Locationary

2010-01-23T00:03:00.010-06:00

Locationary is a new web site which is still in an invite only Beta testing period. It is a fun time waster as well as a good way to make some extra money. Membership is completely free; however, you must have an invite to join while Locationary is still in Beta. I have provided a link to an invite at the bottom of this post. Locationary hopes to take the place of local databases which charge hundreds of thousands of dollars for local data around the globe. The data entered by Locationary's users will be given free to anyone who wants it. This will make Locationary the prime place to get local data on a global scale. Applications and web sites will spring up quickly from the newly available free data. Why should you join Locationary? When you join, you have the ability to enter local places. The places can be anything from a local restaurant, doctors office, gas station, school, or any other place. When you add a place to the database, you receive 15 shares in that place. You can then add more data (for additional shares) to the place such as a phone number, zip code, parking options, payment options, products offered, etc. Once Locationary comes out of Beta, they will offer advertising packages to the locations added. These packages will allow businesses to post job openings, coupons, specials, and describe new happenings at their business. They can also pay for priority in the Locationary search engine. When a place advertises, 50% of the revenue goes to Locationary, and 50% of the revenue goes to shareholders in that place. So if a place spends $100 a month on advertising, and you own 30 of 60 shares in that place, you would earn $25 per month (50 dollars goes to shareholders and you would own half of the shares). Eventually, Locationary will give you the materials to be proactive in getting the businesses you add to advertise. Or you can just add shares and hope that they advertise in the future. You will also receive one ticket per share that you get. Tickets can be exchanged for gift cards and prizes, or the tickets can be entered into auctions for gift cards or prizes. If you have any questions or suggestions for the site, there is a forums to ask questions and get up to date with what is happening at Locationary. Locationary was created by the same people who created Moola. I have received over $250 in payments from Moola, so I can assure you this is not a scam. Locationary is still in Beta, so there are plenty of places to add. You better hurry, because thousands of places are being added daily. Make sure you can claim the prime real estate and earnings before others do.

Evony

2009-07-17T00:27:00.005-05:00

Evony is a browser-based medieval war and city building game. It is by far the best in its genre that I have come across. You can view one of your cities (where you build baracks, cottages, etc.), your city surroundings (where you upgrade resource fields, or the main map (where you can find NPC's or real people to attack). You start as a simple player with one city. As you gain title and medals from attacking and expanding, you can start to build more cities. Eventually, you can have up to 10 cities in your empire. There is a very helpful quest mode to teach you the basics of the game. There is also an in-game chat session where you can ask questions in the newbie chat or discuss strategy within your alliance chat. Alliances can grow to 100 people deep so war can be very fun if your alliance is helpful. There is a forums area where you can read guides or post smack talk. This game will keep you entertained for hours a day or you can play it for 15 minutes a day. How much you want to play is your choice. The game is free to play, but you can buy game coins for a slight advantage. One of the cool features of Evony is they give you a spin on a "prize wheel" every day where you can win some of the features that can also be bought. This helps to even the playing field between free members and paying members. You can be a force without paying a dime. There is a good defense system which allows you to build up your walls just like castles in the Medieval times. It is very possible to defend yourself against large attacks unlike other games. If you enjoy building up cities to use for war, this is the game for you. You will not be disappointed.

Cent Poker is run by the same people as Cent Sports. They are run on very similar concepts. Cent Poker gives you 100 poker chips to sit down and play 1/5 no limit hold-em. Turn your 100 chips into thousands and you can claim your share of the advertising cash. Cent Poker tells you what percentage of the chips you hold, and how that relates to the advertising money. They show you exactly how much incoming cash the site gains from advertisers, so you know how many chips you need to reach the 10 dollar cash out limit. Once your percentage of chips is worth more than 10 dollars, you just send them a message and they send you a check. It is as simple as that. If you lose your chips, they give you another 100 to start off with. They run tables with different blinds as well as sit and go single table tournaments. This is a great way to play poker for free. Maybe you will even work your way up into some serious cash.

Gladiatus is an addicting gladiator game which places you against thousands of others over the Internet. The point of the game is to simply build your gladiator character up to be the most powerful gladiator in the world. To prove your strength, you can challenge a gladiator up to 4 spots in front of you in the arena. Beat a stronger gladiator and move up until you reach the number one spot. There are several ways your gladiator can become more powerful. Besides fighting other players in the arena, your gladiator can go on quests, explore several areas such as an ancient temple or a wolf den, fight his way through dungeons, train attributes for battle, or work to gain some more gold. Each task will pay you gold as well as give you experience to move up in levels. You can use the gold you earn to buy weapons, armor, food, potions, or some time in training. Training allows you to build up your gladiator's basic statistics. Gladiatus is time based meaning you can only do so much in a certain amount of time. That way you can play for a few hours straight and let your character rest over night, or you can log on several times throughout the day. This game is a lot of fun and can be very addictive. Besides, who doesn't like slaying others in a simple fight to the death?

Pirates Online

2008-07-29T17:31:00.005-05:00

Pirates Online is a fun massively multi-player game which was designed by Disney. The story line follows the Pirates of the Caribbean movies and adds a little more. You design your pirate and go out into the huge world to make your name known. You can sink ships, board enemy ships, fight enemies on land, finish quests, and fight other pirates. It is easy to get started. You just download the software and open a free account. The catch is to unlock all of the features you have to upgrade to the premium account which is about $5 a month. This free version is great for a few lazy afternoons. You can still join a crew or guild and help other pirates defeat the enemies. There are enough quests and adventures to have a good time for several hours and then you can decide if you want to buy the premium account or just delete the software. I didn't buy it just because I don't have the time, but it is up to you. You will have a good time playing this game either way.
