The Virtual Drug

Anyone who has ever tried an online game, especially RPGs knows the feeling:
"The other guys are stronger than me...i must level up!! i must play more!".

Are these games "virtual drugs"?

Possible.. And like real drugs, World of Warcraft can also lead to broken families: http://us.i1.yimg.com/videogames.yahoo.com/feature/wedding-woes-the-dark-side-of-warcraft/1186366

Free to Play : Sudoku! Many Levels and Difficulties.

This is quite a craze these days, so i've added this little widget on the top right of this blog for sudoku lovers!

How to Play Sudoku?

Sudoku is basically a game of using logic and deduction to place numbers in squares. It is not about calculations or maths.. Easy to learn, yet challenging, it can be played by anyone.

Sudoku Objective

You must fill all the blank squares in a game with the correct numbers.

Rules:

The puzzle is 9 by 9..that is, 9 columns and 9 rows.
Every row of 9 numbers must include all digits 1 through 9 in any order .
Every column of 9 numbers must include all digits 1 through 9 in any order .

These imply that the columns and rows cannot have the same number twice!

Every 3 by 3 subsection of the 9 by 9 puzzle must include all digits 1 through 9 .

The principles are the same whatever the size of the game (4x4, 9x9, 16x16 etc).

Each Sudoku puzzle begins with some squares already filled in. Thus, the difficulty is based on how many squares are already filled. More squares filled means easier to place remaining numbers while less squares filled means its harder and you have to think more!!

As you fill in squares properly, it becomes easier and easier to know the remaining numbers.

You can choose difficulty levels, change puzzle, restart your game, check your results, show solution and more!

Enjoy :)

Naruto

These last few months, I've become a big fan of Anime.. Im up to date with Bleach and I've just started with Naruto, which seems very popular..

Let's see... its got action, distinct and well developed characters, and the right dose of humour..seems about same as Bleach..and that's a good thing :)

I've reached where Haku is killed while protecting Zabuza, who dies a few moments later!

Will watch some more episodes and then give a better review for Naruto :)

Supposed to be a "paradise island", Mauritius has an area of about 2,040 km². It is found in the Indian Ocean, east of Madagascar.

The Republic of Mauritius includes other (smaller) islands like Rodrigues, Agalega, St Brandon etc.



The Dodo, now extinct, was a unique bird, found only in Mauritius.
