I did start to play the game when I got into facebook games earlier this year, but found Cityville, CitiZen and Mafia II took up most of my time so didn't play Frontierville much. I found I was spending far too much time playing these games so stopped signig into my facebook account around April just to avoid them. they were just too addictive, lol. The following browser game may appeal to those who like beat em up games. it's called MMMA Pro fighter. you can find it <a href="http://msn.mmaprofighter.com/">HERE</a> Also check out Millionaire City which you can find <a href="http://msn.millionairecity.com/">HERE</a> and Zombie Lane <a href="http://msn.zombielane.com/uk/social-games.htm">HERE</a>. I played Zombie Lane via facebook for a while. not a bad game if you persevere. All three games are distributed by Digital Chocolate, who recently bought up Sandlot Games.

However, over the past month it's evolved into a larger game with ten bosses, three modes, 12 attainable trophies, and other goodies. The gameplay is relatively simple. You use the WASD keys to move the player ship, while aiming with the mouse. Shooting is automatic, so you don't need to worry about finger cramps. All you need to worry about is dodging the barrage of bullets, not crashing into the enemies, and blowing up said enemies. <center><img src="http://www.picdepict.com/images/19646740699242094328.png"></center> Features: • Three gameplay modes (basically the same, but with greater challenge. • 12 trophies • Customizable HUD/Ship colour • Online statistics • Online high scores • 10 bosses • Music by Ashley Gwinnell • GameJolt API (created by UnknownGamer) Controls: WASD - Move the player Right Click - Bomb Mouse - Aim Escape - Quit/Pause Menu <center><img src="http://www.picdepict.com/images/84164521180092375887.png"></center> Download: You can download Pheon <a href="http://games.softpedia.com/get/Freeware-Games/Pheon.shtml">HERE</a> or [url=http://sandbox.yoyogames.com/games/145564-pheon] Whiterabbit-uk on "Week 158 - Good Games to Grab - Theseus and the Maze (labyrinth platformer)" http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/10480#post-95400 Fri, 23 Sep 2011 11:52:48 +0000 Whiterabbit-uk 95400@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ On the theme of Theseus check <a href="http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4073#post-43686"> THIS</a> out.

It has both the charm and difficulty of older games. Theseus and the Maze is a labyrinth platformer. The goal of the game is to find exit from the maze. Final score is calculated upon the time needed to reach it and gems found (there are 100 in total). As the game progresses you'll "learn" new abilities like double jump for example that will let you reach higher places. There are also save points along the way and friendly creatures who will give you hints. "X" key activates map. <center><img src="http://www.picdepict.com/images/07271316559608878304.jpg"></center> <center><img src="http://www.picdepict.com/images/84066078273435465711.jpg"></center> <center><img src="http://www.picdepict.com/images/93331674085764263933.jpg"></center> Download: You can download Theseus and the Maze <a href=" <a href="http://games.softpedia.com/get/Freeware-Games/Theseus-and-the-maze.shtml" rel="nofollow">http://games.softpedia.com/get/Freeware-Games/Theseus-and-the-maze.shtml</a>">HERE</a> goodgotd on "GreenShot screen capture software" http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/10456#post-95397 Fri, 23 Sep 2011 08:43:47 +0000 goodgotd 95397@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ Buzz, PicPick for some reason, won't capture a scrolling window right on this laptop, which means I'll keep using faststone capture last freeware version as I need to do this every day- but when I can try them wome other functions sound really cool. mikiem2, depending on your preference in cards & the rubber rubber ruler you use, last I looked the memory itself is the bottleneck, not the interface. the 'class' number of an sd card is supposed to give the minimum transfer per second [usually, but not always, when the card is near full] in megabytes- for a large file IIRC. I haven't seen higher than class 10 and own no higher than 6. most of mine are class 2, including the microSD's. I use class 4 in my camera, and the interface under the best conditions tests out with CHDK [and a 2 gig sandiisk Ultra II] at 7.5 mb/s. 2 gig sandiisk Ultra II's are rated at '15 mb/s max'- and class 4. SATA speeds? I'm not holding my breath. usb sticks now usually have a class number, too. mikiem2 on "GreenShot screen capture software" http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/10456#post-95337 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 00:16:28 +0000 mikiem2 95337@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ One potential advantage I'm watching for, goodgotd, is USB 3 card readers, internal or external. Every time I've seen a USB 3 memory stick for a reasonable price, reviews complained it was USB 2 speed. Articles I've read on USB 3 card readers talk about them being much faster than USB 2 -- whether they are or will be I don't know. I have come across mostly older SATA products & reviews using MMC cards -- they were faster than hard drives, & SD cards are rated faster than MMC on Wikipedia, so there's some potential there I think. I've got a USB 3 card still in the box waiting to find out. :-) <blockquote>I really like this one: <a href="http://www.picpick.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.picpick.org/</a></blockquote> I do too. I used it on several projects, but then I just started gravitating to the portableapps.com format & launcher because of all the apps they have on their site in that format. I use several of their apps on my hard drive, like GIMP, which for whatever reason never ran properly for me if installed normally.

I can't speak to other formats, but since a lot of devices use SDxx, they have the economies of scale driving down the cost. perhaps the first thing to address is breaking away from thinking only of USB interface adapters [I realize it's easy to fall into that mindset when the common device being 'substituted' for is very predominantly USB- how many thumb drives are anything else?] as a requirement. many computers these days come standard with quite capable 'readers' built right in, [none of mine, but..] and the bare memory card inserted in one turns into a removable drive that acts just like a thumb drive without needing an open USB port. if all the systems you use portable apps on have card slots, no additional hardware needs to be used, right? if not then USB makes sense- where needed. just a thought. then there's the cost/size/speed trade-offs between full size and micro formats and the interface devices that are available. a survey of eBay or your source-of-choice will probably show that for a given cost, you can get faster/higher capacity cards in the full size format over micro- which still aren't that large... and a bit easier to handle and keep track of. they also have easier to read labels *and have a write-protect tab*, which could save some hassle if you are working with a possibly infected system. [if someone knows how to write-protect a transflash/microSD card short of a full size adapter, lemme know, huh?] aside from the readers meant to fill a 3.5" drive bay even the works-with-every-format multicard readers are considerably smaller than any 2.5" external drive. a short USB 2 extension cable can make even fat, space-hogging standard SDHC readers like eBay item number 260751118361 plug into a crowded bank of USB ports. [personal experience- I got 3 of these boat anchors free with SDHC cards, and to get it to fit into a stacked USB port next to other USB devices takes prying off the plastic case- and if there's another stack of ports next to it, the one on the same level better be empty!] don't get me wrong- a tiny reader and card are much smaller and easier to pack around- but that can make them a bit hard to get in and out depending on port placement, and for best speed and reliability of recognition using the front ports on a desktop is sometimes [ok, rarely] iffy. I'm not sure yet how the SDXC pricing is going to work out, but I suspect they will still be less costly and/or faster in the standard size at first. I hope some of this will help in terms of finding what choices are available- and fits your needs.

It may be that this freebie is better than my old copy of Capture Wiz. (I hope so). Thanks mikiem. b.t.w. off the point of this post, but thinking about the post you made in the tech forum (I didn't want to clutter that thread with such thoughts): I agree with you on the portable issue. I don't see why most programs can't be run from a USB pen drive these days bearing in mind the sizes you can get now. I recently purchased a 16GB pen drive from my local store for less than £20. I paid the same for a 128Mb pen drive six or seven years ago and I'm sure you can get 64GB pen drives which would hold a lot of programs, all of which would save cluttering up your computer, or better still using a dedicated external drive. hotdoge3 on "Comodo Cleaning Essentials 1.8.207117.137" http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/10457#post-95277 Tue, 20 Sep 2011 10:02:12 +0000 hotdoge3 95277@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ Thanks looks better than Comodo Cloud Scanner I used a few times allso free <a href="http://www.comodo.com/home/internet-security/cloud-scanner.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.comodo.com/home/internet-security/cloud-scanner.php</a> hotdoge3 on "Passkey Lite, a free version of Passkey by dvdfab" http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/10464#post-95276 Tue, 20 Sep 2011 09:48:45 +0000 hotdoge3 95276@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <a href="http://www.dvdfab.com/passkey-lite.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.dvdfab.com/passkey-lite.htm</a> Passkey Lite, a free version of Passkey Remove part of DVD/Blu-ray protections Work with other compatible software to access unprotected DVD/Blu-ray content Freely watch any DVD with no region limit only for backing up personal legal disc copies without infringing copyright. <a href="http://www.softpedia.com/reviews/windows/DVDFab-Passkey-Review-165925.shtml" rel="nofollow">http://www.softpedia.com/reviews/windows/DVDFab-Passkey-Review-165925.shtml</a> <a href="http://club.myce.com/f116/dvdfab-passkey-8-0-3-8-september-15-2011-a-323668/" rel="nofollow">http://club.myce.com/f116/dvdfab-passkey-8-0-3-8-september-15-2011-a-323668/</a> mikiem2 on "Comodo Cleaning Essentials 1.8.207117.137" http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/10457#post-95262 Mon, 19 Sep 2011 22:56:45 +0000 mikiem2 95262@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ Anti alware software, Comodo Cleaning Essentials 1.8.207117.137 is out -- <a href="http://www.neowin.net/news/comodo-cleaning-essentials-18207117137" rel="nofollow">http://www.neowin.net/news/comodo-cleaning-essentials-18207117137</a> -- <a href="http://www.comodo.com/business-security/network-protection/cleaning_essentials.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.comodo.com/business-security/network-protection/cleaning_essentials.php</a> ...
