* How to Master the Knife In Resident Evil (WikiHow) – This guide gives you some tips on how to master the weakest weapon in the game… A very, very difficult feat!
* TwitchTV – TwitchTV is a video streaming and upload website that is like youtube but exclusively focused on videogames. It is a haven for posting your own Let’s Play videos, and also covers major events and videogame competitions and eSports broadcasts. It was started by Justin.tv and has grown to over 12 million viewers a month!
* ViewtifulRoxas Backloggery – Check out my friend Viewtiful Roxas’ Backloggery profile and all of the game’s (mostly RPGs) she is playing currently!

* My entire Steam Collection of Videogames Via Steam – Explore all of the Steam games I own…. and marvel at how few of them I’ve played or installed! :O
* German Court Bans Male Circumcision – The cutting of the male penis foreskin has been outlawed in Germany, even if it is for religious reasons or health reasons, due to the shortterm painful injury inflicted on the infant when the male skin of the penis is cut. Hmmm.
* New Study On the Downsides of Teens, Tweens and Kids Using the Internet and Social Media – Despite the subject, the results were actually positive. As more kids prefer to talk to their friends in person than online or via text or other platforms. “According to the report, teens’ favorite way to communicate with their friends is by talking in person (49%), with texting next (33%) and social media a distant third (7%). Teens who prefer talking face-to-face say it’s because it’s more fun (38%), and they can better understand what people mean (29%). The telephone, a mainstay of teenage life just a generation ago, is virtually dead: Only 4% of teens prefer to talk on the phone.”
* How To Record Videogame Footage With Audio From Computer Using Speakers and Microphone – I found this link and used the information in it to help me set up a program to record what I was playing on my computer. This helped me in figuring out how to configure audio settings.
* Why Can’t I Record Steam Gameplay On My Computer Screen Using CamStudio – I was having programs with a free videogame recording software
called CamStudio which wouldn’t record the game I was playing using Valve’s Steam platform on my PC.
* Record Videogame Playing On PC Screen Using Free Program Bandicam – The huge drawback is that the free version only lets you record for a limit of ten minutes, which REALLY sucks and is not a long enough time to get much done in the game. However you can use a program like Windows Movie Maker to string several installments together into one video.
