My mod review: Run the lucky 38

 If you play Fallout new vegas long enough you will be eventually dissapointed by having the fact that you have so much caps in your inventory and you don't even know where you could spend them all.

Thankfully, the modder PaladinRider took it upon himself to change a big aspect of the game. The questionably empty lucky 38 casino can now be modded to work again. And you, the courier, are the owner and manager

 After playing the mod in extensive detail I am glad to say that this mod is one of the most detailed and good implemented mods out there.

Now let me give a list of pros and cons you might want to know about before installing the mod





Pros: 
1. Very immersive, in fact, this mod is more immersive then the actual vanilla gameplay of lucky 38.
Let me give you a quick history lesson. Mr. House, the dad of the strip used guns to shoot the falling nuclear bombs to protect his strip from the damage. And you want to actually tell me after all his effort he doesn't bother to keep his casino running?? 3 other casinos are working fine! Why not this?
The developers just got lazy, but this mod fix this. This was number one


 2. Hire workers to keep your casino going.
Blackjack, roulette, slots can be played by you- the owner and guests are simulated by npc's

3. Quests! 4-5 lengthy quests that give you that feeling that you actually earn the casino

4. New locations outside of the casino itself

 




 5. A BIG amount of new rooms in the casino. The elevator isn't just your typical portal to your suite. You've got a bank, a kitchen, a hotel, a pool a rooftop a botanics garden armory and much much more!

6. You buy what you want. The rooms mentioned above are not given to you instantly. You buy them to be built. And the services they offer determine how much cash you make. If you make the wrong moves you fall into minus which means you must build something else to increase the income again.

7. The new services cost a LOT to buy. If you had caps that started catching dust a long time ago will now be used for improvements. One armory cost me up to 80k caps!

8. Npc's have dialogue. The visitors express their feeling towards the casino. I wonder how Paladinrider did that.

9. Compatible with open strip. It would make no sense if you had to remove open strip for this mod. Thankfully, you don't.

10. This mod gives you many hours of gameplay. Even if you are a millionaire the quests themselves give you a lot of challenges. You won't be able to see all this mod has to offer in one day, trust me. If you are playing on the hardest difficulty and you don't even have a lot of caps, then this mod will feel like the main quest in a way.

11. The casino undergoes changes as you buy new services. The new rooms are enterable, nothing is hidden from your eye.

12. A lot of storage space for your guns, money and armor

13. Adds several vendors, some of them need to be restocked.

14. After investing thousands of caps, the casino will repay you in profit. At the end you will get a steady income which is fantastic for many roleplayers.

15. New clothes, beverages, and I think 1 gun.



Cons:

1. The npc's aren't voiced, but let's be real- the modder wasn't funded to do this. It's silly to expect something like that from modders, especially since there are so many new npc's added in this mod.

2. The main lobby takes a toll on your computer. If it isn't powerful, you will feel a drop of framerate. This however is to be expected with any big mod.

3. Some rooms seem empty. This applies only to the rooms you are not expected to enter, the main services are still great.




And this is really all about it. The mod is great, you would think that the modder was a part of the original developer crew because this mod runs flawless even by all this new content. I can't imagine how much work was put into this, but I am sure that this mod is for everyone who was baffled by the lucky 38 casino being empty and dissapointed by not being able to spend all the collected caps.

I give this a 10/10, there is no doubt about that.

Steam summer sale- free steam cash grab! It's over! Let's overview what happened

June 19-30 was the famous time for the pc game market sellout!

And there were a lot of ways to make money!

Requirements:

Steam client, level 8

(Extra requirements)

At least 1 game that supports steam trading cards
Time

These cards you see are valuable, and I mean REAL valuable,

30 euro cents a cards at the moment
14 cents
10 cents
The market changed fast!

 

The main point of this sale was the
team battle. 5 teams. The members of the teams were able to get free games.

People who contributed by crafting game badges or voting got cards that were quite valuable at times.

Selling cards was a fantastic way to make money for more games.

This was also the perfect time to craft game badges as you got some money for the expenses.

This was the perfect time to craft badges and increase your steam level!
Remember- bigger steam level- more chance to get booster packs!

 The price were fluctuating. Understandable, since cards were given out by voting and many sold their cards off at low prices.

The golden list of things to remember for the next sale, which is the winter sale 2014
1. Just by joining a team you get a steam level

 2. If cards will be given out like this time the prices are bound to crash
3. Buying low and selling high made many users very rich!
4. Don't craft summer adventure badges except if the cards are worth less then you can handle
5. Hoping for a free game giveaway is madness. You are more likely to get a game by selling the cards
6. The team battle was manipulated by members of the gaming community. Only at the end of the summer sale, the balance was restored by allowing the first 3 victor teams free games (60 players a day overall)
7. Wait for the flash sales. Be always patient for a good price.
8. If you have friends who aren't interested in this summer sale. Ask them for the cards or work together.

This is the overview of my first steam sale. Honestly, the competition was fun and exciting and I recommend participating if you are a member of steam.
Thank you for your time, I will keep you updated the next steam sale!

My first strange tf2 weapon

3 items for spiral knight crowns:

A strange gun used by sniper and my first official strange gun!

1 Ref metal and a reclaimed metal adding up to 4 refs at the moment


0,92 Euro

One week effort.


 1 week spiral knights is almost 1 month tf2 playtime

Whole set of changes

 Hellooo dearest viewers

First of all, I want to inform you all that I ACED the finals and now am officially on vacation!

Hurray
for me!

This means a lot of freedom and time to focus on something I like best: making movies, writing guides and playing games.

I got a whole, big set of ideas that I am going to work on


I am now working with Sony vegas!

I moved on from the basic avs video editor to this professional tool to ensure higher quality 
content!


I have added many different game videos lately, but I can assure you I am not turning back on the older games like Oblivion, in fact I have 2 videos on my mind right now. It's all about the filming itself that might take a while.

So that's basically it. I hope you have a great summer begin, it's a great time to take upon what you really love.

Yours,

A way to trade game currency safer

Trading online is a very difficult thing to do.
Anonymity allows people to feel secure behind their computers and provides them security against certain actions.
This lack of direct confrontation creates a risk for anyone to trade, sell, buy things on the Internet.

Since I recently talked about the various ways of making money online with video games I would like to elaborate on a method that could be used in your risky future trade.

I call this the 50/50 method. It is a VERY simple method that could prevent loss of digital currency. This fits best for the exchange of digital currency into real currency

For example.  
Let's pretend we want to trade with a person online whom you don't really know. The person offered 60 dollars for 150 million runescape coins
 
The price has been taken by a runescape gold trading website:
http://www.playerauctions.com/runescape-gold/

For online trades it's natural to use the PayPal system.
Now the thing is...you don't want to hassle your way through a trading website and you want the deal to be made direct.

He has the cash, you have the gold.
What do you do?
Risk sending the gold and not getting the payment?

Unfortunately most people do this.

I suggest you using this elementary trade principle that is being used by people who exchange big money for services

You convince your partner to send only the half of the money and you too send the half of your gold. After you confirmed the first stage, repeat

Now, why would this be safer then the regular method?
1. You get to see if your partner even has the money
2. You can analyze his reaction
3.  If the partner runs off, you will lost only a half of your gold. You could go as far as parting the deal in four quarters or three 0,33's

 Naturally, there are a lot of websites now that protect players from losing items over trades, but still, I think this information should be saved just in case.

Thank you for your time and good trade to all of you!
