The name bitcoin has been appearing online for quite some time now. And unless you've been under a rock you have an idea of what this is. Bitcoin is one of the new cryptocurrency on the market as of now. Cryptocurrency Is like digital money but in a secure code. The reason it is now extremely popular is because of the price value has shoot up recently. And now that everyone has been trying to jump on board, publicity on this has blown up on social media.A few months ago the price of bitcoin was less than 1000 dollars, since then the worth of one has risen to 14 thousand as of now. Its peak in value was on December the 17 of 2017 with the worth of 19 thousand dollars. By far Bitcoin is the most known of all the cryptocurrencies. But as of now its future is not looking so good. With the way things are going now bitcoin value is going down by the day.

One of the few games I play during my free time is one of the most known call of duty games, black ops 2. This game was the was the push to the more technological side of things in this first-person shooter series. The feel of everything is different from the first game but still has the nostalgia. This game featured a wide range of new guns and improved the class customization to make the game play feel unique varying on how you want to play. The story mode is the first to have "decision making" and alternate ending as you progress trough, which is depended on how you carry your team in battle in certain missions. Multiplayer is practically the same as others except for a new edition of league play, a mode where you play against people from around the world all at the same skill level as you. They games you would play would be randomized and the more you play the higher your league skill and rank went up. Zombies is has the same game play as black ops but with better maps and higher AI zombies. Call of Duty Black ops 2 is a fan favorite to most at this day, the uniqueness is what i love about the game as well as others, and I know that this is a game that will not be forgotten.
Over the past few weeks I have been in a conflict over which capture card I should buy. The choices were the Elgato HD60, or the Roxio HD Pro.
First thing that came in mind when researching these two were the price labels, the Elgato HD60 is around $150, on the other hand the Roxio HD Pro is around $100, just a $50 dollar difference. But instead of being the normal person and buying the cheapest offer, I decided to research more on these two. First the system requirements, for Elgato, the latest download of the software required a 64 bit system, which was an immediate loss for me considering that I have a 32 bit. Elgato has a 32 bit download but it's a older version. On the other hand Roxio's software has a latest 64 and 32 bit download for the computer. By now i'm on Roxios side. Next was setup, and to my surprise the were both technically the same. Roxio has just an extra push having included the component cables to enable older games to be recorded. Lastly was peoples reviews on them and which one they liked better. The results were almost half and half having the Elgato come up on top but Roxio be put as a close second due to personal reasons. So then came my decision. Which was the Roxio HD Pro. The price value was less then the Elgato HD60 wich can help me save up for other things, the easy setup and ability to play older games was a must since I want to collect older games and enjoy them, and the reviews were mostly the same or close to the Elgato. But how about you? which one would you pick?

For me, this is the first professional painting software I've experienced on desktop. The program is a simple to use painter for beginners wanting to draw stick figures and such, but can be useful to experts that have a knack for digital drawing and painting. I found this software because it was listed in a presentation that my instructor showed us while doing his lecture. My curiosity spiked and I wanted to see how a digital painter does his work, so i proceeded to download Krita. Krita is not a software that needs advanced system requirements and provides a 64 bit and 32 bit download, lucky for me since i have a 32 bot computer. When first opening the software it will present you with a "help" page that shows you links to their website including the 'getting started" and "help", in the background is going to be the application that lets you paint. After skimming over the getting started file i got stared and realized very quickly that using a mouse to draw isn't the best tool to paint with. I then looked over graphics tablets that are cheap but highly rated and came to the conclusion of the "Ugee M708 Ultra-thin Draw Digital Graphics Drawing Painting Tablet Pad". hopefuly i can save up in the future to get this item.
