Dragon"s Crown Sorceress

10048410285 b02e3ab9ae

While Dragons Crown has received a lot of praise, the character design seems to have received a lot of criticism too – particularly about the size of Sorceress’ eyes.


Criticism can be good as the feedback can be constructive and be used as reference to improve ones products.

Criticism can also be plain offensive – disguised as "criticism" but is in fact trolling which provides no value at all. In the case of Dragons Crown, the character designer was called names but the worse thing is that the designer reacted.


Reacting to trolling does a few things – it makes you look silly and gives satisfaction to the troll. So in other words, the moment you react is the moment you lose.

If you want to take revenge against a troll then the only thing you should do is to carry on doing what your troll despises the most – and the moment you decide to carry on is the moment you win as watching your success is what tears up your trolls from the inside.


I’m sure most of us here dislike being ignored but its worse for a troll because even after they’ve made a fuss and showed everybody that they have spent their precious time to aggravate you – they just get ignored and denied of their existence.

  • 3DS XL System-Red/Black




Nintendo 3DS XL


The Nintendo 3DS XL system combines next-generation portable gaming with eye-popping 3D visuals. Take 3D photos, connect to friends, other players, or wireless hotspots with the wireless StreetPass and SpotPass communication modes. With 90 percent larger screens than the 3DS, 3DS XL is the ultimate 3D entertainment system.

Play 3DS and DS games, take 3D photos,
and connect with friends


Nintendo 3DS XL includes two screens. The bottom touch screen makes use of a stylus that is stored in the unit itself. The top screen displays 3D visuals to the naked eye. Looking at the screen is like peering through a window into a world where characters and objects have true depth. The system also has a 3D Depth Slider that lets players select the level of 3D they enjoy the most. The 3D effect can be ratcheted up to the highest level, scaled back to a more moderate setting or even turned off completely, depending on the preference of the user.


3D Screen

The Nintendo 3DS XL system opens up a whole new world of eye-popping gameplay possibilities. The stereoscopic 3D display of the upper screen gives objects within the game world a feeling of space and depth that extends far into the back of the screen. It becomes easier to see the position of characters and obstacles in the world, making many game experiences even more intuitive for all types of players.


B008GEH8LQ img2

3D Depth Slider

A built-in 3D Depth Slider allows you to immediately adjust the intensity of the 3D settings on the Nintendo 3DS XL system to your liking. The 3D effect can also be turned down completely – all Nintendo 3DS games and applications can be played in 2D, and look better than any Nintendo handheld before it.


Motion Sensor and Gyro Sensor

Portable play control reaches a new level with these amazing features, allowing for new and unique gameplay mechanics. A built-in motion sensor and gyro sensor can react to the motion and tilt of the system, so whether players are twisting their systems side to side or moving them up and down, their motion-compatible Nintendo 3DS games respond instantly.

3D Camera

The Nintendo 3DS XL system uses its two outer cameras to see the world in 3D, much like the human eye. This allows for the creation of 3D photos, 3D video, and even 3D stop-motion animations, that make for an eye-popping addition to your next photo op.


StreetPass

Social and wired like no Nintendo system before it, Nintendo 3DS XL brings fellow players together in exciting new ways with StreetPass communication. Set your Nintendo 3DS XL to Sleep Mode and carry it with you wherever you go to exchange game data like Mii characters, high scores, and custom characters with other users you pass on the street. You control what data you exchange, and you can exchange data for multiple games at once, making virtual connections with real-world people you encounter in your daily life.


SpotPass

Your Nintendo 3DS XL system can automatically connect to a wireless Internet access point. Once connected, special items will download automatically to your system via the SpotPass feature, even while in sleep mode. Some of these surprise items include exclusive content and promotions from Nintendo Zone, unique 3D videos from the Nintendo Video service, and add-on game content from your favorite Nintendo 3DS games.

Where’s the money?


Federal authorities Thursday scrambled to find millions of dollars in profits a smuggling ring that sold cheap cigarettes to bodegas across New York may have used to fund terrorism in the Middle East.


Three of those charged in the sophisticated conspiracy were linked to known terrorists, including Hamas, the group that controls the Gaza Strip and has vowed to wipe Israel off the map, officials said.

In total 16 people, all Palestinian nationals, were charged in the operation.


……………………….

.


“We’ve only recovered a small fraction of the money,” said state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman in announcing enterprise corruption charges against 16 defendants. “We’re very seriously concerned about where that money went.”


Over the last 17 months, authorities say the ring bought million worth of cigarettes in Virginia, trucked it to New York and sold packs tax-free to small stores across Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens and Staten Island.


By selling the packs cheap, they cheated the state out of million in taxes and dramatically increased their take, authorities said.

“While it hasn’t been established yet where the illicit proceeds ended up, we’re concerned because similar schemes have been used in the past to help fund terrorist organizations like Hamas and Hezbollah,” Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said.

………………………..

.


All 16 of those charged are Palestinian and all but two were living illegally in the U.S. One managed to flee to Jordan before the arrests late Wednesday.


Kelly said the group included several “individuals on our radar with links to known terrorists,” starting with Mohannad Seif, 39, a cigarette reseller from Brooklyn.


Kelly said Seif lived in the same three-story walkup with the personal secretary of Hamas’ main fund-raiser in the U.S., Mousa Abu Marzouk, who was deported from the U.S. in 1997. Marzouk continues to raise money for Hamas in Egypt.

The NYPD also linked Muaffaq Askar, 46, a reseller in Brooklyn, to the Arab gunman who shot up a van full of yeshiva students on the Brooklyn Bridge in 1994. The gunman, Rashid Baz, killed 16-year-old passenger Ari Halberstam.


At the time, Baz claimed it was a case of road rage, but the incident has since been recategorized as a terrorist hit. On Thursday, Kelly said the Halberstam murder was “still open.”


He revealed Askar was a “confidant” of Baz who considered Askar his “Palestinian uncle.”

Before he got into the cigarette business, Odeh sold baby formula. In the early 1990s, the sheik invested ,000 in Odeh’s business, Kelly said.

That transaction was arranged by Rahman’s then-spokesman, Ahmed Sattar, whom Kelly identified as a close friend of Askar.


Sattar was convicted in 2005 of smuggling out of prison what prosecutors described as “words of hate” from Rahman to the world, including a fatwa to “kill (Jews) wherever they are.”


Before his arrest, Sattar — who likely believed he was under surveillance — made calls overseas on Odeh’s cell phone.

If the ring is funding terrorism, it picked a highly lucrative business to do so, authorities said. As one defendant caught on tape stated, “This business is better than selling drugs.”


The accused ringleaders, brothers Basel and Samir Ramadan of Ocean City, Md., bought cigarettes from a Virginia wholesaler, Cooper Booth Wholesale Inc., which shipped them to a public storage facility in Delaware, prosecutors said.

Cooper Booth President Barry Margolis did not return calls seeking comment.


A portion of the profit was based on the difference in cigarette taxes in Virginia, where they are 30 cents per pack, and New York, where they are .85 per pack.


The Ramadans purchased their cigarettes for per carton and sold to their distributors for a carton. They, in turn, sold to bodegas for a carton — a huge discount from the usual 0 cost per carton, which includes taxes.

The gang allegedly bought cigarettes from Cooper Booth Wholesale Inc., a wholesaler in Virginia, and then would drive them to New York for illegal sales, say authorities.


………………………

.


The brothers paid the Virginia tax with the promise that they’d sell only in Virginia, but instead shipped their wares to New York. They affixed fake tax stamps to the packs but sold them to distributors tax-free — greatly reducing the normal New York price of per pack.


Several times a week, Adel Abuzahrieh, 42, of Brooklyn, drove a white box truck covered in graffiti from New York to meet the brothers in Delaware, authorities said.


He’d drop off black garbage bags filled with cash and leave with thousands of cartons of cigarettes — up to 20,000 a week, prosecutors say. The brothers would show up at small local banks with beer coolers filled with cash to deposit.

The alleged accomplices have been under surveillance by the state Organized Crime Task Force and NYPD for months.


……………………….

.


Abuzahrieh always took the same return route and met distributors in parking lots behind malls and Home Depots. Distributors loaded boxes of cartons into car trunks, then began the process of selling them directly to bodegas or to resellers, who’d do the same.


The untaxed packs were offered to smokers at a discount at Arab markets and grocery stores in Brooklyn, Staten Island, Queens and the Bronx.


All the defendants pleaded not guilty in Brooklyn Supreme on Thursday and were held on bails ranging from ,000 to 0,000.


Lamis Dee, a lawyer for Odeh and two other defendants, brought up recent accusations about the NYPD spying on Muslims and claimed Kelly was blowing a “simple untaxed cigarette case” into something it’s not.

WASHINGTON – The threat from homemade bombs – the top killer of U.S. troops in Afghanistan and Iraq – will persist for decades and likely become a more prevalent menace domestically, according to the former top Pentagon officer charged with fighting improvised explosive devices.


Michael Barbero, an Army lieutenant general who retired Friday, talked about IEDs and the threat they pose to U.S. citizens and their toll in Afghanistan, Syria and elsewhere in a recent interview.


"This is here to stay," said Barbero, who led the Joint IED Defeat Organization (JIEDDO). "It’s too cheap, too readily available, a whole generation of bombmakers. Boston is not an anomaly."


The homemade bombs detonated at the Boston Marathon killed three people and wounded more than 260 others, many of whom had limbs severed by the shrapnel of bombs cobbled together with pressure cookers and nails.


The United States ranks in the top five among countries reporting IED attacks, Barbero said. Most of the domestic attacks involve pipe bombs on timers, he said. The attempted attack on New York’s Times Square in 2010 involved a vehicleNissan Pathfinder filled with propane, gasoline and fertilizer. Passers-by alerted police, and the bomb failed to explode. Faisal Shahzad is serving a life sentence for the attempted attack.


"We were lucky," Barbero said. "A couple hundred pounds in the middle of Times Square? Very bad, very bad. But he screwed up the fusing, and we had good police work."


The best way to fight the IED threat is to trace bombmaking networks to IEDs through forensic evidence such as fingerprints and DNA, Barbero said. He worries that lessons learned in Iraq and Afghanistan will be lost if JIEDDO is allowed to wither.


"I’m concerned that’s not sufficiently funded. Basic forensics, labs – that’s a game-changer at the tactical level," he said.


JIEDDO analysts helped examine the Boston bombs, Barbero said. The organization also probes social networks – the command-and-control vehicle for bombmaking networks.


Peter Singer, director of the Center for 21st Century Security and Intelligence at the Brookings Institution, said Barbero’s concern about the long-term threat of IEDs is on target. "Unfortunately, the past data and likely future trends show that IEDs are here to stay, both on battlefields abroad and in terror cases at home," he said.


Capabilities that JIEDDO has will continue to be in demand. Officials will have to decide if JIEDDO remains in place or its expertise is parceled out to other parts of government, Singer said.


Elsewhere, IEDs continue to kill and maim:


— â?¢ Afghanistan. A homemade bomb killed five U.S. soldiers May 4 in a Stryker combat vehicle. The bomb was big, "a couple hundred pounds," and well placed, Barbero said. "Smart enemy," he said. "They know capabilities we have."


— â?¢ Syria. Al-Qaeda in Iraq has shared IED tactics with fighters in Syria, Barbero said. Other terrorist groups are spreading bomb-making materials and techniques with militants in North Africa. "As I look at every global hot spot, it is the weapon of choice," Barbero said. "In Syria we should not be surprised."


— â?¢ Pakistan. Efforts to stem the flow of fertilizer – the main ingredient in homemade explosives used in Afghanistan – have started to pay off, Barbero said. Last April, 86% of IEDs in Afghanistan used homemade explosives, almost all of which could be traced to plants in Pakistan. That has dropped to 80% this year, according to JIEDDO. He credited better relations with the Pakistani military.

Game Reviews: Assassin"s Creed 2 in Game


Assassin’s Creed is undeniably one of the best games today. The concept, game play, and graphics made the first installment of this game stand out. However, there are a few weak points in Assassin’s Creed, and this is why the developers of the game released Assassin’s Creed 2. This game is definitely something that will glue you on your seats for weeks.


The story of Assassin’s Creed 2 takes place in 2012. Desmond Miles plays the role of the main character and with Lucy Stillman, they escaped from Abstergo Industries. Along the way, Desmond encounters Animus, a machine with the ability to recall lost memories. There Desmond finds that he is training to be one of the best assassins in the world.


In order to finish the game, you need to execute both attack and stealth abilities. The stealth has been explained in all aspects on the game, and it will be impossible for you to finish Assassin’s Creed 2 without the stealth.


The first installment is a great game, but all the weaknesses were fixed in this installment, making Assassin’s Creed 2 an almost perfect game. The stages of the game may be a bit tougher for most players, but this game offers a feature that will allow you to practice all the skills that you need in order to finish the game. Some of the skills that you need are picking pockets, hiding, assassinate, and fighting.


The only problem about this game is it can only be played with Xbox 360. I would give this game, 4.8 out of 5 stars for the graphics and audio and 5 out of 5 for the game play because it fixes all the loopholes in the first installment. Overall, I would give this game, 4.9 out of 5 stars. This is a game that I would definitely suggest to all hardcore gamers and Assassin’s Creed fans.

Sabai Technology VPN Routers Provide Expats With A Real Connection During Holidays

In recent years, personal VPN providers have become increasingly popular. Sabai Technology allow users to have a personal VPN to safely access American internet while living or traveling abroad.


Sabai Technology, the leading provider of consumer VPN Routers, recently announced a holiday promotion to help consumers connect with their loved ones living abroad. The company will be discounting some of their most popular VPN Router products in the week leading up to Christmas. “The holidays are such an important time to connect with loved ones. We want to be a meaningful part of making that happen. Our product makes connecting online while living abroad easier by unlocking restricted content and providing an American internet experience, even from abroad,” says William Haynes, Sabai Technology Founder and CEO.


Many users are familiar with VPN in a business setting. Companies provide VPN, or Virtual Private Networks, so that employees can access files, printers, and other office resources remotely and securely. In recent years, personal VPN providers have become increasingly popular. These providers allow users to have a personal VPN to safely access American internet while living or traveling abroad.


VPN Routers allow individuals to cloak their physical location—the user’s actual IP address is replaced by a VPN providers—allowing them to bypass censored content. So, you may live in Tehran but appear virtually in Texas, enabling you to access content not normally available in that country. You to watch a YouTube video or stream that favorite holiday movie via Netflix, Hulu, etc. on a Smart TV or Xbox.


Sabai has a wide range of VPN Routers for any price point. If you crave power, want to stream HD, or have a large home you are in luck. The Asus RT-N66U featuring Sabai OS is currently available at a discounted price. The N66U or “Dark Knight” is one of the most powerful consumer grade VPN Routers on the market. “The N66U Router is our most popular VPN Router because of its incredible specs. This is a router has great range and throughput for power users” states Haynes.


Medium to small sized networks will delight in knowing that the Netgear WNR3500L WiFi VPN Router will be included in the company’s holiday sales campaign as well. This router features fast downloads and gaming, ultra-fast wired connections and excellent wireless speed for OpenVPN or PPTP throughput. Despite any network need, Sabai Technology has a product to suit most all consumer price-points.


To show their commitment to providing impeccable customer service, Sabai Technology is also featuring their white-glove support package, Sabai Freedom, in the sale to ensure customers not only get a great product but the continued support needed throughout the year. Customers enjoy Sabai Freedom for the peace of mind that the Sabai level of service provides.


More and more users are discovering that a VPN service in your home can provide excellent security and privacy for much of your online activity. Sabai Technology VPN Routers are proven to be compatible with over a dozen of the worlds leading VPN providers and their Sabai Freedom Package – which provides live, one-on-one American technical support – sets them apart from other VPN Router providers.


In addition to low sales prices, the company will offer FedEx 2Day shipping for only .99 on all orders placed during the sales period beginning December 17th. For more information on Sabai Technology VPN Routers, visit SabaiTechnology.com or blog.SabaiTechnology.com.
