For those who love to play billiards like me this is a cool MMO (Massive Multiplayer Online) game developed by GameCampus. Cue Online brings you to a new and unique billiards game play where you can play anything among the popular 8-ball pool, 9-ball pool, the classic snooker, simple 14-1 or the 3-cushion game.
The game play is a lot different and more realistic from the usual billiards game the we see assisted by a line. This game offers a more realistic blend by making it a complete 3D environment where you can see the balls from any angle before taking a shot and other things like chalking the cue before taking a shot. Players choose from various characters, each with a different distribution of five key stats.
Each matches you win adds up to your skill points which you can use to increase your abilities like shot power, accuracy, bridge etc.
Visit now and start playing this cool game.

Warning - This tutorial uses overclocking to run GTA 4. Overclocking will usually void the manufacturer warranty for your Video Card. Hence if you don't want to void your warranty of take any damages (by chance) then I urge you to not carry out this method. I take no responsibility for any hardware damages.
Two days ago I wrote a post about the performance of Grand Theft Auto 4 (GTA IV) on GeForce 8400 GS
I get an ugly 12 fps and hence I was not able to play the game like all others. The satanic idea of overclocking flicked my mind today so I thought to break the warranty of my 2 month old video card today. To my goodness it worked !! I now get a 22 fps which is enough for me to play the game. Normally a human eye can read up to 16 frames a second so anything more than 16 fps will look normal, so you dont need to wait for 30fps to play the game.
The card is performing almost good with no extra cooling unit required. The temperature of my video card normal ranges between 55-60 °C. Overclocking didn’t affect a lot with current temperature at 64 °C after playing the game for 2 hours. FYI its summer over here and the room temperature is 35 °C.
Okay, install the latest drivers and ntune utility. Now reboot your PC. There’s some overclocking action next.
Go to Start > All Programs > Nvidia Corporation > Nvidia Control Panel > Performance
You get to see something like this hopefully
Click on Adjust GPU Settings on the left panel
Now you get the the over clocking settings on the right. Make the settings like this (thats what I made), don’t make them too high or you might end up burning your video card.
Click on Custom frequencies
Set the Core Bus at 585 Mhz
Set the Memory Bus at 465 Mhz
Click on the test button
Wait for a while till the test is performed. Once the test is successful, click on Apply.
Hold on its not over yet. Now click on Launch Nvidia Monitor Utility.
Frequently keep an eye on your card’s temperature. Launch the game and enjoy.

Yesterday I borrowed the DVDs of GTA IV (mind you the game is approx 14 GB and comes on 2 dual layered disks) from my friend for the sake of testing it, if it works then I would have bought the new game. I really hoped this would work good on my PC atleast with the lowest graphics but to my disappointment the game is a flop even on considered good PCs.
My PC is capable of running everygame including but not limited to Crysis and Half Life 2. But GTA IV makes me look my PC aged. I upgraded my PC just 2 months ago and it doesnt seems to run GTA 4. How sad is that. Anyways I ahve added the benchmark results here.
Game Statistics
Average FPS: 14.03 (wtf is that, I play Counter Strike at 90fps lol)
Duration: 37.27 sec
CPU Usage: 73%
System memory usage: 48%
Video memory usage: 55%
My Computer Specification
AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6000+ (Running at 3.1 Ghz)
4 GB DDR2 Running at 800 Mhz
NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS (w/ Turbo Cache Enabled 512 MB)
Any one like to buy a GeForce 8400GS out there ?
