VG Apps: CAR JACK STREETS

"When I first bought my 2nd generation ipod, I spent a few days searching through the itunes app store and asking my friends bout their favorite apps. Many famous titles noticablystood out from the rest. Pocket god, flick kick football, doodle jump, pocket god and Car jack streets. Many of those titles may you may of already known or in fact currently own. I personally love long games, I've never really taken a liking to arcade games or timewasters other than to challenge my friends. Instead I love the whole adventure and role playing side to ll my video games. So once I had researched into the app and eventually purhased.it I fell deeply in love with it nd I hope you do ... "

A crossroad collision (actual gameplay)
I won't lie car jack streets Is a complete rip off GTA ( grand theft auto ) but the difference with this particular rip of is that it is without a shadow of a doubt a really good portable rip off.
You begin outside a casino where you have apparently boon all your money and money owed to a certain gang on a night out.
The gang ( to say the least ) is pissed off with you. You then receive a phone call from the mafia leader Frankie. You engage in conversation with him as you walk slowly to your car. It turns out that frankie really is pissed off with you. He demands that you return all the cash you " borrowed " from him, that totals up to something around, 1 million dollars. In all fairness 1 million dollars is next to nothing for an almost corporte mafia. I would imagine that the devolpers probably had two options when naming the game, either car jack streets or frankie wants a yacht.
Anyway, Randal ( your character ) and frankie have a heated debate over the phone resulting in frankie detonating your plush sports car remotely from the safe distance of the building opposite you. At that point the game truly begins as you begin the tutorial phase of the beginning. After the character contol mechanics are explained you are told about "jobs" and the payment you must gove towards frankie. You are required to deliver $50,000 every week by Sunday 11:59pm.

An example of the video games real time system 
The game runs on real time but it is only a the current time on your ipad not the zone. So for example if it is currently 1 pm on you ipad then it will be 1pm in the game. I mentioned that because certain jobs are available at certain times. Also other jobs may involve you killing some one at "x" time or prehaps delivering something at "x" time.
The jobs you are offered can range from ambulance driving, hijacking cars, assassinating enemies, providing contract protection or even delivering pizzas. These jobs on average give you around $3,500 towards your fund. Sometimes Ive noticed that the explanation of a Job can be confusing or in fact badly written but Personally I suggest that you take your time to read the entire description even if you know you just have to kill someone.
The other key feature within the game is Hijacking vehicles. I will tell you now that it is a fantastic feature, the ability to just run in front of any car and get in and drive proves to be so useful during the game. The majority of vehicles in the game drive similar. However, if you are finding that the pace of the car is too slow just use the TURBO button. A word of Warning this turbo boost (that is featured in all vehicles except Special Vehicles is really useful) the shear speed of the increase will throw you off balance and perhaps more often than not crash. Though the feature without question is useful for outrunning police.

The last feature I wanted to mention was the S.W.A.T phase in the game. Unlimited police chasing you, with unlimited cop cars and all equipped with weapons. My advice is don't run, just take a stand and shoot back you may come out on top of the firefight.

Warcraft Lore: Eitrigg of Orgrimmar

Eitrigg as seen in the World of Warcraft: TCG
"I came across Eitrigg a while back in Wotlk. I was running the last Death Knight specific quest. The quest consisted of you passing a message from Tirion Fordring to Thrall (horde only relevancy) asking for a pardon of the Knights of the Ebon Blade. After reading the message I noticed Tirion mention Eitrigg towards the end of the letter. After that I took no real intrest in the matter, until we reached cataclysm. I ran into the new throne room to see Garrosh, but as I walked through the entrance I turned to my right to look for the blood elf paladin trainer and low and behold I saw Eitrigg standing there. After that I researched into more detail of the lore between Fordring and Eitrigg and well this is the information I gathered..."


Kil'jeaden the deceiver
Eitrigg is an ageing yet noble orc warrior from the first and second war. He was decorated and honoured as a great warrior of battle, he even lost 2 sons in battle. After the most recent war had calmed, Eitrigg uncovered not only the dark secrets of Gul'dan the first warlock and founder of the horde but also the powerful erader demon lord Kil'jaeden. Disgusted with their atrocities Eitrigg left his horde society and fled to the wilderness of lordearon.
Paladin High Lord Tirion Fordring 
Years later Tirion fordring ,a noble exiled paladin Of lordearon. while roaming the land Tirion stumbled across an abandoned watch tower laying in ruin. Eitrigg appeared from the shadow of the ruin and challenged Tirion to a duel to the death, as both heroes did not know of each other and therefore where a threat to one another. Their battle raged on amongst the ruin neither opponent backing down until the watch tower began to crumble. Beneath lay the unconscious Tirion trapped by the fallen stone, Eitrigg towered over him in victory. Although, Eitrigg knew that there was no honour in killing another warrior with whom was defenceless. Instead Eitrigg pulled Tirion from the rubble and healed him. Tirion woke up days later in his bed. He realised that the Orc with whom he attacked had nursed him and sent him tied to his saddle back to lordearon. At this point It dawned on Tirion that the orcish race might too be bound by honour, just as the alliance is.
Thrall, Warcheif of the Horde
Tirion returned to the watch tower to seek out Eitrigg. Unfortunately a group soldiers that belonged to the Alliance of Lordaeron ambushed the two heroes.
Eitrigg was captured and brought back to Lordearon along with Tirion to stand before trial. A ceromony was preformed for Tirion to strip him of his title and honour for helping an Orc.
Eitrigg was bound and caged until he was rescued by the newly appointed Warchief of the Horde, Thrall. Eitrigg Vowed to Tirion that they were "brothers bound by blood and honour". Thrall and the other key members of the Horde regarded Tirion with the highest respect and honor to this very day.

Thank you for taking a look at the first segment of Warcraft lore, I will upload the next chapter soon...
