The relationship encourages League of Legends players to use American Express Serve prepaid accounts in exchange for in-game rewards.
American Express has announced a partnership with Riot Games to bring in-game rewards to League of Legends players through everyday spending with American Express Serve prepaid accounts.
Serve is integrating a reward-based system called RP+ to give League of Legends players so-called Riot Points, a virtual currency that can be used to purchase in-game items like extra customization or boosts.
Players earn Riot Points for signing up for the card as well as for every qualifying purchase. That includes: 1,000 Riot Points with complete registration, 1,000 Riot Points the first time users load $20 onto their accounts, 10,000 Riot Points the first time gamers use direct deposit to add $20 or more to their accounts, and 1,000 Riot Points for their first 10 purchases with the cards.
Signup and the website go live August 14.
According to Riot, League of Legends is "a fast-paced, competitive online game that blends the speed and intensity of [a real-time strategy] with [role-playing game] elements" that includes "two teams of powerful champions, each with a unique design and play style [that] battle head-to-head across multiple battlefields and game modes."
Riot also says League of Legends has more than 32 million active monthly players who log more than one billion hours of gameplay a month. It was not clear what proportion of those 32 million players fall within the campaign's target of "millennial gamers."
"The rise of the eSports community, as well as the influx of gaming into the millennial consumer's lifestyle, inspired American Express to partner with Riot Games to provide a unique service to a largely untapped, albeit niche, audience," says Ian Swanson, vice president of enterprise growth at American Express.
He also says digital banner ads will begin August 14 on the League of Legends Championship Series website.
Gamers who sign up for RP+ will receive the option to acquire a customized League of Legends card with their choice of four popular champions and original art from the game. That includes Teemo, Vi, Lux, Twisted Fate, the Summoner's Cup, and the League of Legends logo.
In addition, American Express says Serve allows card members to transfer money between fellow players who also have accounts free of charge.

Valve is bringing the Steam Deck UI to VR headsets.
A brochure put in place by Valve to mark the availability of Steam Deck in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong indicates that VR headsets using Steam will “soon” have the Steam Deck UI.
“Soon, the Steam Deck UI will be available on TV-connected PCs and in VR,” the booklet mentions.
Today, PC-powered VR headsets typically use Valve’s SteamVR as the device-independent software platform for accessing games and settings. SteamVR’s interface has evolved slowly from something like Meta’s Quest headset’s monthly release schedule. The last major system interface overhaul came in 2020 with the ability to pin windows to a controller added in 2021. This latest hint from Valve may indicate that the company is closing in on another big SteamVR overhaul. for existing VR headsets on PC, but it will likely form the basis of the standalone “Deckard” reported as well. Code finds, patents, and even comments from Valve employees all point to the idea that Valve could use the groundwork laid with Steam Deck as the basis for a standalone VR headset.
The document released by Valve also serves as an overview of Valve’s technologies and history. Not only does the document describe the evolution of Bellevue-based Valve from a game development company to owner of the world’s dominant games market as well as a hardware manufacturer, but the booklet also highlights the technologies on which Valve has worked. Proton, for example, “makes it possible to play Windows games on Linux devices,” essentially freeing up some gamers to ditch their addiction to Microsoft Windows if they choose. Valve’s work in virtual reality also helped launch the resurgence of modern consumer VR, partnering with HTC for the original Vive in 2016 that brought hand-controlled VR to room scale. to buyers ahead of Facebook’s Oculus Rift. In 2019, the company launched Valve Index into the high end of the consumer PC VR market and the $1,000 PC-powered kit is still a perennial best-seller on Steam alongside the newest laptop. $399+ Steam Deck.
“This is a multi-generational product line,” the document says about Steam Deck. “Valve will support Steam Deck and SteamOS for the foreseeable future. We’ll learn from the Steam community about new uses for our hardware that we haven’t yet thought of, and we’ll build new versions to be even more open and capable than the first version of Steam Deck.
Although Valve is a big company in terms of revenue generated, it is also privately run with an employee count in the hundreds. This sees Valve generally quiet in public while carefully choosing its partners until huge public outings scheduled on “valve time“.


Reacting to the Pokemon Gen 4 Remakes (Brilliant Diamond And Shining Pearl ) [Pokemon Week]
Pokemon week rolls on with a double header. This morning we will be reacting to the Pokemon Gen 4 remakes, Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.
Link to the trailer on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pDI8Scph44
Pokemon Generation 4 is arguably my favorite generation, with Platinum as possibly the best Pokemon game of all time. This remake has been a storm brewing in the background. Pokemon set a new growing standard in 2004 with the Generation 1 remakes, Fire Read and Leaf Green. This series of remakes continued with HeartGold and Soul Silver. Finally, Generation 3 got its day in the sun with OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire. That was in 2014. That gets us to now, Generation 4. Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. Needless to say, the wait has been long.
I think this game is receiving harsh criticism already. The hate is mostly directed at the art style. They went with a more Pokemon Go (Some would say even worse) art style than Pokemon Sword and Shield. Which is drawing comparison to other remakes. With that, a few things need to be broken down first.
A. Nintendo Games Will Never Be Sony Games. At least not in the immediate future. What were people expecting anyway? I actually saw someone say this is bad because it does not look like the Final Fantasy 7 remakes… I’m not justifying Pokemon games still looking like DS games or how they are lagging behind the industry standard games of today. But comparing these remakes to Final Fantasy 7 is just a mistake. I think the Pokemon models look fine. I even think the characters in the battle scenes look fine. What loses me a bit is the character’s faces during the overworld. It is not perfect but than again there’s always the fact that…
B. Generation 4 Wasn’t Amazing Because of Graphics. Generation 4 was amazing because the Pokemons were great, the villains were cool, the legendaries of the game were peak, the post game story added plenty of content, the region was fun to explore, Pokemon Wifi Battles were all the rage, the writing was solid enough for a kids RPG, they advanced the series in cool ways such as the moves being physical or special instead of just the typing. The starters were all great. Yes, even you Turtwig. So many Let’s Players got their start playing these games. You could probably go on and on. Yet, as you can see, I didn’t mention graphics. I think the graphics were fine but were quickly outdated by the design and sleekness or HeartGold and SoulSilver.
C. If They Capture the Feels, All is Forgiven. Pokemon cast a wide net these days- grown mean in their 30’s down to kids experiencing the franchise for the first time. I think Pokemon players are jaded and complain about way too much. Like we didn’t survive the Wii and the Wii U era. Eras I personally am fond of, but still. Nintendo’s imagine was terrible during these times. You couldn’t admit you liked Nintendo or Pokemon during these days because they were not shiny like the 360 and PS3. Of course I continued to enjoy the series, but fans started to disconnect from the series at this point. Pokemon Go and Pokemon Let’s Go brought a lot of old fans and new fans and people who do not even care about Pokemon together. But they set some new trends people were afraid of. The art style, the no wild battles and the ease of the games. Gen 8 did a lot to remedy this. It changed the art style some, gave us wild battles but did not help much in the difficulty department. As a result, I’ve heard a lot of people question their belief in GameFreak. While the trailer did not leave a good taste in many fans mouth, if they capture the old school feels of being on a Pokemon adventure, I think all is well again. I just do not know if this will climb that insurmountable wall.
However, I’ve watched the Pokemon community continously fell to realize Pokemon is not Final Fantasy 7 or any other RPG. But following the harsh reviews Pokemon Sword and Shield got, combined with the long awaited expectations of Pokemon Gen 4 remakes, they cannot afford to mess this up. This was their perfect chance to get back in Player’s graces. I think they will ultimately fall short to the general audience. Personally, I think it looks fine and I cannot wait to revisit one of my favorite regions. The remake does have me hyped and I am looking forward to it. It is worth noting these games are being developed by ILCA and not Gamefreak. Gamefreak is busy overseeing tonight’s blog post, Pokemon Legends: Arceus.
That will do it for now. Here’s to hoping the games turn out okay. I work until 9pm tonight but I am planning to blog again tonight!
Thanks for reading and have a great day.

Poker is thought to have very ancient origins that date back nearly 1100 years. According to certain historians, poker's origins are traced back nearly 1,100 years ago to a tenth century Chinese emperor. It is believed that he have been gifted with a unique ability to predict the future. Some believe that it was a descendant of the old card game known as solitaire which was invented in Venice, Italy. Experts believe it began to decrease as a result of the decline in card players and the increase in the number of people living in rural areas.The game has evolved over time to the form we have today. At one time the game was restricted to playing cards of ordinary size were allowed. Later, different types of poker chips were introduced such as the "American" wheeled chips, and the "poker-face" chips that had three straight flushes with three cards. According to the history, poker chips were created in China in the beginning of. However, this idea was not widely accepted in the United States until after the Great Depression. Today poker chips are available all over the world and are available in packs of three, two four, five, or six.Poker has become an extremely popular game, especially in America. It wasn't so long ago that it was deemed to be gambling and therefore wasn't legalized in the U.S. until the courts decided that it was a game of luck. Later, with the Second World War, it was reinstated and is a favorite pastime for Americans of all ages and backgrounds. Many people think that it was created in Europe but the reality is that it can be found in any European country which includes Portugal, Spain, Germany and Italy. Although the exact origins of poker are not clear, certain events have shaped the sport into what it is today.The development of poker during the Renaissance was one of the main factors that made poker popular. The king Louis XIV of France, by the way was not a poker player; he played lots of chess. However, when he decided to bet, he played many games of poker. He soon started collecting poker chips of high quality and playing them. This is how the name "Poker" was created by combining the words "passing the game". It was known as pass-the-game, which caused it to gain popularity with the upper classes.The first time poker games played online were introduced to the general public was in the year '96. 먹튀검증 They were first referred to as holdem games. They began to be played on regular tables at local restaurants and bars. Five-card Stud was a very popular kind of game played at these early games. Though five cards were dealt to five players, it was the foundation of many successful hands in poker. It created a feeling that everyone was fair, because no one could afford to lose any more cards. This led to an enjoyable poker game.Bluffing, also known as playing the game to win, was a favorite strategy for many players in the time. So, the term "bluffing was coined. The two-and-a-half card draw is also well-known. Also, the three-card drawing, which required your opponents to take out two, three or even four cards from each hand and then reveal cards from their hands to you. Bluffing is a challenging game to master. 먹튀검증 Casino operators also added a house advantage to the cards.The next big development in the field of poker was the four-suit hand that is played with seven cards. This created two options for playing poker: betting and Bluffing. Bluffing was still possible , but it became more challenging because it took longer to convince all players to give up. Betting was the preferred option, especially in the case of a strong hand.Another popular poker trick was the check raise. This involves players making a bid high (passing the wager to another player) and then folding their hand. This may seem strange however it actually makes the game much faster. If a player has won all the money, then after the time for betting, he may just continue to play. However, after the betting period is over the player could be required to leave the pot or stop playing. A check raise is usually an attempt to bluff - other players will be aware that you are bluffing, therefore they will fold their cards and hand you all money. This is what makes the game fast!

National Erasmus Games (former ESNOLYMPICS) is a national ESN project based on the idea of olympic games. Divided in 3 stages: local, national and international. The first stage consists of local level play-offs where the team representing the city is determined. The team consists of 11 players (including at least 2 girls). Then, chosen teams meet at the national final, organised by one of the ESN sections (the last final games happened place at Warsaw from 13-15 April 2018). The team that wins there plays at the international level representing Poland at International Erasmus Games that take place at one of the European cities. The games played are futsal, basketball and volleyball.


Inverness Caledonian Thistle 3 Kilmarnock 1
Hosts' boss Craig Brewster dropped Don Cowie in favour Iain Vigurs, while Killie were without defender Garry Hay, who is carrying a knee injury.
Inverness keeper Michael Fraser came back in for Ryan Esson, who played in the extra-time win against Morton in the Co-operative Insurance Cup.
It took only four minutes for the visitors to steal into the lead. Frazer Wright lofted in a free-kick and keeper Fraser failed to deal with it, Conor Sammon was on hand to knock the ball home from eight yards.
The Highlanders almost replied after 15 minutes when Andy Barrowman fed the ball to Roy McBain, but the midfielder shot well wide.
Moments later Sammon leapt to head a Barrowman effort off the line from a Vigurs corner.
The Inverness men were back level on 21 minutes when Phil McGuire shot home from the edge of the box after a Richard Hastings free-kick was not properly cleared.
Twice after that Ian Black was denied with fierce shots by keeper Alan Combe as Inverness upped the tempo.
Their chance to get in front arrived for Inverness just three minutes from the interval when Craig Bryson seemed to take down Barrowman.
After protests from Killie produced yellow cards for Combe and skipper James Fowler for dissent, the former Birmingham forward smashed the ball high into the net.
Killie's job in the second half would be getting a grip of the game again which the Caley Jags were now in control of.
Challenges were frequent and yellow cards were flashed for fouls by Vigurs and Jamie Hamill.
Chances were few and far between in the second period and Killie's task became harder when Fowler's second booking for deliberate handball forced him off the pitch.
The gloss was added to the result with ten minutes to go when the diminutive Ian Black headed home a corner from Vigurs, despite an attempt on the line to keep it out.

A few of my thoughts:
- Patriots open up at home against the Bengals, a clash of two playoff teams. Can’t really remember the last time the Patriots didn’t open at home.
- The Patriots will face the Jets week 2 for the third straight year, as they travel to the Meadowlands as the Jets open their new stadium.
- The week 2 game against the Jets will kick off a round robin of AFC East games. After week 4, the Patriots won’t play another division game until week 13.
- The Patriots have a very early bye week 5. While it is generally better to get as late of a bye as possible, as Tedy Bruschi pointed out on ESPN last night, the early bye will give Wes Welker an extra week to recover, and may allow him to return one game earlier.
- Following the bye, the Patriots will have their toughest stretch of the season. They will face the Ravens, Chargers, and Vikings in back to back to back games. They will follow that up with a trip to Cleveland, before facing a 2 game home stand against the Steelers and the rival Colts.
- The Patriots will come off a short week after a tough game against the Colts and face the Detroit Lions in a Thanksgiving day match-up. The last time the Patriots played on Thanksgiving in 2002, a game in which they won. Not sure how I feel about this, but it’s always cool to see your favorite team on a holiday.
- After the Thanksgiving game, the Patriots will not have another warm game. They wrap up their season with division games with a contest at Buffalo, and a home game against the Dolphins.

Online Blackjack Strategies
Blackjack can be an online casino gambling game similar to craps. The most famous online casino gambling game, it uses stacks of 52 cards and rises from the international network of online casino gambling games called Twenty-One. This international network of online cards include the British version of Craps, Vingt-et-Un and the European version of Vistoria. Each version of Blackjack has unique characteristics that set it apart from the other.
Blackjack could be a very fun game to play, both for individuals who enjoy playing blackjack for fun and for those who enjoy playing blackjack for the money. Because it can be an online casino game, it is possible to play for free. You don’t need to deposit anything to be a part of the game or bet hardly any money. Blackjack players can use a variety of strategies when playing blackjack including, but not limited by Card Counting and Card Analysis.
Card counting is the process of looking at a blackjack table and determining just how many players are in fact visible at the table. Usually this kind of strategy depends on two cards that are both visible and may be dealt to the players. Those two cards are used as a basis for the rest of the players’ cards. The ball player counting the cards will then determine how many more cards the remaining players have to deal with. It’s a simple and fast method for players to determine just how many cards are left and how much they need to win.
Card analysis differs than card counting in that it doesn’t be determined by the cards that are visible. Instead it relies on the data of the starting hand. By consulting an ace value guide, a blackjack player can estimate how good he’s at selecting a starting hand. Even if a player gets unlucky and deals out an Ace King or an Ace Queen, it’s still possible to come out with a higher hand by carefully reading the value on the card.
Most players concentrate on using favourable starting hands in blackjack. In a casino version of blackjack these hands can often be crucial to your success. For those who have a favourable starting hand, you stand a far greater chance of winning. It could be difficult to determine exactly which starting hands are most favourable, though. In a live blackjack game, however, these hands could be valued based on the connection with the other players plus they can be weighed against bets made by real blackjack players to determine which ones tend to be more favourable.
In most blackjack games, a new player is permitted to call a bet after he’s got closed his position. This means that he doesn’t have to put up any cash or consent to exchange any cards. He is able to simply wait until his stake or bank roll has been raised to a pre-determined amount. That is considered to be a favourable time for players to place a blackjack bet. In the end, their original bet hasn’t been lost yet!
Blackjack strategy guides sometimes point out that playing a hand alone is a more strategic way of playing blackjack than utilizing the strategy of a pair or perhaps a single. Some casinos allow blackjack players to split a pot between two hands, so for example a player can split a pot between a set of straights and a straight. This strategy can be highly ideal for the player who has a poor hand, as it could sometimes decrease the size of the pot that’s offered around the losing player. However, blackjack players should be aware that casinos usually do not always offer a smallish pot, so splitting a pot can only just be successful if the ball player is really unlucky along with his initial hand.
Among the key strategies used to win at blackjack would be to increase the strength of one’s starting hand. You do this by ensuring you have significantly more cards than your opponents do. In many variations of blackjack the player with the best starting hand is thought to be at a big advantage. The reason being in a world where cards are valued, the Ace of Aces will probably be worth 카지노 사이트 twice as much because the King’s Ace and 3 x as much as the Jack of Aces. It therefore makes sense for players to start their games with strong aces such as the Ace of Dots or the Ace of Spades. Once they are added to the starting hand a new player stands a good chance of winning.

On my way to work today, I killed seven civilians, three hookers, eluded a police chase and blew up a mall.
No, this is not what I did in my real life (at least not today), but rather, this is a typical five-minute stretch in the universe of Grand Theft Auto. In the epic Rockstar video game, killing people is as trivial as breathing.
Given the opportunity to roleplay and live vicariously through a character in an expansive world that tries to emulate the one we live in, there are no rules. Okay, fine, if you kill someone, you get a star, which means the police are after you. But then you just kill the police. Problem solved.
In Grand Theft Auto, nobody is watching you. No one is judging. So why wouldn’t you commit murder, arson and thievery? It’s as harmless as stepping on one of those walking mushrooms in Super Mario. Except in this game, you’re killing people who more closely resemble actual people.
Even the older classic games, like Asteroids, involved the act of harming other entities. Just because the graphics were shitty doesn’t mean there weren’t little people or aliens in those triangular shaped flying saucers.
I no longer play video games. The last console I owned was Playstation 2. I was mostly a sports gamer, but I played the prior GTA installments, Vice City and San Andreas, and for hours at a time. Rockstar spends years creating these impressively large worlds, and it’s a lot of fun to go to all four corners and explore them.
When I wasn’t doing missions, I did what everyone else did — create as much mischief as possible so that not only is the police coming after you, but the freaking military.
It’s always impossible to predict what we will do in our lives. We live a long time and anything can happen. However, I can safely say with the utmost certainty that I will never go on a killing spree. So why not do it for fun on Grand Theft Auto?
And yes. It is fun. You’re killing fake people. Again, it’s no different that overcoming villains in any other video games.
People look at the game and see the violence, and they say that it’ll have an adverse effect on our society. They say that some will get ideas from it, and transfer it to real life.
My belief, though, is if someone is that easy to manipulate — that they could play a video game and be inspired to commit crime — than they were probably bad news to begin with. If it wasn’t Grand Theft Auto, then it would have been something else. Any sane, stable-minded person knows the difference between video games and reality.
There will inevitably be at least one story that comes out in the next month about a 16-year-old boy who committed a crime, and, to mask the fact that her kid is a psychopath, his mother will say to the media that she believes it was Grand Theft Auto that influenced him. And the media will run with it. I’m just telling you to be prepared, because it’s going to happen, and it’s a load of crap.
In fact, I think one can even make the argument that these games prevent crime. I say this because who knows what sick and twisted fantasies are in people’s heads, and maybe this game gives people an outlet for that. I’m not hailing Grand Theft Auto as a crime stopper just yet, but I think that argument has just as much validity as saying the game causes crime.
But anyway, the point is that these games are awesome. Rockstar spent so much time working on this game, that the map in Grand Theft Auto V is bigger than the maps of three previous games combined. And considering how large the worlds were in the previous games, that’s pretty amazing.
So it doesn’t surprise me at all that the game made (cue Dr. Evil) one billion dollars in three days, the fastest video game to do so.
It just shows that people like having a respite, an escape, an outlet for their stressful day-to-day lives. There’s already plenty of mediums out there to fulfill that need, but when a popular, acclaimed video game company gives people the opportunity to wreak havoc and cause mayhem in a shockingly realistic world to the one that pisses us so often, well, you’d be stupid not to participate.
And, I don’t know… just talking about Grand Theft Auto gave me the sudden urge to go for a walk outside. With a baseball bat. And brass knuckles.
We’ll see how this goes.

Founded in 1905, the club competes in the Premier League, the top flight of English football. Chelsea is a very successful soccer club in England. They have won many trophies, including six league titles, eight FA Cups, five League Cups, four FA Community Shields, two UEFA Champions League titles, two UEFA Europa League titles, two UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup titles, and one UEFA Super Cup.
Currently, Chelsea is in the fourth position in the Premier League. They have won 10 games, drawn 4, and lost 3. They are 10 points behind the leaders, Arsenal, but still have a game left to play. The team has been playing well recently, winning their last three games.
Mason Mount is doing really well for Chelsea this season. He’s 23 years old and plays in the midfield. In 17 games, he scored 6 goals and assisted 3 times in the Premier League.
Thiago Silva, who is 38 years old, is an important defender for Chelsea. He’s been solid at the back and his experience and leadership are crucial for the team.

The Blues Recent Success and What Lies Ahead
In the 2022-23 season, Chelsea won the Champions League, adding another trophy to their collection. This was their second Champions League title in the last nine years, showing that they are one of the best teams in Europe.
Chelsea has done well not only in Europe but also in the Premier League. In the 2022-23 season, they ended up in third place. Players like Mason Mount, Reece James, and Thiago Silva make Chelsea a strong team that can be challenging for any opponent.
Transfer Market Prowess
Chelsea has been doing really well lately, and part of the reason for their success is making smart choices in the transfer market. Since Todd Boehly took over, the club has made clever signings, like getting talented players such as Raheem Sterling and Kalidou Koulibaly.
Chelsea has a really good team, a great manager, and strong owners. This means they are in a good position to do well in the future. In the 2023-24 season, they will try to win both the Premier League and the Champions League again.
Even though Chelsea has been doing well lately, they still have some problems. They have a busy schedule and play in many competitions all season. It’s important for them to keep enough good players and make sure everyone stays fit to keep doing well.

In one of the wildest games you will ever see, the Great Lakes Loons outlasted the Clinton LumberKings to become the 2016 Midwest League Champions. It's the first time in franchise history that the Loons have claimed the league title.
Since the home of the Loons was constructed in 2006, the playing surface at Dow Diamond had remained the same. Following the conclusion of the Midwest League Championship, a field replacement process began. Working with Nolan Thomas and Company and the Tuckahoe Sod Farm, updates will be made to the playing surface and structures beneath the field.
The Great Lakes Loons and Los Angeles Dodgers today announced an extension of their player development contract for an additional two seasons through 2018. Since 2007, the Loons have been affiliated with the Dodgers and have won over 600 games. The Loons have also had over 2.5 million fans come through the gates at Dow Diamond.


First my usual disclaimer: This is a prediction. If you choose to agree with me and bet that is your choice, not mine. Leftoverright is not responsible for any lost wages due to your bet. That is all.
After careful, painful consideration I'm going to make a prediction on the only game that matters in town tomorrow:
Kings 4 Ducks 3
Seriously though I tried to come up with a way UCLA could win the game and I can't so here we go:
And I don't think the score will really reflect the game. UCLA will score a late touchdown.
By the way there is a first tomorrow: First time UCLA plays USC, The Kings play the Ducks and the Lakers play the Clippers all in the same day.


Do you ever playing game in your leisure time? I do. And I almost do play game in my leisure time. Can’t help, just as Nokia ever said that everybody still have child inside. Remember the ads? When it show Bill Gate play snake in the mobile phone? No? Very old ads actually. Nobody remember? Come on, do you pretend that you are still young, ups.
Back to the topic. For me playing game not only to fill my leisure time but also have a moral lesson to be learn. I won’t tell you the negative side of game, such as someone who addict in playing game forget everything, his family, his study, his job, etc and spend their life just for game. Game addicts. That’s not the one that I want to talk about. But instead that I want to give one lesson that game teach me. That one is GROWTH.
Before I continue, I would like share to you some terminology about game which you should know and remember at least this time.
- Hero, it’s the main character whom you play as. Usually hero is a good guy, someone who hold on truth and justice, he walk around the world to destroy evil
- Enemy, enemy is enemy of main character, that can be bad guy, monster, and usually it is great in number.
- Enemy Boss, this is monster which more powerfull than ordinary monster
- Battle, when the hero meet with monster, he can’t stop it and he must fight to destroy the monster. During the battle hero will have HP (Hit Point) so do monster. They will hit each other and it will damage the opposite HP until one their HP reach 0. If the monster’s HP reach 0, it’s means that your hero win. That’s how usually the game work.
- Experience, everytime your hero defeat a monster, he will get experience, this experience will make your hero level up after it’s reach some level.
- Armor and weapon, you need it to equip you so you can deal more damage into monster and receive less damage when hitted by monster.
OK, enough introduction now I want to tell you about how playing a game can be inpiring my life the way to grow. In a game when you want become stronger, you need to:
- Level up, yes it’s totally neccessary to level up your heroes. With higer level your hero can defeat more monster, moreover he can defeat more powerful monster. So how can your hero level up? He need experience, and the experience is got by fighting the monster with less power. It’s giving me lesson, that if meet a small task in your life, consider it as small monster. If you can finish it, you will gain experience in the real meaning. So then for all small task you receive, don’t refuse it, just take it and finish it as you way of getting experience. And believe me that some day a bigger task will come, and it a sign that you have LEVEL UP your life.
- Use the best armor and weapon. This the way your hero grow up too. Using a best armor, your hero will survive. And using best weapon your hero can deal damage more so than he can defeat the enemy faster. In our life sometime we also need this armor and weapon. It’s not in the real meaning, but in my perspective, armor is the filter about something come in to us. Today we experience a crisis situation and there are many bad news to us. So it’s will be very good if we can filter bad information, which can depress ourself and let us down. But we will proceed with good information which help us to be optimistic and grow. Weapon is more like skill for me. The good weapon should be sharp. So we need to have a sharp skill in this world so we can fight each problem which come to us. The more skill and deeper skill, the more easier each problem can be faced.
- Take a rest, hero in all of game need to take a rest before he fight another monster. This is a good example that in real life we need to have a time when we let our body resting. It’s a condition when you realease all your stress and try something fun. This state is called vacation. So it’s not good to you work / study all the time without rest. When your hero resting in a game, he will recover all of his power. So the next battle will be easier. So do in our life, take a rest for a moment and you will feel that your body refreshed. Sometime if not take a rest, it will work but it’s not in the effective way. Take a rest and see a better way
That’s all the game teach me. In playing a game usually we are desired to use cheat. But I don’t consider it as a good way, we just came to a highest level of our hero without experiencing anything. I just can’t satisfy with this condition.
So do in real life, belief me that it’s okay to take experience, because it will bring you a lesson. Actually to bring quality in your life, it’s need time and process, that mean gathering experince and it’s not instant. So be prepared for facing some problem and process, it’s all for your growth.
So as a last word I just want to motivate you to keep grow in all your day, because it’s good to reach the end when you have growed.

In addition to my obsessions with beads and paper, I also love playing board games. I grew up playing games all day with my Aunt LaVonne and my friends. It’s so exciting that it’s becoming popular again. For a fun show and to learn a few games, check out Will Wheaton’s show TableTop on YouTube.
A friend told me about the lists people were making under the hashtag #10x10in2014. This entails making a list of 10 games that you want to play 10 times each in 2014. There are SO many new games coming out all the time and it’s often hard to really dig into one game and play it again and again when you have so many new games sitting there waiting to be played. This challenge will help me focus on some of the games I really enjoy and give me an excuse to play them more often. Here’s a good hub to learn more at BoardGameGeek.
Here’s my list.
1. Innovation has 2 great expansions that I’ve had for awhile and never gotten around to really delving into. This game makes me feel like I could play it a lot better if I knew the cards better.
2. Trajan has a really interesting Mancala type mechanism for deciding what actions you will be taking. There are a lot of different avenues to win so it’s easy to replay and try out different options.
3. Blueprints is a simple game that involves building structures out of dice behind a blind. It’s new to me and seems like it will be a fun game to play often and quickly.
4. I have several expansions for 7 Wonders that I haven’t gotten to play with. This is a great game for a larger group as it plays up to 8 people with expansions. It’s fairly easy to learn and teach, but it becomes more complex with expansions and understanding the card chaining options.
5. I know. A lot of people are sick of Dominion, but I’m not. And I like Comic Sans too. So there. I said it. 🙂 Dominion is a deck building game that plays fairly quickly and there are currently 8 expansions that allow for lots of varied play.
6. Quarriors! is similar to a deck building game and is quite a bit like Dominion. Instead of building a deck, you are buying dice to add to your pool that you then equip and use to fight the other players. For someone like me that likes beads and baubles, all of the amazing dice that are in this game just beg to be played with again and again.
7. King Of Tokyo is a fun dice game that plays up to 6 with the necessary Panda Power Up expansion. Easy to teach and easy to play, it’s a great game for a larger group. And I get to be a Panda. I can’t stress how important that is. 🙂
8. Speaking of pandas…Takenoko is a whole game about Pandas eating bamboo. I’m in. ‘Nuff said.
9. Village won awards in 2012 for being a great family game. Like Trajan, there are multiple avenues to achieving the end game and by playing it often, I get to explore them all.
10. Lords of Waterdeep and the Scoundrels of Skullport expansion is a favorite of several of my gaming groups. Don’t let the Dungeon & Dragons tag on this stop you from playing if you aren’t into D&D. It’s really just the theme.
So that’s my 10. There were MANY that I wanted to add, (Luna, Smash Up, Eminent Domain, Monolith…) that just didn’t make the cut. Maybe if I get 10 of something done early, I can substitute one in. My birthday was Jan. 1st and my boyfriend said he’d play the first game with me–Innovation. Unfortunately, he didn’t give me a win for my birthday. 😦 Our next Game Day is in the middle of January so I hope to make a small dent in this list.


If you are looking to find the best free online games on PC, look no further than the free variations of the world-famous Diablo and Final Fantasy video games. Diablo is a popular free-to-play MMO and features microtransactions, but you can avoid those by simply playing a free expansion every few months. On the other hand, Standing Stone Game’s free-to-play Middle-Earth MMO lets you enjoy in a community based on Tolkien’s Middle-Earth. Additionally it is fun to play and the trial version of this game caps your progress for level sixty.
Another free of charge game with regards to PC that is still well worth playing is normally Spelunky, a procedurally-generated adventure inspired by classic 8-bit games. This kind of game features snakes, big river rocks, dig this ice caves, plus more. You can restart matches immediately, too, that makes it one of the most addicting free games available. There are various multiplayer settings, each with its private unique rules and aims. You can task your friends within a friendly competition to see who are able to get through the hardest levels first of all.
In addition to offering free-to-play content, the very best free video games are also moral microtransactions for the purpose of superfans. That they range from military to sci-fi to dream to card battles, and there’s a video game for every sort of PC person. If you want to get started on a new genre, try the best free game titles. You’ll be able to play hundreds of hours of action for no cost!


On August 13th 2016 the halls of Warhammer World hosted the first ever Warhammer Age of Sigmar Open Day, and hundreds of excited fans came to enjoy the experience.
Let’s look at some of what happened at the Warhammer Age of Sigmar Open Day!
Meet the Design Studio Teams
One of the highlights of an Open Day is getting to talk to the creative people who breathe life into the worlds and miniatures you love. At the Warhammer Age of Sigmar Open Day there were ongoing live demonstrations of sculpting and painting from the experts, and dedicated Demonstration Pods delving into more detail.
Many people flocked to see Miniatures Designer Trish Carden revealing her MASSIVE dragon for the first time, which is currently a work in progress for Forge World.
Seeing work in progress is a rare thing, but the Warhammer World Studio Team surprised visitors to the Open Day with not only their finished Sylvaneth diorama, but also their part built Orruk diorama. The two dioramas show different areas of the same battle, and are coming soon to the Warhammer World Exhibition Centre.
The Clash of Battle
It’s not often you get to play a game with one of it’s writers! Getting dice rolling in the final few days of the Season of War campaign, Warhammer Age of Sigmar fans engaged in their own Bring and Battle games, and special participation games.
Speaking of gaming, plenty of visitors tried out some more technological game play, taking the chance to try out new computer games.
Golden Demon: Warhammer
Held as part of the Warhammer Age of Sigmar Open Day was a Golden Demon Painting Competition with a theme of Warhammer miniatures. Amazingly intricately painted miniatures kept fans gazing in awe, and 18 Golden Demon trophies were awarded. Martin Waller’s superb painting efforts saw him raise the Slayer Sword for best miniature in show, to the applause of the full Events Hall.
If that’s got you excited, make sure you’re following Warhammer World on Facebook, and are signed up to our newsletter, so you’ll find out first about future Open Day events with us.


Bafana beat Seychelles 6 – 0
Bafana record their biggest win
Saturday 13 October Bafana met Seychelles in a 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier at the FNB Stadium for a resounding home win.
The hosts were impressive across the park. Special mention must be made of the fantastic combination between Tau and Mothiba that terrorized the Indian Oceaner’s defense throughout the game!
SA were dominant from the first blow of the whistle, but didn’t find the back of the net till the 23rd minute. After the deadlock was broken the flood gates opened and Bafana found the net 2 more times within 4 minutes.
At the break South Africa had a comfortable 3 goal lead.
The second half was much the same. RSA had the majority of the possession. It was not until the 74th minute that Bafana found the net again. Tau with a left foot effort to take the score to 4 – 0. Goals from Ndlovu in the 81st and Mokoena in stoppage time helped the home side to an impressive victory.
Coach Stuart Baxter was no doubt left impressed by his teams possession, pressure and territory dominance. However he is keeping his eye on the future and will no doubt not get carried away too soon.
Bafana played with confidence and passion, and it is no doubt heartening for the supporters to see their side moving the ball around. Players are settling in comfortably and PSL stars who have shined within the Absa premier league finally take that form to the international stage.
Next up for Bafana
RSA meet the Seychelles in the return fixture at the Stade Linite on Tuesday 16 October. The game will kick off at 15:30 local time.
Baxter will be hoping that the dominant performance was not a flash in the pan. He will no doubt look to build on the weekends performance and edge closer to qualifying.

Video game company Nintendo has sold out its new product, Nintendo Switch, immediately upon release.
Nintendo’s newest gaming console is named Switch because of its dual nature: it functions as a portable console or a device linked to a television, much like a traditional console. According to Japanese game magazine Famitsu, Nintendo sold around 330,637 units of the Switch in Japan within the first three days of its launch. Similarly, Nintendo of America revealed that the Switch sold out faster than any other Nintendo system in the US.
Despite earning praises, the Switch also had to deal with doubts from the public due to the underwhelming performance of the Wii U, its immediate precursor. Although the Wii U was released back in 2012, only 13.56 million units were sold as of March 2017. Among the reasons for Wii U’s underperformance are the lack of support from third-party developers, weak hardware compared to its rivals, and some constraints on its online features.
Nintendo has struggled to develop a product that could rival Sony’s PlayStation 4 and Microsoft’s Xbox One because both consoles have been in the market since 2013. Currently, the company hopes that the Switch could succeed against its competitors in areas where the Wii U failed to deliver.
To give the Switch an edge, Nintendo allows multiplayer gaming by connecting several Switch systems together. Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime stated that the Switch gives gamers the liberty to customize their gaming experience. In addition, the new device allows game developers to bring more of their ideas to life.


Online casinos have long ceased to be just a digital version of traditional gambling establishments. Thanks to the rapid development of technology, they have evolved into innovative platforms that offer a unique gaming experience.
Below, the veil will be lifted, providing a glimpse into the world of modern online casinos to understand how technology has transformed the industry, improving user interaction and pushing the boundaries of traditional gambling. For an example of how this is happening, all you have to do is look at the Lucky Jet online game.
Development of gaming platforms
The evolution of online gaming platforms began with the transition from primitive interfaces to complex multifunctional systems. Early versions of online casinos often mimicked the look and feel of traditional slot machines, but over time, they evolved into more complex and interactive platforms.
Modern web-based virtual casino platforms offer high performance, ensuring a smooth and fast gaming experience. They establish cooperation with various payment systems, constantly improve security, and provide various gaming options – from classic slots to live dealer games or a completely new computer game like Lucky Jet India.
Technological innovations in platform development have contributed to an improved user experience. They have allowed for easy navigation, personalized settings, and intuitive interfaces that make gameplay easy and enjoyable, even for those new to online gambling.
Graphics and audio-visual effects
State-of-the-art 3D graphics and quality sound are essential for creating an immersive gaming experience and interesting atmosphere. High-quality graphics, lively animations, and realistic sound effects make online casino games exciting and visually appealing.
Developers are constantly looking for new ways to improve the visuals and sounds of the games. From 3D graphics to VR technology, all these innovations aim to make gameplay more realistic and immersive. This allows gamblers to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of a real casino without leaving their home.
In addition, modern technology makes it possible to create games that adapt to the user’s preferences and action style, offering them a unique and personalized experience. This not only increases engagement but also helps to build a long-term interest in gambling entertainment. However, for many people, it is not just a way to have a good time but also an opportunity to earn good money, using, for example, Lucky Jet signals at telegram.
Interactivity and gamification
These are two key elements that greatly enhance the gaming experience at online casinos. Gamification, which includes traditional video game elements such as competitive challenges, achievements, and levels, adds an extra dimension to the standard gambling experience.
Well, interactive elements such as multiplayer tournaments and live dealer games help create a sense of community among gamblers. This provides additional engagement and social interaction, making gameplay more dynamic and exciting.
Future innovations in interactivity and gamification promise to make online casinos an even more attractive and exciting place for players. The development of new mechanics and formats will continue to attract and retain audiences, offering them new and unusual ways to gamble, which, thanks to the Lucky Jet hack, can be turned into a good source of income.
Mobile technology and accessibility
The growing favor of smartphones and tablets has led to mobile online casinos becoming an integral part of the gaming industry. The development of mobile versions of online casinos allows people to enjoy their famous games on the go, providing the same degree of graphics and functionality as desktop versions. This convenience and accessibility have greatly expanded the potential user base, attracting new demographic groups.
The future of mobile online casinos looks promising, thanks to constantly improving technology and increasing internet connection speeds. Mobile casinos will continue to adapt to new technological trends, offering an even better and more convenient gaming experience.
Security and fair play
In the digital age, ensuring the security of customer data and financial transactions has become a top priority. Modern encryption methods such as SSL (Secure Socket Layer) protect players’ personal information and finances.
Advances in technology also help to ensure integrity at all stages. For example, certified random number generators (RNG) ensure that the results in online slots and other games are completely random, and therefore, any manipulation is ruled out. Regular audits by independent organizations confirm that the gaming process is fair and unbiased. However, users use various tricks and develop software and services that simplify earnings. A good example is Lucky Jet’s online predictor, which allows you to use the probability theory to your advantage.
In addition, technology helps in combating fraud and problems due to gambling addiction. Systems for monitoring and analyzing player behavior can recognize suspicious activities and take action to protect players and preserve the casino’s reputation.
Technology undoubtedly plays a crucial role in developing the online casino industry. These innovations, from improving gaming platforms and implementing advanced graphics solutions to applying artificial intelligence to personalize the gaming experience, greatly enhance the appeal of online casinos for players.


intense day of gaming today - finally managed to get together enough people to play 'diplomacy'
(after owning it many months). my gaming friends are mostly civil servants anyway ... and civil servants are the kind of people who think 'diplomacy' sounds like an awesome game.
to my eternal shame i was clearly heard standing outside my house saying 'i'm going to betray jordan' about 3 moves into the game. after 6 (ish) hours, only one person had been eliminated. i had the most supply centres (i was turkey), and fortunately we'd all agreed to end after 6 (ish) hours - so we stopped.
then everyone left, apart from the guy who got eliminated - and the people who actually live in my house with me returned. we discussed the experience. he hadn't enjoyed it, because he doesn't really like social games (he gave the examples of 'werewolf' and 'avalon'). and i said - i hadn't really enjoyed it either, overall, despite the fact that he lost, and i won. ultimately it was an extremely draining 6 (ish) hours, we STILL hadn't finished, or done much to get us towards the point where someone might be winning, and the gameplay itself wasn't a lot of fun - it was all too intense, and backstabby and not that... game-y (because the moves were so simple).
very interesting as an experience (and probably quite entertainng for the guys who sit outside the pub, who must have seen us periodically emerge and then say things like 'i want albania' or 'get out of sevastapol' to each other, without context), and i'm glad we had a chance to crack out the board at last... but yes. can't imagine i'll be played it often. or... again. (well - maybe one more time. erin didn't get to play at all and would probably like to for the experience). i also think at least some of the people who came round genuinely enjoyed it.
after that those who were now assembled (four of us, three from the house + one) played one of my many new acquisitions: castles of the mad king ludwig
. played this at the board game cafe a while ago and really liked it. it's really expensive, even for one of these games, but i saw it for ... slightly cheaper on ebay recently, and bought it - because it's a really swell game. before playing it, i thought i wouldn't like it much more than fellow tile-laying game carcassone (which i don't like that much) but clearly that isn't the case. i really like the theme, and it's well represented by the tiles. i also like the differing ways that you can score points, and although i always seem to lose as a result of it, i think the master-builder mechanic (which allows one player to set prices for pieces on offer, and then receive money from other players) is nice. it's also quick - and after playing diplomacy for 6-ish hours... that really is a major advantage. we all really enjoyed this game, except maybe for xander who was playing it for the first time - and lost his second game of the day. almost certainly going to become a firm favourite in our house, justifying it's stupid price-tag.
then... FINALLY ... i managed to
convince meghan and a very tired erin to play that game i'd wanted to play for more than a week. yes - time to play: T.I.M.E. Stories
! i was only a bit interested in this game (currently 28 on BGG's list of best games ever) until erin got £15 ebay vouchers if you spent £30 (thanks ebay!) and we decided to buy a game. T.I.M.E. Stories was pretty much the only one on my wishlist of the right price - it arrived: i became obsessed with playing it, and due to the ridiculous amount of theatre that we have seen over the last week or so... the three of us haven't been in the house together since it arrived :(
so - despite an intense day of gaming, today we T.I.M.E. Storied for the first time. if you don't now what this game is - basically, it's a story-based co-op (or team) game where you travel around a location, fighting and/or talking your way out of trouble by rolling dice. you collect objects which help you explore other areas, or otherwise explain the mystery. it's almost certainly one use only once you beat the mystery - but you can buy expansions (which are also one-use only, but surprisingly not widely available on the secondary market). we didn't beat the mystery, but we learned lots of stuff not
to do next time.
good fun was had by ... at least two of us, and erin definitely woke up enough to participate during. but alas - meghan has a friend over for THE REST OF THE WEEK... so we won't resume our journey until the weekend :( it's fun - light, though, as you'd expect from dice-based co-op. i'm assuming this is fine though as the secondary market is, as i said, very buoyant - you can easily sell for what you paid, so it's merely a temporary investment. and as a temporary investment... it's good fun. I WANT TO PLAY AGAIN.


gamification, user-control, game architecture, egalitarian design tools
Building Blocks is a video game that allows any person to mock-up the future development of their city. We developed Building Blocks through Unity.
The game is an easy-to-use design tool that allows any citizen to participate in design workshopping without any knowledge of 3d modeling programs.
Cube blocks of brick townhouses, glassy buildings, roads, powerplants, and parks simplify the design process into stacking building blocks. By using a standard block size with a range of forms and textures, every block is compatible with the next.
design tools for the layperson
This game was developed to be a fun and simple as a proof of concept. A more robust future version may allow users to upload an existing model or a portion from Google Earth. Other features could allow players to design, upload and share their own building blocks.
Designers of the future should develop design tools and games to extend control over design work to people outside of the design profession. Designers can facilitate design processes rather than dominating the entire process. Game development allows designers to encode building regulations, structural capabilities and other guidelines that help frame design problems for the layperson.
This game was inspired from the game BlockHoods which was developed by Jose Sanchez and a team at the University of Southern California School of Architecture.
Games like Sim City and MineCraft already allow anyone to design worlds, however these games don’t yet extend the capability to workshopping designs for the real world. The aim of Building Blocks is to bring games a step closer to design workshopping capabilites while retaining the fun and ease of playing games.
