In dealing with funny games online, features are always on the top of gamers' considerations. They usually base their choices in the power of features and how they could bring remarkable gaming experiences to them. No one will prefer games that will just present very simple sets of operations over more challenging ones. Most gamers would really prefer those challenging play-offs. The more fun and excitement they can feel when they are being challenged by these games. Boredom is not an issue when it comes to challenging play-offs, most especially if multi-playing is allowed, as almost all gamers like playing with real players. They will enjoy more when they are playing with their friends. Gaming is truly a great bonding activity that is suitable for groups of friends who prefer to just stay in one place to play computer play-offs rather than going outdoors.
Game playing is also a good leisure activity for families. Of course, not all the time families will spend their spare time together in other places. Many families like spending their spare time at their own homes. The most comfortable place to stay-in is always at home. Members of the families can play various funny games via video game consoles, personal computers, laptops, computer tablets, mobile phones, and other gaming devices. Out of these devices, personal computers are the common ones that are being used by gamers and non-gamers, as these tools are multi-purpose. Although computers are not made specifically for gaming only, but people can make these devices specialized for playing. With computer upgrading systems, the features of computers will be enhanced to more powerful ones that are capable of playing games that have larger memory requirements due to their advanced graphics and functionality.
Upgrading computers into advanced levels is certainly possible and not that hard to do, as you will just have to consult for computer technicians or perhaps gaming experts. However, doing this could really cost you big amount of money, most especially if you wanted to replace several tools and features at the same period of time. Upgrading in a practical way would really take years just to make your device a really powerful one, unless you are willing to spend lots of your money in just a short period of time. You can upgrade tools and features gradually. In fact, it would me much better to upgrade them one at a time. You can save money when you are willing to do it in a practical way. There are also many gaming tools that are on-sale if you just have the perseverance to search for them in various places. Video cards are basic requirements for these upgrading methods, and most of these high-level video cards would really cost you a lot, especially those new versions.
Great games will be more appreciated if they will be played using good devices. If these advance play-offs are made to be played in particular devices, their wonderful features will show if playing requirements will be followed efficiently. In every game there are always playing requirements. Even though you can play most of these games using different gaming devices, but still they are more promising when their requirements are followed.
Many games offer realistic gaming experiences to consumers, most of these are considered as high-level games with advanced requirements. They could present promising graphics that could make gaming very realistic, just like gamers who are really playing in action. The action figures of these wonderful play-offs can bring more intense effects, as if gamers represent their own characters. Thus, adrenaline levels will definitely increase along with intense action scenes.
Several action games like those fighting and racing play-offs could bring adrenaline rush to players, because of their realistic features. Players could really feel the actual game situations just like they are really present there. Some racing games will make players feel that they are the real drivers, because of the clarity of the graphics, audio, and controls. They can control some of racing cars almost the same as they are really driving them. These action games are available online, which can play them via the internet or can even download them, so that players can play them anywhere and anytime.
Other features include live interaction while playing. This means that player can interact with their co-payers even when they are playing by just opening chat box feature. Funny games that offer this great features are those online games that are played with the presence of the Internet. Since the web allows networking of data from different places, thus it allows communication as well. This advantage was incorporated to online games, so that player can get the realistic gaming experiences they expected to have.
With the advancements of technologies nowadays, 3D games were discovered. These play-offs have more realistic appeals. Their graphics could enhance the appearances of your favorite gaming characters, as you can see them just like they are in front of you. The movements of gaming figures are far different from ordinary games when you play 3D play-offs. Since they have 3-dimensional graphic feature, thus they can make people believe that they are representing their characters. The action scenes can be made more intense if the graphics are wonderful, and will be put together with magnificent audio capabilities. The sound is a significant part of gaming, as it is not just all about viewing. Gaming involve people's sense of sight and hearing. Games could hardly appreciate any funny games that have no sound features. Actually, all games really need the stated basic features, so that they can be labeled as real ones, because one of their main purposes is to entertain. It would be hard for these games to bring out their purposes if they did not possess these uncovered basic features.

Augmented Reality Gaming in Zero Gravity - Fun at An Orbiting Space Hotel
Augmented Reality living room home gaming is all the rage with systems like Wii Technologies and Kinect Gaming, but have you ever considered how difficult such games might be to play in zero-gravity, or how fun it might be to try? Consider if you will the opportunities and applications available to a gamer in a space colony, whether orbiting in a space station, space hotel, or stationed on the moon or mars? Surely, you realize that this future is coming, and that it will not be long now.
For instance, there are many space enterprises being developed by the private sector right now. There are expanding space hotels being configured, and they will be up and launched within the next 5 to 10 years. Within the next 30 years there will surely be a lunar colony, and people on Mars. What will they do for entertainment? In many regards they will live in an enclosed any encapsulated environment. Sports as we know them on Earth will not be possible, at least not at first due to the sizes of soccer fields, baseball diamonds, and hockey rinks - but that doesn't mean they can't play in Augmented and Virtual Reality.
Perhaps the player might be tethered as they play a video game, and they can let their feet leave the ground and feel as if they are flying, while they watch the video screen. If there are flat-panel displays all around them which were part of the room, they might feel the sensation and rush of speed from a base jump, without actually going anywhere. They might even experience horizontal B.A.S.E. Jumping by pushing off of the sidewall, while tethered to a bungee cord like system. The screen in front of them would be one of the ground getting larger, and larger very quickly as they got closer to the screen.
Are you beginning to see the possibilities? The best part about it is that all this technology already exists, they only have to be implemented. Humans already have all these entertaining gaming situations and technologies, and they exist right now within the real world. Throw in a little zero gravity, and you're ready to have a good old time. And that perhaps will be the future of augmented reality gaming in a low gravity or even a zero gravity environment. Indeed I hope you will please consider all this and think on it. If you have any comments, questions, and/or concerns please feel free to shoot me an e-mail.

Gaming Desktop Configuration
Gaming desktops are top-of-the-line computers configured to run the all the modern games the gaming world has to offer. They don't come cheap, if you're wondering, nor are they eco-friendly when it comes to power consumption, but they are the best desktops when it comes to gaming, and they will display every pixel in crystal clear detail when needed. In order to have a good gaming desktop configuration, you'll have to have a basic grasp over some of the specifications such a machine should carry. You'll also have to set up a budget when trying to configure such a machine, or upgrade your current specs.
The Central Processing Unit
Gaming desktops need a powerful processor in their configuration in order to keep up with the ever-increasing requirements modern games have. Without a good CPU, you won't be able to even start-up such a game, not to mention run it. Your focus here is somewhere in the quad-core range. These can be a bit pricey, but they're a well worth investment in your future as a gamer, since they won't grow obsolete for years to come. Try to allocate at least 35% of your budget to this spec, since it's very important both for gaming and for other daily tasks you might run into.
You might also want to take note of the current socket your computer has for the processor, and explore upgrade options for that particular socket. But if you want a complete system upgrade, you'll also have to get a new motherboard to support the newer processor types that come out.
The System Memory
A decent amount of RAM will run a decent game. A higher amount of system memory will be a lot better for your gaming needs, since most games today require at least 2GB of RAM to run properly. If you really want to get the best performance out of your gaming desktop, your configuration for this spec should be in the 4-8GB RAM range. Luckily, RAM is an easily upgradeable spec, since most motherboards will carry around 4 sockets. If all the sockets are occupied on your system, you should look for RAM modules with a larger amount of system memory available.
The Visuals
The graphics card is the most important spec when figuring out the configuration of your gaming desktop. This is the element that brings true visual bliss to the gaming experience, so the joy factor will suffer if you neglect this aspect. There are tons of cards out there, but only a few which you can truly call the best. Since the best cards come at quite a big price tag, don't overdo it when purchasing a video card for your system. You should wait for a while since the prices on these things tend to go on a downward slope quite quickly, and you could get the same card at half the price in a matter of months, or weeks even in some cases.
Try to find a balance for these three important specifications when configuring your gaming desktop. Also, never spend all your budget on one of them, since the system will be unbalanced and data bottlenecks can occur.

Gaming, Innovating, Imitating, and Cloning Considered
Sometimes it seems that many video games, although they have different graphics, tend to have the same feel as you play. There is a very good reason for this, and perhaps, it comes from the human ability to imitate, and copy - it's innate, but does that make it okay? Ah, do I hear more controversy in the gaming community? Surely, I jest. Some rather innovative gaming programmers are miffed as others nix their creative abilities and copy their games. How bad is it, whom does it hurt, and why are such open-source advocates now angry at the borrowing of gaming themes and styles of play?
Indeed there was terrific article not too long ago in the Los Angeles Times titled "Game Developers Fight a Cloning War - Some Creators Feel Cheated By Alleged Idea Theft, But Others Think Cloning Can Be Good for Gaming" by Jamin Brophy-Warren, which was published on April 18, 2011. The article discusses the challenges of proprietary themes and concepts in video, internet, and computer gaming along with the proverbial quote; "Imitation is the highest form of flattery" motif.
Question is; when does outright copying of a computer game idea violate patent laws, or proprietary source? Further, I ask; is it illegal, in poor taste, or just unethical to make such copies, and when genres are copied in the movies, books, literature, and computer games who wins, and who really loses?
If there is a market for games of certain genres, styles, and scenarios then surely gaming programmers will come to the gamer's, and consumer's rescue right? I mean if there is money out there and folks desire certain types of games, you can bet gaming entrepreneurs will fulfill those wants and needs - that's how it works in the market place and the gaming sector and computer game industry is surely no different.
Consider if you will the counter argument to the gaming programmers who get pissed-off that others are basically copying their ideas, and merely changing the graphics. What If - no one was allowed to copy a given genre in literature, novels, or movies? There would be only one Western Movie, one Romance Novel, one Science Fiction Novel with aliens, etc. Would that really be fair to the public, who wants to be entertained with money in hand?
And to that point of contention, what about the Movie "Tron" and its central theme, namely; "power to users" - would the industry really be served if no other companies copied the standard genres or the future sub-genres? After all, people loved the movie Matrix, and that entire branch of Sci Fi mixed with philosophy. Many computer games are now based on similar themes, so they too copied a Movie Genre. Now the computer gamer programmers are angry that folks are copying their style, or various version of play, should they be?
After all the more others copy them, the more gamers buy games in that genre or using those styles, which makes it that much more powerful and therefore, more money for those who produce new games, and more sales for the old ones too, longer shelf life of active sales. See that point? I knew you would.

Yahoo Installs Bus Stop Video Games
No more boring moments waiting for your bus to come. Yahoo has decided to install giant touch screen video games in twenty bus shelters in San Francisco so people waiting for the bus can play against people at other bus shelters while they wait. Players have a choice of four mini games, single or multiplayer and results are updated in real time allowing neighborhoods to see how they are doing against cross city rivals. The neighborhood with the best score wins a block party some time in February with the band OK Go to perform.
Almost sounds like as much fun as playing games on your smart phone except that you have to hang out at a bus shelter. Great way to pass the day for workers and students alike. Take a look at this worker cleaning the bus shelter and students so wrapped up in the competition missing their bus. If this becomes a thing of the future there will be a lot of people losing their jobs and a lot of late slips being handed out at schools. These touch screens are scheduled to be removed by the end of January but if this campaign was as successful as believed it would be you'll be seeing a lot more of these game screens popping up around the world. What a great advertising tool and leave it to Yahoo to come up with such a great idea. Target audience - young people such as high school students who love playing video games. How much would the video game giants pay for this type of advertising? Lets just say the sky is the limit with this one.
