I would like to present you with a list of ten warning signs that you are addicted to blogging. Do any of the warning signs apply to you?

10. You call tech support to find out how to activate your Glade Plug-in.

9. Your friends tell you that you need to stop blogging so much and that you need to socialize more. You take your laptop to Starbucks and log-on to Digg, StumbleUpon, MyBlogLog, Reddit for the evening.

8. You ask the new car salesman if the car is Widget ready.

7. You look for Category buttons on the right side of an ATM.

6. You drive all over town looking for a Dry Cleaner that will wash and WordPress your garments.

5. Your Boss, whom you dislike, tells you that you did an outstanding job on the last assignment and that he is going to put you in for a raise. You reply by saying Can I Blockquote you on that?

4. You include your Blogroll in your resume.

3. You have requested that all companies who automatically withdraw funds from your online bank account send your receipts to the Comment section of your blog.

2. You do not let your kids play with other kids from the shady side of town because you’re afraid Google may penalize you for having links to bad neighborhoods.

1. When your child was born, you hurried to log-on to your Technorati account to claim it.

I was wondering today how many people actually still use a joystick to play computer games. I know of the fact that most people either use consoles to play games, or simply play games on their PC by using a keyboard and a mouse. Of course, a joystick can be connected to PC as well. Actually, I do not remember using one in my life. I was always using a mouse and a keyboard, and I am used to such controls. Anyway, there are still many joysticks available. Some of them only cost $9.99. Joysticks are great for playing arcade and driving games. However, since this is not my favorite type of games, I do not plan on purchasing this stick in the nearest future.

In one of my recent posts I mentioned that many blogs fail because the author of the blog is not passionate about the subject he is writing about. When I say that they fail, I mean that a blog becomes abandoned and the author is not publishing any new posts. Such a blog will not receive a lot of traffic because the readers will know that there is a very low chance that a new post will be published.

Interestingly, most new blogs are getting abandoned quite fast after their creation. The reason for this is that the blog writers lack passion for the topic they are discussing. One of the reasons for this is that they choose a niche they hoped would be very popular, but they were not really interested in the topic, or they simply changed their interests. Choosing a popular blog topic such as entertainment or celebrity gossip means that there are many potential visitors. However, since there are already many blogs on the subject, it is clear that you are going to have a lot of competition. Ultimately, it is hard to predict how many visitors you will have, so the most important thing is to be passionate about the subject you are writing. This way your blog will be successful, no matter how many competitors there are going to be.
Are you passionate about your blog? This is a question you may want to ask yourself. If you are truly passionate, I am sure that you will be a successful blogger, simply because you are going to enjoy blogging.

The American economy is in stagnation, but you do not see that if you look at the video game industry. It has been estimated that sales of video game hardware grew around 20% from last year. This shows that sales of video games are not really dependent on other economic indicators. I believe that this is because games provide entertainment, and entertainment is one of the basic needs people have. For example, going to Disneyland for a few days and spending a few hundred dollars might sound fun to many people, but it is not as effective as spending a few hundred dollars on video games. That is because you could play video games for the whole year. I also believe that video games are slowly replacing TV shows, and that is a good thing in my opinion. Games require a lot more interaction and concentration compared to TV shows, which means that our brains are much more active when we play games. Games are going to continue to gain popularity, simply because they are quite inexpensive compared to other forms on entertainment. Games are also more and more entertaining each years, due to the progress in technology.

Within the last few years, there were a lot of computer games released that were based on movies. Titles like Lord of the Rings Online or Star Wars Galaxies are an example of that. Developers know that monetizing the popularity of specific movies can be a great idea and it often works. That is because even if the game would not get rated very well, there will still be fans who will want to play it as playing a game offers a new dimension compared to watching movies. It is also interesting that there are some movies based on games. An example of that would be Resident Evil, which was a very popular game, and eventually arrived on the big screen. There is also a Warcraft movie in production, which is going to be based on the Warcraft universe. Another popular movie was Mortal Kombat, which was based on the popular fighting game. Nonetheless, there are still a lot more games being released that are based on movies, rather than movies based on games. This might be due to the fact that games are more versatile so it is easier to make a game based on a movie. Games based on movies can be strategies, fighting games, or role-playing games.
