Angry Birds By Katie B. Angry Birds is a new game that has come out recently. In my opinion, Angry Birds is one of the best games ever. The Angry Birds app was invented by Stuart Douglas and Western hailes. The Angry Birds app was invented in 2009 of December. There are 300 million downloads and growing. According to www.insidemobileapps.com , “The Angry Birds space version is the most downloaded app.� Angry Birds is a very widely known Smartphone and electronic Tablet application.
How to play First, you have to pull back the birds, and make sure your bird is aiming at the target. In some of the levels, there is a blue bird, and if you tap on it there are going to be two more little birds, and sometimes that really helps. The black bird also helps because when it hits the exact spot you want it to it blows up that entire area which also really helps.
Different versions There are many different versions of Angry Birds. One example is angry Birds space. Another version of angry birds is the regular version. Another version is the Beach version. The levels on the Beach version start off really easy, but as you get really far it starts to get very tough. Another version that I like is The Rio Angry Birds Version.

Opera
The Undiscovered Browser By: Brynn C. Did you know that Opera was born in 1994 in Oslo, Norway? Opera was the very first web browser to have multiple tabs in one window. Other web browsers, such as Firefox, Google Chrome, and Safari, started to follow Opera’s lead in the mid-2000’s, and are still trying to catch up to Opera’s many ingenious innovations. What is Opera? You are probably wondering, “Do I mean music opera, or the T.V show host, Oprah?” but that is not the case. Opera is a web browser. Opera was the web browser of the future (in 1994). It has Crash Recovery, which means if your browser crashes, and you want to go back to the sites you were on, you are able to do so. But in Firefox, you would have to go to history, and open them one by one; but Opera automatically saves the last session, so you’ll see the tabs in the same order that they were in before the crash. It is also available for Windows, MacIntosh, Linux, iPhone, iPad, Android phones, Android tablets, and other operating platforms. Opera also has fit to window width. Nobody likes the horizontal scrollbar in a page. In Opera, select "Fit To Window Width" to remove the horizontal scrollbar and shrink the content. Another option, which Opera contains, is Rewind. For example, say that you search for something through Google and you discover a great site. You visit 20 pages within that site and then you want to go back to the search results. You can click “Back” 20 times and try to locate Google in the list next to the back button. Or you can just hit "Rewind" if you use Opera, saving yourself a lot of clicks and confusion. Statistics Statistics show that Opera is the second-to-last used web browser. (The last used web browser is “Other”.) I believe that this is because nowadays, no one knows what Opera even is! I took a survey of some people in my class, and no one except myself knew what Opera was! Other answers were the singing definition, or confusing the word with Oprah Winfrey. In addition, on every graph that started recording browser search from 2012 to 2013, Opera was always in either second-to-last, or the last used browser. Guess who’s in first? It’s a tie between Google Chrome, and Firefox.
How Can I Get Opera On my Computer? First, log on to your computer, click on any web browser, then, in the search box, look up, www.Opera.com, after that, click on Free Download For Windows, and you should be good to go!

NBA 2K13 - MyCareer You Could Be The Future! By: Kyle D. Have you tried NBA 2K13 MyCareer? About 6 months ago NBA 2K13 came out, and as always, they included their MyCareer mode.
Many people loved it. You can create yourself in a video game once again! Roughly 10 years ago MyCareer came out and look at how far it has come. Will you be the next big thing in the NBA?
Shooting Shooting is an easy thing to do, in my opinion. When you’re shooting hold the X button down until your player is to the point of release. About 50% of the time the shot will go in. Make sure to shoot from where you think that you can make the shot. If you’re a Center you probably don’t want to shoot a three because you probably won’t have a very good rating from deep.
Passing Passing is hard because you can’t turnover the ball a lot or else it will affect your teammate grade. To make your pass go to where you want it, then hold down the RB button and then press the button that is over the player’s head. It will make a good pass to that player.
Dribbling Dribbling is the hardest thing to do because you have to know how to do a lot of fancy moves to get around the defender. One move is that you roll the RS around the circle and that will dribble it behind your back or spin you around. When you do that you might be able to shoot because the defender either fell or he just gave up.
Wrap Up In NBA 2K13 the shooting, passing, and dribbling is the best that it’s ever been. NBA 2K13 got a “9 out of 10” according to Gamespot. It’s improved from years in the past. It is important to look at these three aspects of the game because you use them the most. And that’s how you’ll work your way to the top in NBA 2K13 MyCareer!

Mario Kart Let’s Go! Go! Go! By Tiffany D.
You may know some shortcuts, but do you know how to use them? Well I am going to teach you how to find them, and how to use them. Now let’s go find some shortcuts!
Where Are They They are not always where you think. One of the best ways to find shortcuts is to use time trails. • First, go to time trials. • Second, pick a player. • Then pick a trial that you think has a shortcut. • Now, race in the time trial. • Fifth, once you finish 3 laps click A for more options. One of the options will say replay, click on it. • You will watch the race if you didn't find a dirt trail. • Try the race again.
Lets Win! Did you win? When you redo the trial, if it works you win. If the but if the trail you will need a mushroom. Now try it again, when you try again you should win.

In Angry Birds, you have a certain number of birds to slingshot across the sky and cause as much damage as possible. Some birds have special abilities to help you. To pass a level, you have to destroy all the pigs. The more damage you cause, the more points you get.
Fruit Ninja Fruit Ninja is a game where fruit is thrown up in the air and you have to slice it with your finger. You have to avoid slicing bombs, or else you’ll lose. By slicing more fruit in a row as a combo, you get more points, which leads to a higher score. By getting achievements, you can unlock different blades or backgrounds. You start with three lives, and every fruit you miss costs you a life. If you hit a bomb, game over.
Doodle Jump Doodle Jump puts players into the shoes of a Doodler, an alien-like creature. You jump off platforms in a challenge that doesn’t end until the Doodler misses his mark. You can jump off springs, trampolines, or even get a rocket to get a bonus and go higher into the sky. There are monsters that get in the way. You can avoid them, shoot them by simply pressing on the screen, or jump on top of them. The higher up you go, the higher your score goes.
Real Racing 3 Real Racing 3 is a great free racing game with outstanding graphics. It has 48 meticulously detailed cars from makers like Porsche, Dodge, Audi, Bugatti, and Lamborghini. There are many game modes such as elimination, drag racing, speed competitions, cup races, and much more. The more races you win, the more money you get. You can spend the money on repairs, upgrades, or even buy new cars. You can complete achievements doing difficult or interesting things. Can you become the ultimate racer? Find out in Real Racing 3.
Plants vs. Zombies Plants vs. Zombies involves a lot of strategy. It’s a one player game published by PopCap. You align plants in any order to defeat the zombies. Like most games, it gets harder every level, with stronger zombies and different settings. At the end of each level, you are rewarded with coins. You can buy stuff to unlock special plants. The last level has the biggest and strongest zombie, but you can still destroy him. You can play the game over and over again and keep getting coins.
Wrap Up There are many apps that are free or cost money. There are many different types of apps that take different skills. I think the apps that I discussed are the top 5 most addicting games that I know of.

Karts and Characters When you play on Mario Kart Wii, you need to choose a kart and a character. The character you select will become your racer. Once you pick a racer you have to choose a kart. Each racer has so many karts from which to choose. You may have to select a couple of different characters before you find the right kart. When you just begin the game, there aren’t very many racers from which to choose. As you win races and battles, additional karts and racers will be unlocked.

If you want to do something other than race, there are battles you can play. In one, you are driving around collecting golden coins. Each golden coin is worth one point for your team. At the end, the team with the most golden coins wins the battle. Another option is Balloon Battles. You go around with three balloons tied to your kart. If someone hits you with something, you can lose a balloon. You can win back balloons by hitting someone else. Again, similar to coin battles, the person at the end with the most balloons wins.

FIFA Street Skill Moves Kicking Across the World By: Brendan F. For a couple years now, people have asked me how to do fundamental skill moves for the Xbox 360 game FIFA Street. I’ve been playing FIFA Street for about two years now and I have gotten really good at remembering effective skill moves. If you are in any way of confusion about what you are reading, then read on!
What are Skill Moves Skill moves are turns used quickly to get past your opponent, in the sport of soccer. Many pro soccer players have used their creativity and soccer skills to create their own skill moves. Like the many soccer phenomenon’s, Zidane, Pele, Ronaldo and many other great players have created some unique skills called the flip flap, the Zidane, the Ronaldo, etc. Last of all, many skill moves include juggling the ball in the air with your body and then doing a skill move after.
Juggling Moves Juggling is the process of flicking the ball up into the air to try and trick your opponent to get to their goal. Here are some juggling moves and how to control the Xbox 360 controller to perform these moves. The first move is called the Around the World which is a move where you juggle the ball on your feet, and then you move your feet in a circle around the ball while it is in the air. You can perform this trick by tapping the right bumper, and then flicking the right stick up and down. This second move is called the Air Flip-Flap. It is called that because you juggle the ball and then you slide the ball in the air to the right and then to the left, quickly flipping it over your opponent's head. For this move, you also tap the right bumper, but now you slide the right stick in a counter clockwise position, and the come back in a clockwise position.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3MgvN_acvY
Fundamental and Special Tricks Fundamental skills are the most simple or easy moves to perform on FIFA Street. The buttons are very simple to learn too. A couple of these moves are body feints, step over’s, ball rolls, and the rainbow flick. The body feint is fingered by flicking the right stick to the right and the step over is just using the same stick but you flick it up and down this time. The ball roll is where the player rolls the ball across his body by holding the right stick up and down. Last but not least, the rainbow flick is where you have the soccer ball in between your legs, then you slide the ball up your leg and then flip the ball over your head. Another easy fingering yet again, you just flick the right stick side to side.
Conclusion I hope you have found my article very helpful for whenever you want to use skill moves in FIFA Street. It would be great if everyone who reads this continues to look to this for their questions.

Pinterest or Wanelo? Which one is for you? By Mikaela Honan
Do you know how to use these hardcore shopping apps? When you think of shopping you think of eBay or Amazon, You could try Wanelo or Pinterest. Here’s some information and how to about these resources.
Are you a shopping addict?
Wanelo and Pinterest are similar in that you can get ideas from both, but the difference is Pinterest you are not able to purchase items, like you can on Wanelo. Wanelo has over 19,000 people on it, Pinterest has over 12,000.
Comparing shopping sites Wanelo raised 2 million dollars since it’s been launched in 2010, and still making a profit in 2013! Wanelo is a global platform for shopping organized around the world! Pinterest is you only buy something for ideas... Most people say that they would prefer Wanelo over Pinterest, but others people say Pinterest is better than Wanelo.
Wanelo and Pinterest Pinterest connects with Wanelo. Pinterest sends more referral traffic than YouTube and Google+. Pinterest demographics are 54% female, and 46% male. Closing Wanelo is in the top 15 must have apps! Most people say Pinterest is right behind this up and coming app. The downfall with Pinterest is that you can only pin things and not actually purchase them from the app. If you want an app that allows you to buy any item you can think of with the click of the button than Wanelo is for you. If you want an app that allows you to save ideas and create later, than Pinterest is for you!

Minecraft How to kill the Ender Dragon By Christian Laycock Are you tired of being killed by the Ender Dragon? Then, this article is meant for you. Many people have tried and failed to kill the Ender Dragon. I know that I have. In this article you will find where the End Portal is, what enchants to use, and how to use snowballs to kill the Ender Dragon. Once you have finished this article you should have no problem killing the Ender Dragon.
Enchants When facing the Ender Dragon a good thing to do would be to enchant your weapons and armor. You do this by making an enchant table. You will need a lot of experience if you want good enchants. Once you have made the enchant table you then will surround it with bookshelves that are three blocks high and one block away. You put the item that you want to enchant into the top, left hand corner and click on the enchant you want to use (the enchantments are totally random). Once you have enchanted your weapons and armor you will then need to know how to find the Ender Dragon. -
How to find the Ender Dragon To find the Ender Dragon you will have to make an Eye of Ender. To do this you will have to kill an Enderman
to get and Ender Pearl. Then combine that with Blaze Powder, which you get from putting Blaze Rods in the furnace. You get Blaze Rods by killing Blazes, which you find the Nether. Once you have done this, you left click with the Eye of Ender in your hand, it will fly up. Make sure you follow it closely. It might take you quite a long time to reach it, so make sure you have a lot food. Once the Eye of Enders stop and start going into the ground, mine down into the earth. You will fall into a fortress (be careful there is lava and silverfish spawner. Then you need to right click on the end portal frame. Once you have done that, it will turn black and you will jump in. You are now at the End.
Snowballs Believe it or not snowballs work incredibly against the Ender Dragon (don’t worry you don’t have to spend hours in a snow biome). All you need to do is find enough snow to build two blocks of snow. Then you need to find a pumpkin. Then put the two block of snow on top of each other and then the pumpkin on top of the blocks. You will get a snow Golem. These create snow, then take the snow and makes snowballs. Take the snowballs to the End and throw them at the Ender Dragon to kill him. If you follow these steps, you should have no problem killing the Ender Dragon.
Good luck with your adventure.

Tweet Tweet! The In’s and Out’s of Twitter
By: Mickaley M. Twitter has been all over the world. It’s a place where you and all your friends can see what everybody is up to. Twitter released the application on July 15, 2006 and has been growing on the charts ever since. According to The Globe and Mail, “There are about two hundred million users worldwide and four hundred sixty thousand accounts are opened daily.” So what do you think Twitter is all about? Well here are some pros and cons on Twitter.
Pros of Twitter In my opinion Twitter is a great app. It loads fast, it’s fun, and it’s free. You can see what everybody is up to. If you want to be private, there is a privacy settings button so people have to have your permission to follow you. If somebody you're not sure about followed you, there is a button to block them. You can tweet pictures, you can retweet people and favorite their tweets. You can have a bio to tell a little bit about yourself. A bio is a box that lets you tell people out there about yourself in a hundred and forty words. At the bottom of the page there are three people that the app recommends you to follow.
Cons of Twitter Like any great app, there are also some cons. If you're not private, there are some spam accounts that will follow you. Also, there are direct messages where some hackers try to get you to click on free stuff so they can hack you. Not to worry, just don’t click on it if it looks suspicious. Another con, unfortunately, is that some of your followers might unfollow you; it could be for different reasons. It doesn’t tell you who did unfollow you so you have to look through all of your followers to see who did and that can be a pain. Final Thoughts Twitter is a great app, but, I’m a person that doesn't like to be open online about myself so, I definitely think the private settings are really a good idea. I hate that you could get tricked into getting hacked by clicking on the direct messages. Bottom line, it’s a pretty good app and I enjoy it a lot. I’m going to rate it three out of five stars. The private settings are good. I don’t like all the spam accounts and
people trying to hack you. Think about the pros and cons before you look into downloading the app or sign up on the website.

According to web trend.com Kik was made in October 19, 2010, and it has grown to have over 4 million users. It only took 15 days to reach one million users. web trends says “It is the best chat platforms there is that you can download on any Smartphone, tablet, and IPod touch” .This could possibly be the best game made.
What is Kik? Kik is like instant messaging app but made for texting. Kik was made so people can talk, but most people who don't have a phone download it on there IPods. Kik is the best texting app there is.
The Pros and Cons of Kik On Kik you can texts your friends, which is good if you don't have a phone. They don’t have minutes so it is impossible to go over them .But the only really bad thing is that you need wifi to talk to someone and you can only have nine people in a group but you can have as many groups as you want.
Wrapping it Up Kik is probably the most downloaded app there is. It is a perfect app for kids that don't have phones. Kids everywhere should get this app because if they don't have a phone you can have them get this app to see if you can trust them with a phone.

According to Find the Best, “Mario Kart Wii is the sixth installment in the Mario Kart series, and the eighth overall.� Through the years Mario Kart Wii has sold approximately 20,260,000 copies. Mario Kart Wii has everything. You can pick a player, a kart, and head out on one of the many difficult or not difficult tracks. Throughout the game you could get a question box. A question box has many good prizes to help you win a race. Mario Kart Wii has grown in price because so many people want the game. Mario Kart Wii is loved by many people. Time Trials Mario Kart Wii offers many different choices on how to play. Time Trials will allow you to race a computer player or if you want you could go solo and just play on a course by yourself. Also, in time trials you start with three mushrooms. Mushrooms give you power and allow you to go faster. When you race a computer player they are hard to beat and kind of invisible. There are usually two computer players that you can choose from. When you choose a computer player, you will play on their track. For example, if you choose Donkey Kong (a gorilla) you will race on DK Mountain. Also, if you pick Peach you will ride through Peach Gardens. Time Trials gets you a better racer and shows you all the players that you could choose if you win them. Grand Prix Grand Prix is a race that you do alone. If you place in the top three for four races in the same cup, you will most likely win a kart, a character, or another cup. A cup will unlock four new races. A kart is usually a bike
or car you would ride on through courses. A character could be a bird, a dragon, or even a normal looking cartoon that you pick to race with. Grand Prix lets you get new characters or races to have fun on. Battles or V.S Battles and VS are similar. On battles you can either play with someone or play alone. You pick a balloon or coin battle. There are 20 places you could battle in. You pick either a red or a blue team and play two tracks to see which team will win. When you go on a track you ride around a big stadium. You ride around either trying to get coins or avoiding people so they don't pop your balloon. V.S is like grand prix but instead of playing with only yourself you can play up to four people. Another option is racing solo or you can pick the blue or red team. You can't win anything on V.S but it is great for siblings or friends to race together. Conclusion Mario Kart Wii is a very popular game. As you can see from the graph, Mario Kart Wii is selling the most because it’s loved the best by anyone who likes to race. It has time trials, battles, V.S, and Grand Prix. You could buy Mario Kart Wii at any place that sells video games. Mario Kart Wii is loved by many people.

iPhone 5 or Galaxys3? Before you buy, know the truth! By Emily Southwell
You've all heard of the Galaxy s3 its big, 4G, comes in black, white, red, and blue. And I bet you have heard of the iPhone 5, its pocket size, 4G, comes in black and white. I have reviewed the Galaxy s3 and the iPhone 5.
Goods and bads of the iPhone There is a 8 megapixel isight camera, which is great for pics, and videos. The size is, 4.87”x 2.31”x .30” or you might say pocket size. How heavy is the iPhone 5 you might ask? The iPhone weighs 3.95 oz. So very light and the phone also comes in black and white, also siri comes with the iPhone 5 too. Here are the bad things of the iPhone. For some people they don't like that the iPhone only comes in black and white not anymore colors, Also if it hits something really hard then the screen might crack. Goods and bads of the Galaxy s3 The good things about the Galaxy are, there is a 8 megapixel camera just like the iPhone too. How big is the phone? The Galaxy is 5.4”x2.8”x.30” So that’s pretty big! The phone weighs about 4.7 oz. So a little heavier than the iPhone. The Galaxy has 4G, and comes in colors like blue, red, black, and white. Now the bad stuff about the Galaxy, no siri, bigger than normal phones, the screen breaks easily, and might glitch up. How Strong are the screens? This is what the Gadget Web Site said, “both phones were dropped from the same height, which resulted in the iPhone 5 suffering with minor scratches, while the S3’s screen was smashed. The waterproof test was fairer; both devices were dropped in a swimming pool, resulting in the iPhone carrying on as normal, and Samsung’s blower going in total meltdown. The third and final test that they did was, both devices having your average household items being dropped on them, including a rolling pin and torch. Both devices seemed to put up a good fight, although the S3’s screen took a big blow from the bottom edge of a wine bottle and cracked.”
In my opinion I think the iPhone is better, because the screen is super strong, fits right into your pocket, it's lightweight, and it has 4G on it, and Siri too. But now it’s your turn to decide. Which one is the best pick for you?

Wii Sports Baseball How to Throw Anything from a 100 Mph Fastball to a 70 Mph Curve Story by Ryan S. Wii Sports is a game that was released in 2006 for the Wii gaming console. There are 5 different sports in the game: tennis, bowling, golf, boxing, and, last but not least, baseball. In this article, I’m going to tell you all about pitching for this great game.
The Basics of Pitching Throwing a pitch is very easy. All you have to do is move the remote in a throwing motion. You can also control the speed of the pitch by moving the remote at different speeds. (Tip: To throw the ball very fast, you move the remote in a flicking motion). Before you throw a pitch you can aim where the ball goes. Using the arrow pad, you tap the arrow that represents the direction you want the ball to go. You can also throw the pitch underhand. To perform this action, you press the 2 button on the remote. Once you feel the remote vibrate, you are in the underhand mode. To revert to normal pitching, you tap the 1 button, located above the 2 button.
The Old Number One The fastball is the most basic pitch in the game. To throw a fastball all you have to do is move the remote in a throwing motion, not holding down any buttons. The fastball is most effective if you have been continuously throwing off-speed pitches.
The Curveball The curveball is a very effective pitch. If you have been continuously throwing fastballs, throw a curve to throw them off balance. To throw a curveball, hold down the B button, (located on the back of the remote), while throwing the pitch.
The Screwball The screwball is a pitch very similar to the curveball. The only difference is that the ball curves the other way when thrown. The screwball is just as effective as the curveball. To throw a screwball, you hold the A button, (surrounded by the arrow pad), while throwing the pitch. If you double-tap the right arrow key before throwing, the pitch will start over the plate and will then curve out of the hitter’s reach. Before throwing a curveball, double-tap the left arrow key for the same effect.
The Splitter The splitter is the hardest pitch to hit in the game. If your opponent is very aggressive at the plate, throw a splitter to throw them off balance. To throw a splitter, you hold both the A and B button at the same time.

The Top 5 The Top 5 Steam Games By: Joey Y.
Steam Have you ever played games on Steam? Have you ever wondered about the top 5 games? Steam is an online website for buying games. This article features our top 5 Steam games of 2013. By mixing the sales and the top played, I made the Steam top 5 game list.
#5: Left For Dead 2 At number 5 is LFD2. This first person shooter is awesome for playing online and solo. Its level features, like the minecraft level, is awesome for minecraft fans. It’s also cool for people who like zombie apocalypse. The objective is to find the safe spot or finish the mission. Then once you get to the safe spot or finish the mission it will show you the stats of the players.
#4 Terraria This fun game is both adventurous and pixeled. The way to play the game is confusing at first, but fun later on. If you think some games with monsters are weird then you should try this game! The graphics of this game are not very good but they are actually kind of addicting. You could mine, cut wood, or even build! This, however is the only pixeled game that made the Steam top 5!
#3 Skyrim Skyrim is the number one PS3 game for three years, the number one mmorpg (massive multiplayer online role-playing game) for two years, and the game of the year 2011-2012. It’s not that much of a surprise that this fantasy game is up there on the list. This dual wield game is fun to its every ages! In my opinion it has the best scenery in Steam.
#2 GMod Garry's Mod is one big game pack with game modes in it. These game modes are darkrp, trouble in terrorist town, roleplay, flood, apocalypserp, redead, sandbox, and nuke pack4. You could build, shoot zombies or terrorists, or survive. I would really advise this game because of how popular it is.
#1 TF2 Team Fortress 2 is an action packed first person shooter with multiple classes. Also my favorite game, this is a great game for beginning Steam customers. There are so many levels I couldn't even name them all! The kinds of games are training mode, territorial control, special delivery, payload race, payload, mann v. machine, king of the hill, medieval attack/defend, attack/defend, standard control point, control point, capture the flag, and arena. Do you want to be a spy, a tank, a sniper, or a pyro? Take the challenge and you’ll have fun!
