Top 3 Ways To Earn Money Online

I'm currently a high school student and I'm a part of many activities in school that I have no time to get a job. And I'm pretty sure I'm not alone. There are some of you who look for ways to get a job with filled schedule. To tell you the truth, employers hire those who can be available when they summon them. However, I do make money now and then. I babysit, sometimes, but it's not consistent. Today, I'll tell you ways you can earn money online. And I've been using this ways for a long time and they are pretty legit.




  1. Swagbucks (http://www.swagbucks.com/)
    This site is simple to operate. The way this site works is that you do activity in there site, such as play games, watch videos, answer surveys, and shop online, and each activity you complete you get rewarded with "virtual" money. Yes, you read it right "virtual." The more activity you do, the more "virtual" money you earn. And what's good about this is that you can trade them for some actual money, giftcards, or a ticket (to enter some contests online). However, you do not make hundreds of dollars in one day, you actually need to spend some time in that site. One more thing about this site, I do not recommend doing some survey because some required giving your personal information.

  2. Google Adsense
    This you need to be 18 years old to be a part of. If you have a site or a youtube account then I suggest getting this. What are they exactly? Have you ever watch a youtube videos or go to a website and there are some ads on them. That is Google Adsense . When someone click on your ad, you get some money ranging from a penny to around couple of dollars. Now do not let this discourage you because this thing really adds up. To get started, start by making an appealing youtube account or website where you talk something people will listen too. Popularity somewhat equals greater earnings because you have a higher chance that your ads will be click.

  3. Amazon Associates (https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/)
    This is somewhat a version of Google Adsense. You have this ad that you create yourself about any product in amazon. Then, you post this on your website. The way you make money is when anyone buy the amazon product that is posted on your website. You get a percentage of the money, the higher the product sold, the more profit you earn. So just a word of advise: Put a product that you your website promote. For example, if your site is about technology, put video games ad.

    Here's a little example of Amazon Associates:

Cheap PC Build

I've been looking all over the internet for the cheapest yet powerful PC, mostly build for gaming. It should be powerful enough to play Battlefield 3, Metro, and high quality games. The build was from a youtuber, Austin Evans. He build a gaming computer for around $400. I know that there are other build cheaper than $400 but none of them showed proof like Austin did. And I think that if you go below this price range you won't be satisfy with the look and power even though you manage to play high quality game.

Here are the lists:

  • CPU- AMD ATHLON X4 750K
  •  Motherboard- MSI FM2-A75MA-E35
  • Graphics Card- XFX RADEON HD 7770 GHZ EDITION
  • RAM- 4GB CORSAIR VENGENCE
  • Hard Drive- 500GB WD CAVIAR BLUE
  • Power Supply- 430W CORSAIR CX430
  • Case- NZXT SOURCE 210

Next-Gen Upcoming Games

Playstation 4 and Xbox One is on it's way and soon many new games are coming. With the new console's top notch quality and performance, game's graphics will be phenomenal. I'll list top 10 upcoming games that I really look forward to and keep in mind that these are my opinion.

10. Call of Duty: Ghost

"
I been a fan of this franchise so not mentioning it is stupid. However, I put this game on the bottom of the list because the game have not impress me as much as they did when Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare arrive. Even though this game add new features, they usually are boring or incomplete. For example, from the gameplay they announce that they can control a dog....and??? This game raise the bar in First Person Shooter Game and it is always a great game to have, I just wish they have more features to offer.





9. Battlefield 4
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Battlefield_4.jpg
To tell you the truth, i have not play this franchise but from what I've been hearing this game is a blast. I know some you are angry right now because I put this before COD: Ghost. The reason I did that is because from what I have seen in videos and websites that Battlefield 4 have some cool features that I can't find in their rival such as drivable vehicles, parachuting, destructible objects, and so much more. I'm very excited to try this out and with the next-gen console. It will look sick!

8. Mirror's Edge 2
The first Mirror's Edge did not disappoint with there cool, unique concept. The futuristic look is so amazing but what I love about it is that you have full control of what you can do. Climb buildings, slide down floors, jump rooftops to rooftops, anything you can imagine. The only thing I don't want in the new game is the repetitiveness I felt in the first game. Don't get me wrong i love parkour but a change or other activity won't hurt the game.

7.The Crew
I have not heard this game till like yesterday. Being a racing fan I fall in love in this game the first time I seen it. This is basically Grand Theft Auto combine with Gran Turismo. You can ride alone or play with your friends to take down or capture a vehicle. And what really get me hype up is that this game have a MASSIVE world. They literally have the size of United States, like you can literally drive form Nevada to Florida like you would in real life. If you are a racing fan you need this game. Check out the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4JnshyKOOQ

6.Grand Theft Auto 5
If you you are part of the video game world, you would know this famous game. This game is freaking amazing, This game focus on player's choice so you can do whatever you want. You can scuba dive, fly a plane, and drive any cars you desire. I know this game's concept is getting too repetitive to some but to most players they want the concept to stay because that what makes this game great. 




Onto some good stuff....

"
5. Assasin's Creed 4: Black Flag/ Batman Arkham Origins
I can't pick which one so I let you decide what game deserve this spot. Both of this game is pretty amazing. I'm just new to both franchises but once I played the game I am hook. They both have great graphics,big open world, great story, (To tell you the truth I learn more history just by playing Assassin Creed than my history teacher) but what I love about this game is the combat. There combat system is just truly amazing and whats more is that there are a lot more to explore and see in this game.

4. Splinter Cell: Blacklist
The moment I seen the gameplay I knew i need to have it. You are given with these cool gadgets and a mission. And it's up to the player how would you play this game. You can charge in and destroy everything in your path or be a shadow where the only time they see you is the moment they die. You can play this game however you want it. The multiplayer is really interesting to me: assassins vs mercenary. I'm really looking forward to play this game.

3. Uncharted 4
Yes, you read it right,"Uncharted 4." I know there is not a real announcement about the release of this game but I've been hearing this rumors that it will soon come out next year or at least announce it. I'm a HUGE fan of the uncharted series and I'm really hoping this game will come out soon.

2. Infamous: Second Son
I'm so hype about this game. I thought after the 2nd Infamous game this franchise is dead but man good thing I was wrong. You play as a rebel who can manipulate smoke (but from what I've heard you will unlock more powers). However, there are some features that I'm not sure about such as if morality will be a part of the game. The downside about this game so far is that its PS4 exclusive so it sucks for those who have Xbox One.



Drum roll please.....

"
1.Watch Dogs
Even though this game will come out on current console, I'm planning to buy it for PS4 (Yes, I'm a Playstation guy). The reason is that the graphics will be much more amazing because of the next-gen hardware. This took my number one spot for one reason, they have everything I ask for a game. You want gadgets, the game have it. You want to drive anything, this game have it. You want to hack, this game have it. This game have a little of everything in all games listed above. I can't wait, what about you?

Honorable Mention: Division, Thief 4, Killzone.

Computer Build: The Basics


Building a PC is one of the best things I love to do. It's really satisfying specially after fully completing the process. However, it require tons of research to fully understand how to build a PC. I watch many guide videos, they were great but I when they start talking about the parts I got lost. Today, I'll be showing you this small guide on the parts of a PC and what do they do.






CPU-Think of this as the heart of your computer, without it your pc won't run. This is the most important and ,usually, the most expensive part of the system so be careful when handling it. (It's also EXTREMELY fragile)







Motherboard- I'm not going to details about each part (but I might do it later on).This is basically where you connect every piece of the pc. This is also where you can find the ports, such as the USB ports, the GPU ports, etc. Keep in mind that some motherboard contain more or less ports than the regular so research first before buying.




Graphics cards- If you are a hardcore pc gamer pay close attention. Motherboard contain an "integrated" graphics card, meaning its built in and ,in my opinion, it sucks. It can only handle low spec games. However, you can purchase and install a new graphics card. This will boost up the quality of your game so you can play new games in the highest quality without any frame rate issue. Just a heads up, the quality and performance differ between each cards.







RAM- This is basically your mini,temporary storage. This allow you to open many programs,software, or internet without them slowing down. The amount you need may vary. If your in coding or video editing you might need to buy more of these.






Hard Drive/SSD- Nothing too complicated, If RAM is your temporary storage Hard Drive/SSDis like your permanent storage. This is where you put all of downloads, pictures,videos, etc.










Cooling supply- As the name suggest this allow your pc to not overheat. They supply you this along with the CPU but you can buy different one to maximize the cooling process and there's even a water cooling supply (cool right!)











Optical Disk Drive- This isn't necessary but I highly recommend buying it because software, or games, such as Norton, PhotoShop need disk drives for you to install it (but if your like the others who downloads eveything online you don't need it ;)).





Sound Cards- Again this is integrated in the pc and you might not even need it but if your like me who is likes games and hate low quality sounds you might want to buy this.






Case- This is where you hold everything. You can pick out any type of case you want because it does not affect your computer's performance, for the most part.






Power supply- I put this in the bottom for a reason. I highly recommend buying this last. The reason being is that every piece of hardware in the of pc need a certain amount of power to run . I suggest adding all the hardware's needed power first then get the power supply that fit the hardware.


Keep in my mind that if you want to get a high performance computer you need to spend a good amount of money (I would say around close to a thousand). But don't let this stop you from building instead is buying. Trust me, in a long run, you will save tons of cash because you don't need to keep buying new pc every year, you can just buy the replacement parts and add it on.

Low Spec Games


Link:"http://www.wallpaper777.com/wallpapers.aspx?typeid=1206"
Many PC games, especially MMORPG, have gotten a lot of attention. People start playing this big games such as TERA rising, Age of Wushu, Neverwinter, and so on. However, many of this game need a powerful computer to get the full experience. That is why I'm making a list of games that can run an old yet popular MMO games. Keep in mind that this is my opinion and that I'm not going on any particular order.

Link:"http://www.bamfas.com/2012/03/spirit-tales-starts-closed-beta-on-march-15/"
  • Spirit TalesSpirit Tales is a fantasy MMORPG where players get to be a cute chibi characters. The game consists of six classes: shaman, fighter, archer, assassin, warrior, sorcerer. What cool about this game is that each classes have their own "Spirit Transformation" which you can customize, a little. The transformation gives your character a buff ,that differs between classes, for a short amount of time. The game also include other features such as pets and achievements. The downside about this game, however, is that there's a lot of repetition and that it's very similar to other games out there (But lets be honest most games copy each other.)
  • Mabinogi
    I haven'y try this game so what I say is from what I researched. Mabinogi is a 3D fantasy MMORPG
    Link:"http://mabination.com/threads/40679-Mabinogi-Wallpaper-Thread"
    that really focus on player's choice. The player can choose on how they want to level up. They can fight and kill monster, create something, and others. Mabinogi also have this aging feature that change your character's appearance over time. And from what I researched the game have a great story line its filled with death, betrayal and a lot more.
  • Maplestory
    Maplestory is one of the oldest MMORPG I know. A cool side scrolling game, consistent updates,
    Link:"http://bleachsoulevolution.com/forum/index.php?/topic/2886-maplestory/"
    hardcore features (like the max level is 250!) might be the reason this game is still alive. The game contain many unique classes, including Demon Slayer, Cannoneer, Mercedes and so on. Even though the game is old don't be discouraged on trying it, over millions of people are still playing the game. If you just starting to be a part of the MMO world this is a great game to begin with. The only con of this game is that its a grind base gameplay.
  • Elsword
    If you love anime or manga this might be the game for you. This 2D fast-pace MMORPG have many contents, including pets, titles, and achievements. However, what makes this game popular is there combat system. You are given many skills so there are limitless combos you can think of and the skills keeps getting more powerful as you level up plus you get this buff once in a while that really crank up your abilities.
    Link:"http://hdwalldesk.com/elsword-wallpaper-hd.html/elsword-wallpaper-hd"
    And if you like playing alone you can play by yourself but if your a social player (hopefully, most of you are) you can invite friends. The character is gender-lock but the customization is pretty decent. You can customize your character enough to be unique.





  • Dragon Nest
    My favorite game in this list. This game contain features that I like from othe
    Link:"http://photo.mmosite.com/dragonnest/picfile/2011-03-28/718iw4812q767t2.shtml"
    r games with an upgrade. This game contain less repetitive gameplay and many skills to choose from. Even though the game is gender-lock, this game have many contents that the looks of your character is the least of your concern. The combat is not just smashing button to kill your opponents, you need to be smart and use the dodge system but every monster is different so you need to create different strategy to defeat them. The only downside I can think of is the graphics, because of the game focus on dynamic movement, and many cool unique animation and with the low graphics you don't get the full thrill of the game.

There are many games out there that run on old computers (Keep in mind my computer is like 5 to 6 years old) but this five games appeal to me the most.

League of Legends Overview

League of Legends is not your typical free MMO. Its a real-time strategy game which you have to destroy you opponent's base, or Nexus [as they call them] . However, that is not that simple [well, unless you are playing with noobs]  beacuse base is protected by turrets, minions, and champions.

Link:"http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Summoner's_Rift"
The classic mode, Summoner's Rift. The map consists of three lanes:Top, Mid, Bot. and between those lane there is the jungle where certain monster gives you experience and buffs. In a real game, they are usually protected by five 'champions,' or the characters of the game. The players can choose from a wide variety of 'champions'. You can be a deadly assassin, a cute little school girl,  or a brute wolf. Also, every single champions have different ability so in a team, players can choose many combinations that can compliment each other's strength.

If you are not a strategy kind of guy/gal there are other game modes you can play. ARAM is an all out war where all five players are in a brawl where you have limited healing potential [unless if you die, you restore your health] and if that's not difficult enough, the game gives you a random character to play with. Another mode is Dominion, its basically somewhat of a replica of Call of Duty's Domination. Your objective is to hold five bases as long as you could up until the "bar" reaches its limit.
Link:"http://wall.alphacoders.com/big.php?i=331656"

The game also have a leveling up system in and out of the game. To clarify, in-game leveling is simple you just kill minions, or champions to gain some experience and once you level up you can learn or improve a new skill, plus its gives you gold to purchase item that boost your champion's abilities. Out-game leveling is pretty decent you have to keep playing games to level up. The higher the level, the higher ability or buffs you can add on to your champions. However, that doesn't mean that if you are ten levels below your opponent your weak. This game focus more on skill level not game level [I know its sounds confusing].

Overall, the game is top-notch. If you are looking for a hardcore competition, a low-spec game, or just a new type of MMO this is your game.

What is Game Tech.Inc

I know its a stupid question but since its my first post(thats right, I'm a newbie) why not just make some introduction. The purpose of my blog is to provide tips, tricks, and everything in between about technology(Not just games). I could make a post on how to complete a mission on a certain game, write a review about games and movies in a teen's point of view(Yes, I'm still in high school xD), what type of games should you guys and girls play or try out, show you how to fix a computer or make it better, and any other suggestion you guys can think of.
