A Free Studio Package for Vloggers with 3 Cool Effects

If you are video blogger or a vlogger, then this tool will help you with your vlogging. This tool is called Eye Contact. According to the developers from NVidia:

The new Eye Contact effect moves the eyes of the speaker to simulate eye contact with the camera — achieved by estimating and aligning gaze. The eyes retain their natural color and blinks, and there’s even a disconnect feature in case you look too far away, to transition smoothly between simulated and real eyes.

This tool or effects I believe is integrated in NVidia Broadcast app. I believe this app and this tool or effects is very useful to all bloggers like me who likes to make notes or quote some research or other people's quotes. I think this is also great for online news broadcasters who most of the time reads script they have written. This will help them maintain eye contact to viewers. I think this app is available FREE for NVidia users or GeForce RTX GPU owners.

They have also included the Vignette effect which adds bokeh effect on your video and at the same time they have updated their Virtual Background effect making it like a studio package for bloggers. So that's Eye Contact, Vignette and Virtual Background. You can download the app here. Enjoy the freebies guys.

Stock Trading with eToro

Good day everyone. I know it has been a long time since I've blogged but I'm back. So while I was away for a long time. I've learned some great and interesting things that can make your future more secured and your present profitable. But what am I talking about here. I've been to affiliate marketing for a long time and it did gave me a few extra bucks but I never knew that there is a greater profit in stock trading. Well, I actually knew it but I don't know how. So while I was away, I read some stuffs about stock trading and asked a few friends that are into it and watched some videos as well.

So I've been busy educating myself with the help of Financial Advisers and videos from Youtube about stock trading and I've engaged myself in eToro since my friend have already tried using it. The great thing about them is that it is easy to start it. I've lost a few bucks and earned a few as well - I'm still learning the curves but I am doing good so far. So as part of my Financial Literacy topic on my other blog, I will teach you how to open an account with eToro and how to fund it.

First, you must know that in stock trading - you only trade with what you are willing to lose. Which means invest only the amount you are willing to lose - don't worry, once you've learned the curves, you'll probably earn more and once you've seen it is gaining more, you'll want to have more profit by increasing your investment.

So here is how. First, signup at eTORO. Best if you can fill-up all the necessary information that is needed. Try to make your account VERIFIED by submitting all the necessary required documents - don't worry it is not that hard.

Once you have signed up at eToro, you can use their virtual money to gain access to trading. It is like an actual trading, so learning will be easier for you. You can watch some videos from youtube about stock trading and apply your knowledge here at eToro.

If you have learned the how to trade then you might want to fund your eToro account with real money to earn real profit as well. Now, this is where it gets tricky if your country is supported. There are a few ways to fund your account at eToro - one is thru bank transfer, you can also use PayPal. My only problem with PayPal is that if I decided to withdraw my money, I won't have a way to take my money from PayPal since they only accept american banks. What I've used is SKRILL, it is like PayPal but what's great is that you can add your bank in your current country like here in Saudi Arabia. You can also add a credit card on Skrill. Make your account VERIFIED as well.

Once you are verified in Skrill, you can now fund your eToro. First is you login at eToro and click the big button DEPOSIT Fund on the bottom-left corner of the screen. There it will take you to the options in funding your account. Choose Skrill (make sure your credit card is already added in your Skrill account and it should be verified already). Once you are in, just follow the steps.

Enjoy your stock trading adventure and hope you have a fruitful or profitable earning towards a better future. I'll post more about eToro and other financial literacy or investment stuffs in the future so get in touch with my blog. See you all. Thanks for the visit.

The Rubber Band Machine Gun

During my young years, I remember playing with a customized gun made out of sticks and wood and my ammo is a rubber band. Sometimes I wish I was back on those years and play cops and robbers with my friends. Surprisingly, like the Power Up Paper Planes I posted last time those guns I used to play with my friends just got an upgrade too of course it comes with a price - a whopping $140 dollars. Well, it seems even the older generation will enjoy this new upgrade but with that amount, I'll probably stick with the sticks and rubbers.

The Rubber band machine gun is not something to joke about, try joking with someone holding a gun like this. I remember being hit by a rubber band gun before - it doesn't hurt much but it hurts big time if you get hit twice or more. Anyways, here is a video of how it works. It's like jet fighters Vulcan guns, it even sounds like one (I mean the rolling of the barrels).

POWER UP Your Paper Planes!

During my childhood days, making a paper-plane was the best part of my life and I don't mind sharing the same happiness to my kids. But what if those paper plane can be powered-up? Imagine you can control your paper plane 's direction and when you want to land it - that would be cool invention!

Final Fantasy VI on iOS and Anroid

When I heard about Square Enix's news about Final Fantasy VI I got quite excited and checked out the screenshots as soon as I heard about it, but I got quite disappointed. Maybe I was expecting a really nice looking game. It is quite nice to look at but I was expecting it to be better. I know I shouldn't be expecting something really nice for tablets but have they seen the graphics of most games lately? I like the Final Fantasy III & IV for android were much better looking - dunno - can't tell because they only went out with 2 screenshots. But I am hoping to hear more about their Kingdom Hearts. I think they so much potential on the tablet market right now.

Dunno, let's see what happens next. From the looks of the first screen shot below - it looks like 3D acceleration or engine will be required, most probably for tablets with NVidia Tegra graphics built-in to it may be able to play with it. And probably they'll show a better screenshot next time.

So here are the screenshots for Final Fantasy VI (iOS / android games).

Blizzard's Heroes of the Storm

Okay, it has been a long time since I've updated this blog and it deserves something new and very entertaining to look at. I have been so busy with my offline adventures in life and I've neglected to update two of my blogs - I know it is supposedly a good thing. Okay so this afternoon I decided to visit Blizzard's page and just discovered their new addition to The World of Warcraft series and a new game called Heroes of the Storm.

I decided to check-out the new title since World of Warcraft is not new anymore and boy I am into a surprise. I decided to watch its cinematic trailer and was amazed at the battle seen. Starcraft's Kerrigan vs. Diablo's Tyrael, Starcraft's Nova (Ghost) vs. World of Warcraft's Lich King and Raynor vs. Diablo (okay I am not entirely sure if it was even Diablo). It was ridiculously amazing - I have to check the video clip of the gameplay before I close my mouth because of amazement. It seems the game is like DOTA or Defense Of The Ancients which made me feel good and bad. Good because if it's like DOTA it won't require too much PC specs and disappointed because I was kinda expecting it to be like Skyrim and Kingdoms of Amalur. I want it to be a first person gameplay. Anyway, it still looks good.

You have to see it for yourself. Here is the video clip of the cinematic trailer:

And here is the video of the gameplay.

Enjoy and hope you have fun watching. By the way, the game is on BETA right now and everyone is welcome to apply for a Beta test.

HP Slate 21" a Larger-Scale Android Experience

So far, the biggest screen ever made was 10 inches for all tablets so it was quite surprising for HP to create something of a different scale. That's right HP Slate 21 is the first ever android desktop PC ever made - it's just like your desktop PC but with an Android OS. Would this bold move by HP threaten Microsoft? Probably. Imagine desktop machines with just 16//32/64 GB of hard disk space since applications developed in android don't require large space unlike in windows.

The device/machine comes with a keyboard and mouse (wired) and has 3 USB ports and a SD Card slot for extra space. Of course you can also use the USB port for your external hard disks. You can also use it to watch movies and play games. And since it is packed with NVidia graphics, you can play HD games or even 3D games as much as you want.

This really got me interested and I'm already considering to buy one. But for the mean time, let's wait for further feedback from its users. As a smart buyer, learn from other's mistake and get the winning product. Well, I don't want to take too much of your time. Thanks for visiting us once again. Here is a quick demo of the HP Slate 21.

Diablo 3: Now on PS3 and Xbox 360

After unveiling their new expansion pack for Diablo 3, now you can play this game on your consoles PS3 or Xbox 360. Blizzard may have fine-tuned this version for both consoles but it is just like the PC/Mac versions only with some tweaks for the console's controller and some customized interface.

Now Blizzard has a lot more in their hands aside from Diablo 3 PC/Mac users on their battle.net. I wonder how which one will be better at gameplay, the PC/Mac or the console-tuned D3. Another things is, will they be asking you to get connected and create a battle.net account first before playing the game? --probably not since they'll make the D3 Xbox Live available only til October 4. Like most games, both will cost a $59.99.

Here is the article for D3's press release - click here. Enjoy guys.

Future Cars are Flown!

I always wondered how it looked like when cars could fly.... now I know. I recently found some experimental cars on Youtube that is totally cool. It\s probably the most wonderful invention but of course they should also consider the fact that most of these designs need an airstrip and might need an air tower to monitor these flying cars as well. Anyhow, just check the videos.

And here's another one but I prefer the first one which is more like a helicopter coz I love helicopters. Imagine hundreds of this car on the air. Don'\t want this flying on my area, specially since I am here in Saudi Arabia, I can almost imagine the number of accidents.

Starcraft II: Heart of Swarm Opening Cinematic

Check out the new cinematic video of Starcraft II: Heart of Swarm. Kerrigan looks hotter than ever. Well, if you have seen the ending of Starcraft II then you won't be surprised at all. Now, I know why Raynor has got some hots on her. The game is coming on March 2013.

Got Our First Paycheck

Jeddah. Me and my wife had ventured into a home-business program last October. We were only planning on buying their product shampoo because we were having problem with our dandruff which was caused by the water system here in Saudi Arabia but after seeing the efficiency of their product called Arctic Sea, we were so in to it. Of course, me and wife talked about it for a few days before we really decided to join them. 

Actually, we have been searching for a business we could deal while here abroad. Before we even went on vacation, we decided to look for a product to market here in Saudi Arabia for business. Our first thoughts were bags, since we have lots of good manufacturing companies back in our country. Our main concern was the product shipment. Next option we had was T-Shirt printing business but then again, shipment of the equipment was our main issue. I tried to contact a local friend but he was not easy to contact so in the end we did not find any product to market here abroad. My aunt showed me a product, herbal tea and some other stuffs. It got me interested but then again when I asked her how I can get the product, she said that I have to ship it here which is of course the same issue. I even thought of being an investment agent or insurance or even real-estate sales but it all requires a lot of training and time which I don't have back in Manila. And so I went back here in Saudi Arabia without any product to sell. That is why when we learned about Forever Living Products here in Saudi Arabia, we became interested. 

And so after watching a demo, we were told to open our minds. So we opened our minds, we don't want to waste our time by being there and having a close mind so we just did as we were told. And we were really amazed. At first I thought FLP is just another MLM scheme in which you can only earn from having downlines and just one of those scam MLMs. But after seeing the demo on how big FLP is, having their own plantation, manufacturing company with robotics, having their own researchers and scientists, even having their own resorts and they have been on the business for (34) thirty-four years, most online MLMs I've known were closed now. So we joined and tested their product and we were more amazed at the company after experiencing their great products - so it's not just all talk after all.

To make the story short, we used their products and we shared our experience and got our first paycheck just awhile ago. It's an early Christmas gift us couples. Thank you Lord for a great blessing.

The Unbelievable Beckham

Wow! This is unbelievable. And I thought he was just for good looks. I haven't really saw him play but after seeing this clip, count me in as one of his fans. I can't imagine the control he has on his legs and man... David Beckham, are you an alien? Watch out for K and J.

You all got to see this clip.

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.

The XBOX 360 Halo 4 Bundled: Limited Edition

Have you seen the Halo 4 game preview? If not, you should see it. It seems the Floods aren't the only threat now. Actually, from what I've heard, the Floods have been eliminated already in Halo 3 (haven't played it yet, sorry).. And with the new threat, it seems Floods can't really be compared to the new threat. Well, I have yet to play Halo 3 before I get to enjoy this new game Halo 4. I've played Halo 1 and 2 and I am pretty sure that I'd enjoy Halo 3 and 4. My son is asking me for a game console either PS3 or Xbox 360 and I think I am already found my answer.

This limited edition Xbox 360 game console has this features:
