Time Clock Limited Time Building (LTB) – Building Payout and Upgrade Cost – Crime City

So that last LTB was a bit short on time wasn’t it? Mine are still upgrading as a matter of fact. Well, before you can blink it’s time for another. This time around we have the Time Clock LTB which is a ridiculously tall version of Big Ben, but it has the benefit of having a tiny footprint. They initial purchase price is $52,500,000 with a payout of $176,649 every 6 hours. The 6 hour collection time will probably distress people, but if this isn’t your cup of tea, pick one of the other buildings that’s still available for a limited time. And don’t forget, you can have more than 2 of any of the buildings listed. I have 3 of the Haunted Churches and 3 of the Diamond Grillz. I will probably have 4 of each before the month is over, just because. The prize for completing this building is Clock Strikes Dead – 16,007 ATK 18,789 Def with […]

Upgrade Specialist and return of the LTB – Crime City

So I’m sure you’ve seen the new Upgrade Specialist for 100 gold and several of the old LTBs have made a return. The Upgrade Specialist allow you to upgrade an additional building. For something will mean 2 buildings can be upgraded at the same time and for others this will mean 3 can be upgraded. If you didn’t get the prize from the previous event you can pay the price and get that hood upgrading. I did indeed buy the Specialist with the surplus gold I have in my account. I did not spend real cash to do it. Nor would I, the game isn’t that important. I also have another Haunted Church completed and a Diamond Grillz in the works. That will be enough gold buildings for the time being. Kind of interesting they brought these back, I suppose not enough people were spending gold, so they brought back some of the old buildings knowing people would jump at […]

The Amazon Echo – Out of the box and onto the network. Hello Alexa.

When Amazon first sent me email about their new Echo device, I was quite intrigued and looked over the material with great interest. It’s a wireless and hands-free device to play music and to be used as a basic research tool. It hooks into your Amazon music account to play music you already own and searches through all the free music (if you’re a Prime subscriber). It can also answer standard questions such as "what is the weather like today", "what time is it?" and "set a timer for 30 minutes". And while on the surface it seems pretty simple, it turns out to be a whole lot of fun! Mine showed up on Friday so I spent the weekend tinkering around with it. First of all, when you open it up, it looks like you’re unwrapping a fine bottle of Scotch. I guess Amazon took some cues from Apple on how to package a device. Opening you’re new product […]

Making and Burning ISOs on the cheap and easy with ImgBurn, VirtualCloneDrive and Daemon Tools Lite

I like cheap. I like easy. When you combine the two, you have my interest. And so it goes for making ISO images. Since it’s only 2015 and Microsoft has just figured out how to write an ISO image, clearly you’re going to have to fend for yourself. But fear not, there are plenty of ISO apps out there. Sad part is, most of them want a king’s ransom in payment which just chaps me to no end. However, before you spend good gaming money on making ISO images check out these tools for creating and mounting ISO images for free and for less than $5. First we’ll look at cheap. To mount and image I’ll go with Old Reliable, VirtualCloneDrive. This comes to us by the fine folks over at Slysoft who are known for their prowess with DVDs. Install this free tool and mount multiple disks just by double-clicking. This is great for mounting images of Windows, Office […]

IMDisk Ram Drive and SteamTool Library Manager

There’s quite a bit of information about Ram Drives out there, but it seems somewhat dated. I found one combination that looks kind of interesting. It’s a free Ram Drive tool called IMDisk and a manager for Steam games called SteamTool Library Manager. I haven’t actually worked with these yet, but from what I can gather, the process works a little something like this. You first make and mount a new Ram Drive with IMDisk. This will carve out a portion of your memory and make it appear as a hard drive with drive letter. Next, the SteamTool Library Manager allows you to copy games from your Steam library over to the ram drive. It all seems pretty straightforward doesn’t it? Some of this information is kind of old so who knows how reliable any of this is. I might be inclined to give this a try, since it doesn’t seem that hard. It’s not quite the automated set up […]
