The Law and Physic of Trading by N00bKefka

Before I m going to talk about the Law and Physic of Trading. Let me give your a brief introduction of Trading itself. Trading is whereby people uses the stuffs they don't need to exchange for the stuffs they need. The very first form of trading is call 'bartering'. I m pretty sure you guys who are reading it knows what it is. Then, here come currency, one of the best invention in history. It serve as a medium to gauge how much the goods are worth using money. Hoho, correct me if I m wrong, I m pretty sure everyone needs money. Believe it or not, even though currency is invented thousand of years ago, bartering still haven't go obsolete up till today.

Now, the first rule of the Law and the Physic of Trading (also the most important one) is whoever who offer the trade first will have the disadvantages. Hey, there's always a reason for why they use the word "offer" instead of "demand". Why do I say that? Because normally people trade because they are desperate for the goods, they need them more than you. So remember, whether if it real life, game or trading cards, feel free to bargain and negotiate when someone tries to sell you something or wants to buy something from you. It will be foolish if you don't negotiate for the price that have been offered to you. Believe me, if any retail shop allows bargaining, I will do so!

Here comes rule No.2, he who offer the trade always finds means to scam. Oh, of course they do, how else would someone makes profits? The prevention for this is never act as if you are an ignorant person who seems to know nothing about this world. On the other hand, it is YOU who is going to make them look like they are the ones who are ignorant. Go by the rule of 2, double the cost when they want to buy, and reduce the cost by half when they are selling. First, they will say things like the original cost is lower than that, then they will ask for more, but keep reducing/raising your next offer and they will give into your original price, or maybe more. This method links back to the first rule.

Rule 3, someone will definitely lose out. Pretty simple, always a win-lose situation and never a win-win situation. If you think that your trade have a win-win situation, probably you have already lose out.

Next, the fourth rule. Nothing in this world actually worth their cost. It's always about supply and demand thing. It's also about how others going to tackle it. It's never about the usefulness of the product. Who knows diamond is such an expensive stuff. It's not a very useful thing, it doesn't contribute much to the society. But for some reason, people demand it and they supply is minimum hence the price is high.

So the above rule I mention sound really mean and is trying to take advantage of the offer. The final rule of the day gonna explain it all. There has never been a fair trade all along. Not in history, not now and never in the future. Try putting a minimum bit of conscience in the trade, you will find yourself losing out.

Remember this 5 golden rules of the Law and Physics of Trading and find your place in the capitalist society.

N00bKefka's review on SuddenAttack

It's a free first person shooter but it's more or less like Counter Strike + Combat arms with a pretty horrible graphic. The game is created in 2004 and the graphic looks like it's in the 90s. Yes, I have set everything to the highest and it still look like a 90s game. Oh, what's more is the game is only release to the world in 2009. At least a lousier graphic mean less lag.

The gameplay, it's real normal. It's just like a standard first person shooter. No more no less. There are a lot of free online first person shooter which is actually better than Sudden Attack. There is quite a lot of standard weapons you will find in the shops but what disappoint me is the best weapons out there requires real cash. Easy way to make money huh?

Another thing I hate about this game is when you were killed, you have no idea where the killer is. It really make snipers hard to hunt. Of course for some case, they are glitch hiding but most of the time, you got killed, you have a hard time spot the sniper location.

Now, let's talk about the maps. It's horribly big for a 8 vs 8 match. Once again, snipers rule in such condition. You will spend like 3 minutes to get from spawn point to bomb site. For most death match maps, some maps is like a maze, some match is sniping friendly. There is only a couple of maps that is suitable for a 8v8.

so let's sum this up, this is what I feel about this game after playing it for 3 days (There isn't anything much for me to play on since it's pretty average).

Gameplay: 5/10
Graphic: 4/10
Sound and music: 5/10
Overall: 5/10

Worth to play it?
Since it's free I would still recommend you to give it a try. But there are quite amount of free FPS that is better.
