Video games - the next generation console battle.

I've been blessed enough to have ready access to most if not all the "good" consoles, and by good consoles I'm referring to the nintendo wii, microsoft xbox 360 and sony playstation 3 . Am I bragging? Yes! You're probably wondering why you should continue reading this article but wait a while and hear me out, I have valuable information you will want to keep handy when heading out to best buy or wherever you go to purchase your video games.

Nintendo Wii

nintendo wii

Best Buy Price: 249.99
(includes wii controller  & nunchuck)

The good: Of the next generation (since 2005) consoles it is the most affordable and utilizes a control system that even your grand mother will love.

You can play your old (or new) gamecube games on the wii.

Super Mario Galaxy!

Microsoft Xbox 360

Photobucket

Best Buy Price:279.99 (core)
(includes 1 wireless controller)
 
The good: It's cheaper than the sony playstation 3
It has more games than the ps3
Xbox = Halo! (Not avaiable on other consoles)

The bad: 360's tend to have noisy processors

You have to pay for xbox live compatability (connecting to the internet)

The "red ring of death" - Basically, AIDS for your 360.

The ugly: It must suck to have your system mysteriously crash after a year of usage due to the red ring of death - VERY UGLY.

Sony Playstation 3

Photobucket

Best buy Price: 399.99

(includes 1 wireless controller)

The good: It's like having a PSP, only bigger - without the LCD screen. In other words, you can connect to the internet, watch movies, download music, videos, applications etc. (I don't think you can mod a ps3 yet though)

The controllers are very light. (almost too light)

The bad: Expensive

Has been known to suffer from overheating problems

There aren't as many games out for it when compared with the 360

The ugly: It's heavy and gaudy - Way too big especially when compared with the nintendo wii



After all is said and done, you may want to take the afforementioned things into consideration, it is YOUR MONEY that is being spent at the end of the day!

Tired of boring gaming sites?

So I must confess that I am not the biggest online gamer out there, however, when it comes to playing bingo I make exceptions. By now many of us have been through the boring, monotonous user interfaces characteristic of most gaming websites (booo..). Thankfully I've found an online
bingo
site that has a new refreshing look with tonnes of bingo games to choose from.  Partybingo.com boasts a clean user friendly interface with many games to choose from, namely, the  Mega O' clock, Super O' clock and Joy O' clock all of which promise handsome rewards for lucky winners.

Hundsun Global Services.

Offshore Software testing has probably not been on the tip of your tongue lately, but that’s only because people are not aware of the huge financial benefits associated with such a venture. For the few who are familiar with offshore software testing, many are unhappy with it usually because they haven't found the right Software Testing Services company – Hundsun. With their leading outsourcing services, it's no wonder why they're regarded as one of the leading companies for Corporate Outsourcing throughout Asia. If your company is ready to outsource some of their testing and services, than now is the time to call Hundsun for their help, because if you're going to outsource, you should certainly do it with the best.

How to cure shin splints?




So your shins hurt?


Wanna get rid of the pain?

Need a cure?

I don't have one.. But I sure can help you can help you reduce the pain :-)


If you suffer from shin splints also known as medial tibial stress syndrome (formerly periostitis)you might want to consider following some of these tips courtesy of yours truly (I am not a doctor!!!)

Stay off running or walking on hard surfaces!

Try not to walk at all! If you have a scooter or bike - USE IT!

Do cross training to stay in shape, riding a stationary bike or working out in a swimming pool.

Ice those shins regularly! At least three times a day if you really want to see results!

Taking a couple anti inflammatory tablets may aid in subsiding the swelling or tenderness around the soft tissue. (Remember I am not a doctor)

Once the pain has gone away do some strengthening exercises and stretches for your shins and calves and arch (your foot bottom).
  • I recommend pressing your big toe against the wall while standing while anchoring at your heel. (helps your arch)
  • Also go on your "tippy toes" 10 times in 3 sets (that helps the calves)
  • Try to keep your shin/calves warm - this increases the blood flow to the area supercharging the muscles surrounding them with well needed oxygen (O2) which is integral for tissue repair.

Remember to consult a doctor or physiotherapist before taking matters into your owns hands!
