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.

Tuxedos and Weddings
Every man would like to wear a tuxedo one day. A good opportunity to wear a tuxedo is his wedding day. While buying a tuxedo might be a one time expense, why not rent a tuxedo? You do not need to wear a tuxedo every time you go to work or visit somebody. This is why tuxedo rental is a good alternative to buying a brand new tuxedo. Buying a new tuxedo can be costly, especially if you want to use it one time only. In case of tuxedo rentals, you do not have to spend as much as you would have to spend on a new tux.

Being Passionate About Your Blog
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.

Video Game Sales Grow
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.

Computer Games Based on Movies
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.
