Why not to buy Kinect for the xbox 360.

So a lot of people are really crazed up about this new gadget released by Microsoft "KINECT" for the Xbox 360, basically Kinect is an add-on for the Xbox 360 and lets you play 'some' games without having to use the controller and by just using your body and voice. It also allows you to do video conversation negative the Xbox dash board with voice commands etc, but is this thing really worth buying considering the price tag to be around 150$ which is just 50$ less then Xbox 360 stand alone 1GB version, not to mention you need at least 8 feet of empty space to be able to play this thing, these days because of over population the houses are usually cramp and people are unable to find space for their furniture, is this gadget worth losing so much space of your living room? It also hasn't yet come out with blockbuster exclusives and i think its much easier to play games with the controller rather then standing up and moving. Imagine how childish it would look when a person would be playing a shooting game, making a gun with his hand. What i think is that until the price tag is reduced and some good exclusives arrive its not worth cramping up your living room in order to play it. Personally i think Kinect is only suitable for kids around the age of 5-10 not for hardcore gamers. For me Kinect is a 'no' 'no'.

Some Good HD Video converters.

This is a problem which i faced when i started my youtube channel. The problem was that when i would export a file from adobe after effects the size would be very big, around 4-5gb now since i don't have a very fast internet connection i was faced with the problem on how to upload the file. So i searched on the internet and found out that the size of a video could drastically decrease if i used a video converter to convert it. At first i started of with a free converter, but then noticed that the video quality decreases when i converted from it. I starting searching the internet to find the best video converter and after trying 8-7 video converters i figured the two best were Total Video Converter and Tipard HD Video Converter.

Playing Movies on Your Mobile

Did you ever think of this before or you just wanted to know how to? Actually it doesn't matter, all you need to do is read this!

First of all you need to know if your mobile can play Videos, and if it can which format? Most video playing phones play .3gp or .mp4 format. If your mobile is Nokia or any other renowned brand then it would play .3gp and sometimes .mp4.

For putting a large video file in your phone like a movie, you of course need a memory card. Then you need to convert those videos in the supported formats that are 3gp (recommended) or mp4. If you do convert you will find they will not play because the bitrate and resolution is not corect.

To the point then! Here is what you got to do:

1. Download a Video Converter like Media Coder.

2. Import The desired Video file in the Coverter.

3. Change Video Codec to Xvid or Divx. 

4. Change Audio codec to Acc (or something similar).

5. Change Video bitrate to 250 (in case of Media Coder)

6. Change Audio to Bitrate 128

7. Change Resolution to 320 x 240. It is probably the maximum for standard mobiles.

8. Change Frame Rate to 15 fps 

Now start the converting process. It will take time for a large video to finish converting. Afterwards copy the converted file in your mobile via the memory card.

If you have any questions please ask, we will be ready to answer.

Kaijudo Portal

Well the other day i was going to school when i saw kids play duelmasters. I remembered the good old days those days in which i lived (besides food/water) on duelmasters. After a lot of googling i finally came across this online Duelmasters game Kaijudo Portal.

For those of you, who don't know about duelmasters, well it is a worldwide popular trading card game.Anyone who plays duelmasters, likes them, enjoys them and for those who are looking for an online solution to DM, the kaijudo Portal community is for you. This is probably the biggest duelmasters community on the internet.You can have a one-on-one match  with any other player who is currently online. It works on the fact that you create a duel and if someone wants to play you he joins it. You can also join other games to scout other players.  There are all the normal cards as well as the special Japanese cards (I find them GAY and Over Powered).

The Good:

               In compared to the other duelmaster games on the Internet this game is by far the best.  You can have a as exciting if not more exciting experience then playing in 1 on 1 real life. The added that the player can add any card in his deck is a added bonus as we now don't have to buy piles and piles of cards just for 1 creature. The user interface is nice and tidy as well as the picture quality is quite tolerable.The clan system, ladder system and rank system is also quite nice.

 The Flaws:

               The buggers. There are a lot of bugs in the game and well some people really abuse these bugs. For a completely new guy this game can be confusing i remember i spent 2 hours in the game just trying to find how to make the deck. If you read the instruction that shouldn't be a problem but if u don't its quite a confusing game. I also hoped there would be a rule guide but there isn't, a lot of new players make wrong moves which really annoys a player.

Over All: 

             I'll give the game a 9/10. Even though it has bugs we can't over look the fact that it is a free software and that we didn't pay a single cent to get such nice game with all features.

Here is the download link download the client to play:

Education Related Softwares

As I was wondering about the problems I face related studies, I found it relatively interesting to write about "Educational Softwares". This is because some educational softwares are pretty cool to work with, they make your work easy, reliable etc. Here is the List of some of my favorite:

Note: The most reliable softwares can only be downloaded from Download.cnet

1. The Sage:

It has plenty of options as well, such as; You can find synonyms,antonyms,sentences related the searched words. There is even a voice command which enables users to understand how the word is spelled.

2.Google Earth:

                   This is probably one of the most famous geographical science softwares. This is basically a mapping software which allows you to view the whole of the known world exactly as it is in real life. In some advanced countries the maps are delivered 3d. You can only understand its true potential once you usu it. I was amazed to see the level of accuracy of this software and forgot to mention the view which was given of different historical and famous places, Mind-blowing.

Though it is old looking, but, still it is probably the best software of its kind.

5. Maths Graph Creator:

                               This is a simple graph and coordinate creating software. It has few problems but surely will help you in maths. The 'x' axis and 'y' axis included with different sorts of scales makes this a neat software to work with. Although some of its features are pretty good, there still are some complexed and difficult to use features.

              This is not basically an educational software but it does somehow teach you how to be creative. This software allows users to create and design different logo style of their own choice.

"Torrents" how to download them?

Well i have been asked very frequently about how I download everything from the web.Well, the answer is simple I use torrents. You can download almost everything from torrents.e.g. Movies,Songs(Full Albums),Softwares (Cracked),Games (Full Version) and even TV shows seasons. I thought this was a bluff as well,but now i daily download something worth my time with torrents.

1) What are torrents?

 Torrents are P2P connections. if you are downloading, lets say a game there must be other people that have downloaded it (Seeders or Seeds) to give it to you, say if i downloaded it, the only way you will get it if i leave on my program on and let u downloaded it from me.The person who is downloading is basically a Peer and the person who is providing it is a Seeder.

2)How to download torrents?

Lets say i want to download a torrent file.

First thing you have to do is download Utorrent

After you have downloaded it install it.

Now once you have done this its time for the torrent you want to download. For example if i want to download the "counter strike"
I will simply go to one of these torrent sites below
http://adf.ly/L5E1

http://adf.ly/L5FC

The best way to choose a torrent is to look at the number of Seeders and Leechers. Remember that the number of Seeders must be more than the number of Peers to get a good download speed. After this read the comments given to the file and if you are satisfied download its torrent.file. (given inside the red box)

  

once your download is complete it should look something like this

double click to open it and something like this should pop up

click ok and your download should start
