Sharing the same taste

When was the last time you recommended an awesome series to a friend only to get the reply - "I didn't like it at all"? Accepting that other people don't share the same tastes as you is one of the hardest things imaginable. Why doesn't the person like what you love, why do they hate something you so firmly believe in? While you go on explaining to them how the good the thing is, how intense it is, the simple fact is, they just don't like it. You cannot do anything to change their preferences. And it feels that they have been denied something which is very harmonious and perfect. All the while they're oblivious to the fact that they're missing something so great and powerful.

Finding people who share almost the same tastes as you is very difficult and rare. It is so rare in fact, that many mistake it for love. Liking the same things is an icebreaker in conversations, it can make or break your case. But some tastes are just not meant to be forced. You cannot force that AMAZING band on your friend, they have to like it on their own. It's sort of like naming a pet. No matter how interesting the names you suggest, the person is going to choose his own favorite name, even if it sounds dull to you.

When you have someone that shares the same tastes, you have someone to talk to. Liking the same unique thing together is even more special. But what happens when anything you can talk about has to be something mutually liked? You're building up someone a lot mentally by projecting so many things onto this one person. 

There's a difference between liking the same things, and liking the person. So when someone doesn't like the same thing as you, it's their preference, and the point of preferences is that you don't have to explain them.

Humble Bundle: Every Gamer's Utopia

That's the entire gaming community coming together

Imagine going to a bookstore full of wonderful underrated books and you could pay whatever you wanted for them. The best part, the money would go to a charity.

Now this is not happy illusion, but an actual thing..except with video games. The thing is real innovation and demands applaud from every part of your soul. In a world full of greedy companies and cunning gaming corporations, indie developers show the way towards freedom.

This is one of those things that makes you respect online strangers even more. How long have you thought that a particular game was great but not priced accordingly? Now you can make open payment a reality.

WHAT IS HUMBLE BUNDLE

The concept is pretty easy to understand as well as unique. They promote a game every week(for Mac, Windows and Linux) and people an pay anything they want for the games in that period. The limit for acquiring Steam keys is a measly 1$ and that too because some spammers had to try and ruin the system and fake create thousands of accounts to pay .01$(the previous limit) and get steam keys for other purposes.

You can choose how much of the money you pay goes to charity and how much to the developers(plus some tip for those of you feeling extraordinarily generous).
There are multiple ways to pay for games and they are all quite simple. After that, it's a free ride to a better conscience AND an awesome game!

USER FUNDED

The developers earn money on their games during these few days only by the generosity of the internet gamers. Also, people who may have wanted the game but thought the price wasn't just, can now pay what they think is reasonable, or up to their capabilities. Even better, the same people can determine what the developers earn and what the charities get.

THE GAMES
I hear your skeptic mind saying-'But these games must not be good enough'. For those of you who may yet have doubts, I present to you these intuitive games that the company has allowed custom payment on for in the past couple of years:

Yes, this game too

• Amnesia: Dark Descent(now 9.99$)

Temple Run 2 Tips, Tricks And Cheats

Imangi recently released the sequel to its wildly famous and addictive game Temple Run, 'Temple Run 2'. The game is an endless maze running madness and quite fun to play. The addition of zip lines and mine carts help break up the endless running. The game was downloaded more than 20 million times in less than a week and is free for both iOS and Android players.  The world in Temple Run 2 is a much richer and vibrant environment. Considering that they left a lot of some more features for an early released, updates with new features will be available soon.

Here are some tips for playing Temple Run 2

Time your jumps to get the green diamonds
Temple run 2 has more scenary variations than its predecessor. The green diamonds are very important for indefinite resurrection. One of the main aspects is the sloping track with a diamond on the peak. It is very easy to jump a bit early due to the illusion of speed and height and miss them. Time your jump perfectly and jump just before you reach the peak.  


Keep the car tilted
Temple Run 2 has underground carts that make it even more fun to play. But they are just as difficult to master. If you don't tilt at the right time, you may collide with the walls and die a crushed death. One easy tactic is to always keep the cart tilted in one direction to have a 2:3 chance of survival. 

The shield is useless, Magnet is resourceful

You can enable a powerup after you fill the coin meter. The default powerup is the shield which is almost useless as it only works with rollers, tiles and small walls. All of which are pretty easy to avoid. The best powerup you can get early is the Magnet, that way, you can earn coins as well as focus on playing instead of collecting gold.

Upgrade Priority

The order which was the best for me was:

Coin value> Coin Magnet> power meter> Save me reducer> pickup spawn> Boost distance> Shield duration

Cheats And Glitches

Note:All of these are available in Version 1 without Jailbreak or any other kinds of hacks.

Even though it's been only a week since Imangi released Temple Run, there are already a few glitches that can be exploited.
