Dead Rising 2 teaches us one thing: an US mall is as big as 3-4 football stadiums, one beside another one. This detail must surely be a satire on worldwide consumerism however one will not have the necessarily time to analyse this fact while there are literally zillions of zombies that must be beheaded using different weapons like gardening tools, killer toys, garbage cans and improvised rocket launchers.

This game has one small problem: one might get bored while killing those creatures moving so slow for 5-6 hours per a campaign, but for those manic about violence, yes, it’s fantastic. Another cool thing is that the player can dress with all kind of clothes found in stores, skills can be developed as well as knowledge and all other features the character posses. Dead Rising 2 has many customisation options, it’s not so pretentious, it’s fun and stupid in the same time, but it’s loosing value when it comes to atmosphere, story and complexity.

Second thing, Dead Rising 2 seems to be an Asian parody somehow while the humor that is presented is not brought in the same formula or convention as one might be expecting. Sometimes the non-intended scenes are more humorous than the ones created with the intention of making players laugh.

When it comes to zombies, they come in all shapes and they are both men and women. We have retired people, anorexic ones, fat ones, of course, all past people transformed in zombies. You are Chuck Greene, a character falsely accused of the recent epidemic disaster, forced to prove your innocence while fighting your way through the living dead enemies. The player interacts with the leader of CURE group, a team trying to keep your daughter human while administrating every morning a dose of ZOMBREX antibiotic, for three days until the cavalry arrives.

The story has many endings, all depending on how many missione you successfully accomplish and what decisions you take during the game. The bad thing is there is no auto-save, a feature many modern games lack. The weapons are great indeed, you might use a baseball bat decorated with nails or drills, chainsaws, MMA gloves as well decorated with nails and many other goodies.

Each level’s boss is somehow powered by a stupid AI giving them an advantage that could translate in many hours spent to defeat one. The fights become interesting when your character gains additional skills, but many combos used by those psycho zombies can be avoided only by luck or technical game’s errors.

The best part of this game is the crowd control. You can pick up and throw around anything that is not nailed or glued to the earth or shelves and with the presence of wheelchairs, car batteries or even trolleys the fight becomes more interesting. Of course, CURE organisation has nothing to say against your violent practices while well, it must be as fun for them as it is for the player.

Text a loan at eye watering APR

The weekend has arrived once again and I decided that it would be wise to stay indoors this Saturday night, there was very little money in my account, and I didn’t want to put myself in a situation where I would be totally penniless. I wanted to leave a little something in there for food, electricity and other bits and bobs. Besides lately I’ve been tying to live frugally and only buy things that are actually necessary.

About 2 hours later after watching some seriously boring Saturday TV, and a bit of peer pressure from my mates, I decided that I would go out and just live on baked beans until next week when I got paid.

So imagine my absolute horror when I reached the cash point and found that my balance was £0.32…Oops, I guess that £150 leather jacket wasn’t exactly a necessity. But still I thought there would at least be a couple quid still I hadn’t realised that I had spent quite so much. The cab was going to be here any minute, my friends were all ready to go and I had no money. Not only was this a really embarrassing situation, it was also very frustrating and annoying.

That’s when one of my friends suggested TxtLoan, You simply send them a text, and within minutes your account is credited with £100. Easy. A little too easy I thought. So I looked into it a bit further.

I found that £100 needs to be paid back within 7 days in order to escape paying any extra charge, however, on day 8, £110 needs to be repaid which works out to be monstrous 994% APR.

If for any reason I find myself unable to make repayments by day 9, TxtLoan will send me a reminder which comes with its own £25 “administrative and transaction fee” which will increase the amount repayable to £135. All of a sudden this loan isn’t looking too attractive, and it gets worse.

If by day 11 I’m still not able to pay the loan back, I’ll be sent another reminder and again charged £25 administrative and transaction fee. This pushes the total loan amount to £160. By day 16 I’ll owe TxtLoan £180, and by day 23 I’ll have to pay £200.
Txt loan say “Day 46…if the loan is not paid back in full, we refer the loan to our collection department which incurs an additional £46 administrative charge and transaction fee and we may refer the loan to our collection partner.”

The company appeals to people who are living from pay cheque to pay cheque and young people who don’t really think about when they actually have to pay the money back. The company comes down very hard on customers who can’t afford to pay the money back straight away.

Although the company claim that they are there to “help people overcome day-to-day cash flow problems, they also encourage people like me who may need it for a night out, for fun or to go shopping.

Text loan only declines people who have been declared bankrupt or been subject of debt collection within the last 18 months. Other than that anyone, no matter how poor their credit status is and regardless of how much debt they are already in, has access to £100 to get themselves into even more debt.

There has always been pay day loan companies and quick cash lenders about but this must be the fastest and the most expensive.

All that information quickly put me off the night out, the programme that I had initially deemed boring suddenly became very interesting, so I wished my friends a great night and waved them goodbye, and opted for a quiet, debt free night in front of the TV.

Online Dating Mature 50 Plus Singles

The internet has become an indispensable part of daily life with even individuals in their fifties and sixties taking to it actively for their daily tasks. It is not surprising therefore that this wonderful tool is also being used aggressively to make friends as the opportunities present them selves very easily at just a click of the mouse.

Senior people in their fifties and above who were hitherto handicapped to some extent in finding friends due to physical limitations have welcomed this technological advantage and are able to now connect with people of their age and preferences. It is not easy for an over fifty person to walk into a bar or social club and strike conversation with somebody or look for a date.

Most of them have reached a stage in life where they are reasonably well settled having brought up their kids and made them self sufficient. However, some of them suffer from loneliness due to separation from their spouse due to death or divorce and would like to seek the company of somebody who would be a good friend to them. These people are not looking for marriage or sex per se and just want a good friend for company. Having got emotionally scarred from an unhappy relationship with their existing partner, some of these people are chary of getting into another relationship, but have no choice due to the dreadful loneliness they face.

Many mature dating internet sites have cropped up to encourage such kind of mature dating or senior dating wherein people try to look for like minded friends. These sites know the difficulties of dating for these senior individuals and are trying to make it convenient for them through the process of matching profiles and tastes without the person having to leave the comfort of his home. Since these sites concentrate specifically on this age segment, it becomes easier for somebody over fifty to look for a partner or friend without having to sift through many irrelevant profiles. Moreover, for the uninitiated, these sites guide them step by step on how to create a profile and get into the process of finding their companion.

Having registered at the site and found some compatible members, the next challenge is to ascertain the like mindedness of the individuals identified. This is the most crucial parameter and the foundation on which a mature dating relationship can be forged. After all, like mentioned before, people over fifty are not looking for casual flings and are very serious about seeking a good friend and without this factor of like mindedness, the relationship is unlikely to sustain. Hence common interests, similar mental make-ups and desires have to be the starting point for any such relationship to develop.

If mental compatibility can be achieved, the rest is easy. The relationship can develop into something deeper over time and it is entirely up to both the members as to how they wish to progress on that front. At the same time, at any stage in the relationship both of them need to possess the maturity and humility to let go in the event of one of them wanting to opt out of the relationship for any reason.
