Seagate 3TB USB 3.0 External Hard Drive for $99.99


I was browsing the web when i got into a great deal on the web. It's a Seagate Expansion 3 TB USB 3.0 Desktop External Hard Drive that is worth only $99.99 (379SAR) - ain't that a great deal? I really could use one of this (oh how I wish!) and probably sell my 2 pcs of 1TB external hard drive from Western Digital. I don't have any complaints with my current 1TB ext. hard drives but I do really need an extra space for a backup of all my digital goodies, my drive is getting a bit crowded and unsorted. If I get one of this, I'll probably put all my goodies from my 2 ITB hard drives in it and then I'll dedicate one of my 1TB on all the digital images I took with my Nikon D90. 

It's really a great deal because last time I check from a computer shop 2TB external drive costs around 400+SAR(around 106 for a 2TB). This item would also be a great addition to Christmas Gift Idea for 2012 and it's a great Tech Deals for every gadget lovers out there like me. Grab one now while there still some on their stocks. 

Product Specification:
  • Instantly add 3 TB of storage space to your computer
  • Simple plug-and-play connectivity via USB cable
  • Power supply and USB 3.0 cable included
  • USB 3.0 interface for extremely fast data transfer speeds (USB 2.0 compatible)
  • Drive is automatically recognized by Windows; no software installation required
Click the link to find more about it's details. That's it for now. Be on a lookout for more great tech deals I'll be featuring here. Have a nice day.

El Presidente Trailer


Wow! after seeing this great video clip, I want to be patriotic once again. It is an all-star cast and I believe this will be a great movie and people would feel patriotic too once they see this movie. They should make movies like this more often. I'm sure if this would be the standard, I'll be more than willing to watch our very own movies. It's not that I am bullying our movie industry but if you try to look at some of our movies, you'd understand why. If they say movie is an art, this is just one perfect example of that. Not just for the money but for a better movie itself. Great casting too (the characters fit well). Enjoy the movie trailer guys.

Multi-Level Marketing at a Glance


I've already neglected some of the categories I have written before so let us refresh those categories and go back to business category.
MLM or Multi-Level Marketing is a strategy or scheme where a member gets commission not just from their sales but also from the people and they recruited. Sometimes compensation comes from 1st generation or direct recruits up to variable generation. Some call this scheme Pyramid Selling, Networking / Network Marketing, Referral Marketing. They come in two types; online and offline.


I've joined a lot of online MLM before and it was really a good income if you really work for it. Online MLM has lots of ways you can earn like getting bonuses from pairs, having up to 8th generation earning which means you'll get more from your downline's downline's downline up to whatever the company has promised you. It's amazing how many people (like me) where lured on this. Most of this are selling e-books or sometimes none at all, which means you earn only by referring and no useable products for you or to sell.

Oflline MLM in some way is the same with offline but most of these business are selling products. Having a downline makes you earn more incentive from their sales too. It's like a word-of-mouth marketing because it mostly involve a person to person marketing unlike the online MLM which you can promote and just leave info on the internet and then someone can join.

Now a lot of people criticize this scheme to be scums. This could be most probable with online MLMs and I've joined a few before so better beware of these companies. Well, in my opinion, as long as the company is selling a product (tangible) and useful to the consumer then I think they aren't scams unless they are not paying the people of their hardships in selling the product. 

When we look at our job and our company, who would be at the top? Where are you located in your company's organizational chart? Are you at the mid-level or the lowest-level? Does the organizational chart look like a pyramid? In your company, whenever a product is sold who benefits most to the income? You'll be probably paid a fixed profit only or an incentive of a percentage of a big sales. 

I've seen a lot of growing companies but the lowest-level mostly stays the same after years of working. However in MLM, when you work hard, you get compensated really well. Of course the top-most usually earns a part of your earnings but it is part of the business everywhere you go. I actually saw a MLM where you can earn more than your upline if you really work hard and your upline is lazy. Their product is really good and very useable. 

So that concludes it. There is no problem joining these kind of businesses but be extra careful in joining. It is best to investigate first before you join. I guess if the company is already established for a long time and has a very good product (legal) to sell and marketing plan then it is good.

Batman: Arkham City Review


Okay, I admit it, the past week has been busy for me and it's not because of doing something really productive, I've been addicted to Batman: Arkham City. So, how addicting was it? Lets just say, I always visit Facebook like 20-50 times a day but when I played Batman, it became twice a day (morning and evening before sleeping) - that's how addicted I am to the game. I know this is a bit late but I still want to make a review about it. Don't worry, I won't be biased about this review. Here it goes.

Graphics is awesome! It should be good since it is using Unreal's technology. Tosha (my laptop) really made my day when it played Batman flawlessly. There was just some slow downs in some parts of the game, specially after cut-scenes and you have to fight a lot of enemies. It is probably because of the rendering of all the enemies I was about to face. About the characters, I love the Batman character and the Catwoman looks great too! She is so hot!

Gameplay is another awesome part! I can't believe fighting games can be this realistic. It's like I am watching a Batman movie or better yet Taken but of course the best part was I get to pick who I kick or knock to the ground first. Having played Rainbow Six and Splinter Cell trained me really well in having patience when it comes to knocking down enemies while on a stealth mode. I love creeping on my prey and silently knock them unconscious (though there is a part of me that wants to stick a knife at their back or slit their throat - forgive my violence). It's like I am playing Splinter Cell again but with kick-ass fighting moves. I just hope there\ll be an option where you can interact with the environment like picking up a glass and throwing it on the enemies like how the enemies pick up a fire extinguisher and throw it at me. Oooh! oooh! I love the part where you can catch the stuff the enemy throws at you and throw it back at them.

Actions and Movements is pretty simple too, like most games now - keyboard plus the mouse for action. I love how you can counter an enemies attack using the right-click while using the middle-click to make the enemies dizzy and do your killer combo after that - it was awesome!

The story is awesome too! Playing this game made mo love Batman more. Of all the characters in DC comics, Batman is my favorite and this game just made me love Batman more. Love the twist of the story and the character build-up. I love the story so much. I just finished the part where Joker dies and now I'm playing as Catwoman (ooops! sorry for the spoiler for all those who haven't played it yet). But did Joker really died? Knowing Joker, he has lots of tricks on his sleeves.

Overall, it was a great game so to all who haven't played the game yet. Grab a copy now at your favorite game shop. It is a game worth playing. A worthy of everyone\s game archive. Thanks and hope to see you again on another game review or some tips.
