A while ago, I was asking my wife if she played the WALL-E game cartridge on the V-smile game! But she said, not! I just didn’t ask that she will play it for our baby since baby’s watching his new Leap Frog movie (Learn to read at the storybook factory) right now!

We did a shopping today for the things that our baby boy needs. One of the things we purchased was the V-smile/ V-motion active learning center (a cordless game control). When we were home, this thing didn’t work since the one we had didn’t have a sensor like the V-motion! We thought that this cordless will work on the V-smile game console but it’s not! So, I guess, we need to save so that we will purchase the V-motion!

For a couple of months now, I love playing war craft! It is so pleasant to play with my older sons who are living in Denver! And this game is sort of bonding for the three of us! And sometimes, it is not just the three of us which will play with this online game but their wives as well! War craft is just a fun game to play with!

This is what I got for my baby on his 3rd birthday! And he likes this V-smile a lot! Though, there is one thing that he loves to do and this is to reset the game console so that he will always hear the word V-smile and he will always repeat after it! Also, there is a need to put a tape at the back of the game console since he is smart enough to open the battery cover and play with the battery instead of playing with the games!

The last couple of weeks while playing World Of Warcraft (WOW) my desktop computer kept popping up a warning that the graphics card was severely overheating. Thinking that it might have been dust build up inside the computer I took it apart and blew all the dust out. This seemed to help for a couple of days but the warnings started again just while playing WOW. I took the side panel off and observed the fan on the graphics card while playing and it was defiantly overheating. The graphics card I had in there was a 512 MB and was almost three years old so it was about time to upgrade it with a newer model anyway. After shopping around comparing and reading numerous reviews I decided on buying a Sapphire
This graphics card has duel DVI so if you want to use multiple monitors it has the capability. It also has an S cable output so if you want to watch it on your television you can also do that. The frame rate (FPS) in WOW jumped a full 10 FPS not on ultra graphic settings but just under. In Dalaran and other major cities  it averages right around 30 FPS and away from the cities it averages right around 60 FPS. While this graphics card works very well it is also very reasonably priced at just under 87.00 dollars and for a limited time also has a 10.00 dollar rebate which makes it even more reasonably priced. I have been using this graphics card for several days and I couldn’t be more pleased with it.

I am really not an avid gamer but there is one game that has held my interest for over a year WOW (World of Warcraft) I am sure most of you have heard about it as it has been out for several years. WOW is an online only role playing game that you can do quests, instances or if you prefer fight against other players (optional) unless you’re on a PVP (player verses player) server. There are two factions Alliance and Horde each has five races that you can choose to be.
Alliance:                                        Horde:
Human                                          Blood Elf
Night Elf                                        Orc
Gnome                                         Tauren
Dwarf                                            Troll
Draenei                                         Undead
There are also nine different classes that have different skills and abilities you can choose from.  There are vast areas to explore and many quests to do while you’re advancing your character and building up your equipment.  After you get through with the original World of Warcraft there are two expansions that have new quests and objectives.  After you get your character built up there are battle areas that you can team up with other players and fight the opposite faction with many players per side.  I could talk about the game forever and not cover it all so the Best thing to do is try it out with their ten day free trial to see for yourself. All you have to do is download it and register then start playing.
