This games is exactly as going to a fair with the typical games. They are interesting simple games and you wont have to pay tickets for playing everytime you want. Believe me, the sensation is the same as playing this games for real. Some are frustrating, some are quite easy and some others are difficult, but with practice you will become a winner.

The multiplayer mode can be a little bit boring, because you can participate simultaneously on some games but you will have to wait for your turn on most of them. This makes the gameplay a little bit slow but it can be interesting after all. This is the kind of games that you can enjoy in a party with friends. I would give it a 7 from 1 to 10 for the multiplayer mode.

During the single player mode, you will be unlocking objects for your character and up to three extra games on every alley (they are the same as the ones you play in the alley, but with a slight difference that makes them more difficult)

On every alley, you will find a “non competitive” machine, this is a machine that costs tickets, but you wont be able to score any points. They are for fortune telling, love telling, coin cascade, mumpet . They apply a little bit more of fun without competition.

You can give it a try renting it and if you like it, then you can buy it.

Brought by Rockstar Games, this Wii game is a Table Tennis simulator, quite easy to play because you can just predict movements and your character will hit the ball with the effects you prepared when it reaches your pad.

The first time I played this game, I selected a tournament (on easy mode, of course!) and I won without many problems. On the first game I got used to the controls and understood that I could predict movements (because at the beginning I was trying to hit the ball when it was on the exact possition to be hit, but it didn’t work) On the second game, I learnt about effects and practiced a bit with them.

Everytime you do something that could have been done better, a hint appears on the screen telling you how to enhance your gameplay, but sometimes you miss this hint because everytime you score, you can view the replay or skip it by hitting the “A” button and you also skip the hint with the “A” button too, so at the beginning, you watch sometimes the replays, but as you play forward, after scoring, you keep pressing the “A” button repeteadly to skip the replay as soon as possible to go for the next point.

You can play just with the wiimote (Standard mode - you wont control your character’s position) or with the wiimote and a nunchuck (”Control Freak” mode - you will be able to control your character or “Sharp Shooter” mode - You will control the “ball palcement” with the analog stick)

People who like Table Tennis will enjoy this game very much. It is full of possibilities. It is a more strategic game than a reflexes one.

There are so many persons on this world, so many ideas , so many projects, so many blogs on Internet, that we cannot have time for each person, idea, project or blog, but although it, we read a lot of information while we surf the net, about different persons, ideas, projects and blogs. The result is a lot of new ideas and projects in our mind that we would like to work on or continue investigating, but we can’t find time for them all. It makes us becoming axious, waking up extremely soon in the morning and keeping us busy on weekends and even free days.

Could it be that there are not so many things out there, but as we don’t know them all, we think they are a lot more than what they really are?

Do all this things persons, ideas, projects and blogs complete a circle of knowledge all together?

Is all this information redundant? Repetitive?

Has anybody had time to see them all?

If we would think about it, we would probably won’t find enough time in one life to fulfill even a bunch of this ideas.

Every time I surf on Internet, I find very interesting things. Things that worth having a look at them. Tutorials about building or testing something, free information, free powerful software, free ideas, free plans, etc.

The conclusion is that nowadays we have “so many” information out there and, “so little” time in our lives to test, develop and master on them all, that I can understand very well a life of constant investigation like the life of Leonardo da Vinci, who died willing to study a lot more of what he did. How would he had reacted if he had to live nowadays? He would probably have died of a heart attack from stress.

Energy waste is one of the most useless energy consumption cases. Any device emitting light, heat, sound or a simple buzz are consuming energy even if we are not using them. Bear in mind that energy is transformed to this light, heat, sound or buzz. They are like dripping energy taps that waste drops of energy, and this small drops joined together, create a big stream of wasted energy.

For example, your mobile’s power supply. If you have it always plugged in it is always consuming energy. Put your ear on it and you will hear a buzz. This happens because there is energy going through it, making a vibration on its components. It may not be an extremely big consumption, but it is a useless consumption.

The same happens with any device that has got a power supply. Even if the devices are switched off, the power supply is not, resulting in a dripping energy tap.

Some devices have an internal power supply and this makes it not so obvious, because when you switch them off, what you are doing is switching off the main circuits from the power supply, but the internal power supply is still being fed and consuming energy (you can check it by putting you ear on it too)

Needless to say that if it has got a stand-by led or light, it is because some part of its circuits are consuming energy. For example, if you switch off a TV without the standby led, you will save a 10% of energy. Think about it. The TV is a lot more time in stand-by mode, than switched on.

Most devices work on low voltage, so this means that they need a power supply. If the device has got a tough switch, I mean, a switch that you can feel that is switching the full voltage of the line or that it is attached between the plug and the device, then we have a mechanical energy saving switch, because it interrupts the full power that comes through the line. But if the switch is electronic, small, works on infrared or it just makes a slight click (like a mouse button) It will be a low power switch, which means that it is placed between the power supply and the device’s main circuits. Thus, some part of the device and the power supply, are always consuming energy.

The only way to solve this energy waste is unplugging every device when we are not using them, or installing a multiple socket with switch between our devices and the main socket, so it can interrupt completely the energy with one switch.

Think about it and try plugging devices just when you are going to use them.

Some days ago, I recieved this video that I think it has been created by the wisdom, acquired by years, of an old person who wants to transmit it to the rest of the world.

Listen to every phrase and as I always say, think about it and put it in practice. Life is much simpler than what society and marketing make us believing.
