Game designers are vital people in the game industry. They are not programmers, artists, developers, 3d designers, publishers. Every thing has some importance, even game designers has some importance. Similarly game designers also have some importance in the game industry. There is nothing in this world affable. Designer is a person who lays out the plan for anything. A game designer lays out the plan for a game.

In the game industry as well, there must be some one who would actually layout the whole game before it is implemented. There will be no game studio without a game designer. As an architect designs a map for a house, the house is than built on the basis of the map by the team of builders. Similarly, a game designer designs the game on paper which is going to be the base of the game for all the other members of the development team.

A game designer also will be needed to give the game a life in paper (i.e. write game design documents). Getting with new ideas is not the only job of a game designer. Any one who plays games can get ideas, like he wants this in the game or this mod must be there in a game, etc. The actual problem is whether the idea is going to be good, and if it is good is it possible to implement it. Some ideas might seem like awesome,. But when you actually get down to implement it, it will be a headache or not possible. Normally it takes quite some time for developing games (there is no fixed times, some take around 6 months, where as some take years to complete). It depends on the game, how big and how complicated is it?

A game can be complicated be by complex A.I., Game play, Graphics, etc. There surely exist millions of ideas for games but not all are good and not all are bad. It depends on a game designer as well to give a game an awesome story and make the game a super hit, but the game can be disappointing as well. The first thing to make sure is that there is no or very little repetitive game play. As repetition makes a game really boring and looses the interest of the gamer. Well I guess this was about some of the things about a game designer should do.

Note: This article is not supposed to teach you Game designing from A – Z. if you would like to learn there are plenty of books written by professional game designers.

Business is not just investing and getting money nor is it all about profit. It actually is a really complicated thing to do. It needs hard work, effort, intelligence and insanity. Business is not some thing that you can start overnight or a miracle happens and you have a business running. Business takes months or even years to start. You will need to use your brain to make your business work. You might possibly suffer a slight loss or no loss and no profit and first but gradually every thing will get better. There is nothing in this world like sit and earn from your home by browsing. That is all bogus.

Before starting a business the first thing you see is which product are you planning for, doing a market research, finding out about the market. Then come to your product(s), you have to see which sex, which age group you going to sell the product for. Like soft toys cannot be for the age group of 60 years old. And you cannot make an advertisement like a serious one; you have to make it attractive so kids like it. Well talking about advertising, now is the best time to speak about advertisement. This is actually to make people aware about your product; it can be done in many ways like in newspaper, magazines, distributing samples, etc. Be careful with your advertisement. It has to attract people and give a good impression at first sight.

Well to make your business successful; you would also consider marketing strategies, pricing strategies, special offers, etc. In business, the most common word is competitor; a competitor is another business selling the same product as your company. They might be offering more variety than your company. What you have to do is find what the customer wants by doing a market research and produce what your customer is expecting from you. You would have to chop of your prices as well so customers buy your prices. There are many different pricing strategies as well, but I won’t be going into all that for now. If you have a competitor use market strategies and special offers to take over the market share. In simple words to increase your sales.

Well I guess this is it… a few things about business but not how to open multinational firm.

Mathematics is a mysterious subject but is not crap. Some times is to affable and some times it is not. Mathematics is not at all about accoutering oneself with a calculator that does every thing, nor are the people depending a lot on calculators should be given an accolade due to the simple fact “Mathematics needs acrid brains to acquire knowledge”. It also actuates many people; it improves the human’s acumen to think particular about a particular thing. Using calculators is too adverse and not at all recommended. People should be admonished about calculators as it decreases a human’s acumen. Mathematics is simple to adorn the brain with adroit things.

In general Mathematics, I think is an affable subject. Using of calculators or equipment like that is like amputating one’s brain and aftermaths of that may affliction as agent of the calculator. It is quite like amity but this is totally amiss. Old people are analogous to the new generation, people are far much better as they used their brains but now calculators. Using of brains anchors the reflexes of a human and it increases the capability of a human being thinking. A human’s brain can be burnished by doing things manually, blunders are better than correct answers in one go on a calculator. The celerity of calculators spreading is constantly increasing. Even youngsters have started to use calculator. This situation is definitely becoming censorious.

In simple words calculators should not be given to young people, as they then don’t use their brains, calculators should be deposed away from where they currently are and buried in demure to prevent the demising of natural power.

A person’s appearance is decided by the first thing we notice about that person. And the first thing we notice is some ones hair color, we first look at the person’s hair to actually decide which age group the person belongs to. Here comes a very important thing which is wrong in my opinion, people tell me that “I haven’t dyed my hair white but this is due to experience”. This is actually a very lame and stupid thing to say. It’s not the fact of being smart but it’s due to the metabolic reactions taking place in our body.

A few references from quotations:

Abigail Van Buren (1918-1978 ) said “Wisdom doesn’t automatically come with old age; nothing except wrinkles does. Its true wines improve with age, but only if the grapes were good in the first place”.

George Santayana (1863-1952) said “the wisest mind has some thing to learn”.

Marilyn Vos Savant said “To acquire knowledge one must study, but to acquire wisdom, one must observe”.

Menander (342 BC-292BC) said “it is not white hair that engenders wisdom”.

And Titus Maccius Platus (254 BC- 184BC) said “not by age but by capacity is wisdom acquired”.

There are many more of quotations you will find that say the same thing over and over again that white hair is due to age. Scientifically gray hair is typically a result of natural aging. Pigment in the hair shaft comes from special cells which are present at the roots of the hair. These are genetically programmed to make a certain amount of melanin at specific ages at some point in the aging process, these cells start making less and less pigment until the hair has no pigment, white hair will have no pigment where as gray hair will have some pigment but not as much as black, red, or brown hair.

Graying hair is usually a gradual process, you cannot prevent it and you cannot gain wisdom by dying you hair white. In case your hair goes white overnight, it’s typically a sign of alopecia areata. In case you’re a teenager and your hair goes white either your diet is not healthy or genetics come in play there.

In a nutshell gray hair is caused by aging and not by gaining of wisdom.

Ever thought of social networking, there are many websites currently helping people to build a social network , such as facebook, orkut, hi5, etc. But a group of Pakistanis have come up with the idea of social networking for Pakistanis, stop.pk. Not only is it a social networking website, but it also pays you as you gain points, By saying pay, i mean there are awards such as easy load, domain hosting,etc. It also has an online forum for discussion. Other features include blogging, uploading images to galleries, uploading videos, games, stops, events, classifieds, schools, polls, etc.

Stop.pk, their moto “Extremely Addictive Internet Lifestyle for Pakistanis”, you will definitely find this site a little addicting and a little different then normal social networking sites. How does the points thing work ? For posting any thing you get points, for example a topic in the forums gives you 2 points, posting a reply gives you 1 point. The points vary for different things. You will have to earn certain amount of points to be able to get the rewards. After getting sufficient points, to get a reward, there is a seperate section for the rewards.

Stop.pk also gives you a customiable profile which you can design you self, though the intial profile looks good, but people will definitely want to customize it, so the option for the customization is fairly good. There also is a rating option on the profile, people view and rate your profile after you have edited it. Stop.pk also offers n online chat room, which is flash based, which is quite simple. It also has an instant messenger.

There are currently eight unique users, each with their own respect, and responsibilites. They include Hawalati (a person in jail), panggeybaaz(a person who likes messing about), aam log(Ordinary people), Khas Log(Special people), Counselor, Nazim, Chairman and Administrator (the last 4 are administrating people). The difference between aam log and khas log is the space provided, for aam log it is 10 MB and khas log it is 100 MB, No accounts are for any charge , and you can upgrade from aam log to khas log for free of cost. It depends on you which mode will you go to, If you spam a lot, you might end up being made Hawalati.

The sign up process is very simple, and easy to follow, the after usage is not that complicated as well. The website is very simple, and light not a very heavy one, though ads are there. So the website in it’s content is very good. So the question comes up. Does it meet international standards? Well, to be frank not yet atleast, there are a few flaws, but the flaws are being fixed. It has improved a lot after I joined. So we can expect that it will improve more, and keep on expanding.

So in plain words, stop.pk is a very good effort from the Pakistanis, and hopefully it will expand.

Who says you don’t need to check the site of company which has made you motherboard. some times you have to check for latest hardwares, whats the new stuff in the market or to check the specifications of any hardware, or even get the latest driver for your hardware. So does the website of Intel come to the standard and style to meet user?

When you log on to www.intel.com , you will notice a beautiful web page loading. the color scheme is just beautiful, definitely a very professional site. you will have the option to select the location where are you using from. Then, below the location selector you have the user type selection, are you a business user, home user, or about Intel. The background is the map of the world. I selected my country (Pakistan) and it loaded some thing, since the language Intel Pakistan is in English, not much changed. But if you select a country which is not in English you will be redirected to a page which will be in the respected language for that country.

So, I kept surfing the site,I went to the personal section, that is meant for home users. As soon as the page loaded, i was amazed, the page was very neatly arranged, very well oriented. though a little heavy as compared to normal web pages. A flash object has been put below the Intel logo which says “Find the Processor for you”, If you click on this, a list with a little description comes up , you can click on the name of the processor to learn more about it.

If we look a little more down in the main page, we see there are 3 columns made for ease of usage. They are Products, Technology, and what’s new. You can navigate where ever you want to depending what do you want to do? I felt the site being user friendly, though a little heavier than normal sites. But Intel’s website is a very simple and elegant site and simplicity being defined in its own words.

Here is the final score for intel’s website

Organization: 9/10

Navigation: 9/10

Interface Design: 9.5/10

Speed: 8/10

Content Presentation 8.5/10

Total Score 9/10
