Rpgmaker

A few of you must have at some time though: "I wanna make my own video game"; and why not as everyone has their own ideas of what a good game is and what it should do.

Well you don't need to apply to a video game company or have lots of computer skills to do that now, just go to Rpgmaker, a website that specializes in indie games that not only provides the tools for you to create your own game but it even hosts it in the website.

And if you don't know the first thing about how to create a game?

No problem as not only do most game engines come with tutorials but it has a very active community that can help you with whatever problems you may have during the conception of your game.

Be advised however that not all games and game engines are free and you should only buy those if you enjoy the game a lot or if you plan to make games as a full-time hobby as otherwise the free alternatives are good enough for your needs.

In conclusion, this website provides all you'll need to make your own games, whether as a hobby or as a part-time job and even if you don't want to make your own games you can still play the ones other people have created and are hosted in the website, so visit them and contribute by spreading word or making your own game.

CintaNotes

A good note manager is hard to find as they often have too many features or too few, or simply aren't comfortable enough to encourage you to use them as your default note taker.

If it's simple you want then CintaNotes is just what you need has I don't know of a easier to use note-taking application that balances between tiny black rectangles to NASA's version of a Busy Box for astronauts.

CintaNotes offers plenty of options, including colours and themes, hotkeys for clipping text and adding notes and editing options with a minimalistic control setting that consists only of a search tool and drop-down list for sorting notes.

Once you create a new note you can add almost anything to it from Tags to Links which includes a go-to button for opening active links though, unfortunately it doesn't support images which means it won't be useful for those who like to add images to their notes.

It even allows you to create copies of texts from the internet by pressing the CTRL+F12 keys on your keyboard to create a note, or simply copy/paste it into the program, it will even save URL of the website from which you copied it alongside the note.

Simple and easy to use describe this application well and it's a great program for those who take a lot of notes and those who think that other note taking programs are too complicated or not good enough for them, so give this convenient program a go and you'll be impressed with the results.

Free PDF to Word

People share PDFs more than any other type of file, but they can be a pain to edit, especially to those who don't know how to.

In cases like this your best solution is Free PDF to Word, a program that allows you to alter them in a text editor and not just Word like the programs name says, it's also compatible with other open-source programs so those who don't use Office can also use this excellent tool.

Another of it's good points it's that it doesn't consume much space and it's quick to install and it even maintains your PDF original design meaning you don't have to put the layout back together again after you finish adding the modifications you want.

You can even choose to convert a whole document or just a specific page which allows you to save precious time and you can ignore any images in the original document so that it's converted into pure text.

All things said, Free PDF to Word is a must have tool for those who use PDF a lot like students, office workers or those who just like to share their work online for everyone to see, so if you use PDF's a lot give this handy program a try.

Gameanyone

Those of you who enjoy watch video games videos in websites like youtube have certainly at some point thought: "I can do better than this guy, I mean he sucks".

However even if you record a game there's no guarantee that someone will see it or even appreciate it as there are thousands of game videos all over the net.

For those people I recommend Gameanyone, a website that not only hosts your videos but even awards titles and game achievements so that everyone can see whether or not your video is best than others and it comes with a page for every game so as long as you input the video in the correct place there's a high chance someone will see it.

There are other benefits to those who watch those videos as the website tells whether a video is in HD, has commentary and if the game or the video is popular enough it will be posted in the front page of the website.

It hosts games from all consoles and I mean all and it even as pages for games that still don't have videos so that those who wish to post won't have to wait until the page is added.

In conclusion, if you appreciate a good video walkthrough or if you just enjoy seeing how others play a certain game then this website is what you'll need and if you record games then this is the largest community I know of that specializes in this so go see for yourself and enjoy.

Razer Game Booster

When playing games in your computer, one the primary problems you may encounter is the fact that the other programs in your computer interfere with your gaming experience by slowing down or lagging the game.

If you can't afford to buy a optimized gaming PC then Razer game booster is what you need to shut down those unnecessary system resources in order to improve the performance of resource-thirsty games.

This program like others similar will shut down non-vital processes liberating all the RAM your game will need to function easily with just one simple click on it's basic interface so amateurs won't have a problem using it.

Furthermore it comes with a game defragmenter that specifically defragments the game directories, allowing a given game to start and run more quickly. 

Be advised however that it doesn't come with a help manual and those who don't understand about computer processes won't have any idea of what they're shutting down so make sure to reverse the process once you finish gaming or else you may find difficulties using the computer.

All said Razer game booster won't perform miracles but it will certainly squeeze all the extra memory your games need to work at full capacity.

AdFender

One of the things that annoy people the most when using the internet, is the fact that, no matter where you look, you only find ads.

How many people have cursed the fact that some websites have more ads than content or that those ads insert spyware in your computer sometimes?

In order to fight that, I recommend AdFender, a free ad blocker tool that not only works with all major browsers but also some less common ones, too, such as Opera, Safari, Maxthon, Lunascape, Avant, K-Meleon, and Epic.

It's usage it's extremely simple, just activate it and reload the page to see gray rectangles in place of ads furthermore, it runs on the background meaning that it won't consume vast amounts of memory without your permission.

It even comes with several tools like add or remove allowed Web sites, select apps for filtering, and manage your IE cookies, history, and log files.

However, be careful because the program may block the content of other websites if it thinks it might be ads resulting in a great mess and some ads might not be blocked if it thinks they're a part of the website's content.

But despite that it's still a good enough app and a good way to get rid of those annoying ads that make the internet a less pleasant place so give it a try.
