The Ultimate Guide to Text and Phone Game is an eBook produced by Love Systems’ dating coaches Braddock and Mr. M.

Love Systems is one of the largest and most well known dating coaching companies in the world. They have a global presence with over 30 dating instructors. The company has made many big media appearances such as on shows like the Tyra Banks show and Dr. Phil.

I review tens of dating advice for men products monthly. It’s my job. Most of them are bad. Unfortunately. There are many scams, frauds and well – just in effective or silly products on the market to help men with their dating lives. So it gives me pleasure when I find and consume the good ones. “The Ultimate Guide to Text and Phone Game” is one such product. But, before I talk about it, let me take a step back here to explain the background issue for men.

Many guys, when they find the good dating advice improve their immediate results pretty dramatically. They start getting phone numbers from women pretty easily. And sometimes they get results with those women. Often, however, the get frustrated after getting a girl’s phone number. A stumbling block for many guys has been getting the girl to meet up again after they have got the phone number. If you’ve ever taken a girl’s number and called her to meet up again – I’m sure you can relate. It isn’t easy, especially if you met in less than usual circumstances such as through a cold approach (i.e. she was a stranger before you walked up and spoke to her).

So that is the issue that The Ultimate Guide to Text and Phone Game attempts to address. And honestly, it has been a big gap in dating advice for a long time. It was something that needed to be spoken about. Guys weren’t getting results because of this. The ebook discusses everything from how to take a woman’s phone number to texting her and phoning her to build up a relationship and set up a meet with her. It is 162 pages long and comprehensive.

Now, there is lots of stuff I really liked about the ebook. The main thing that I could criticize a bit was a relatively high price tag at $97. Even so, for guys who are having difficulty converting their phone numbers into dates. It’s great value. It’s a frustrating problem, and this is a solid product to address it.

What makes it so good?

For one it is comprehensive. It addresses everything from how to ask for a number to how to set up the meet. When I finished the ebook it had covered everything I’d ever done or head of from peers in my 8 years studying dating science, and it had added an extra 50% on top of that. I feel there is simply nothing else to say on the subject.

This ebook also stands out because of how it tackles a pretty complex situation. When you have a girl’s phone number and you text or phone her, you have no way of knowing what mood she is in, how busy she is or how she will initially react. Cutting through that uncertainty to give you a plan of action in every situation is the greatest achievement of this ebook. They have designed a simple system with calibration techniques so that you know what to do in each step.

Braddock and Mr. M say at the beginning of the book that you shouldn’t count on converting every phone number into a meet. Which is true. The unknown variables of what else could be happening in the girl’s life can always go against you (whilst having nothing to do with you). But, bar that, they’ve developed a great approach to minimize those failures.

To code, or not to code

There’s a fairly sharp, though not always easily visible, line drawn between the two different groupers of gamers. There are those that use cheat codes for Xbox 360 games, and those that don’t. Usually the people that refuse to cheat can’t understand why the people that are willing to use cheat codes would do so… and the cheaters can’t understand what all the high and mighty fuss is about! Today we check out what’s good about using Xbox 360 cheat codes, and what’s not.

Does cheating make games boring… or does NOT cheating make them boring?

There are strong arguments on both sides of the fence that in certain situations, both using cheats and not using cheats is equally boring.

For example, it’s no fun metaphorically banging your head against the brick wall of some part of an Xbox 360 game that you just cannot figure out. As graphics have gotten better, game developers have also become trickier, and now it can take many, many weeks of gameplay to get past difficult places in difficult games.

However, using cheat codes, no matter how hard you tried to complete the certain part of the game beforehand, does take away that sense of accomplishment… and ultimately contribute to a feeling of boredom with the game.

Getting new levels / different characters / other bonuses

Cheat codes aren’t always about just skipping a level or part that you just can’t do. Sometimes you can use them to get hidden characters or unlock levels that simply can’t be unlocked any other way. Remember, the developers expect people to look on the internet for cheats, and design their games accordingly! If you ignore all cheats, you’re certainly missing out on the full capabilities of your Xbox 360 games.

Too busy

It may be possible for you to get past a certain point in a level… if you just had enough hours in the day to practice. Most of us are too busy to put in the weeks required to perfect a single jump-roll-gun draw combination, and a cheat can help you move on to other, more exciting parts of the game.

Foiling the time wasters!

Sometimes game developers just seem exceptionally sadistic… you might have to collect hundreds of different items, or win a race that you can already nail 50 times to get enough cash to progress in the game. Cheats can help you get past these ‘time wasting’ parts in Xbox 360 games that you know you’re capable of doing… you just couldn’t be bothered with them!

Okay for single player games, but not online play?

Cheats are available for all different sorts of games, not only the single player games on Xbox 360. When you start using cheats in online play against other (real) players, a whole new can of worms is opened up… and while most Xbox 360 gamers would admit to using cheats in single player games and describe them as a ‘victimless crime’, the same can’t be said about using cheats to defeat real people!

In the current scenario, the technology is evolving faster than we can imagine. The game consoles are the best choice regardless of sex or age. Especially children and teenagers quickly learn and adopt new video games coming to market at each station. This is precisely what made the PlayStation2, a revolution in the market. Every serious player bets on his performance and features. Today when the video game has found its place in the heart of every child, new versions of games are being introduced at regular intervals and becoming popular if they work well.

One of the most significant aspects of video game consoles is that these game consoles are coming to market with its new version that adds more experience to the games. PlayStation 2, the most advanced entertainment system in the world of video games allow people of any age or group entering the world of fantasy.

The PlayStation 2, the successor to the PlayStation, is one of the best systems of game consoles. The PlayStation2 is complete with games, is the favorite system of lovers of games. Every lover of the game has different motivations for choosing their games, some like the quality of images, some like it because it is cheaper, some more like the variety of selections. All want is to have fun. With the PS2, the game console valued at first, the fun you get is the best argument for the reviews that say the PlayStation2 is the best library of games.

When buying a PS2, most people ignore the multitasking ability of the device. In addition to the game Playstaion2 can give you the flexibility of a home theater. He has a cable composed of a / v which is used to connect the console TV. When installed on a home theater it demonstrates a high quality sound and picture quality. And as addition, your PlayStation2 can be used as a DVD Player. So there is no doubt about the incredible popularity of the game console. Whereas the PS2 has made millions of children to live with the fantasy world, the versatility of the system is what made him to be suitable for everyone.

If you are interested in bringing home a Playsation2, you can buy in a store or buy it online. But it is always important to note some things that are very essential and should be taken into account before making an investment in a Plystaion2, because selecting the game console correctly can be somewhat confusing. Assess the age group that the player belongs. But the main focus should be on graphics capabilities, physics and game play mode. However, only Sony has dominated the market today with your PlayStation2. With the new project version of the PS2, you can have an optional internal modem adapter and a broadband connection that allows Internet gambling.

You can not find any other console game as fun as the PS2. So, the PlayStation2 that you are buying needs to have the largest amount of gaming software. Now, Sony has created its reputation by providing larger units to the market. Remembering that you can choose a PS2 that can serve as a DVD player.

When you consider the purchase a PS2 game cheats. Each has a PS2 game cheat original depends on the type of game. It is important because it allows the player to optimize the time and level of play. This way you can prolong the life of the character you ‘re playing or you can finish the desired level in a given time without major difficulties. Whatever the video game system you ‘re buying check the list of available games. You can get games that are a variety of platforms. But do not make any sense if the console you choose not to serve to play the game of your choice.

So if you are reading this, by now you’ve realised that buying games from the store is basically for chumps. The new Wii games download services let us download as many games as we want for less than the price of a single game. But now that downloading our games legally and cheaply is becoming more and more popular, shiny new sites and services are popping up everywhere! How do you pick and choose which download services is right for you?

So there’s a quite a few sites out there now that allow you to download Wii games. These sites can save you oodles of money by downloading games for cheap rather than going out and buying the physical game from the store.

Now that there is a couple of different services on the net for downloading Wii games, the question you need to ask is, how to I figure out which site to sign up with? Some sites are definitely better than others in terms of range of Wii games to download, technical support and price. You also need to be very careful, as some of the sites are scams, or are highly illegal and can land you in serious hot water.

The most important thing to consider is of course, do they have the games I want? Don’t sign up with a service that offers only a few games and promises ‘more titles coming soon’. Established services already have hundreds of games available, with the latest releases coming out on time and often before they are out in the shops. Don’t save a few bucks by signing up to a service that doesn’t have the range you want, the smaller sites often take ages to allow access to download the latest Wii games and often don’t feature other necessities such as technical support.

Another thing to consider is: Does this service provide other media? The Wii is an incredibly versatile piece of equipment, and can play videos, movies, TV shows, music and photos in a wide range of formats. Make sure the service you sign up with offers more than just games, so you can get the most out of your Wii.

Technical support should also be considered. While most of the larger sites are very user friendly, when you are downloading Wii games from the internet, transferring files from a PC to your Wii, or burning Wii games to a disc, sometimes problems crop up. This makes getting good technical support very important. Sign up with a service that has not only 24 contact support via email, but also tutorials, step-by-step guides and FAQs.

Legality should also be considered. Is the site legal, or is it a fly-by-night operation that might not be around much longer once Nintendo’s lawyers discover it? Don’t lay your cash down on a dodgy site that won’t be there the next time you want to get a game because the owners have been busted for copyright infringement. Look for a site that is legal, and has a TOS, FAQs and privacy statements available on their site.

Of all the sites I’ve checked out, the winner is still the original Wii games download site on the net, Wii Media Downloads. While some of the other services are getting better and better all the time (WiiGamesDownloader is one that seems to be much improved), Wii Media Downloads still has the edge with superior technical support and range of titles and media.

If you are reading now you are playing one of the most popular Facebook games in the world. You have to advance, build your mob, gain recognition and aim to be the best mob in the world. To do so cannot always be easy, but where ever there is a game, there is always a cheat so that you have that little advance on other people playing the game. Read on for strategies and Facebook mafia wars cheats.

Rather than being a cheat as such I like to think of it as a way of helping you along and giving you information. One such piece of genuine information I would like to share with you is the fact you must make your mob bigger so that you can advance in mob wars and there are a few ways you can do this.

The first is that as well as asking your friends to join you can also join up with other mobs to grow yours, you are allowed to be a member of more than one mob as is everyone else, so use this to your advantage, and use the add me, which you will find on a lot of the Facebook pages.

Another little tip is that when you sign into mafia wars type into the search box ‘mafia wars’ and look on the pages that are dedicated to it, you will find that people who have been added as friends have done so to grow their mobs also so even if the amount of people you have added on your own friendship page has been exhausted by you begging your mates to join you the pages dedicated t other mafia wars are full of people just like you.

Try and concentrate on one task at a time, so you will either be more into getting property or completing jobs. Make sure that you have given each of your members a weapon so that your mob will have higher defense levels therefore will grow in popularity as well as strength.

A lot of people have their favorite game in the role playing genre, and there are many to choose from, some note worthy games are the Baldur’s Gate Series, Final Fantasy Series and recently World of Warcraft. However none can provide the same replay value and enjoyment as Diablo 2. While some have their good points, however not all have enough to match the diversity of Diablo 2.

Diablo 2 was Blizzards second attempt into the RPG genre and it jumped leaps and bounds over its predecessor. Introducing 5 playable classes which all could be played in various ways depending on how you put the points into their skills system. This meant you could have several different versions of one class such as a Whirlwind Barbarian or a Frenzy Barbarian. This allowed the replay ability to go to almost unlimited numbers.

Later the Expansion set was released adding 2 new character classes as well as more items and a whole new Act to explore with a new boss character to defeat.

Almost 8 years since its release and I am still finding that I have not tried some classes and some of my existing characters have not been made to level 99. No other game would I come back to every month to have another quick group hunt or go loot collecting or make boss runs to see what items I could get.

With sudden news of Blizzards work on the third installment of Diablo (Diablo 3), I found myself calling up my brother to get online for some more Diablo 2 action just to clench our thirst.

Some of the aspects that make Diablo 2 the best out of all the rest include:

1. The classic story of good vs. evil and you are thrown in the middle to aid in the side if the light. Even though you are portrayed as the hero, the people in the game worry for your safety giving you a sense of how dangerous the tasks ahead are going to be.

2. The epic score, using sounds and music more heard of in large movie blockbusters, the music gets you into the mood. The voice acting of the characters provides great depth and connection with your computer counterpart. Diablo’s voice as he appears utters: “Not even death can save you from me” sent a chilling feel down my spine as he moved towards me with demonic speed and kills me almost instantly the first time I met him.

3. Memorable characters and bosses such the Arch Angel Tyrial and the wise Decard Cain give familiarity as they guide you through sanctuary (the name given to the earth realm in the Diablo universe) to the very end of the game.

4. The random generated maps never give you the same experience twice no matter how many times you play, with entrances and exits different every time it always feels like you are playing that map again for the first time adding huge replay value.

5. Loot loot and more loot. Not enough? Reload another game for more loot. The addiction can become overwhelming sometimes but in a good way, im always looking to improve my characters gear.

6. Weapons and items come in magic, unique, set and socketed form. Magic items are given stats randomly on dropping and therefore will very rarely have the same stats creating a lot of variety in item stats and hence character uniqueness.

7. Ability to gamble all your cash from loots to get good items. Some people spend all their time just looting for cash to gamble, a mini game in its self.

8. Game play, the game is of hack n slash nature and therefore provides a more interactive feel compared to turn based RPG’s that almost feel like you are watching the game play out instead of getting directly involved. There is nothing like the sound of demons screaming and dropping to the floor as you smash your way thorough a swarming hoard.

9. Artwork and animation, the whole look and feel of Diablo 2 is amazing and gives you the sense of a world being taken over by darkness, the blood splattered dungeons and detailed monsters that explode and splatter across the floor on death all add to a truly satisfying game.

The list of goodies is endless, other features to checkout are the online battle.net system which is totally free to play on, secret cow levels, rune word recipes for item stats etc.

I recommend anyone that has never tried Diablo 2 to give it a go and see what they’ve been missing all these years, checkout http://www.opticplay.com/diablo2 for more info.
