Gimme Golf: Combining Golf, Gaming and Social Networking

Posted by J. Angelo as Games, Gaming, Online Gaming

Golf is not just a game. Business deals are often made over a few rounds between associates and business partners. Friendships are strengthened. So basically golf is a social network--though not the usual online social network one would imagine. Web app developers have been finding interesting ways to combine the power of social networking and the niche interests of Web users. And in terms of golf, Skill Technology has developed Gimme Golf, where users can compete with other online users, with the possibility of playing tourney (and winning prizes!).

The grass just got a lot greener for casual gamers. Gimme Golf, a new online golf game from Skill Technology, allows players to connect with friends and ...

A source of Classic Nintendo Games

Posted by Jaren as Cool Stuff, Games, Online Gaming, Random Thoughts

I unearthed my old Nintendo System from my parent's attic when I came to visit them. Even though it's not working anymore.. I'll try to fix it and see if I can revive this baby. Seeing it alongside my PS2, my Xbox 260, my Xbox, and my Wii, makes me teary eyed with joy. Along With it came Gaming Gems like Super Mario Bros., Mike Tyson's Punch Out, Battle City and So on... Upon seeing those games I pondered on the thought that if I started playing again I would lose all concentration on my work and just play everyday. I found a site that would serve my daily game craving and it's easy.. just go to the site, choose a ...

Play WoW using your Xbox 360 Controller

Posted by Jaren as Computers, Cool Stuff, Games, Online Gaming, PC, Software, Windows

I've been using my Xbox 360 Controller to play every game installed on my Vista Laptop, starting from Doom3, Civ3, Oblivion, Half-life 2, Halo, Marvel Ultimate Alliance, Battle for Middle Earth 2, Etc.. Even Using it on a few MMO's like Freestyle Online, and World of Warcraft. And the experience is great, better than the feeling of messing up my laptop keyboard, because of frustrated keypresses that leads to smashing your keyboard. Plus the neck strain because you have to be close to the monitor and keyboard at the same time. Now for Other games I used the Pinnacle Game Profiler Software,which is free to download but costs you if you want to upgrade it. For the game, World Of Warcraft ...

The Gap Between Generations

Posted by Mr Butterscotch as Computers, Consoles, Cool Stuff, NextGen, Online Gaming, Software, Software Features

One of the things that came up recently in conversations with my older relatives was exactly what I did for a living. This has changed from something extremely technical (working for an Affiliate Network) to something slightly less technical though nonetheless highly skilled – working as a marketing and PR exec for a nutritional supplements company. I have a variety of tasks that I perform day to day, including looking after the website we run as well as creating ads and press releases. Said relatives understand some of this, however other parts of it just completely are beyond their understanding. Which is what brings me to the eponymous title. I’ve ran a few blogs and been ...

Better Face it: Your Addicted

Posted by Jaren as Games, Gaming, Online Gaming, PC

It's time to face it. You know you are Addicted to Gaming. Because of the progress and evolution of gaming these past few years, many people have taken gaming to a whole new level and some have even really integrated gaming into their daily lives and would freak out if they can't play a single game or even go "cold turkey" like all addicts do when deprived of their addiction. Basically I am an addict, too. I love gaming and can't seem to live without it. Gaming recently found its way into the media spotlight through gaming addictions. Mostly related to MMORPG's, my gaming addiction involves more than just one game and it runs deep in my veins because as we all ...

Say it's cleaning your own room. You can get other people to help you out with it, or do it by yourself. And what could possibly be exciting about that? Chore Wars
