World of Warcraft - How to Fish your Way to Riches (3 of 3)

Fishing for cooking is going to be your bread and butter. Most people in World of Warcraft are simply too lazy to go out and fish or cook for themselves. They would rather buy it. This is where you as the entrepreneur come in. Fish for them, cook for them, and make them pay.

The real money in fishing is cooking the fish that you catch and selling the product on the auction house. Most fish that you catch can be cooked but not all of them carry any value at the auction house. The ones that you want to sell are those that when cooked provide some kind of "buff."

Lower End "Buff" Fish

Bloodfin Catfish - Open water in Deadwind Pass and Zul'Aman

BIG Money Fish

Crescent-Tail Skullfish - Open water Deadwind Pass and Zul'Aman

Figluster's Mudfish - Negrand and Netherstorm

Furious Crawdad - Terokkar Forest elevated lakes, mixed highland schools only, you need a flying mount, maxed fishing skill, and lots of Aquadynamic Fish Attracters. You need modified 500 fishing skill to avoid "your fish got away."

Golden Darter - Terokkar Forest

Huge Spotted Feltail - Outland (Rare)

Icefin Bluefish - Nagrand, Netherstorm

Zangarian Sporefish - Zangarmarsh

Fishing is a skill that most in World of Warcraft over look. I have taken advantage of fishing since I started playing in beta 1 and have reaped the rewards. I dedicate about 8 to 10 hours per week to fishing and I usually rake in about 1000 gold for my efforts. Should you spend time fishing...YES!

World of Warcraft Gold Guide

What to Look for in a World of Warcraft Gold Guide

A lot of players find that gathering enough WoW gold for their needs can be difficult. Because of this, they often resort to the many World of Warcraft gold guides available today to help them.

However, because of the many gold guides being offered by "experts", people often get confused regarding which ones to trust. Here are a few tips to help you choose the right one:

1) Look for proof If a World of Warcraft gold guide is truly effective, there should be some sort of proof. Although testimonials can be a great help, they can also be biased.

You have to know that there are people who do fake testimonials in order to make it appear as if they have written one hell of a WoW gold guide. What you need is a video or at least a screen capture of someone who used that guide and has experienced great results.

2) Look for a plan many WoW gold guides claim to be able to help you gather more gold, but you have to realize that a good guide can only do so by giving you a solid plan of action. The best gold guides can actually tell you which monsters are best for gathering gold.

A great World of Warcraft gold guide will tell you where to find the monsters which you need to kill according to your level in order to gather a lot of gold. It should also offer you different tips regarding how to kill monsters in the fastest way possible in order to gather more gold.

A solid plan of action is essentially what people really want a WoW gold guide for, right? After all, people get guides in order to "guide" them in their actions.

3) Look for a crafting guide although killing mobs is the main way to gather gold in WoW, it is not the only one. The other way to gather items would be to trade with other players. A great way to increase the value of your gathered items would be to use them as components in crafting other items.

A great World of Warcraft gold guide should contain various tips on which items to craft in order to make sure that you get as much profit as possible. One danger with crafting is the fact that making the item may actually cost you more gold than you'll make selling it.

Because of this, a good WoW gold guide should actually be able to guide you regarding which items to craft and where to sell them for maximum profit.

4) Look for a leveling guide you have to realize that gathering gold is not the main object of playing WoW. Well, at least it isn't if you are not working in a gold farm.

A good WoW gold guide will be able to help you gather the amount of gold you need while leveling properly. Actually, it should point you to killing monsters which give you the maximum amount of both experience points and gold.

Although it is doubtful that you will be able to find the "perfect" leveling guide, looking for these qualities will certainly help you get closer to it. By following the tips above, you should at least be able to find a decent WoW gold guide which will allow you to enjoy the game as much as possible.

AP - The nation's obesity epidemic is exacting a heavy toll: The rate of new diabetes cases nearly doubled in the United States in the past 10 years, the government said Thursday. The highest rates were in the South, according to the first state-by-state review of new diagnoses. The worst was in West Virginia, where about 13 in 1,000 adults were diagnosed with the disease in 2005-07. The lowest was in Minnesota, where the rate was 5 in 1,000.

F.E.A.R Review

For the uninitiated, F.E.A.R., or First Encounter Assault Recon is a first person shooter developed by Monolith, and published by Sierra in 2005 for the PC. It was well received by many critics, and even won some awards for its story, gameplay, and atmosphere.

In F.E.A.R. you assume the role of "the Pointman" (for lack of a better name) during his first assignment with the secret U.S. Government organization "First Encounter Assault Recon". There was an uprising at the headquarters of Armacham, a weapons research corporation where a man called Paxton Fettel took control of an army of clones using his psychic link with them. You are dispatched to find, and neutralize Fettel before he can cause any more damage. Of course, the game would be ridiculously short if you killed him in the first mission, so things don't go as planned resulting in an escalating catastrophe. People blow up, pigs fly, cats and dogs rain from the sky, and little girls in red dresses control fire with their minds. If you're into action and horror stories then I suppose FEAR could be considered solid in terms of plot, but it wouldn't be wise going into it and expecting a good deal of depth. The game is after all first and foremost, a first person shooter.

The atmosphere receives nothing but praise from most critics, and fans. My question is why? As I went through the game I found the atmosphere to be fairly average. You probably were supposed to feel like a creepy little ghost girl called Alma was watching your every step, but I didn't. I was too focused on fighting the legions of Replica soldiers to care if Alma was hiding in generic dark office number twenty six. There were some interesting segments where you received "visions", but these were few and far between and a good deal of them were so similar that by the end of the game I wasn't particularly interested in them anymore.

Onto the meat of the game, the gameplay. FEAR doesn't stray far from the average first person shooter formula because hey, if it ain't broke don't fix it. The game uses a system which was made popular in the Xbox game Halo where you can only carry three weapons at any given time. This adds some layer of strategy to the game as you may end up going against a heavily armored robot with only a pistol, shotgun, and assault rifle. You do get a variety of melee moves to go along with your ranged toys, though; if you holster your weapon you can do a variety of punches, and with your weapon out you can do multiple styles of kicks which can kill enemies in one hit. To add to the fun your character has an ability called "SloMo" which allows him to briefly slow everything around him down making it easier to take down a significant amount of enemies. This can be useful since the enemy artificial intelligence is actually quite formidable. Your opponents will take cover, use flank tactics, throw grenades if you're hiding in a corner, try to dodge you if you attempt to slide kick them, and engage in melee if you get too close.

The gunfights in FEAR are a blast even with all of the cool new titles that have been released since like Crysis. Unfortunately the level design in FEAR doesn't have the same quality as its gunfights. The areas in the game are small, cramped, and generic looking. You've got deserted buildings, generic facility, generic office building, more deserted buildings, and more generic facilities. I'm well aware that FEAR is not Unreal and is trying to go for realism, but come on... if you want realistic at least give the player some realism with variety.

FEAR was a pretty impressive looking game in 2005, but now it's really showing its age. Still, characters and objects are detailed, when using SloMo you can see air displacement around bullets as they fly through the air, etcetera. Like everything concerning graphics, though; you stop caring about these little details after the first few minutes since you begin to take them for granted. I noticed that some of the game world textures are pretty low resolution, usually in the deserted buildings while some world textures are exceptionally detailed such as the office building textures. I'm not a graphic junkie, so it does not bother me much, but I do appreciate some level of consistency.

FEAR features some decent audio, the sound effects are all fitting. The game's voice work is great, the publisher definitely did not shirk on the voice talent budget. The music, however; is bland and forgettable. Naturally the background music is supposed to be ambient, so it can't be roaring heavy metal with mullet wielding rock stars screaming at the top of their lungs, but none of the tracks stood out for me.

F.E.A.R. is a great game for the gunfights, but the story is pretty simplistic, the atmosphere fairly lifeless, and the level design is nothing special. Still this is all a matter of opinion, and while F.E.A.R. has aged better than some other games out there, it is not the be all end all of first person shooter gaming.

Madden 09 For Xbox 360 Review

Madden 09 may be the best madden to date. It has tons of new features and great graphics. My favorite new feature is the "My skill". It has you take 4 test one for Offensive Running, Offensive Passing, Rush Defense, and Pass Defense. Each test test your skill in that area in a neon like field. It give you a rank for each skill called your "Madden IQ".

Then when you play a game it sets the difficulty level to how you did in the test. The best part is if in a game you did great running the ball but bad defending the pass your next game when you run the ball the difficulty will be turned up and next time you are defending the pass the difficulty will go down.

Another new feature is the "EA Rewind". This lets you "rewind" or replay a certain number of plays each game. This feature is more for the people who are new to the game. One thing I noticed while playing this game is they finally got rid of John Maddens annoying voice.=D. Sorry John but 19 years of commentary is enough. John is being replaced with Tom Hammond and Cris Collinsworth who are annoying also but what announcer isn't. Hell there still better then John. Another feature I like about this game is the "rivalry games".

Many maddens before this one have had rivalry games but the difference is that in this game all rivalry(and playoff in dynasty mode) are harder to play. So now Tom Brady can't exactly just plow his way threw the Jets he will have to use some skill. There are also some new Online features. You can now make a "league" which can hold up to 32 players, be password protected and so on.

In a league you can set up a season and even have playoff games against each other. The controls are great the highlight stick is back and better then ever. If there was anything I could change about this game it would be some kind of online fantasy draft. Overall it is a good game and I give it a 8.5 out of 10.
