Happy Thanksgiving! In honor of a holiday that’s mostly about eating, here’s my list of the top 10 most gluttonous video game characters. For most of these picks, eating is an integral part of the game. There are a ton of games where characters collect different kinds of food for points, but for these characters, eating is pretty much essential! Gather your eating utensils and dig in to this goofy list of the gluttons of gaming! The music at the beginning and at the intro to #1 was made by me. The music played during the #1 spot is “Pacman (original)” by Power Pill AKA Aphex Twin. Images were found at random. Thanks to my parents, Andrew for helping me find some of these games, Josh for helping me look for a pilgrim costume (that I clearly wasn’t able to get), my awesome subscribers for their continued support, and of course YOU for watching! Thanks!

Sean Saunders asked:


Professionally playing video games for money is undoubtedly way better than most of the other jobs that are out there. On the other hand though, playing video games for cash, like any other type of employment, does come with a few drawbacks. As you can probably guess, the drawbacks of game testing are not too bad to deal with, but they do in fact exist and each & every tester must accept and deal with them.

Earnings Of A Video Game Tester

The earnings of a paid beta game tester are not set in stone, so you can not expect to be told exactly what you’ll earn once you finally get started. Wages vary from company to company, so it’s somewhat difficult to give an exact figure on how much a video game beta tester can or will be paid. In light of that fact, don’t wholeheartedly trust ads that say game testers are paid $100+ per hour. Even though it’s not technically a lie, it’s not really the truth either — Game testers can earn a very good living, just not THAT good of a living.

With $120/hour wages, a professional game tester would make $600 per day just working a minuscule 5 hours. To be honest, you’d have a tough time finding professional game testers that get paid even half that amount for a days work.

Ball-Park Figures: Yearly earnings of a video game tester can range from a low $18,000 to an unbelieveable $80,000 or more. Monthly earnings can range from $1000 to a high $8500. Weekly wages can be anywhere from $350 to a sizeable $2000.

The amount of money you will make as a beta game tester relates directly with the video game company you are employed with, not to mention the overall amount of work you can “successfully” take on.

What You Will Be Paid To Do as a Video Game Tester

Contrary to what you may think, you won’t simply be having fun and playing video games throughout the entire day. In truth, playing video games and testing video games are two COMPLETELY different things. Although many professional testers do have fun testing video games, the fun isn’t quite as “awesome” as they first thought it would be. Why is this? Because professional game testing, like any other type of job, is NOT all fun and games — there is actual work involved.

Instead of simply being paid to judge the overall amount of enjoyment of a video game, testers are paid to locate what most programmers can’t, which is bugs and glitches. Highly-paid gaming programmers can easily locate & identify the larger bugs & glitches; but when it comes time to locate the smaller, less noticeable ones, developers solely rely on professional game testers to do the job quickly and effectively. Having said all that, as a professional beta game tester it’s YOUR JOB to play the assigned video game as many times as it takes so that you can find and properly document all possible in-game bugs & glitches!

video game review
lication can be difficult to put in place so that you can start operating them. The reason for that is they require a lot of bandwidth for them to operate effectively. There are many environmental obstacles (industrial and germane) that the radios that transmit the data within the wireless network come face to face with. There are two factors to take in to consideration when you want to combine the two environmental obstacles and these are limitations and capabilities. In an industrial environment they are a few components that are needed to create a network and these are video technology, radio technology and wireless video technology.

Under water video camera has different applications. There are different thing that one can do with the camera firstly you can take pictures of the fish at the bottom of the ocean and other sea life that you can find down there and you can place the camera at the bottom of the pool as well and then watch them later. It will be like the Olympic camera which shows the under side of the swimmers who will be competing. You can also place the camera in an aquarium and see the fish from another perspective the perspective of a marine biologist. When you go fishing use the camera to view the quantity of fish that is underneath the water. The video camera can be connected to portable monitor, LC, TVs and camcorder.

There are many video applications that people use on a daily basis but sometimes were not even aware that it is a video application. One of those is video editing. This type of application deals with as the name says the editing of videos. You can edit a video on the computer. You will be altering the sequence of the video. JPEG is the simplest from in which a video is stored in the directory. You can view the directory n and the screen shows one big image. The application enables you to edit audio clips in the video but I would call it more like sync the audio clips with the videos.

You can add transitions and special effects by decreasing the quality of the image. You can create web video, video pod cast, Mobile phone video and DVD by encoding the video. There are few companies that started this type of application and these are Sony Vegas, adobe premiere and pinnacle systems just to mention a few. These companies lead the way when it comes to the way videos are edited. These companies have programs of the applications that are named after the name of the company itself. These programs sometimes use custom hardware for video editing.

A DVDx is a video encoding application. The application enables you to convert a DVD video into windows media video, AV1 and VCD2.0. There are many video applications that one has at his or her disposal. Video editing is only a tip of the ice berg when it comes to video applications. Before you go out to the video application it is best to first look at the various software that is being offered online for video applications. When you Google the key words you will get links straight to some of the sites that deal with such applications there are different things that you have to look at when your comparing the video application software that is available online firstly it is the developer or the software and most of the time it is either apple, avid or adobe. When the software was released is a crucial bit of information as you know that technology is ever going forward. Software is constantly being improved so you have to look for the software with the latest date of release, some of the makers of the software will place two dates of the software and those two dates simply mean the first time it was released and the release date of the latest version of the software. You have to know the product that you want to buy. The best way to get to know about the product is to research on it and read the reviews and articles that have been written about the product. The price of the software is what most of us would check first before everything else. There are a lot of software makers of video applications so I would think it is best for you to stick to the maker that you usually use especially if you have never had any problems with thee products of that manufacturer.

With computers it is always best to know your computer its requirements .you have to check if your computer and the application will be compatible or not and you can get all this information from reviews.

Applications that you can find in the software are for social networking sites so that you can use them for streamlining your video into the sites. The different software that you will find is made for three groups of people and these are consumers, companies and professionals and these three groups are spilt into two economic groups the expensive and cheap. The interface between the user and the software is good as the software is easy to use. The number of video application software that is out there is amazing and sometimes it can be mind boggling what people do with all of these applications but the truth of the matter is that some of the applications that are available are used by professionals for example when it comes to video editing . These kind of applications are left to the guys who work in Hollywood. The applications cut across many section of industry from television to internet and not forgetting communications in industrial areas.

I would personally advise you to seek assistance when you are looking to select software for video applications the reason being is that in some of the sites that have reviews of the software it is usually guys that are used to the technical jargon and thus it makes it hard for you to understand what exactly the function of the software is. Online video applications, many businesses in many sectors of the economy use videos extensively online. The online video application can be grouped into three group business applications, consumer applications and industry sectors. Businesses use videos for many purposes online for example e-commerce, many businesses have videos on their websites so as to illustrate to clients what exactly it is that they offer and how it works. The videos online re also used by the companies to provide a forum for their clients to post their reviews on the products that they have used. There are video press releases that one can expect from the website as the name says they are for communicating with the press or customers who visit the site.

If you come to look at it , video applications are a lot of fun. They add something new to the things that we do on a daily basis. They add that efficiency and ease that we crave for when we are doing things. No one wants to do something that is difficult as that takes away the fun of doing so. Many people are into face book and having the video application software to stream your videos on to the site makes it even more fun and it is a pleasure to do because you can do it with great ease. There are other video application software that we use and were not even aware that it is an application system. For example people who are on my space some of the systems that they use the browse the site are video applications that make it possible for one to locate videos with ease.

There are certain video applications that are made for certain industries in mind for example the imovie application is made for editing films and that was definitely one application that was made with Hollywood directors in mind. The application can now be used by the ordinary person and that is due to the creators of the software trying to reach a wider audience and have they product being more profitable. Video applications have revolutionized the way that advertising is done online and people have moved from the traditional way of advertising online. The reason why video applications have done so is

Because they are a lot of sites that have videos as they main medium of spreading the message. Sites like my space and other social networking sites have pushed the limits of advertising. It seems that videos appeal more to consumers and many businesses are getting in on the act. The increase in the viewer ship of online videos has lead to video applications needing to be improved. The reason why there is a need for them to improve is because companies are always trying to out do each other and the one that comes up with video application that is more appealing will get more people watching the video and hopefully for them that will lead to more sales.

Social networking sites have lead to video application being more in demand a people on these social networking sites get to share a lot like videos , music and pictures and they need to do that in ways that are always changing. Firstly it was only sharing of pictures, music and videos but of late they are some social networking sites that allow one to give virtual gifts and to do so you need to have some video application.

Video applications do not stop at videos that have to do with the internet but are there to in video games like play station portable. You can also use the video application to down load videos on to your ipod using peer to peer application.

Some of the video applications that one can find in the market deliver live broadcasts. They deliver on demand television quality to nay network that is connected to a device such as a personal computer laptop or notebook. The video applications do so with the permission or a special arrangement with certain companies that deals with the broadcasting of videos. The advantages of the characteristics of such a video application is that you save money as you do not have to travel and you do not have to train any of your staff. There is not much that the end user has to learn.

Internet service providers that also host websites for people have not had a slump in business because there ahs been growth that is being pushed by consumer broadband plus video applications and this in turn is pushing the demand for hosting of sites with video capabilities. Video applications are every where and can be used for almost anything that has something to do with video. There are many companies and individuals that are grateful for the services that are performed by these video applications as they make life easier and for businesses will they assist them in making profits

You are going to buy video application software they are a few thing s that you have to make sure that you know. You have to know the type of computer that you use and whether the software that you buy will be compatible with the hardware. Secondly you have to do research on the software that you are buying, when it was made and it purpose. You have to make sure that you go out and buy the right type of software, by that I mean that you have to buy the software that has applications that you need. It is of no use if you are going to buy software that is for editing movies when you want software to download your videos and pictures on to the internet.

The importance of video applications can not be overemphasized as they have changed the way that people operate.

Madison Lockwood asked:


It seems almost like a Christmas ritual: there’s a Next Big Thing in the video game world almost every holiday season. Last year featured a particularly interesting competition between the new gaming hardware put on the market by Nintendo and their prime competitor, Sony with its PlayStation series.

The Sony PS3 is the high-end, bells-and-whistles choice between the two. It includes high-definition graphics, a hard disk, and a Blu-ray Disc drive that delivers great image quality. The top tier 60GB hard drive version also includes a hefty $600 retail price. Nintendo’s Wii (pronounced “we”) costs $250 and builds in Wi-Fi (but not ethernet). Like the PS3, it has an SD Card slot and can display photos, but its standard-def DVD drive can’t yet play movies (Nintendo and Sonic Solutions are working on that).

What Nintendo does have that keeps it in the game is a unique gaming remote device (the Wiimote) and an enormous library of games. The PS3 enters the market with significantly more horsepower and better graphics, but their game options are, at this point, fairly limited. Wii came on the market with 62 games available; the PS3 opened with an inventory of 20 games.

PC World’s review provides a clean portrayal of the difference between the two systems. The graphics on the PS3 are state of the art 1080p high-definition and present a new level of quality for gamers. The Wii’s graphic capability is limited to standard definition, which is equivalent to the PS2, Sony’s last (and highly successful) video game console. However the Wii has a remote gaming control that utilizes motion-sensing technology, so that the gamers’ motions with the remote are mimicked in the game. If you’re playing football, a pass requires a passing motion with the remote. A sword fight will require a little air-fencing as part of the game participation.

The intuitive nature of the Wii remote is its strength, along with the relatively inexpensive cost compared to the PS3. Wii also has an additional controller called the Nunchuk which is a joystick-type device that works in conjunction with the motion-sensing remote.

The graphics and multiple uses (the PS3 includes a Blu-ray HD DVD player) are what make the Sony product attractive. When they both came on the market, the fact that each relied on separate characteristics to define their value has made for an interesting market contest.

The PS3 is the high-horsepower (and high priced) option on the market. It can handle HD DVDs, play back your digital photographs, and connect to the internet with a built in browser. Its graphics are unparalleled, and it comes with a decent game inventory that will at least get you started. It too has a new controller, one that utilizes a tilt feature that is a token effort at motion sensitivity.

With the Wii, Nintendo decided to forego the digital video wars and focus on a simple box with unique controls that is designed for fun. The Wii can play GameCube games (Nintendo’s last offering) and has been introduced with a new addition to the chart-busting Zelda game series. While the Wii hasn’t done much to upgrade the visual quality of the gaming experience, it has added substantial new dimension to the gaming process itself. It too can be utilized for web access.

Nintendo’s decision to target so-called “casual gamers” seems to have paid off in the short run. It’s too early to pick the long term winner; both companies limited their Christmas product issue in order to ensure sellouts and high product demand. The PS3 definitely has a price-break issue that will offset some gamers’ lust for the best graphics out there. On the other hand, it’s a system with a great future. Wii’s future is now, for the most part, and the product issues an intriguing invitation for a substantially new gaming experience, even if it occurs using last year’s graphics.

video game review
Every year major blockbusters open into theatres that seem to instantly capture the limelight. And if it is an action oriented film, than you can almost guarantee a video game not too far behind. And no matter how well the film is reviewed and accepted by critics and the audience, the video game that follows it usually receives overwhelmingly negative reviews.

Every now and then there is a game based on a film that is actually good and manages to capture the spirit of the film and bring gamers back again and again, but most of the time the game falls flat. This usually leads to gamers asking why can’t they make a good movie game? The answer is a little more complicated than one may think.

One thing that creates a hindrance to the ability of creating a good movie game is that there is only so much time to produce the game. After the script of the movie is produced, that does not mean the game can rush immediately into production. The cast must be announced, the visual design team must work with the game developers in order for the audience to recognize where the game came from. However, this does not always mean that the game will be terrible.

For instance, the video game based off of the 2004 blockbuster Spider-Man 2 went on to receive great reviews from critics and fans. However, other games based off films which have plenty of time to be perfected fall flat.

A good case in point would be the Superman Returns game, which was not considered terrible, but was merely repetitive and had uninspired game play. Another example of a movie game that fell flat is Minority Report: Everybody Runs, where the characters did not even resemble their film counterparts, and the game suffers further from dull game play.

It has come to pass that the standard used for movie games is not very high at all. In fact, the games are almost entirely ignored, but reviewed simply for tradition’s sake (and possibly in the hope that they will be good).

Bad games based on movies are just like bad movies themselves. They are over marketed as good games in the hopes of receiving some form of audience. But, as previously stated, sometimes a good one does emerge, and that makes them occasionally worth the wait.

video game review
Cheaters never win and winners never cheat. When it comes to video game cheats, however, cheating really means shortcuts, tips, tricks, and extras.

Some of you may have fond memories of Pong, Battlezone, and Asteroids. I know I’ve spent my entire week’s allowance every Saturday and the local arcade. In all honesty, I still play these games today on my pc. They offer the simplistic arcade action that some of us crave.

Today’s video games have gotten so complicated that entire books for a single game title have been written on how to finish them. The graphics, strategies, and multiplayer online aspects have taken video gaming to a whole new level. To be honest, it’s rare that I can even finish a game anymore, let alone win all the bonus cars or cool weapons.

After playing for a few hours I’ll often get stuck. Either I can’t finish a level or can’t find the special weapons to defeat the boss. If it weren’t for cheat codes, I’d probably just give up. Never enjoying the full potential game play, never getting my money’s worth. Even on the easiest settings, it’s almost impossible to finish a game anymore without cheating.

So before I buy any game, I’ll go online and check out the latest reviews, graphics, and best price. But I’m also looking to see if they have a walk through, cheats, and extras. You’ll usually find these written up by the professional paid reviewers, but don’t forget to check out the player reviews and forum. Sometimes the actual gamers will find even more cheats and extras that the professional reviewers missed.

No matter how good the preview is I want to see what the end users are actually saying. Also, no matter how bad the professional review is, I want to see what the actual gamers are saying. I can tell you that I’ve thoroughly enjoyed games that scored very low with the professional reviewers. After reviewing the gamer’s scores, I found they often enjoyed games much more than the professional reviews would lead you to believe.

Also check out your local video game store, ask the sales people what they think of the games. I found most of them are big time game players too and will give you an honest answer. We gamers need to look out for each other, don’t we?

video game review
Any hard core gamers knows that many of the best games - or at least the most unique games, come right out of Japan. Most of these games never see the light of day in the United States or Europe and gamers are left wanting and drooling for games they’ll never have the chance to play. At least that was the case with the Gamecube and now also with the Nintendo Wii. Then along came a little disc called the Freeloader, that allowed any Gamecube to play any Japanese game with ease, with no mod chip required and no need to open your console.

Why do I mention Gamecube and Wii playing import games? Simply because the Nintendo Wii is also compatible with every single Gamecube Game, including the FreeLoader disc. Because the Nintendo Wii can boot Gamecube Discs / games, you can also load the Freeloader and finally take advantage of all of the great Import games on the market. The Nintendo Wii Freeloader is a disc, that allows any Wii owner to play import Gamecube games without a mod chip. As you may have guessed, the Freeloader was not actually manufactured for the Nintendo Wii, but was instead a product that has been out for several years (with various updates) for the Nintendo Gamecube. Since the Wii can play Gamecube games and is backwards compatible, it will also load the FreeLoader on any Wii console allowing you to play any region Gamecube game with ease.

Now, if this were just any kind of disc, I wouldn’t write a review on it. And often times, when I talk about import games, people ask me why I would want to play games that are all in Japanese and can’t be played anyway. Or ask me what the big deal is with these games from Japan. The fact of the matter is, over 60% of Japanese import games can be played with no problem. I’m a big fan or racing games and some of the BEST racing games for Gamecube have only been released in Japan. The same would go for first person shooters. But more than that, some of the games are just so very unique, so well designed, that you must try them. You’ll immediately become an import game fan once you do.

Regardless of the genre of games you like. By being able to play import games, you’re actually expanding your software library, or at least the available selection by thousands of additional games. Many of these games you won’t hear about at your local Blockbuster, or in magazine. But online review sites like IGN.com or GameSpot.com have entire sections devoted to import games and import gaming, because there are a tremendous amount of great games available.

This brings us back to the Freeloader. The Freeloader was developed by Datel as a means to cut out the need for installing a mod chip in your Gamecube console to have access, and the ability to play these games. Before the Freeloader, you would need to install a Gamecube Mod Chip like the Xeno Gamecube or the Viper Gamecube chip to play your import and personally backed up games. While the Freeloader won’t let you play backup games, it will effortlessly allow you to play Import games from any region on any Gamecube.

I want to also say that this is NOT an article to promote the Freeloader as the next best thing since sliced The Legend Of Zelda for the Gamecube or Nintendo Wii. If you’re not into Japanese games, or import games in general, and have no interest in them, then the Freeloader is not for you. It doesn’t offer any extras or advantages for any Nintendo Wii or Gamecube owner who is happy to just play the offering of games available in their own country. Its sole purpose is to allow gamers like myself, and tens of thousands of others, to enable the playing of Import games. While I am stressing just Japanese games in this article as they are my own personal favorite. European gamers can also play the latest games released only in the USA on their PAL Gamecube or Nintendo Wii systems as well. Gamecube import games are not just from Japan. If you’re a fan or Rally racing games, many of the best games in that genre are released in the UK and Europe.

Just how do you use the Gamecube Freeloader on the Nintendo Wii? First of all, think of it as a Nintendo Wii Freeloader. Insert the disc into your Nintendo Wii just as you would your Gamecube, and then select it from your Wii Dashboard. It’ll load up, and you’ll be greeted by the Freeloader main menu, where you’ll have several selections. While it isn’t loaded with features that’ll blow you away - that is exactly the reason it’s so easy to use. I suppose there aren’t really a slew of features you could pack in to software that is intended to do just one thing - play import video games. We can thank the simplicity and ease of use due to the few options it has.

The Freeloader is easy to use, both on the Gamecube and the Nintendo Wii console. You simply put the disc in the Gamecube or your Nintendo Wii, wait for it to load and then pick the map representing the region you want to play. You’ll then have to eject the disc from your Nintendo Wii, or open the Gamecube lid, and take out the Freeloader, put in the game you want to play and it will just load for you. It couldn’t get any easier really.

In closing, the Freeloader for the Gamecube or Nintendo Wii is meant to do one thing, and one thing only. It does it with ease and work perfectly each and every time. It’s not intended to do anything else. Comparing it to other software or add ons for either the Gamecube or the Nintendo Wii would be pointless. If you want to start getting the latest import games without having to wait until the hit the local market - if they ever do at all, then the Freeloader is the easiest and cheapest way to get you started.
