Mobsters Cheats – Volume 1

by admin on Sep.17, 2009, under Art And Entertainment

With over 9 million users it is safe to say that MySpace Mobsters and Facebook Mobsters are among the most popular online games out there. With these many people playing there surely have to be some kind of cheats available. I mean it’s only a text based game and after you log into Mobsters you would surely see that there is a huge gap between the haves and the have-nots. This being said, like my quest for Mafia Wars cheats, I went on a quest to find all the Mobsters cheat that I could.

The first thing I noticed is that the extraordinary amount of cash and resources that is thrown around in Mafia Wars is not as prevalent in Mobsters. The world seems to be more balanced and there are not gazillion dollar hits being placed on people like in Mafia Wars. You really have to work at it to move up in the Mobsters world. It was at this moment that I realized finding Mobsters cheats will not be a walk in the park.

Nevertheless I began my search to see what information I could find. While running several searches for Mobsters cheats I came up upon a few sites that looked promising, but after going through a few of them I noticed that any cheats that were posted on these sites were very old and did not work. Most of them stopped updating in September – October which leads me to believe that there was a change in the game or something that made coming up with cheats very hard. The only thing I could really find was sites which allowed you to place your MySpace URL so that you can grow you mob and thus become more powerful. While this is definitely helpful it’s not what I was really looking for.

I did not let this discourage me and keep looking to see if there were any sites that would provide genuine cheats but I really could not find anything. From my research it seems that the creators for this game was really protective and even forced some websites to stop operating which may have contained genuine cheats for the game.

There are some tactics that people use in Mobsters that will help you gain a huge advantage over the competition. These include where to use your skill points, some leveling tricks that help you level even faster, some tactics for fighting that can help you win more fights and property guides that will help you choose which properties to buy so that your wealth will grow at the fastest possible rate. Unlike the other applications where cheating is more rampant these things really make a difference in Mobsters and will give you a competitive edge

.

The only thing I see that would be considered a real cheat for Mobsters is if there is a good automator created for it. Since cheats and glitches are fixed very quickly that is the only thing that will be consistent in cheating your way to the top.

Street Racing Cheats – Volume 1

by admin on Sep.17, 2009, under Art And Entertainment

Street Racing is very quickly becoming one of the most popular social gaming applications out there. It takes the concept of Mobsters and Mafia Wars and adds a fast and the furious theme to it, Which I actually thought was a great Idea. After logging into Street Racing you will noticed that the images are top notch and this along with the tried and tested game platform will keep you hooked. Now what does every one want after they have fooled around with the game for a few days and what to catch up to the competition? Yes, you guessed it Street Racing Cheats!

Now Street Racing is from the same makers of Mafia Wars so when I first began looking for Street Racing cheats I figured there could be two possible outcomes. One would be that they have learned from their mistakes with Mafia Wars and fixed all of the bugs so the game is uncheatable. Or two, they developed it based on the same framework and there would be basically the same cheats available for Street Racing as was available for Mafia Wars. I was really hoping for option two.

I then began my search for cheats. I once again ran some searches and was surprised that there was not as many sites for Street Racing as there were for Mafia Wars and Mobsters. Actually there weren’t any…the only thing was a few wiki answers but they did not have much information at all. This was discouraging since I thought with its new found popularity there would be a massive amount of information on how to get ahead in this game. Most of the sites that came up were for Midnight Club Street Racing or LA Street racing.

After digging very deep into Google I did manage to find a couple sites that gave some very basic information on getting ahead in the game but not really any Cheats. There was one or two that had some good information and were actively working on developing cheats for this game.

There was a really cool Firebug cheat that allowed users to modify cars, brake, intake, exhaust and suspension by using the Firefox addon but it was recently patched. There were other smaller ones but they have also since been patched.

If these Street Racing cheats were discovered without many people really trying I’m sure there are many others out there. I guess the reason that sites have not picked it up yet is because it is still relatively new and just starting to really grow. For now we just have to hold tight and look for tips to help us get ahead of the completion strategically. Also growing your crew is important like with any other gaming app and this can be done relatively quickly by using the tools on the various sites that offer them. I’m sure in the near future there will automators and more cheats for this game.

Sopranos: One of the Most Popular TV Dramas of All Time!

by admin on Sep.13, 2009, under Art And Entertainment

The Sopranos is a television drama that was first broadcast on HBO in 1999. It provides a hard-hitting and edgy look into the life of an Italian-American Mafia family living in Northern New Jersey. The Sopranos series has run for six seasons and is scheduled to end in mid-2007. Filmed on location in New Jersey, the series offers a glimpse into the everyday life of a Mafia family. Although the show centers on a family, it is clearly not a family show. The Sopranos is aimed squarely at mature audiences and includes graphic depictions of violence, nudity, language and drug use.

The show chronicles the life and times of mob boss Tony soprano and his family, including his daughter Meadow, son A.J. and wife Carmela.

The pilot began with a severe anxiety attack being suffered by the main character Tony Soprano. Tony Soprano’s therapy and interaction with his therapist, Dr. Melfi, have played a continuing central role in the show’s plot.

The Sopranos has proven to be one of the most popular dramas on television and is the most popular cable drama. More than 13.4 million viewers watched the premiere episode of the fourth season. The Sopranos has been a critical success as well. Is it is frequently hailed as the top drama series and is cited as one of the best shows on television. TV Guide magazine ranked the Sopranos fifth in its list of the “greatest of all time” television shows. The show has received numerous Emmy award nominations and won the Emmy for outstanding drama in 2004. The show has also taken home at least one acting-related Emmy award every season.

However, not everyone joins in the glowing praise of this dramatic presentation. The show is often criticized for its stereotypes of Italian Americans. Several national groups who advocate on behalf of Italian-Americans have been quite vocal in their opposition to the show. In some cases, the cast of the Sopranos has even been barred from participating in public events.

The Sopranos was created and is produced by David Chase. Chase’s earlier TV credits include episodes of The Rockford Files and Northern exposure. Chase continues to be the driving creative force behind the Sopranos and writes many of the episodes. He is credited for the central role that dream sequences play in the series. Chase believes that these dream sequences can expand on and clarify the show’s narrative. The Sopranos is also rich in symbolism, although popular interpretations of the exact meaning of the symbolism vary quite a bit.

The central character, Tony Soprano, is portrayed by James Gandolfini. Gandolfini was actually born in New Jersey where much of the show is filmed. After working as a Manhattan bartender, Gandolfini began his acting career in New York theater. He is also appeared in several films and other television shows, but true fame came as a result of his role on the Sopranos. It’s interesting to note that Gandolfini actually had personal reservations about continuing in the role of Tony Soprano because of the show’s violence and its stereotypical portrayal of Italian-Americans.

The Sopranos was originally set to air on the Fox network but was rejected by Fox before airing. HBO then picked up the show. It was originally intended to run for only one or two seasons, but its success and wide appeal has propelled the show into its sixth season. Sopranos fans are forced to wait longer between seasons than is normal for most television shows. These breaks are often blamed on the need for time to develop storylines and scheduling conflicts with the actors.

The Sopranos is also distinctive for its musical selections, which are often played throughout the show. At the same time, the series is somewhat unique for its lack of incidental music, taking a fairly minimalist direction in terms of soundtrack.

All indications are that the show will end in the early summer of 2007. After that, Sopranos fans can look for the show to continue airing on the A&E network. As a testament to the popularity of The Sopranos, A&E won a bidding war with Lifetime, Spike, USA and TNT. Ultimately, they paid $2.5 million per episode, possible the largest payout ever for syndication. Fans can also purchase fully-loaded, unedited DVD sets of every season.

The 10 Most Popular Movies of All Time – A Cheat Sheet

by admin on Sep.11, 2009, under Art And Entertainment

Are you a movie dunce? Do you not know your Corleone from your Kurosawa? Would you recognise a lightsaber if it hit you in the face? Well, don’t panic. To help you catch up on your movie knowledge here’s a crash course in the top 10 movies of all time, as voted by the readers of the Internet Movie Database. Careful, though… here be spoilers.

10. Star Wars IV: A New Hope

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far, away . . .

Luke Skywalker, farmhand and son of Darth Vader, is torn from his home when his aunt and uncle are murdered by Imperial Storm Troopers searching for the stolen plans to the Death Star, a space station with weaponry capable of destroying planets. Luke escapes with his two droids, Jedi Knight Obi Wan Kenobi, smuggler Han Solo and first mate Chewbacca.

After escaping Tatooine, the ragtag crew stumble upon the Death Star shortly after it has destroyed the planet Alderaan. Caught by its tractor beam, their ship is dragged in. While attempting to escape the Death Star the team rescue Princess Leia, held prisoner in the ships bowels. During the rescue Obi Wan sacrifices himself to allow the others to escape.

In a grand finale, Luke destroys the Death Star by firing a missile into a weak spot in the structure of the ship and Darth Vader, is cannoned off into the depths of space.

Quote: I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

Trivia: Al Pacino, Burt Reynolds and James Caan reportedly turned down the role of Han Solo.

9. Pulp Fiction

A movie whose various plotlines are far too intertwined to summarise in a paragraph or two, Pulp Fiction simply tells the story of a day in the life of a group of unusual people—two hitmen, the wife of a gangster, and a boxer who killed in the ring among others.

Edited to tie each story together, the movie often plays out of sequence—to the point where the final scene and the opening scene take place at the same time. Full of pop culture references and quotable lines, Pulp Fiction stays true to form as a Tarantino movie.

Quote: Zed’s dead, baby. Zed’s dead.

Trivia: Vincent Vega (John Travolta) is the brother of Vic Vega, also known as Mr Blonde, in Reservoir Dogs.

8. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Set during the US Civil War, the movie follows the three protagonists Blondie (The Good), Snake Eyes (The Bad) and Tuco (The Ugly) in their search for a hoard of gold stolen by bank robber Bill Carson. All three want 50% of the gold—resulting in a good old-fashioned standoff. Snake Eyes is shot dead, and the honorable Blondie allows Tuco his share of the booty.

Quote: You see, in this world there’s two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig.

Trivia: Clint Eastwood wore the same poncho for all three ‘Man With No Name’ movies—without washing it once.

7. Schindler’s List

Schindler’s List tells the true story of Oscar Schindler, a Nazi industrialist who becomes so moved by the plight of the Jewish people during World War II that he devotes himself to saving as many as he can. Even after rescuing over 1,100 Jews from the gas chamber, Schindler bemoans the fact that he could have saved more had he sacrificed everything he had.

Quote: I could have got more out. I could have got more. I don’t know. If I’d just… I could have got more.

Trivia: Steven Spielberg refused to take any pay for the film, claiming that it would feel like he was taking ‘blood money’.

6. The Seven Samurai

Regarded as Akira Kurosawa’s greatest film, the Seven Samurai tells the story of a terrorised village in war-torn 16th Century Japan. Constantly attacked by gangs of bandits, the residents enlist the services of seven ronin, or samurai without masters, to protect them.

Despite initial tensions between the villagers and the samurai, they together successfully defend the village against the bandits. However, their success comes at the cost of the lives of four samurai.

Quote: What’s the use of worrying about your beard when your head’s about to be taken?

Trivia: The three samurai whose characters survived the film were the first three to die in real life.

5. Casablanca

Hiding out in Casablanca, Morocco during World War II, exiled American and former freedom fighter Rick Blaine passes the time running a popular nightspot. Blaine’s tedium is interrupted when Czech Resistance leader Victor Laszlo arrives with his beautiful wife Ilsa—Blaine’s ex-lover.

Blaine holds the key to Laszlo’s safe passage out of the country, and Ilsa offers herself to him in exchange for her husband’s safety. Blaine faces the choice of sacrificing Laszlo to win back Ilsa, but in the end decides to do the honorable thing…

Quote: If that plane leaves the ground and you’re not with him, you’ll regret it. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life.

Trivia: The line ‘Here’s lookin’ at you, kid’ was voted the 5th most well known movie line in history by the American Film Institute.

4. Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King

The third and final instalment of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Return of the King offers an epic finale to Frodo’s quest (thousands of extras took part in the filming to add to the drama). Finally arriving at Mt. Doom, Frodo is overcome by exhaustion and the stress of bearing the Ring. Helped by Sam, Frodo manages to make his way into the volcano.

At the last moment he finds himself unable to throw the Ring into the magma, choosing instead to wear it. Gollum, surviving Frodo’s earlier attempt on his life, attacks Frodo and bites off his finger, removing the ring. Losing his grip, Gollum falls into the pit along with the Ring, breaking its hold over Frodo and killing Sauron.

With Sauron’s death his army is destroyed, just in time to save the army of Men, poised to fight to the death at the gates of Mordor.

Quote: Come on, Mr. Frodo. I can’t carry it for you… but I can carry you.

Trivia: The Return of the King used over seven times the number of special effects shots used in an average movie.

3. The Godfather: Part II

Split between two timelines, the second instalment of The Godfather trilogy follows Don Vito Corleone through his adolescence in Sicily and New York during the early 20th Century, and later his rise to power as a Mafia Don. It also returns to a point a few years after the conclusion of the first movie, with Michael Corleone running the family interests following his father’s death.

After learning that his brother Fredo has betrayed the family, Michael must order his execution.

Quote: I know it was you Fredo. You broke my heart. You broke my heart!

Trivia: Robert de Niro won an Oscar for his portrayal of a young Vito Corleone. De Niro and Marlon Brando are the only actors to win Oscars for the portrayal of the same character.

2. The Shawshank Redemption

Based on a novella by Steven King, The Shawshank Redemption tells the story of Andy Dufresne, a successful banker wrongly convicted for the murder of his wife and her lover. Given two life sentences, Dufresne is sent to the maximum security Shawshank Prison where he befriends Ellis Boyd “Red” Redding, a lifer who helps him adjust to prison life.

Over the next twenty years their friendship grows while Andy has a positive effect on the inmates, helping to establish a prison library and education system. Unfortunately, the mean-spirited and criminal warden beats down Andy’s spirit until he finally escapes through a tunnel that took him two decades to dig.

In a final act of revenge Andy exposes the warden’s crimes, driving him to suicide to avoid being sent to prison. Red is later released on parole, and tracks down Andy to a beach in Mexico.

Quote: Get busy living, or get busy dying.

Trivia: The mugshots of Morgan Freeman as a young man are actually pictures of his real life son, Alfonso.

1. The Godfather

Adapted from Mario Puzo’s seminal Mafia novel, the first instalment of The Godfather trilogy sees Don Vito Corleone, head of the Corleone crime family, struggle with the realities of a changing world. When he refuses to work with drug dealer Virgil Sollozzo in a scheme to push heroin in New York, he falls foul of Sollozzo’s backers the Tattaglia family.

When Vito is wounded in an attempted assassination his son Michael—previously determined to have nothing to do with the family business—volunteers to kill Sollozzo. Following the execution Michael is sent to Sicily to hide out until it is safe to return. After Michael’s brother Sonny is executed by the rival Barzini family, Michael safely returns and takes his place as the head of the family in time to see Vito Corleone die of a heart attack. In revenge for the attacks on his family Michael arranges for the murder of the heads of the other families, to take place during the baptism ceremony of his nephew.

Following the baptism Michael orders the execution of the father of the baptised child—and his own brother in-law—Carlo Rizzi, in retribution for Carlo’s role in setting up Sonny’s death. The movie ends with the widow, Michael’s sister Connie, suspecting that Michael was involved in Carlo’s death.

Quote: I’ll make him an offer he can’t refuse.

Trivia: Sofia Coppola, the director’s daughter, played the baby baptised at the end of the movie. She returned to play the role of Michael’s daughter Mary in The Godfather: Part III).

So there you have it. If you’ve been paying attention you should now have just enough knowledge of the top ten movies of all time to bluff your way through a conversation with a movie buff. These bare bones won’t take you far, though, so I suggest you set aside some time, get a big bucket of popcorn, sit back and enjoy the best of Hollywood. You won’t be disappointed.
