Finding Free Online Horse Games
What's everybody talking about? They're talking about free online horse games.
I've been to the racetrack a thousand times, but never had so much fun until I stumbled onto the best kept secret on the Internet: free online horse games. This is nothing like Nintendo or Xbox. First, there are absolutely no upfront costs. Second, the arcade feel is gone, replaced by astounding 3-D virtual reality with selectable camera angles, even crowd noise. Did I say free? Am I reading out of your playbook?
My dad took me out for a beer when I came of age, and gave me a handful of money to bet on the ponies, which I was lucky I didn't lose since he coached me on betting principles and I played it safe. The good news with the free online horse games is that you don't use real money. Instead, you get points, which can be used to win free prizes, everything up to a trip to the Kentucky Derby. If that isn't your dream, you have never heard a stallion snort or need your head examined.
Only one thing's never changed - the adrenalin rush as the starting gate opens and the horses begin running, the increasing rush as the horses jockey for position. The final rush as they come in at the finish, showing the huge hearts of true thoroughbreds. My entire life is here on the racetrack. Anyone seen my laptop?
I confess my favorite horse of all time is Exterminator, winner of the 1918 Kentucky Derby. It was Willie Knapp who said "When he was at his best, Exterminator could have beaten Man o'War or Citation or Kelso or any other horse that ever lived on any track doing anything." That's one horse you won't need a rabbit's foot keychain for. He actually got better as he got older, winning 50 of 99 races, and finishing second and third 17 times each.
With the free online horse games I downloaded, I could actually ride Exterminator, and match him with any other famous champion that fit my mood. Of course I bet on my own horse, and I don't want to brag, but I'm expecting a free iPod any day.
The powers that be have no use for a dead horse, but not in the world of free online horse games, where all horses are immortal and ready for a race 24/7/365, always telling me what I want to hear, namely, ride me, ride me hard.
There are a variety of free online horse games out there at your fingertips, including those for harness racing, and they are all just waiting for you to download and play them. Their job is to make friends and stop boredom from happening. So don't be afraid of fake. Get off your starting gate. Download a free online horse game to enjoy now.

Warrior Builds
Not every WoW player likes tanking but for those who do, there are no serious objections in my book in leveling your Warrior as a Protection Warrior. It is not one of my preferred Warrior Builds but you can get some pretty good damage abilities by way of Revenge and Shield Slam and of course further along the higher levels, Shockwave is pretty awesome to have.
As you should know by now however, I am always heavily into the damage aspect and also leveling my characters quickly so I reckon that closer investigation of the Fury talent tree is worthwhile. You will eventually have the ability to equip not one but two, two-handed weapons but while you wait for that to happen; continue to equip two one handed weapons.
Here are some Warrior Builds for you to choose from. Both will serve you well and it is just up to you and your preferences. The first spec takes both Deep Wounds of Arms and Impale and the second spec has even more of the Fury talent tree associated with it!
First and foremost as a minimum starting point, I recommend that you take Improved Charge in the Arms Tree. After that is a 5% crit rating thanks to the Fury tree and you are now on your way! Swinging all those weapons around is hard work so you want to maximize your efforts and not miss your target very much! To help with that, try and get Precision and Weapon Mastery and Death Wish which will all improve your accuracy. The bonus of Death Wish is that it includes a cool damage boost as well. A good Warrior also thoroughly enjoys slicing and dicing their foes into mush and taking Flurry makes you feel all "Roguey" but just in plate armor!
Another great double edged ability for you to take next is the awesome Blood Thirst. Not only does it sound cool but it also restores health over time and really kicks butt in the damage dealing department. You will surely know too that Warriors don't really have many life giving abilities to speak of so this ability alone makes it perfect and extremely helpful for leveling.
Next, you have some more choices to make between some other sweet damage dealing talents. It is a good idea to sweep down the tree at later levels to pick up the ones you have missed but it is vital to get Rampage as soon as you possibly can. Not only does it only cost a single, solitary talent point but the damage boost you get as a result of it is more than significant!
Many WoW players heavily criticized the Warriors practically useless ability of Slam and in response to that, Blizzard have improved it to the point where you get a 20% to instant cast and the damage is much heavier too. The Warrior can also struggle unfairly at times when fighting multiple mobs so thanks to Cleave and Whirlwind this tree gives another great damage boost.
Now for the exciting finale! Let me tell you a little more about Titan's Grip! Once you have this ability, you get to equip and wield two sets of two handed weapons! This feature alone will not only substantially change the way you play the game but also cater to your cosmetic and pride needs when you see your Warrior looking meaner than ever with two major damage dealing two handed weapons at once! Brings a proud tear to the eye doesn't it? The only downfall to this is obviously the big hit you will take to your hit rating to make up for it but if you can manage to improve your hit rating high enough before you take it, the pros will certainly outweigh the cons!

SWTOR Guide to the Playable Races
For anyone who has watched the Star Wars film, the alien-like races do not come as a surprise. Based on the original movie by LucasArts, the MMORPG Star Wars the Old Republic makes a number of the races available for gamers to choose from. One of the rather obvious race that will be available is the Human race. It is said that the SWTOR races would be open for lots of customization so that each character comes out unique in appearance. Tattoos and Scars would be additions to further distinguish a character.
The known SWTOR races are: Human, Rattataki, Twi'lek, Chiss, Blood Sith, Miraluka, and Zabrak, which is a total of seven races gamers can choose from.
Like with most other MMORPGs, during character creation, gamers would be able to chose between creating a male or female character. The race that almost appears to be Human are the SWTOR Rattataki. The only difference is that the Rattataki has no hair and has very pale skin. Customization for the race is at the moment believed to be somewhat limited. Besides Humans, the other race that is almost a given to must be available in Star Wars the Old Republic due to its popularity with Star Wars fans is the Twi'lek. Known for their colorful skin with tail looking attachments on their heads, which is used for communication between themselves, the race is likely to be available to a large range of classes. In terms of customization, skin color is another given feature. Two genders, female and male would be available to the SWTOR Twi'lek as well.
The Chiss is a SWTOR race that would be available only to the Sith Empire, namely the Bounty Hunter and Imperial Agent class. Known customization for the race include tattos, hair and the more generic possibilities. Other Sith Empire races are the Blood Sith and Zabrak. The Sith race is probably one of the scariest looking race in the game and can be customized to look even more evil than the default character. It's speculated that there would only be female Siths. Going on to the Zabraks, it's the race that comes with horns in the movie. One of the well known Zabrak character in Star Wars is Darth Maul. Similarly to the Sith race, customization would work around making the character look as evil as possible.
The Miraluka is another race that closely resemble humans with the exception of eyes. Given the race has no eyes, they depend heavily on the Force. According to the lore, the race is highly attached to the Jedi Order. Unique customization for the class include visors and veils. Finally, there's the SWTOR Mirialan. The Mirialan race is distinguished by yellowish, greenish skin tone which can be rather pale as well. Lots of classes is expected to be available to this race with preference for Jedi Consular or Knight expected. Special specialization for this race include the option for face tattoos.

Evolution of Trivia Games on the Web
Lets admit it, playing is common in all societies and it is not likely that people will want to stop having fun. Some may argue that playing and having fun are not necessities. However, everybody prefers to have fun at work than to be bored with the daily routine. Don't you? Therefore, we can say playing is useful and can solve many problems. For instance, if people in your company were enjoying of their work on a daily basis, they would be more productive and besides, they would be nicer people to be around with. Kids at school don't always enjoy studying for their biology exam. They usually prefer to have fun and play than to be doing what they are ordered to do. Having this in mind, we can feel confident about stating again that playing is useful and it motivates people.
Why are we not converting every daily task into a fun activity? Why is it so difficult to make children enjoy of education at school? Certainly, many smart people around the globe are trying to figure out how to solve this problem. Probably the creators of Trivial Pursuit had something similar in mind when they decided to create their game. However, they were restricted to the knowledge contained inside some paper question cards inside a box. The good news is that thanks to the Internet, knowledge does not have to be constrained to the space of a box anymore. The World Wide Web is granting us with the necessary pathways to transport all kinds of knowledge to every corner with the only requisite of having Internet connection.
Trivia games can be used in the same way they were used before, to entertain and educate, with the difference that with the internet as an ally, the box of question can grow without having a defined limit. What would happen if every trivia lover started to put a question card inside that imaginary box (the Internet)? In that case there would always be an extra question nobody has tried guessing before.
There are applications for trivia games distributed all around the web, their advantage is they can use all the resources available on the Internet. In Trivial Pursuit it was not possible to use the millions of YouTube videos, or Images available in Google Images or in Flickr. Now that is possible. Trivia games on the web can have access to all those resources and make good use of them to entertain and educate. Trivia games are evolving from being mere letters in a paper question card, to be software applications played over the browser where multimedia helps users to be more engaged and get the most fun out of each question. The trivia world is evolving!
