You’re a newbie and you just picked up a nice sword that you are excited about. You get to talking to some other players and brag about your new found weapon. One of the players tells you he can make your sword even more powerful by putting some enhancements on it for you. You’re an honest person, you believe others are as honest as you are, you’ve never heard of World of Warcraft cheats or con games, so you hand over your prize sword. Say goodbye to your sword forever as your new friend takes off with it. If you are laughing then you were one of the lucky ones who escaped this worst kind of World of Warcraft cheat.

There is a guide put out by the south central Iowa tourism board that actually lists the places where there are game clubs and there are many of them around. Apparently there are clubs where everyone brings their own computers and they hook them all together in one network to play online games. Usually the separate into different groups and the groups play against each other. One that I saw had four five man teams and they were running around (in the game) and destroying each other. The rules don’t allow for any kind of an invincible mode, so anyone can kill anyone. Usually after you are killed you have a certain amount of time and then you are resurrected. Of course you are in the same place where you died and your group has moved on so the number one priority is to find your group and develop any intelligence along the way to help. There is radio communication so you can call your buddies to help you find your way or to deliver the information that you have developed. If the airwaves are dead you are in trouble as that means everyone in your squad is dead, at that point there is no resurrection, you lost.

I do a lot of southern Illinois travel and really enjoy playing travel games along the way. There is the ever popular game of “I Spy with my Eye” and of course there is travel bingo, although that one is almost impossible for the driver to play. I also like to see how many different counties I can find on different license plates and even how many different states there are. Speaking of license plates, have you ever tried to decode some of those personalized plates only to find that you couldn’t and then you never get the chance to find out what they really mean to say? Another game is the alphabet game where you try and spot something that starts with an A and then a B and then a C and so on. I guess my love of car games actually started at a young age. My folks used to take us on vacation a lot and back in those days the car was the only way to get there. Gas prices were low and only the “affluent”  could afford air line tickets. Most of the time traveling by car can be quicker than airlines anyway. I once drove from Des Moines, Iowa to Bolder, Colorado in less time that it a friend of mine to fly there. With the layovers and the delays and the storms, just plunking along the highway beat the airplane there by two hours.

I need to find someone to show a new game to. A friend of mine took Wisconsin Travel Guide and developed a card game where you travel the state. Unlike Monopoly where you get the most money you can, in this game you get the most fun you can. You take a virtual vacation in Wisconsin and stop at as many tourist traps as possible. Some of the traps have an amazing amount of fun, but then there are the ones where everyone has a bad time and you actually end up loosing points. Having excellent food adds a small number of points but overeating actually reduces the number of points that you get. A well seasoned traveler knows when to stop. Of course there are a number of bad restaurants that will make everyone sick, the seasoned traveler knows what to look for and backs away from these without ordering.

The entertainment is also a big point getter. But you have to beware, entertainment costs money, less money makes you less happy so you have less fun. You need to estimate how much fun you are going to have for the price you pay.It is truly a joy to play and you do learn about vacationing in Wisconsin!

This is an article about a great new game - Fruit Frenzy! 

If you like matching games, Fruit Frenzy is a terrific place to test your skills. The game is very challenging and you’ll be required to move certain pieces from the board before you can move on to the next level. This sounds easy, but add in a timer and you’ve got the recipe for fun.

In order to move the ice cubes off of the board, you’ll need to match up at least three pieces of fruit in a row. They can be matched in rows or in columns. You’ll have to move the fruit strategically to get rid of as many ice cubes as you can. While you are doing this, the timer keeps ticking and it gets harder and harder to find your matches.

Gaming is fun. And Income tax gaming deductions can make a huge difference in your income tax obligations. However, many deductions can easily be missed if you don’t plan ahead and look out for your own tax interests long before tax season. Too often, people turn to the standard deduction when in fact, they have many expenses that are valid deductions that should be itemized and can save them hundreds or more in tax dollars. A few tax saving deductions will not require that you fill out the long 1040 form to fully itemize, making it even easier to save on your tax burden.
