Hello again it's time to review some of the many helpful tools that I have come across that have given me an abundant amount of knowledge on web development! This website has given me the most insight: http://www.tizag.com/HtmlT/index.php Tizag has a lot of useful attributes. There's tutorials for those who have little to knowledge about the web development industry and for more experienced people there are HTML and CSS tutorials. Under these tutorial links there are many different subcategories that can be selected with specific information such as elements, tags, attributes, paragraphs, etc.
The other website which is nearly the same is http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_intro.asp
w3schools has not as much introductory level information as Tizag, but has some advanced
walkthroughs that Tizag doesn't.

Torrent sites are used around the world. Thousands of Applications,
Games, Music, etc. are found on these sites, along with cracks, serials, eBooks and Hacking Tools. Computer fanatics congregate to share and take as they please. The government tries to regulate these sites by restricting content, "going in for a look", or even shutting them down permanently. Major torrent sites such as Meganova.org, Mininova.org, demonoid.com,
the list goes on and on. Of the three above two of them have been limited or permanently shut down by the judicial court. Peer-to-Peer(P2P) sharing is becoming more and more common, just as well as a threat to the government.
Many people ask, "What is it about torrenting/file-sharing that is so bad?". Well, many things transmitted from peer to peer or from a centralized network; are usually not completely legal. Many people say downloading things that aren't yours is illegal, but many people counter that with "I'm just downloading a huge pattern of 1's and 0's, there's nothing illegal about it."
The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) has released its report on Digital Music 2009. Despite efforts of the music industry, around 95% of downloaded music is
illegal. Music is one of the most shared files on the internet, along with the easiest to transport
with its small size and easy compatibility. They can be burned to discs, put on flash drives, or even emailed. Since most of the population has grown up with the internet, file sharing, and a progressive knowledge of where to find certain files "free of charge", the music industry has taken a solid hit.

Fallout 3
Fallout 3 is the newest game of a series brought back from "back in the day" by Bethesda Softworks with developers of the Elder Scrolls games. It takes place in a post-nuclear chaotic setting with more specifically on the desecrated west coast of America in and around Washington D.C. As it is developed by Bethesda, you can expect a huge open playground and go anywhere you want, do what you want, "whatever you feel like" type of adventure game that sucks you in quickly. Fallout 3 delivers.
The game begins with you being removed from your mother by your father and some doctors. You select a name and play through select phases of childhood, choosing stats and areas of expertise as you go. Your childhood consists of an underground complex called a Vault, it is a sad and depressing place so terribly you will be joyous when life falls apart after you turn nineteen. Your father leaves for random reasons and all hell breaks lose and you choose to go out and follow him. You step go outside the vault and the game stops holding you back, you finish your character and delete any childhood decisions that you weren't happy with and you are free to do whatever you want, search for your father or explore the trashed landscape and forgo side-quests at the nearby encampment of Megaton.
The fact that Fallout 3 is developed by Bethesda is undoubtedly going to be a bone of contention among hardcore fans of the original two Fallout games. They have a strong cult following and the fact that Bethesda have stamped their mark firmly on the series is going to anger many Fallout purists. I never played the originals so I could play Fallout 3 without prejudice, but it is so clearly a Bethesda game and possesses so many traits of the Elder Scrolls games that I can easily see that the formula will have changed, and some are not going to like it.
This seems very skeptical and strange when you first start playing the game, and you will desire standard FPS combat, though you will soon become embraced to it. In an attempt to eviscerate some strategy to battles, the makers have created the V.A.T.S targeting system. This slows down time and gives you the chance to aim at specific points of your enemy's body, at the expense of action points. You can throw out far more damage in V.A.T.S mode and you can strategically tear apart your enemies. For example if you come across a Super Mutant holding a mini-gun that is ripping you apart, you can aim for the gun and put it out of usability. There are cons to this system however, as it alienates you vulnerable to attack and movement becomes delayed before you can leave V.A.T.S. mode. The most awesome thing about it is the close up action shots of your enemy as they are shot. You get to witness heads and limbs explode and go in all directions in a cloud of blood and body parts. When you can see the impact of the bullet as it slams through the skull. To skip these sequences would be awesome sometimes because they start to get more annoying than anything else in the world after the millionth head go flying through the air in a plethora of blood.
Well thats about it for Fallout 3 tomorrow come back for another new game review!

Rollin' the Rogue on Haomarush...
So me and a good friend decided to re-roll horde on an old server that honestly went to waste after a while and became so bad that you knew everyone who stepped into a town and if anyone transferred over it was the talk around the world. So coming from an awesome server as in Black DragonFlight to Hao...its a start at least. So I have never been a fan of going horde because they seemed to usually always be on the winning side of things, and being me, I rebelled. I first rolled a warlock, with the name Sulrom. I am not the person to have too much time on his hands, so leveling became difficult alone, and I picked up a friend. So re-rolling a character I usually get killed by, a rogue, playing horde, and trying hard to enjoy it.
So playing a horde character is not that bad, the only real reason I chose to come back to Hao is because of some deep-rooted friends who never got off of the server and I decided to pay them back for my time gone with a re-roll. The rogue is a very mighty character and has some very neat abilities that have caught my interest. I am starting to get into the level area of twenty. It's pretty fun stealthing around a back stabbing and what not. Sneaky but strong, the exact thing I hated facing when on my Warlock. Ok, this is a warning for those who are going to roll a horde character, the Barrens general and trade channels can both be found abundantly filled with some of the worst and most repetitive God awful Chuck Norris jokes of all time. Along with the "!Your Mom!" jokes, you basically want to rip your monitor off of your desk and throw it a great distance. The Alliance quests and Horde quests seem to be kind of the same format, kill this many creatures, obtain this many whatevers, no real differences. The game goes a lot quicker when you have the refer-a-friend experience boost...double experience for mobs and quests too! Go out and get yourself a free trial if you have not yet purchased the game and have someone refer you to level much quicker!
I have slowly grown attached to my new character purchasing his new skills and upgrading his combat points, trying to see how I can create the best combos and what works well against what. Working on getting him some better daggers through my Rogue class quest, still have my double experience so I really need to MAKE time now instead of FIND it. I hear that from the levels 30 up to 50 the quests become more complex and have a much higher difficulty so at least it will keep me entertained being a competition addict of my friends. So on an overall look at my first quests, skills, leveling, game play, cities and population, Horde doesn't seem to be too bad of a side to be on, most people are willing to help you out and the questing is usually very easy making your time more valuable to your experience per hour value. Well this seems to be as much as I can say for now but from 5/19 to 5/24 I promise to have a game review each and everyday of some of the hottest new games so come back tomorrow afternoon to read on the latest in new game reviews!

Garry's Mod
Happy Easter! Today I am going to review a game that has peaked my interest lately, and that game is entitled Garry's Mod and can be found through Steam, an easy to use and very rewarding program. Garry's Mod lets you addon a various amount of downloadable content that is supported by the game program itself. There is a wide variety of weapons, characters, scenery, and physics-based mechanics.
This game has thousands of downloads open to the public, and allows you to play online with friends, or just in any game server being played. There are many maps to choose from, maps that are taken from other Steam based games, such as Counter-Strike Source and the Half-Life series as well. In addition to these maps are also the maps created by private users and from what I have seen can be very unique and fun to play. There is a lot of creativity used through out the game since objects can be frozen in mid air, welded together, and many other effects, modifications, etc.
Nearly everything in the game can be altered some way, from color and use, to binding and transforming, there are endless possibilities in Garry's Mod. I give the game a solid 8.5 out of 10. You can make the game how you wish, so nearly all can enjoy, it is online capable, and if you are running on Steam, then you can request your friends to play through the chat window. Thanks for reading!

My New Custom Built Computer
So I have been in the production of a new computer so that I can not have the hassle of my family trying to all being able to use it, with my mom using it for her buisness purposes and I am finally ready to create my own. So now that I started getting parts together to see what would work together and I have my parts listed below:
Newegg.com - EVGA 122-YW-E173-TR LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 750i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard - Intel Motherboards
Newegg.com - CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Desktop Memory
Newegg.com - Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 Wolfdale 2.8GHz 3MB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor - Processors - Desktops
Newegg.com - ZOTAC ZT-96SES4P-FSL GeForce 9600 GSO 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards
Newegg.com - SAMSUNG Black 22X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 16X DVD+R DL 22X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 12X DVD-RAM 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 32X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM 2MB Cache SATA 22X DVD Burner - CD / DVD Burners

The computer should be able to handle anything that I want, I mean with a 750GB hard drive, the CPU that is very fast, and the graphics card which will be able to carry me through whatever I need, movies, games, name it. The motherboard will be a great deal and most of the parts have free shipping.
