Web Hosting For Your Business
Web hosts give you a pair of alternatives – you can be on a dedicated server or a shared server. In the latter case, it is a web hosting situation in which multiple firms occupy the room available on the server and no single enterprise maintains absolute control over the server’s assets. On the other hand, in the former case, a single firm possesses the control all by itself. That is also referred to as being on a “private” server, meaning that it only hosts an individual company.

Gaming for a Living!
It’s a peaceful Sunday afternoon at the B&B Game Shop in Eureka. John Bass and Todd Hughes are all set to dominate the world-the ‘virtual world’. Perched on comfortable black sofas, their head gears on and holding the Xbox Live game controllers, the two are raring to have a go at the pick of the day-Halo 3. Their internet opponents are ready to battle it out.
This is their dream job. One they see for themselves in a perfect world. Their dream is not one of its kind. Many have dreamt of doing this as a career option. Seems crazy does it? Its not. The dream is hard but not impossible to achieve.
You will be surprised to know that there are hundreds of gamers in this world who play to earn their wages. Earning salaries, prize money and competing in tournaments and leagues, these people enjoy full support of sponsors and numerous endorsement contracts.
The people at e-sports boosters say that this is just the tip of the iceberg. The Championship Gaming Series is all set for the second season with six US teams fighting for a place in the world championship league in July. Joining the digital warfare would be top teams from the world over.
Like any other sport, there is an annual draft for this league as well. The player’s salary ranges from $15000 to $25000 annually. Not to mention the money coming in from endorsements and winnings. For example, the Chicago Chimera’s-last year’s winning team won $500,000.And once you earn yourself a name as a gamer, you can even earn up to $250,000 a year. Not a small amount for doing something you love to do anyway!
Geared up for Gaming?
The latest buzz in the virtual world a.k.a the world of video gaming is that “The Last Remnant” will be launched on the Xbox 360 first. The Xbox, Microsofts gaming system would see the RPG this winter before the PS3 version of “The Last Remnant” hits the gaming world as announced by Square Enix at a press conference.
Also aiming to cash in on the craze for role-playing games in Japan, Square Enix and Microsoft have announced a new endeavor called ‘Star Ocean: The Last Hope’. The game has a science fiction feel to it with humanity leading the way to a new universe after destroying planet Earth. Nothing surprising about that. Although slated for the Xbox 360 as of now, it seems common sense that a PS3 version should follow. Point to be noted-the game bears an uncanny resemblance to PS3’s ‘Star Ocean IV’; so much for originality!
The Perils of In-Game Advertising
The video game industry is faced with a grave threat. No, it is not piracy. The new threat to the gaming industry is in-game advertising. In-game advertising is the by product of rising game development costs. These costs have led to the search for alternate revenue. In this search, in-game advertising seems to be the answer.
Sony says dynamic in-game advertising is to be soon introduced in it’s titles. The in-game advertising revenue is touted to grow 1,150 percent in 5 years (between 2006 and 2011). It seems that the future will see every video game title incorporating advertising in it. This is not a good idea from the gamers POV but video game companies think it is a good idea. Continue reading
