats that had been added over the last five years were either removed or simplified. Things like armor penetration, spell power, and the overly complicated mana system were changed or removed to make it easier for new players to get into the game.
So what do you need before you can run a heroic instance? To start with you should have a full set of blue gear. Usually you will get this gear by completing all of the normal instances between level 80 and 85. However, if this is too much, you can also pay for them in the auction house or look for people in trade chat to buy them from. Either way, you need to make sure you have enough blue gear on hand before you step foot into a heroic instance, otherwise you’ll just cause problems for your guild.
A Guild with Skill
The next major step in preparing for heroics in World of Warcraft is to find a good guild with players who'll spend a lot of time practicing and preparing before going into these instances. Using the dungeon finder is one thing when you're running normal instances at level 81, but when you reach level 85 and want to run heroic instances, you need people who know how to play their role successfully for an entire instance. This is especially true when you start running raids at level 85.
You probably won't find a high-level guild right away, but if you find a good guild and practice a lot, eventually you’ll get into a guild that will help you combat some of the hardest bosses and newest instances in the game as they are released.
Heroic instances are one of the most fun aspects of WoW, but they aren't easy. It takes time, preparation, and a good team before you'll be ready to take on these high-level bosses. So start practicing now so you can eventually enjoy all the great things that World of Warcraft has to offer when you reach the end of the game. Read more...

How to Make | the Most Money | in FarmVille
FarmVille is a great place to go to escape the rigors of everyday life. You can get back to nature and enjoy the peace and tranquility that comes from working on the land. However, not everything in FarmVille is an escape from the ordinary. You still need money for just about everything you do. You have to buy the seeds to plant, and you'll even have to pay a small sum for each plot of land you plow.
These costs are easily managed of course because you're harvesting and selling your crops for more than it cost to plant them. There are a lot of other items you can buy in the FarmVille market to decorate and build up your farm, and you won't be able to get these without some significant sums of cash. Buying these items will also get you some much needed experience points to help you advance to the next level, so you'll have to find a way to make sure you have enough money for all the discretionary items you want to buy.
Earnings Per Hour
Because you'll be needing your coins for so much in FarmVille, you need to maximize the earning potential of your farm. The best way to do this is to figure out which crops pay out the most coins per hour. For example, strawberries sell for 35 coins per plot of land harvested and they take 4 hours to grow. Pumpkins, on the other hand, take 8 hours to grow and sell for 68 coins per plot of land harvested.
That means, for the same acreage planted, you'll earn 8.75 coins per hour by planting strawberries, while the pumpkins will only get you 8.5 coins per hour. This may seem like a small difference, but these small amounts can add up fast. Of course, you won't be getting your money's worth unless you can harvest the crops as soon as they're ready and immediately replant on that land.
A Quick Turnaround
If you're not going to be able to get back to your farm for 8 hours, you're much better off planting the pumpkins. The longer you leave a crop after it's done maturing, the less you'll be getting per hour once you harvest it. You can only make money fast on crops that mature quickly if you're going to be able to harvest and replant as soon as they're ready for sale. Make sure you take these details into consideration when you're selecting your seeds at the Market, and you'll be seeing your bank account swelling in no time. Read more...

Building | a Truly Epic | Gold Stash | in World of Warcraft
If you ask 100 players in World of Warcraft what thing they would like to do most, most of them would say make more gold. What is it about this shiny little metal that gets so many players excited? Likely it’s all the amazing things you can buy with it – from the epic mounts to the high-level gear and consumables needed to run the highest level raids.
So what exactly do you need to build your own truly epic gold stash? There are a few tricks you can use but mostly you just need to be smart about how you spend your gold and more importantly how you spend your time.
Using the Auction House
First on the list is the auction house. The auction house is by far the best way to make gold in World of Warcraft. It may seem boring at first, but if you think about it the auction house is very similar to the stock market in the real world. If you know what you're doing, have enough gold to get started, and are willing to spend a lot of time researching and learning about different items in the game you can make a ton of gold in very little time.
Now compare that to how most people make gold. They spend hours running around, farming on everything from herbs to ore to skins and beyond. In reality there is a cap on how much gold you can make using these methods. If you try to make gold solely from farming, you can make anywhere from 400 to 1000 gold per hour. But why stop there?
With the auction house you can actually make thousands of gold per hour and not actually spend any extra time playing the game. For sure time is needed to set it up and even more time will be spent checking in on your investments and reading up on the most recent news in the game, but after two or three weeks you can spend as little as 20 or 30 minutes in the auction house and make thousands of gold a day.
Getting the Right Tools
To use the auction house successfully, you need the right tools. This means getting add-ons for your World of Warcraft UI including Auctioneer, Market Watcher, Postal, and a couple other tools that may be useful to you. Exactly how you set up your auction house UI depends largely on what you prefer, but regardless of your preference you'll find that there are a lot of ways to make gold that don't require you to spend hundreds of hours each week farming.
In fact you can even pay other people to farm for you and make money off their work. The bottom line is this – if you're a smart player and invest time now you'll eventually be able to do pretty much anything you want in World of Warcraft with a big stash of gold.

What You Need | to Take on Heroics | in WoW
One of the hardest things to do in World of Warcraft is complete heroic instances and raids. Available only after you reach the level cap, heroics and raids allow you to show off your skills with your guild. They require you to have high-level gear, usually rare or epic, a team of players who know how to play their roles and classes, and a whole lot of time to practice each and every possible strategy. So what do you need before you go on a heroic run? Let's take a closer look.
The Right Gear
First on the list is gear. Despite what Blizzard has said in the past, gear is still a very important part of raiding and running instances. However the exact definition of what’s required has changed quite a bit over the years. For example, when Cataclysm was released, a lot of the new stats that had been added over the last five years were either removed or simplified. Things like armor penetration, spell power, and the overly complicated mana system were changed or removed to make it easier for new players to get into the game.
So what do you need before you can run a heroic instance? To start with you should have a full set of blue gear. Usually you will get this gear by completing all of the normal instances between level 80 and 85. However, if this is too much, you can also pay for them in the auction house or look for people in trade chat to buy them from. Either way, you need to make sure you have enough blue gear on hand before you step foot into a heroic instance, otherwise you’ll just cause problems for your guild.
A Guild with Skill
The next major step in preparing for heroics in World of Warcraft is to find a good guild with players who'll spend a lot of time practicing and preparing before going into these instances. Using the dungeon finder is one thing when you're running normal instances at level 81, but when you reach level 85 and want to run heroic instances, you need people who know how to play their role successfully for an entire instance. This is especially true when you start running raids at level 85.
You probably won't find a high-level guild right away, but if you find a good guild and practice a lot, eventually you’ll get into a guild that will help you combat some of the hardest bosses and newest instances in the game as they are released.
Heroic instances are one of the most fun aspects of WoW, but they aren't easy. It takes time, preparation, and a good team before you'll be ready to take on these high-level bosses.

Do You Really | Need a Guide | For FarmVille?
I consider myself to be relatively well educated in the latest generation of social networking site games like Mafia Wars, Vampire Wars, and such. That's why when I started to see these FarmVille guides popping up all over the place I was kind of surprised. I mean, I can see why people might need some tips to get going in games like Mafia Wars, but FarmVille?
At this point though I hadn't actually played the game, but I didn't really think it could be all that complicated. I figured I should give it a shot though, just so that I could say I knew what I was talking about. And I was in for a rather big surprise. In no time, I was out of money and had no crops to plant. I have to admit, there way more to this game than I had anticipated.
I eventually managed to dig myself out of my original hole and out of the red, but I still wasn't making all that much progress. I started to think that maybe I needed to see what these guides were all about. I wasn't really expecting much, but since I hadn't done so well on my own either, I figured it was worth a shot.
So I picked up a guide called FarmVille Champ , and was pleasantly surprised by the tips I found in it. You wouldn't think there were so many ways you could screw up a virtual farm, but believe me, you can. I was still stumbling along at level 6 when I got the guide after 2 weeks of playing regularly. Now I'm the proud owner of a plantation and a level 26 Sultan of Soil. And I still look back at my guide from time to time. If you're having trouble getting into the swing of things in FarmVille, this guide is not a bad investment. Read more...

World of Warcraft | The Straight Dope | Straight From The Shoulder
Since the launch of World of Warcraft, the Manaview team has worked hard to create quality addons that provide immense value to the community. In the last year alone they’ve developed three new addons: Tycoon, Edge, and Impulse. That’s along with the first ever ingame leveling guide, Booster.
Priced separately, these products are a great value. You can level a character to 85 in a little over 4 days played, make up to 30,000g a day, learn the absolute best strategies for your class, and become a pro keybinder from the ground up.
Normally you’d buy these addons one at a time for a total price of $168. But right now you can get one comprehensive product – the Manaview WoW Addon Suite – for $127, a savings of $41 (almost 3 months of WoW!) and 25%.
As a special experiment since my guild is pretty much done with Firelands content and I’ve got some time on my hands, I thought I’d start a completely new character on a new server to conduct a real test of the Manaview Suite.
Here’s the rules I set for myself: I’d play a class I didn’t know very well (Mage – what can I say, I like melee!), started at level 1 on a new server with no heirlooms, no guild, no gold – nothing to help me along whatsoever.
Basically I wanted to answer these questions:
- How long does it take to get to 85 with Booster and no XP boost?
- How much gold can I make along the way with Tycoon?
- Can I really learn to play (and maybe enjoy…) a mage in dungeons and PVP with Edge?
- And can I learn the optimal keybinds for that mage with Impulse?
That was a couple months ago, and I’m happy to say I’ve completed the experiment. So how did it go?
Booster (Can you really get to 85 in 4 days played with no heirlooms?)
My final time ended up being 5 days, 3 hours, and 53 minutes played since I started the character. That wasn’t just spent leveling, so keep that in mind. I also had some time in the Auction House and in dungeons and battlegrounds as I leveled up.
Booster is still pretty flawless at leading you through the best possible quests, though I do kinda wish there was a way to automatically jump forward a bit in the guide if I gained a couple levels from a dungeon or something. Still, I’m almost certain I could cut that down to 4 days played or even less if all I did was quest according to the guide.
Tycoon (Can you really make 30,000g in one day?)
I lucked out in randomly choosing a server, because I got one with a pretty crazy economy. I made a ton of gold off of Copper Ore right off the bat. I took Mining and Herbalism and used the Gathering module in Tycoon so I could see any close node spawns while I was leveling. I think by the time I was level 20 I already had 5,000 gold.
It took me a while to get up to where I was making gold consistently every day. At least more than 1,000g per day. Once you get into Outlands, those materials sell pretty well. High-end Azeroth stuff, too. I almost wish I’d taken Enchanting so I could cash in on the disenchant mats, but I think I would’ve wasted some gold leveling it.
Did I make 30,000g in one day? No. The most I made in one day was about 7k. But I was also leveling and learning a new class while I did it. I didn’t want to skew the Booster numbers, so I didn’t spent too much time actively gathering. So for what little I was able to put in? I’d say the 45k I’ve got on my mage in total right now is pretty damn good.
Edge (Can a caster noob actually learn to play a mage well?)
Yeah, yeah. I know. I’m a melee player at heart and I probably always will be. Casting just doesn’t feel as… visceral for me. But with this mage, I knew I wanted to give it a good, honest try. I wanted to be able to top DPS meters in dungeons and hold my own in PVP.
Quite frankly, I couldn’t have done that without Edge. That addon was a godsend, seriously. It handed me the specs I needed for dungeons (arcane) and PVP (frost) and told me how to play them. It took me some time to get the hang of it, and I know in PVP especially I screwed up the strategy at the beginning, but I’m confident in saying I’m not a complete noob anymore.
I’ve only taken my mage into one raid, and unfortunately we didn’t get too far since people had to leave. But I was up in the top 5 for DPS in a 25 man, and my gear isn’t all that great. As for heroics, I’ve gotten to where I can pretty much bust up any chart unless there’s a heroic raid geared hunter or another mage in there. I can’t say I’m a PVP superstar yet, but I think that’s a me problem, not an Edge problem.
Impulse (Can the right keybinds make a dramatic difference in gameplay?)
This one is hard to document because I used Impulse from the very beginning to learn the “right way.” If I try to go back to clicking now, I just can’t do it. I feel like I am faster because of it. I don’t think I’d stand a chance in PVP if I was trying to click abilities that weren’t familiar to me.
I mean, imagine me standing there reading the tooltip on something while some rogue comes up and shivs me from behind.
I started playing on an arena team with a couple friends I made on the server. I don’t have a lot of resilience yet, so I admit I can die pretty quick. But when there’s a clicker on the other team? It doesn’t seem to matter how crappy my gear is. I can outclass them and maneuver a hell of a lot faster than they can.
So all in all? I think my experiment was a HUGE success. I still love melee, but I’m pretty happy with my shiny new mage, considering I started at such a disadvantage. All of that was made up in no time using the Manaview products.
Here’s the kicker, too: I bought all of these addons separately. I think I even paid a little more for Booster, since it’s currently a pretty low price on its own. Can you imagine saving 25% on all of these products? It’s a serious steal.
I mean, for a little over $100 you can load up your account with powerhouse characters and tons of gold. You just can’t beat that. If you’re serious about improving your WoW experience, you NEED to pick up the Manaview WoW Addon Suite today before this offer is gone.

Modern Warfare 3 | You're Going To Love It |
One of the most anticipated games of the year is set to be the most epic
Call of Duty game ever, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 will deliver a
multiplayer experience which aims to increase the intensity by focusing
on a fast-paced, gun versus gun combat, together with innovative
features that supports and enhances the different styles of play. In
Modern Warfare 3’s new multiplayer system, the player can
describe the experience through Infinity Ward’s masterfully
engineered Strike Packages and Weapon Proficiency Systems, enabling
them to play one of the most intense multiplayer battles available.
Modern Warfare 3 has been rated M for “Mature” by
the ESRB because of heavy violence, blood and gore, drug reference, and
rough languages. Parents should take notice of these because this game
is not intended for minors. The intensity of the game in Modern Warfare
3 has been increased due to some enhancement in graphics quality. The
look, touch and texture of the image has been improved and polished,
weapons looked more realistic and shadows casts accurately.
From Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Modern Warfare 3 franchises
introduced some cool features which have been modified and upgraded in
the latter game. Since that they have upgraded and improved the Modern
Warfare Elite server, more and more players will likely to convey on
this game and experience hardcore first-person shooting game. The
online server will be more user-friendly and will show heatmaps which
is great news for players who hated the migrated sessions. In the
multiplayer game, they added the survival mode which will blow your
brains away when you play. The intensity in the survival mode is so
high that you might even destroy your mouse in the process.
Those who have attended the Call of Duty XP event went home with smiles
reaching their ears and singing the game’s praises! They have
been witness to a more stable and reliable graphics display. The
game’s pace in action starts running at 60 fps or frames per
second which could be smooth as silk. The characters were dropping 1-3
bullets, depending on the location of the shots! A high ground and
player movement affects the shots. Playing the game is even more
interesting because of these modified features in graphics and
gameplay. I am sure that many of you are already aware of the Call of
Duty Elite. This is the new digital service for the Call of Duty
community. There are almost 30 million active online Call of Duty
players around the world. The platform serves as an integrated social
and competitive center for Call of Duty players and will help them play
better together. Call of Duty Elite will be accessible via console,
smartphone, tablet as an essential part of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and is poised to take
the multiplayer gaming experience to the next level. Read more...

Landing the Legendaries in World of Warcraft
One of the greatest accomplishments in World of Warcraft is landing a legendary piece of gear. With each legendary piece denoted by orange tooltips, you can show off to the world that you completed a ridiculously hard quest chain or item gathering grind to get yours. Here’s a quick look at all six legendaries currently available in the game.
Vanilla Legendaries
In the original game there are two legendary weapons you can still get. These include Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros and Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker. The former is made from items you can gather in Molten Core, one of the tougher instances in the original World of Warcraft. The latter is a one handed sword dropped by Thunderaan. To summon this boss, you’ll need to gather a good amount of Elementium, a super rare item that only appears in Blackwing Lair. You’ll also need some rare item drops out of Molten Core.
Burning Crusade Legendaries
There are two legendary items that drop in the Burning Crusade. They include the Warglaive of Azzinoth (mainhand and offhand) and Thori’dal, the Stars’ Fury. The Warglaive is technically one item, but there are two versions – both of which drop from Illidan Stormrage. You can carry both blades as a dual wielder (available for Warriors, Rogues, and DKs). The second legendary is Thori’dal, a bow that drops from Kil’jaeden in the Sunwell Plateau.
Wrath Legendaries
In Wrath of the Lich King, there are two legendary weapons. The first is Val’anyr, Hammer of Ancient Kings. This is a one handed mace which can be used by Druids, Shaman, Paladins, and Priests. You will need 30 fragments of the weapon to forge it, which drop from bosses in the Ulduar raid.
The second weapon in Wrath is Shadowmourne, a two-handed ax which requires you to complete anumber of quests and gather reagents only available in Icecrown Citadel. These fragments are only available in 25 player or heroic mode.
Future Legendaries
Right now the Cataclysm Legendaries have not yet been announced. That said, we know they’re coming. Originally we thought Ashbringer might be available, but that seems unlikely after what happened to end Wrath’s storyline.
And of course, there will eventually be new legendaries for raid instances in Cataclysm like Firelands. When that happens, be prepared for an epic grind to land all of the pieces needed to create your new legendary weapon. Read more...

Modern Warfare 3 Makes The Grade
Infinity Ward makes their heroic return with Modern Warfare 3. While everything
else rests exactly the same as before, a whole new single player
campaign is introduced along with a similar multiplayer mode that
improves from Modern Warfare 2.
The single player campaign is not quite as long as like the previous
Modern Warfare titles, it is still bundled with hundreds of intel cases
meticulously scattered around the map. The story is also much easier to
follow in the campaigns than in Modern Warfare 3 which focuses on a
lone soldier trying to survive and kill hordes of Russian soldiers,
tanks and helicopters, together with another story of a team of special
American soldiers quietly crawling their way to the Russian president.
Modern Warfare 3 is as realistic as its predecessor, plus this game
takes it a step further with even more action pack campaigns than
Modern Warfare 2. During the course of the game, the player will kill
hundreds of soldiers throughout the campaign. But with all of this
action, the game will be finished within 3 hours with a third of that
being scripted sequences. What a dull!
Even though the campaign falls short of my expectations, Spec Ops mode
has returned in a level select screen format which adds playability of
the game, which is also able to play co-op mode. Many often skip the
campaign mode and go straight to the multiplayer mode. Infinity Ward
has made the correct formula that made Modern Warfare 2 so successful
by upgrading the multiplayer mode. The first thing that you will
probably notice is the statistics for all the guns. They have changed
it making every weapon immensely underpowered except assault rifles
which we really love to use. There are many perks that Modern Warfare 3
offers; the new sleight of hand pro perk not only decreases the time to
go from hip to sights by almost 90%, but also snaps to any target
within a 180 degree field of view. The new commando pro perk basically
turns the knife into a long range weapon with substantial hit
detection. The new army of one perk allows the player to carry infinite
rifle grenades as well as increasing spread damage from rifle grenades.
The cold-blooded pro allows the user to turn the same color with the
walls that they hide upon just like a chameleon while disabling
kill-cams for anyone they kill.
Killstreaks have also been modified a little. Killstreaks are almost
all the same for the Warfare trilogy except that the airships and the
tactical nuke are much more accessible. One Killstreak that has been
added is the RC-XD, which Infinity Ward made it available with only a
single kill. As much as this game is concerned, there have been some
modifications in the new game like adding the wager matches and
removing the CoD point system. The game also tried to minimize the
objective type of playing where they increased the number of levels
achieved to 50 to unlock these modes.
All in all, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 lives up to the expectations
of their fans in providing intense action and strategy game. Read more...

Five Tips for Dominating in World of Warcraft’s PvP Zones
One of the hardest things in World of Warcraft is finding information about PVP. There are a lot of reasons for this. First the PVP changes constantly. Second, PVP is dynamic. There are no universal tips that make it easy. What works for one player may not work for another. However, if you do everything properly and learn your way around each of the character classes, eventually you’ll dominate PVP in ways you never thought possible. Here are five ways to do just that:
1. Learn Every Class - There are ten classes in World of Warcraft and each class has three specializations. That means there are 30 potential opponents you could face, each of them with different strategies, tactics, and combat methods depending on their experience and personal preferences. By learning each class’s most common combat methods and how they would react to your class, you'll severely cut down on how much guessing you have to do during a fight.
2. Play Every Battleground - If you want to maximize your conquest points and really take off in the battlegrounds you should play each Battleground equally and not just the ones you enjoy. Feel free to spend as much time as you like in the Battlegrounds that you do like, but don't forget to practice at least once a week in the others.
3. Join a Group or a Guild – One of the easiest ways to get better in PVP is to join a group of fellow players and work with them. Using the battleground finder or simply hopping into random arena teams can be fun but it won't help you learn to work with other people.
4. Keep up on the Latest Patches - When a patch occurs in World of Warcraft a lot of things change, but nothing changes more than how PVP works. To really stay ahead of the curve you need to know what's coming, test the changes on the PTR server, and work with your fellow players to develop strategies for when the patch goes live.
5. Learn Your Hotkeys - Your keyboard is your best friend. Forget about the mouse and learn how to use each of the keys on your keyboard to master the rapid input of commands. The faster you can enter your commands, the more of an upper hand you’ll have over your opponents.
Why is PVP in World of Warcraft so hard? Because there are so many other players working just as hard as or harder than you with whom you need to compete. Unlike instances and raids where you just need to learn the tactics and practice repeatedly, PVP requires you to learn everything your opponent could possibly do so that you be ready when it happens. Hopefully these five tips will help you get started, don't forget to keep researching and spend plenty of time watching videos to learn more about how PVP works both for your class and the other nine.

Lost in FarmVille?
If you're having trouble getting a hang of the way of things in FarmVille, you're not alone. I know of quite a few people who got into the game expecting it to be easy as pie and were quickly frustrated. In fact, I was one of them. So I went looking for a guide to help me master the farming life.
I actually tried quite a few of these guides, but not many of them had much helpful information to give. They were either designed for people who'd gotten all the way to the upper levels already, or they were severely outdated because of additions made to the game since they were released. FarmVille is a relatively new game and is still in the Beta stage, so a lot of improvements have been made to it in a short time and many of the guides on the market have not been updated to account for these changes.
So I finally broke down and bought FarmVille Champ. This guide has been released pretty recently, so it's up to date on all of the latest advances in the game. I found it to be immensely helpful to me, and I was quickly raking in the coins and moving up in levels like you wouldn't believe.
In addition to the helpful tips, FarmVille Champ also includes some handy charts and other resources that help you to compare items available in the Market and also helps you to plan out your spending and improvement strategies. I think you'll be as pleasantly surprised as I was when you read this guide and put the tips in it to use on your farm. I started to see results overnight almost. It's definitely a guide worth checking out if you're having trouble getting the hang of FarmVille, or if you just want to give your game an extra boost. Either way, you'll be happy you tried it.

I actually tried quite a few of these guides, but not many of them had much helpful information to give. They were either designed for people who'd gotten all the way to the upper levels already, or they were severely outdated because of additions made to the game since they were released.

Is Buying a FarmVille Guide Worth It?
I have to admit, I was pretty skeptical when I first started seeing FarmVille guides popping up. I mean, I'd never really played the game, but from the name I assumed there couldn't be all that much to it. After all, how much strategy could possibly go into building a virtual farm? But once I started seeing these guides, I figured it'd be worth taking a shot at the game to see what all the hubbub could possibly be about.
And I was actually rather surprised. Building my own virtual farm was much more enjoyable than I'd imagined it would be. Part of that was because there really were a lot of options and a lot of decisions to make. The more I played the game, the more I realized that there probably could be a lot of helpful information in a guide because there were just too many ways you could play.
I was doing alright on my own, but I was getting more and more curious about what I might be missing out on. After I reached level 13 and was having a hard time getting farther, I decided to give one of the guides a shot. I bought FarmVille Champ, a relatively new guide and pretty up to date on the latest additions to the game. I really wasn't expecting too much, but this guide just blew me away.
In no time, I was the Cream of the Crop, a level 24 farmer with a Big Family Farm and tons of neighbors to visit. Using the tips in this guide helped me way more than I thought they would – even when I read them. There's a lot more to this farming stuff than meets the eye. I'd recommend picking up a copy of FarmVille Champ if you're interested in getting the most out of your FarmVille experience. Read more...

Get to Masters In Starcraft 2 With Expert Training From A Pro Gamer.
In an RTS like Starcraft 2, awareness and superior knowledge are key to Masters League play. Unfortunately most SC2 guides don’t teach advanced techniques from the ground up, and watching tournament videos only gives you insight into each player’s specific strategy. If you want to understand and use those strategies, you need a better guide.
7Probes has produced just that. The Masters Training Course–the first of four comprehensive guides created by Masters Top 25 player Valyrian–is a 5-module, 25-lesson text and video course that teaches you the secrets pro players use to dominate tournaments.
Valyrian covers the key points of a competitive tournament strategy in 5 main categories: Unit Comprehension, Map & Positioning, Opponent Awareness, Economy & Awareness, and Micromanagement & Macromanagement. Each module contains several individual lessons with key points and videos to reinforce the text.
Unit Comprehension: This is an introductory module and provides very basic but crucial information on the strengths and weaknesses of each race and their respective units. Unlike many guides that seem to favor a specific race, this one starts off showing you how you can master each by clearly explaining the units and their strategies, including tips on how you can overcome an opponent’s units.
Map & Positioning: The map type and initial position of each base plays a huge role in the game’s outcome. The 7Probes Masters Training Course explains the importance of the map including why different races favor different map sizes and how to use the best possible terrain scenario for attack and expansion strategies. Valyrian also addresses how to compensate against poor positioning on a map that’s already dominated by your opponent, something that’s very helpful as you’re learning.
Opponent Awareness: Every bit of information counts when playing SC2 on a competitive level, and Valyrian stresses that in this module, teaching players how to spy on their opponent as soon as possible to gain the advantage. This strategy is very rarely discussed, but it’s absolutely crucial to winning a game. This section goes one step further by highlighting the difference between informed decision-making and assumptions, explaining when and why you should use each, and how a Master plots their course of action.
Economy & Awareness: While not as strong as the other modules, the 4th and 5th modules delve into more specific tactics. The 4th module covers the management of a good economy and how important expansion can be to winning longer games. Valyrian shows several strategies for making the most of your workers regardless of the race you’re playing.
Micro & Macro: RTS games are all about managing what’s going on as efficiently as possible. While it’s difficult to really teach concepts like micromanagement and macromanagement, Valyrian explains the difference between the two and offers some strategies for each. This module also contains several tips and tactics that don’t fit anywhere else, explaining advanced topics like control groups, hotkeys, harassing, and other concepts you have to practice to be a Master.
The 7Probes Masters Training Course is a great guide for anyone looking to advance their rank in SC2. These are the fundamental strategies that will get you to Masters level with some practice and hard work, and guide-creator Valyrian really does an excellent job of explaining things in a way you can actually use in game.
Be advised that there is NOT a lot of hand-holding in this guide. More in-depth lessons are promised with the race specific guides, but the Masters Training Course is specifically for players that need to know the best possible tactics for competitive League play in SC2.
If you’ve never played the original Starcraft or Warcraft III and you’re just getting your feet wet with Starcraft 2, you should probably find a more newbie-friendly guide. That said, even with minimal SC2 experience you can apply the strategies in this guide to see huge improvements.
So if you’re looking for the most straightforward, comprehensive guide that tells all the secrets of a Masters-level player, get the 7Probes Masters Training Course today. Read more...

Are you getting everything you can out of your WoW subscription?
Are you getting everything you could be out of WoW? Do you have everything you could ever need? Are you:
- Making enough gold
- Using the right keybinds
- Running the best spec and glyphs
- Leveling to 85 in 4 days played
My guess is you need help in at least one of those areas, but let's be honest: Most players could use a little help in all of them!
The problem is there's so many guides and addons out there that you could clean out your bank account trying to buy them all. You need something you can be sure will work for you AND you need it at a great price. It sounds like an unrealistic goal, right? After all, you get what you pay for.
But I want to show you how you can get 4 powerful, amazing addons for one low price.
You've probably heard of Manaview before. They've made some great addons over the years. Addons that address pretty much every big need you could have in WoW.
There's Tycoon, the first and only gold addon that can make you 30,000g daily on autopilot.
Impulse, the only ingame keybind and macro manager that teaches you the right way to react 25% quicker.
Edge, the addon that gives you the best possible specs and strategies for whatever you want to do ingame.
And Booster, the original ingame leveling guide that gets you to 85 in just over 4 days played. Read more...

The Most Comprehensive, Real Life, Flight Simulator Ever Created!
Have you ever wanted to spend the afternoon flying over the Eiffel Tower in Paris?
Or maybe spending the morning soaring right over the Great Pyramids in Giza...
If so, I'd urge you to read this message because I want to show you what 48 programmers all across the world have been working on for the last 7 years...
I present to you... Flight Simulator Plus - The single most advanced Flight Simulator ever created (you'll see why in a sec)..
Unlike other flight simulators available (which are more like games..), Flight Simulator Plus was created as an alternative to professional flight simulators used for pilot training, so that you could learn how to fly from the comfort of your home.
When you get into the cockpit, you will see that the panels and controls are what you will find in a real aircraft. The simulator is built to mimic "real flying"... to give you the real experience of how it would feel to fly a real plane.
It's built with so much detail... that you can actually set the weather you wish to fly in. Want to fly on a rainy day? How about navigating through a storm in the mountains? The built in "real sync" technology lets you set the weather to what it is right now.
That means.. if it's bright and sunny in New York... or there are gale winds blowing houses away.. that's exactly the weather you will experience in the flight simulator when you are flying over New York. Real and Live! Read more...

Modern Warfare Domination!!!

Between you and the recognition that you deserve.
