Well, if you're anything like us here at GetOnePC, your probably obsessed with finding the best MMORPG and letting reality slip through your fingers and enjoy letting a virtual game take complete control of your time and your senses.

While searching for the 'best of the best' in MMOs, we stumbled on to an amazing website. It's called Onrpg.com and let me tell you, this is the place to find all the hottest new and old MMOs. It's basically a compiled list of just about every MMO that you can imagine. While the bulk of it's listing contains links to free to play MMOs, it also offers links to payed MMOs as well as open and closed beta links to start playing some of the up and coming MMOs.

But it doesn't stop there. You simply just can not try out an MMO based on its name, style, or picture. What Onrpg.com has done is write up a review, posted pictures for each MMO they have listed. Not only that, they allow browsers to post their own comments about the games they have listed! You can browse by category, game type or even game author! It really simplifies the search for finding the MMO that you like best.

The community is simply gigantic. They have a forums with a listing of over 20 different games. Members routinely post about the games they play the most. So to get even more information about MMOs, be sure to check out their forums as well! Onrpg Forums.

Starcraft 2: The Wait is Over!

Not too long ago, Blizzard Entertainment, announced their newest project. Starcraft 2! I, for one, simply can't believe it. I honestly had given up hope on ever seeing a sequel to the classic Starcraft. They are updating graphics, adding new units and doing an overhaul on their free to play servers.

If you haven't even played Starcraft or Starcraft:Broodwars I highgly suggest you pick up a copy today! It's a fast pace RTS game. It is extremely futuristic with a lot of flexibility. And if balance between the 3 optional races is your concern you have no need to worry.

This game has been around since the late 90's and the company has taken extreme measures to assure balance between the three races. So, no matter your preferance of race, you will also have a fair fighting chance! The community is still thriving as well. At any given time there are over 1000 games being played on each of their 4 different servers. It also allows different types of games styles. If you are not into RTS that much, you can opt to play a campaign map created by the community, play a defense map, bounds, watch a movie or even play classic games like monopoly with a Starcraft twist!

If you are a die hard fan like myself, then I will show you some of the new things they are included with the sequel.

  • The graphics engine has been completely redone. Everything has gone 3d!
  • Once again they will be including a map editor (a new one at that!)
  • All of the classic buildings have been remodeled to fit better with the new 3d engine!
  • Several new units!
The info that blizzard has released is very small. Currently they are only showing us the new units for the protoss race. They are as follows:

  • Immortals
    This new unit replaces the old dragoon. Equipped with a new weapon and a devastating new shield against heavy artillery. While the new shield is great against strong units, it makes them vulnerable to weaker units.
  • Stalker
    This unit replaces the Dark Templar. They are very similar to a dragoon. One of the best abilities of this new unit is blink (or teleport).
  • Phase Prism
    The primary use of this unit is to transport forces across the battlefield. But perhaps the most useful ability is the psi field they can emit. Once you transform the unit you will be able to build structers powered by this unit without the need of a pylon!
  • Phoenix
    This unit is replacing the scout and corsair. The unique ability this unit possesses is its AOE weapon. It has the ability to attack all units surrounding it at the same time. During the time it uses this attack it becomes weaker and easier to kill.
For a closer and more graphical look, you can check out the official Starcraft2 website. If you wanting to watch some in-game videos then follow the links below.

*Note: You can view the videos on YouTube if you don't feel like downloading them. There is only one difference. The videos on YouTube do not have the blizzard commentary with the videos.

Squidoo a unique take on blogs and social networking.

This is simply a fantastic website. Imagine a place where you can sign upand talk about anything you wanted, sell products, participate in community activities and just make yourself and other feel good. This is what Squidoo is all about.

I highly suggest you all to sign up and become a member today. It's similar to having a blog but with a community of helpful members to help you out and who are looking for friends. I would have t say that this is a borderline social networking community. You can browse other peoples 'lens' as they are called to see what everyone else is up to. Not only that, you get paid for traffic to direct to your squidoo lens!

I set mine up over the past few days and I just started getting the hang of it. My lens is now published and you can view it by click here. Setting up your own Squidoo lens is fast and easy. Over the next few days I will adding stuff to our blog here on how to make even more money on Squidoo, as soon as I actually figure it out that is. One of our policies here at GetOnePC is to not promote anything that doesn't yeild results. So I just wanna be sure before I go off giving you ideas to make money if I we can't do it.

Once you sign up and create your lens the first thing you need to do is join some groups. Joining groups will help you get some traffic to your lens. At the beggining it will be very helpful! So don't neglect joining groups.

One last thing I recommend is filling out your bio and uploading a picture of yourself. People seem to have a greater sense of trust for those who are not affraid to share some of their personal interests. You don't want to look like a scam so, once again, be sure to fill out your bio and upload a picture.

Most of you may have problems with getting your computer to boot fast enough. I remember my first computer. The first time I pluged it in and booted it up I was soo overjoyed. It ran and it ran fast. However, the more I started using it the slower it seemed to be getting. It eventually got to a point to where I would boot it up and walk away for 10 minutes so it could fully load everything. At one point it got soo aggrivating that I started looking around for tips and tricks to get faster boot times.
Waiting for your computer to fully boot to a functional peice of technology can be a daunting task if you have a low amount of RAM and a lot of startup programs. I actually took my comptuer to a repair technician to get this problem solved. Their solution was to add more RAM and for a few weeks that seemed to do the trick. But it didn't last long. I soon came into the same problem. I remember the tech telling me that having more RAM can increase the overall speed of your computer so I started looking for information on how to get a hold of more RAM. Sadly, much to my surprise, I found out that I could not add any more RAM. My computer was maxed at 1GB of RAM.

After some experimenting I stumbled onto some extremely usefull information. I learned on RAM worked and I learned alot about how computers work. Here is what found out.
  • All programs require RAM to start up and run.
  • RAM is like a memory bank for your computer to help stat things faster.
  • The more RAM your computer has, the more it can handle.
  • RAM is used to store information about a program.
  • RAM is used to speed up the process of opening and runing programs.

Now after I learned all that I started to evaluate my computer useage. Every time I booted my computer, it loaded around 20 or so programs. This was causing a 'bottleneck' of information and my CPU was on overload trying to load the programs because I simply didn't have enough
RAM. I came to realize that the less amount of programs you have starting up during your boot, the faster you computer will boot!

Keeping a clean desktop (having a lot of desktop icons can slow down boot times as well) and minimizing the amount of startup programs you have will greately increase your boot times. I only had to do this once....until I upgraded to Wndows Vista. Once again, the vista boot time droped dramatically. After I did it once in Windows Vista I went from a slow boot to a speedy boot.

Check out this video tutorial on how to get a faster boot time.
