Crime City belts out two Thanksgiving Day items

Just like the Halloween themed Haunted Mansion, Crime City has a Thanksgiving themed Gobble Gobble Buffet building. While it looks a little strange, it pumps out some pretty decent money if the initial numbers are valid. The cost in gold is a bit higher at 120 and there are no free upgrades. However, the upgrade time is pretty quick and the upgrade cost is pretty cheap relatively speaking. Level 1 – cost 120 gold, build time 5 mins, standard payout $3,800, tycoon $4180 Level 2 – cost $83,500, build time 1 hr, standard $11,400, tycoon $12541 Level 3 – cost $139,445, build time 3 hrs, standard $22,800, tycoon $25081 Level 4 – cost $232,873, build time 6 hrs, standard $38,000, tycoon $41,800 Level 5 – cost $388,898, build time 10 hrs, standard $57,000, tycoon $62701 Level 6 – cost $649,458, build time ?, standard $83,600, tycoon $91960 approx Level 7 – cost $1,084,595, build time ?, standard $117,800, tycoon $129,580 […]

Black Friday Sales galore and it’s not even Black Friday

Wow, the emails and alerts for sales are coming in fast and furious. Every damn company I’ve ever spent money with is sending me notices about the sales they’re having. Even Apple has dropped the price of their iPads. There are some good software deals out there, but the main thing I want are some new hard drives. With all the ripped DVDs, I need more space. I want a couple of 3TB drives dedicated to movies and TV shows. I want to be able to play any movie or show we have without having to find the disc. I need online media! Right now, the drives haven’t dropped in price or you can only get one. I need at least two. When they $99, I’ll grab a couple. Not sure who will make their move first, BestBuy or Amazon.

360 Panorama

Here’s another little photography tool that might be worth a look. I love those big panoramic pictures of the city, the landscape, the canyons, but I’ve never put in the energy to try and make them myself. It’s not like there aren’t plenty of tools out there to help with the process, I just can’t get them all together at the right time. Until now. With 360 Panorama and either the iPad or the iPhone, you can take panoramic pictures whenever you want. I was experimenting with this yesterday on my iPad, and it comes across surprisingly easy. You point where you want the image to start and press "Start". The screen is turned into a large grid and you work you way from side to side, following the lines to keep the lens as level as possible. When you’ve travelled enough, I the iPad takes another image and stitches it to the first. As you pan across all the […]
