"Barracuda" by Heart
Lyrics
So this ain't the end, I saw you again today
I had to turn my heart away
Smile like the sun, kisses for everyone
And tales it never fails
You lyin' so low in the weeds
I bet you gonna ambush me
You'd have me down, down, down, down on my knees
Now wouldn't you? Barracuda
Oh
Back over time we were all tryin' for free
You met the porpoise and me, oh
No right, no wrong selling a song
A name whisper game
And if the real thing don't do the trick
You better make up something quick
You gonna burn, burn, burn, burn, burn to the wick
Ooh, barracuda
Oh, yeah
"Sell me, sell you" the porpoise said
"Dive down deep, now, save my head"
You
I think that you got the blues, too
All that night and all the next
Swam without lookin' back
Made for the western pools
Silly, silly fools
The real thing don't do the trick
No, you better make up something quick
You gonna burn, burn, burn, burn, burn it to the wick
Ohh, barra-barracuda, yeah
Ooh, hey!
"Strutter" by Kiss
Lyrics
I know a thing or two about her
I know she'll only make you cry
She'll let you walk the street beside her
But when she wants she'll pass you by
Everybody said she's lookin' good
And the lady knows it's understood
Strutter
Strutter
Strutter
She wears her satin like a lady
She gets her way just like a child
You take her home and she says "maybe, baby"
She takes you down and drives you wild
Everybody said she's lookin' good
And the lady knows it's understood
Strutter
I know a thing or two about her
I know she'll only make you cry
She'll let you walk the street beside her
But when she wants, she'll pass you by
Everybody said she's lookin' good, and the lady knows it's understood
Strutter - I know she'll just make you cry
Strutter - look out, that girl will just pass you by
Strutter - whoa oh, she gets her way like a child
Strutter - mama, that girl will just drive you wild
Strutter
I hope you all enjoyed these songs! :) See you all soon again! :D
Hey all my dear friends! :) How are you all? Welcome to my blog on this Gaming Saturday! :D Let's play some nice games! :D
Today I would like to share with you all two supercool open source games. So they are not only free for you to play, but to modify the code as well! :D I am sharing Armagetron Advanced, which is a clone the Tron, and OpenArena, a clone of the Quake III Arena.
Armagetron is a multiplayer game in 3d that attempts to emulate and expand on the lightcycle sequence from the movie Tron. It's an old school arcade game slung into the 21st century. Highlights include a customizable playing arena, HUD, unique graphics, and AI bots. For the more advanced player there are new game modes and a wide variety of physics settings to tweak as well.
OpenArena is a community-produced deathmatch FPS based on GPL idTech3 technology.
There are many game types supported including Free For All, Capture The Flag, Domination, Overload, Harvester, and more.
The graphics of this game are really cool. The gameplay reminded me of the classic Unreal Tournament 2000. It was real fun. Alas! I can;t install it on the new systems :/ But hey! This OpenArena is a good substitute, if not the best one :)

Introduction
Last time I discussed with you all the importance of Data Backup and how is it useful in case of disasters by helping you recover your lost data. Today, I am going to discuss with you all the tools required for the same. I am discussing a few tools each for Data Recovery and Data Backup for Windows and Mac OSX each in brief.
Windows Backup Tool: Acronis True Image Home

Acronis True Image (or simply True Image) is a brand name for a line of backup and disk imaging software for Microsoft operating systems, produced by Acronis. As disk imaging software, True Image can restore the previously captured image to another disk, replicating the structure and contents to the new disk, also allowing disk cloning and partition resizing, even if the new disk is of different capacity. The backups are in a proprietary and undocumented file format which uses a .tib filename extension.

A disk image file contains the exact, byte-by-byte copy of a hard drive, partition or logical disk and can be created with various compression levels on the fly without stopping the Windows OS and therefore without interrupting your business. These drive image files can then be stored in a variety of places, including various removable media such as CD-R (W)/DVD, Iomega Zip or Jazz Disks, etc. By the way, what am I saying? Jazz Disks? I accidentally mentioned a little too many names of external media I guess! :D

"Slow Ride" by Foghat
Lyrics
Slow ride, take it easy
Slow ride, take it easy,
Slow ride, take it easy
Slow ride, take it easy.
I'm in the mood, the rhythm is right,
Move to the music, we can roll all night.
Oooh, oooh, slow ride - oooh, oooh ...
Slow ride, take it easy
Slow ride, take it easy
Slow ride, take it easy
Slow ride, take it easy
Slow down, go down, got to get your lovin' one more time
Hold me, roll me, slow ridin' woman you're so fine
Woo!
I'm in the mood, the rhythm is right,
Move to the music yeah,
we can roll all night, yea.
Oooh, oooh ...
Slow ride, take it easy
Slow ride, take it easy
Slow down, go down,
I got to get your lovin' one more time
Hold me, roll me, slow ridin' woman you're so fine
Well, take me back down where cool water flows, y'all.
Let me remember things I love.
Stoppin' at the log where catfish bite,
Walkin' along the river road at night,
Barefoot girls dancin' in the moonlight.
I can hear the bullfrog callin' me, oh.
Wonder if my rope's still hangin' to the tree.
Love to kick my feet 'way down the shallow water,
Shoo fly, dragonfly, get back t'mother.
Pick up a flat rock; skip it across Green River.
Well!
Up at Cody's camp I spent my days, oh,
With flat-car riders and cross-tie walkers.
Old Cody, Junior took me over,
Said, "You're gonna find the world is smold'rin',
And if you get lost, come on home to Green River."
Well!
Come on home.
I hope you all enjoyed these songs! :) See you all soon again! :D
Hey all my dear friends! :) How are you all? Welcome to my blog on this Gaming Saturday! :D Let's play some nice games! :D
Super Mario 3 Mario Forever
Description
The kingdom of Toadstool lived in peace. Under the leadership of their benevolent ruling princess, the people led productive and prosperous lives.
Then one day, the evil reptilian Koopa king decided to take it all for himself. Backed by a legion of tanks and an army of bizarre creatures, he stormed through the kingdom and laid waste to everything in his way.
Toadstool stood little chance against his military might, but in the darkest hour, one particular plumber with a bushy mustache and red hat knew he could not just sit by and watch it all happen. He set forth to stop the Koopa and save the kingdom!

Game Controls
The default controls can be a little awkward. When you first start the game, use the arrow keys to go to "Options" and press "Enter". On the following screen, use the down arrow key on your keyboard to go to "Controls/Keyboard" and then press "Enter". That will take you to the "Controls" page where you can change the defaults for each action by pressing "Enter" and then pressing whatever key you want for that control. We recommend using the"Up, Down, Left, and Right" arrow keys for direction, "Spacebar" for jump, "Z" for Fire and Run.
Take the Jump!

Minecraft
Description
Minecraft is an open world that lets you do anything you want. Farming, mining, questing, breeding, brewing and crafting all await players in this game!
Truly Unlimited Replay Value
Minecraft's free form nature equals endless replay value. You will always be finding new goals and quests to undertake in this game. The only limit is your own imagination! Minecraft is never the same game twice.
Survival of the Fittest
In survival mode, the goal of the game is to survive and thrive in a fierce overworld full of danger and hunger. When your player is first born, your most pressing goal is to build shelter and survive the first night. After that, your character will create their first tool, which is usually a pickaxe. This newly acquired pickaxe will open up the wide world of mining and gathering raw materials. These raw materials may be crafted into a wide variety of useful items.
Gathering items and materials is one of the most time consuming and rewarding aspects of the game. Monsters often drop the rarest and greatest materials for crafting, so questing and battling mobs is a big part of the game.
Survival mode does have a definitive ending, but the game doesn't stop there. You may continue playing the game in this mode even after the core objectives have been met.
Create Anything in Creative Mode
There are unlimited blocks and resources in creative mode, freeing players to unleash their wildest imaginings. With no hunger or health bar to worry about you can focus on building just about anything you can dream up. Cities, roller coasters, sets from movies and TV shows and more are just waiting to be built. The possibilities are truly endless!
In addition to being essentially invincible, players can also fly in creative mode. Flying is both fun and practical, enabling you to move much faster than walking.
Gameplay Changes According to Your Moods
The world of Minecraft is directly shaped by the player who plays it. Go from farming one day to slaying monsters the next. It's all entirely up to you. Minecraft defies strict genre rules and allows you to let your imagination run wild!
Endearing Art Style
Few people are immune to the charming 8 bit inspired artwork in Minecraft. The intentionally blocky style lends itself easily to a wide variety of different creations.
Minecraft is a game that appeals to anyone with a creative streak. If you can think it, you can make it!
