Web VS Murder

I work at a bar. I could not imagine what it would be like if my most favorite game was not around. It is called Big Buck Hunter. You playing against the program or another player to shoot the bucks and move on to the next round. The person with the best accuracy and most hit wins. That's all it is. I don't like guns and would never pick up a real one. Video game hunting and literal hunting are two totally different ideas. The click of the mouse is not much different. Individuals play video games that kill people all the time. This article is completely ludacris. There is no way that any individual would be able to prevent game makers not to make a fire arm game. Sports games and war games are the most frequently played games. There is no way that can be stopped.

Magic VS Internet

Roy Raphaeli is an up and coming magician. He creates video clips of all his magic tricks, and posts then online on Metacafe. From when his first video was published, he has accumulated over $13,000. His videos have been viewed over 1.4 million times. Many companies are "rewarding creativity". As more people go to a site, a pop up will come up. Every time an individual clicks on the pop up, the creators receive money. The creator of the original film usually receives money based on the amount of people that go to the site. In Roy's case, he is making more money putting his trick online than he would if he were to make a DVD. Basically this just shows how much potential there is for up and coming producers etc. Pre-professional video productionists.
Not everyone can achieve what Roy has. It is all about the audience, and how many viewers they can get. Marketing on myspace or facebook helps. There are other means on going about it.
