How to find free music online

Categories: Music | May 29th, 2008 | by ShRi | no comments

Almost everyone has heard of the massive repression against Internet music piracy that has occurred in recent years. Napster was taken down (although it has now returned as a paid service), other programs sharing files now require users to pay for a license and the RIAA and other organizations are doing their best to track offenders of copyright and put an end to their crime sprees. Consumers on the other hand, argue that their actions hurt anyone, there is no damage to anyone by their not buy an album. In addition, they say, MP3 enable them to enjoy a CD before you buy, which actually help sales.

I am not here to discuss the advantages and disadvantages. Basically it is not worth it, given that neither side of the argument will ever see the opposition’s point of view. What I want to do is take a look at completely free and legal alternative to “steal” music. These talented musicians who are willing to put their creations online to download for free, only for the sake of spreading their creations to the masses.

Free music is surprisingly easy to find, even music by famous bands. Sometimes it must be “streamed” of the Internet, which means that you can not listen to a song while you are online, but with the growing popularity of broadband Internet is not really a issue. Sites such as MP3.com and purevolume.com provide free music from almost any band you can think of, although there are a lot of what must be streamed, not downloaded. A search for “free legal MP3 downloads be a very large number of pages to visit.

For something specific, try visiting the website of the artist or the site of their label. They often provide a sample of a few songs to download for free. This is not quite as simple as access to every song you want, but this is not a bad solution.

Breakfast at Tiffany’s

This film Audrey Hepburn, widely recognized and widely regarded as one of the classics of 20th century cinema, simply appeal to women on many different levels. The level is an elegant style of Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly in her little black dress, jewelry and reed-thin cigarette holder. On another level is the complexity of the attraction and the relationship between Holly Golightly author and his neighbour Paul Varjak. On another level is the haunting song Moon River, composed by Henry Mancini and sung by Audrey Hepburn herself. What this film does not scream â € œchick flickâ €?

Back From the Dead: the Snuff Film is Reborn

Categories: Books | May 29th, 2008 | by ShRi | no comments

Two new books are bringing renewed interest in one of the most popular urban legends of the past 30 years: “snuff” film.

CRIMSON ORGY by Austin Williams, just released this month by Borderlands Press, explores the realization of a notorious low-budget horror film in 1965 with the same title, to someone who had suffered a horrible death in front of the camera. This book has already been branded an instant cult classic by members of the blogosphere who managed to get their hands on advance copies (which is published first on eBay last summer.)

In May 2008, Doubleday released snuff by Chuck Palahniuk, on the completion of a pornographic video including 600 men and a woman who is estimated to end fatally. The author of FIGHT CLUB of legions of fans have been talking with great anticipation for months in advance and many orders have already been placed.

So why the renewed interest in this old boogeyman of our collective imagination? As almost everyone knows, the term “snuff” is used to describe a work of cinema or video in which a person is actually killed for purposes of entertainment. Much less known is to what extent these films really exist, or ever have.

Another World Of Warcraft Tips

Categories: Game, Tips n Trick | May 25th, 2008 | by ShRi | no comments

First, make friends with the “L” key on your keyboard. Pressing this key will open your Quest Journal, where you will find all of the necessary information for solving the quest you are on. Checking back here often will avoid your having to ask simple questions on the chat channel (asking incessant questions like these can mark you for blacklisting when you go to look for a party to join!). In short, there’s a reason the Quest Journal is so detailed – use it!

A second way to avoid clogging up the airwaves with unnecessary questions is to consult a city guard for directions to where you need to go. That’s what they are there for. When you ask a guard for directions, you’ll not only be pointed the right way, but you’ll find a flag in your mini-map. Good deal, huh?

Remember, too, that every trade in WoW has a counterpart. With the exception of Tailoring and Enchanting, every trade in WoW has a gathering skill and a crafting skill. Essentially, what that means is in order to use your crafting skill (such as in Blacksmithing), you’ll also need to have the Mining skill in order to collect the materials you’ll need. Make sure you select both the crafting and mining skills necessary for your trade. If you don’t, you’ll end up buying raw materials at auction (a pricey endeavor!) or trying to trade the raw materials for the finished goods you don’t have the skills to craft.

Much like the “L” key, the Num Lock key is your friend, someone you ought to get to know and use often. The Num Lock key is your auto run, a feature that will allow you to check your quest log, rifle through you inventory or kibbutz with your friends while still playing the game.

Just like Bob Barker always says, “Help control the pet population.” In WoW, though, this stern warning takes on a different meaning. In WoW, this doesn’t mean to have your pet spayed or neutered. Instead, it refers to control your pet classes (Hunters and Warlocks). Don’t just leave your pet set in “Aggressive” mode. Doing so will let them attack willy-nilly, attracting more negative attention from monsters than your party may want.

With these few tips you will be well on your way to mastering the basics of the game (and you’ll avoid irritating other players by asking unnecessary questions!).

10 Conquer Everquest II Tactics

Categories: Game, Tips n Trick | May 25th, 2008 | by ShRi | no comments

1. When playing a scout character, regardless of race, always remember to keep your distance. Your melee skills are pretty non-existent, so you have to hit enemies from afar. Take advantage of Everquest II’s 3-D terrain. Look for an elevated structure near spawning points and snipe at monsters from there. The elevation will give your projectiles additional damage as well, as elevation is factored in with this MMORPG system.

2. When playing as a mage or as a priest, try your best to partner with a fighter or other advanced melee characters. They could serve as your “tanks,” that is, as characters who would hit a monster first and divert its attention while you kill the monster with your meager power. In due time, as is the case with other MMORPG systems, your mage or your priest would level up their intelligence and you’d possess fantastic magic skills. Every party needs a mage and a priest, and you could expect your powered-up character to be in high demand when he gains a sufficient amount of levels.

3. Prepare a plan even before you build your character. Have an end goal in mind. Everquest II is a very deep MMORPG. It offers close to 24 professions, though only 4 are available from the start. As you progress to level 10 in this MMORPG, new professions will be opened, depending on the class you have initially chosen. Thereafter, as you reach level 20 in Everquest II, new professions would once again become available depending on what you have chosen to pursue at level 10. It’s a tree-like structure of choices, and you have to know where you’re headed beforehand to get the profession you desire.

4. More powerful monsters can be found after every two square feet of game space in Everquest II, so it would serve you well if you’d always stock up on healing potions or spells, in the event that you inadvertently wander off to where your current level doesn’t allow you to venture. Carrying healing items or spells is a must for any MMORPG system, for that matter.

5. There are no Player Vs. Player (PvP) servers at the time of this writing, though Everquest II’s programmers are planning to add some. Intra-server competitions can be found in the prominence that guilds get through the MMORPG’s proprietary Writ System, where the guilds themselves can earn experience points (a first in MMORPG history!). If you want glory at the expense of other players, joining a guild and committing your characters to them is the way to go.
