Time to Upgrade to Audials One 12 Just $19

The new version of Audials One has been out for awhile, but I haven’t jumped to the upgrade yet mostly because I’ve been waiting for a sale. The $39 upgrade price that the Audials site offers isn’t bad, certainly better than the $80 for a new copy, but that’s still a bit steep for me. Well, the waiting is over. Avanquest has come out with an offer to upgrade to Audials One 12 for a mere $19. You can’t for a lot more than that can you? In case you were wondering, Audials One is a pretty impressive Swiss Army Knife when it comes to digital media. It’s a combination of Audials MovieBox, TuneBite and RadioTracker. But it does more than just play music, videos and tune into radio stations. You can just as easily record music from sites like Pandora and Grooveshark, download videos from YouTube and extract the audio track as an MP3 and you can capture video […]

Behind the wheel of a fast automobile – Grid Autosport

Grid Autosport was on sale the other day and it was too tempting a deal to pass up. I’ve got Grid and Grid 2 from Steam as well as Dirt 2, 3 and Showdown and they’re all a hell of a lot of fun to play. Grid Autosport seemed to cause a divide though. Was it too arcade or was it too much simulation? I found it to be wildly entertaining! It is far less arcade style than the previous Grid games and is more closely aligned with the experience you get in F1 2013 or F1 2013. I spent almost all of my time in the Touring discipline and it’s quite challenging. It’s not easy to get and hold a high position in a race. Small mistakes will cost you a ton of time and wildly slinging the car with complete disregard for damage won’t get you anywhere. I saw my chance for an overtake in a tight turn […]

Minimize, Maximize and Close buttons not visible in Firefox with WindowBlinds

I’m setting up a new machine and have Firefox 33 installed with WindowBlinds 8. Problem is, the TitleBar goes transparent and the Minimize, Maximize and Close buttons all disappear for the application. Sometimes when you hover over them the button appears for a moment, but it won’t stay there. Even if you add an Exception inside WindowBlinds the problem is still there. This is an issue I’ve run into a couple a times and it’s so stupidly annoying. However, there is a simple fix. In Firefox, right-click near the Address bar and click Customize. You can also click View -> Toolbars -> Customize At the bottom of the screen and over to the left, click the Title Bar button Click Exit Customize and the buttons will now appear correctly You can also try changing the Browser Theme to something other than the default. Changing this around also seems to fix some issues with Tab transparency.

Epic Boss Event Prizes and Syndicate Rewards – Crime City

It’s a relentless stream of events in Crime City, almost to the point of being monotonous and a grind, but the prizes have been pretty high end. The pace is pretty grueling, but these rewards have had a big impact on my character. Not to mention this latest Epic Boss Event and the tiered reward structure. I got my 100 wins in within 48 hours. Life and work got in the way of me completing the 24, but I’m not going to quibble. I’ve managed to pick up the big gun, the big car, another big gun and now 4 of the Specter Faulds. Not a bad haul over these last few events, but damn I wish Gree would take a break. Do we really have to multiple event running every day of the week? Come on, how about some down time? How about just one event a week and maybe you take a week off? I’m all for playing […]
