Box calls are versatile, sound great, and are relatively easy to use. They are or can be sensitive to humidity and work very well in dry conditions. Box calls bring putts, purrs, clucks and howls to life. Anyone can master the box call with a little practice and time. This call doesn’t take up much space in your pocket and is lightweight. Box calls are one of the calls for that beginning turkey hunter.

The diaphragm or mouth calls are probably the most difficult to master, of all the turkey calls out there. Once you’ve mastered it, this call fills a vital niche. This call is versatile and allows hunters to produce soft, purring noises, but at the same time, the diaphragm or mouth can reach high frequencies and long-range calls. Most hunters will say that the diaphragm or mouth call is the perfect call to lure that monster in those last few yards. They would not be for beginner hunters or if you are just starting out.

Push bottom call is the easiest call to learn, when you use button calls, they make realistic howls, clucks and purrs at the push of a button. They can be manipulated effectively with one hand, so that when that big tom comes in, you can hold your gun in one hand and keep pointing it with the other. This call is perfect for first time turkey hunters as there really is no need to practice as all you are doing is pressing a button.

Friction or slate calls are made from a variety of different materials such as slate, aluminum, titanium, glass (resin), plexiglass, and copper. These calls are the most versatile out there. Friction or slate takes more effort to master than other calls, but serious turkey hunters wouldn’t go to the woods without them. They make more realistic high-pitched sounds that travel distances and are impervious to wet conditions. Once you’ve mastered friction or slate, you can change it up by getting a different firing pin that can create a totally different frequency, sound, and volume. Strikers come in Carbon, Walnut, Purple Heart, Plexiglass, Wire, and Aluminum. Having one or more strikers can be beneficial to your hunt.

Last but not least is the pager call. This call does exactly what its name suggests, it locates the devourers. Loud, high-pitched calls often work well for locating hot birds, but be sure to use soft, natural-sounding calls as well. Hunters say this is the most effective way to locate nearby toms. It’s a great call to use when you’re not sure where to sit or where the birds are heading.

Successful turkey hunters will make several different calls to make sure they have all situations covered. There would be nothing worse than being in your prime with a devourer and not being able to lure him in. Remember to always be safe and good luck in your turkey hunt.

In the beginning, supermarkets went from being just providers of groceries and household items, to looking more like old department stores, with much more emphasis on selling clothes, appliances, beauty products, pharmaceuticals, take-out, along with the usual household requirements. In this way, they actually took over a lot of business from many small independent retailers, causing many gaps to appear in what used to be the thriving main streets and local business communities.

So why the great emphasis on starting to promote your competitors’ business in the form of gift card sales?

For example, Tesco promotes its own wide range of clothing, but still promotes the sale of gift cards to competitors such as Primark, Next, and Arcadia Group (which includes Burtons, Topshop, Dorothy Perkins, Top Man, Miss Selfridge, Evans, etc. .). Wallis) and many more.

The same applies to electrical appliances, including televisions, mobile phones, washing machines and dishwashers, etc. You will see Gift Cards for Amazon, Argos, Curries-PC World, department stores like House of Frazer, BHS, all direct competitors advertising in supermarkets.

When it comes to food stores, gift cards for fast food establishments such as Pizza Express, Pizza Hut, Costa Coffee stand out. Even movie tickets and many restaurants are promoted, including a wide range of great chain restaurant meals.

So, first of all, they convince millions of shoppers to leave the traditional main streets and head to large retail stores outside the city, where options and free parking prevail; And then they go out of their way to get their loyal customers back to visit local stores by selling their competitors’ gift cards!

You can bet your bottom dollar these big supermarkets aren’t doing this out of the goodness of their hearts, but rather out of coldness, calculating profit incentives.

They are not stupid. They know that even their loyal customers won’t spend every penny of their ‘already spent’ money on them, so why not encourage those customers to spend what they are going to spend anyway at other competing outlets, to buy gift cards in your supermarkets? And anyway, if these customers also use their loyalty cards on these additional purchases (for example, ClubCard from Tesco or Spend and Save from Morrison), they will be sent even more special offers to get them back to the stores. way, for example, to make the Tesco ClubCard loyalty program valid, for example, at these other points of sale.

If you take a close look at how Morrisons operate in this area, they have created a very powerful additional incentive to get their loyal customers to spend extra money this way. For every £ 10 spent on gift cards in their stores, they offer an instant 1p per liter discount on fuel costs. Imagine, especially in the run-up to Christmas, investing up to £ 1,500 in Morrisons gift vouchers and then spending around £ 1000 of that on Amazon gift vouchers from your local Morrisons store (perhaps for a new system of state-of-the-art television). With gasoline at or less than £ 1 per liter, you could fill your tank for NOTHING with instant Morrisons coupons for £ 1 per liter from your next full tank of fuel!

Why do supermarkets like Morrisons do that? Well, first of all, you can be sure that for every Gift Card they sell, they get a hefty commission; Furthermore, these revenues will massively increase your turnover, with very little cost element in the sale. And what determines the success and value of a supermarket? Well, how about a combination of your earnings and turnover?

Perfect strategy for them, but how can this work for YOU?

Say, for example, someone bought you a gift for your birthday and instead of buying you something you might not appreciate (like a hideous tacky cardigan), they gave you £ 100 worth of Morrison gift cards. Now you can go to Morrisons and buy, say, a week’s supply of household goods, or a full tank of gas, or you can spend it all on gift cards there first and get an instant Morrisons discount of 10 pence per every liter of fuel. . There is nothing to stop anyone from buying this way and getting a lot of extra benefits. But you can see how this will have the effect of encouraging shoppers to spend a lot more money than they initially envisioned in these big box stores.

So let’s go back one. If you get all these benefits by buying Gift Cards in any large Supermarket, in addition to obtaining your loyalty program benefits (ClubCard, Nectar Points, etc.) Why not start getting even more member benefits by joining a free Shopping Community and buying grocery gift cards first? obtaining all the Benefits for Members of that Shopping Community, and then also enjoy all these other benefits every time you visit these huge supermarkets and thousands of other stores (both online and offline) yourself. Most families could easily justify spending around £ 500 each month on groceries and fuel alone at one of the big supermarkets, but spending even more to buy gift cards there for their competitors. By doing this, the shopping community member will not only enjoy the Member Benefits of their free shopping community membership, but will also begin to help rekindle the demoralizing effect of empty High Streets store lines that they were once the heart of a vibrant local community. .

A word of caution. However, like supermarkets, there are many “Cash Back” loyalty programs that you can join. Love2Shop; Restaurant Choice, TopCashback, Quidco, Shopper Discount & Rewards, the One4All post office card, and even many banks offer ways to attract shoppers to their plans. But most of these schemes are aimed at individual buyers and do nothing in terms of offering a business opportunity for more adventurous buyers.especially when it comes to recommending your friends to join, AND getting ongoing member benefits when your friends shop too.

Choose Your Shopping Community Loyalty Program Membership Carefully, and you might discover that they actually offer solutions for people with a vision and a desire to excel; Network users and owners of small and medium-sized businesses, including charities, which could allow you to accumulate a substantial 5-figure income stream in a year or two. Work together with your local council or favorite charity on this plan, and they too will feel the benefit of this multi-million dollar opportunity.

Remember: anything you can do or dream of, you can do. Get started.

Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.

Many workers have begun to consider the many benefits of working from home and many companies now allow their employees to telecommute. Every day more and more people choose to start their own home-based businesses to avoid that dreaded 9-5 workday. No matter why you do it, if you choose to work at home, you need to establish a home office space for yourself. Your first purchase should be a suitable desk. There are many on the market that will suit your needs, but you may want to take a look at some of the more interesting-looking U-shaped desks that are available.

One of the benefits of U-shaped desks over the typical executive desk is that they offer you plenty of space for your computer and various office equipment you need for your work. You have plenty of room for multitasking and you even have room for a second monitor if you need it. U-shaped desks can be part of the office suites that many companies offer now, so you’ll have bookcases and filing cabinets to match your desk.

Martin offers several U-shaped desks with a really elegant look. Their Southampton Cottage collection features a U-shaped desk that has a very wide pull-out keyboard drawer, lots of extra storage space in two large storage drawers. The optional hutch has glass doors that open for more storage space, including shelves and a special compartment for CD storage. The wood is an aged black lava that allows it to fit into most home décor.

Ameriwood has U-shaped desks that offer workers a sturdy and efficient workspace. It has space for all your work supplies, computers, laptops, and printers. Add the hutch and you have the perfect place to display pictures, books, or rewards. It also offers the option of using the U-shape or changing it to an L-shaped desk.

Luxor also has several U-shaped desks on the market. They are made of quality, give the worker plenty of room to spread out, and provide a great desk for your computer and printers and all your office equipment. There is ample storage space and the look of the furniture is more contemporary and modern.

U-shaped desks offer workers a fantastic amount of space, can be used in a multitude of settings, can fit into tight spaces or fill a room and become the centerpiece of the area. They are functional and beautiful additions to your home office.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, also known only as Modern Warfare or Call of Duty 6, is a first-person shooter video game developed by Infinity Ward and published by Activision for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. It was the first announced For its official release on February 11, 2009, the game was finally released worldwide on November 10, 2009. It is the sixth game in the Call of Duty series.

It is well known for the 14 million copies it has sold worldwide (or at least that’s what Activision said). In my honest opinion, Call of Duty 4 Multiplayer is better than Modern Warfare 2 for very good reasons.

First of all, there are no dedicated servers for Modern Warfare 2. That wouldn’t be a big deal if this IW Net System had worked properly because the idea was so good. But it’s not like that. Many times you get disconnected, delay or find it difficult to enter a map.

Second, you have no control over which map will be played next, who you play against, and sometimes there are only a few rounds to play. For example, in Search and Destroy, the team that wins 4 rounds wins the match. If there were more rounds to play, this system would be much better. On the other hand, it’s a good thing because you don’t have to be in the same lobby with players you don’t like or have insulted you, and you can’t get kicked out of these “automated” servers. And furthermore, no other mods can be created for this game, such as Promod or Zombies Mod are for Call of Duty 4. Out of place, in my opinion, promod should be called noobmod. I say this because if you don’t like the perks and many weapons that are restricted in the so-called promod mod, go ahead and play another first person shooter that doesn’t have them.

But, Modern Warfare 2’s Singleplayer is a bit better than Call of Duty 4 Singleplayer. They both have very well thought out single player campaigns, but I think Modern Warfare is more exciting and more fictional as well. Call of Duty 4 Singleplayer is more realistic but not as exciting as Modern Warfare 2 Singleplayer.

These were the various “parallels” I did, connecting Call of Duty 4 with Modern Warfare 2 and comparing them a bit in these particular areas.

Another good thing about Modern Warfare is that you can play cooperative missions together with a friend. This cooperative mode is titled Special Ops, which consists of standalone missions similar in design to the mission in the Call of Duty 4 epilogue “Mile High Club”. There are many missions within this new cooperative mode. These missions take place in a variety of locations from the campaign mode, but are not related to the story of the campaign itself.

Now, the multiplayer part that is in my opinion the most important. Modern Warfare 2’s online multiplayer works on the same system as Call of Duty 4 Multiplayer. You get the same experience points and the unlockable system is the same as Call of Duty 4. The game modes are: Free for all, Search and destroy, Demolition, Sabotage, Domination, Team Deathmatch and Capture the Flag . Aside from the new weapons, equipment and perks that are upgraded to “pro versions” after meeting the utilization requirements, the player can unlock and select 15 different kill streak rewards. Among these is the ability to take a supply drop after achieving four kills in a row, ordering a Predator missile strike after five kills, and calling an AC-130 gunship to strike from the sky after 11 kills. Players can also get a tactical nuke if they get a 25 kill streak. The nuke will blow up the entire map and achieve victory in a match for the player or team that requested the nuke, regardless of whether the team was winning or losing at the time the nuke was requested. Another new feature is in-game host migration; If the host of a match leaves the game, the current game no longer ends (as is the case in Call of Duty 4), as a ‘host migration delay’ allows a new host to be selected and the game continued. An optional third person mode is also added that can be used in certain types of games. (Wikipedia)

Another new thing that comes up with Modern Warfare 2 is that IW Net works through Steam. This system is almost identical to the IW Net console version.

Finally, there are some new accessories in Modern Warfare 2 such as the heartbeat sensor, attached shotgun, FMJ, and tactical knife. There are also many new perks such as Commando, Ninja, Cold Blood, and many more. Another good thing about Modern Warfare 2 is that you can use dual weapons. Even though some of them were overpowered and some are still heavily overpowered (the akimbo shotguns were overpowered but fixed while the g18 is still overpowered), this is a great thing about the multiplayer version of Modern Warfare 2.

And, the last thing is that a lot of new weapons have been added as everyone expected and a lot of weapons have been removed from Call of Duty 4.

Male gamers are considered nerds and lack social skills, especially when it comes to women. On the internet, you will find hundreds of memes that poke fun at male gamers and their inability to stop the game to interact with the hot girl next to them.

What many people don’t know is that male players have the right qualities that allow them to interact with any beautiful woman of their choice. The only problem is that the virtual world is more exciting than the real world. Flying things, cutting off a zombie’s head, flying fighter jets, racing across the field in a soccer game, and racing exotic cars are some of the things that gamers like more than women.

Let’s face it, male players have feelings that they would love to share and even create better memories. To do so, one has to learn to date. Here’s how to attract gamer girls.

Have a conversation

The one thing that will never change between a man and a woman who have dating potential is having a conversation. Talking is the basis for getting to know each other, as well as for exploring the interests of others. When you speak, you can ask questions and receive answers about each other.

As a man, if you want to attract a gamer girl, you have to show interest. The only way to do this is by having a conversation. There are many topics you can discuss with her, but start with a simple introduction first. Once you have introduced yourself, you can slowly start the conversation that can grow and cover many topics.

The only thing you need to know about gamer girls is that they know more about computers and gaming systems than most guys. There is a topic that you will definitely find to start a conversation. Remember, the game can also be a great way to be able to send you a message if you are too shy for the initial move.

Invite her to a game.

Every week and month, new games are released and players are always waiting to try something new. This is the best chance you have to attract a gamer girl. The first thing to do is make sure you have the correct settings. What is your preferred gaming platform? Over the years, the console battle between consoles and consoles between PCs has raged and even today, no clear winner has been found. This has led PC gamers to refer to themselves as the master race. Regardless of this, you need to find out what your gamer girl prefers. Is it Xbox, Play Station or PC? Having the right game system can score you a lot of points.

Includes other accessories like wireless keyboards or keyboards, headsets with microphones (if you’re playing a multiplayer online game instead of a solo game), energy drinks, and pizza (get the best delivery on speed dial). Finally, the game, this will depend on what you want to surprise her with. Once you’ve set everything up, you can invite her.

The reason you do this is because girls, whether they are gamers or not, love to know that a guy is interested in what they do.

Build your self-confidence

The only thing that puts all women off is a man’s inability to be confident. Men should know that self-confidence and self-esteem are great attractive qualities. Girls will fall in love with a guy who trusts what they say and do. Although a gamer girl may know different things about gaming systems and gaming computers, there are a few things that she might know.

To build confidence, you must learn a new skill. Since you want to attract a gamer girl, you need to find a skill that will surprise her. Maybe she knows how to create awesome mods for different games or she has a set of gaming skills that are new to her. All in all, the end game is to attract her.

Beware

Just because you are a gamer and intend to attract a gamer girl does not mean that your appearance should be pitiful. All girls love to be associated with a guy who is well dressed, looks great, smells great, and has a smile on his face.

This should also extend to your home. Don’t leave pizza boxes from last week on the table, under it, under a chair, or around the kitchen counter. These will not only create a smell that will be pungent, but it is not only attractive to girls but also to men.

Remember, the reason your house needs to be clean is that you might invite her to play a game one day with pizza and energy drinks. If you want her to stay and have a chance to become her boyfriend, clean up the dirt.

Final thoughts

How to attract gamer girls is a simple process that anyone can do. All you need is to have the right strategy, develop self-confidence and self-esteem, look smart, and have the right topics for a conversation.

Remember, gamer girls are like other girls, although they interact more with boys, they still maintain the same basic standards when it comes to boys.

Did you know that fish and birds are dying all over the world? Did you know that bee, plankton, and bat populations are in decline? Did you know that coral reefs are disappearing? Did you know that tornadoes have been detected, for the first time in history, rotating in the opposite direction? Did you notice that the climate in your forest area may have changed? Did you notice the strange wake as marks in the sky? Did you know that there are places in Mexico where the soil temperature is warming above 200 degrees? Did you know that our oceans are warming 2 degrees? Did you know that the polar caps are melting and polar bears are drowning? Did you know that over a seven-day period in early June, 772 earthquakes were recorded on the California-Nevada border near Mammoth Lake? (Gordon Michele Scallion and others predict a volcanic eruption there this summer.) Did you know that north is no longer north and airports are changing runway markings so planes can land safely? Did you know that on May 31, the jet stream (an extremely fast wind stream flowing through the upper atmosphere) made landfall for the first time in recorded history? Did you know that all over North America migratory birds have stopped returning to their nesting grounds? And that the salmon no longer return to their spawning grounds? And have indigenous tribes around the world stopped having children? Did you know that we are in the middle of a full pole reversal? Did you know that planet X / Niburu is fast approaching? Did you know that the economy is in trouble? Did you know that corn and oil prices are going up? Did you know that a food crisis is looming? Did you know that solar flares can cause power outages and even radiation poisoning? Did you know

Well, if you didn’t know, you know now. I am not a scientist, but I am an environmentalist with a fascination and love for the complexities of the inner and outer workings of the earth, and I can tell you that many ecological changes are surely taking place on our planet. The question is what is causing these changes? Are they natural or artificial? If you want to play detective, you can find tons of explanations on the web just by googling it! Explanations vary, but these are some of the main results. Many God-fearing people believe that we are experiencing the end of time. That the Book of Revelations unfolds like a daily movie in our lives. Others blame the government saying they are manipulating the climate and deliberately creating “states of emergency” so that the Illuminati can take over the world and reduce our current population by 90%. Other schools of thought are that aliens are to blame and that it is they who are using their advanced technologies to wreak havoc on the planet. Many scientists believe that it is simply a natural part of the earth’s cycle and that these changes have occurred before in history and are simply repeating these cyclical events. Then there are the Hopi Indians who believe that a great “purification” is taking place while others believe that the Mayan prophecies are being fulfilled. The New Age movement believes that human consciousness is rising to a new level and after the earth goes through its changes, a more pure and loving earth will be born.

I’m not sure who has the correct answer to today’s world’s problems, but I know one thing for sure. This is a competition where being right doesn’t really have a winner. If we are headed for extinction, I’m thinking, does it matter what the cause is? However, I believe that prevention is better than cure. If you knew that the biggest storm of the century was going to hit your city, what would you do? You’re probably rushing to the store (you and 1000 other people) to stock up on supplies, right? Well, based on everything you’ve read above, do you think there’s a big storm coming, whether it’s economical, green, or storage? If you were ever a Boy Scout, Brownie, or Girl Guide, you should still have that inner push that says, “Get ready!” Being prepared for any disaster is being responsible. It is not being an alarmist. If nothing bad happens, rejoice in the many supplies you won’t have to buy and throw a great celebration party.

Choosing the right diamond jewelry can be a difficult task. Between chain stores, local stores, newsstands, stalls, and many other places that sell jewelry, you need to be able to decide where to go. The challenge is finding a store that is reputable and offers affordable products. Here are some tips to help you avoid bad jewelry.

Where to go

When deciding where to go to buy diamonds, there are a few factors to consider.

First, what is the quality of the merchandise on display? If the jeweler sells silver pieces for the same price as gold pieces, he should avoid doing business with them. Also, if your jeweler specializes in handling cubic zirconia and other imitations of real diamond products, you will likely need to look elsewhere.

Next, consider the location of the store. If the jewelers you are dealing with do not have a permanent store, they are probably not people you should buy diamonds from. After all, if you can pack up and move to a different city in no time, nothing will stop you from being fooled with low-quality products at a high price.

Finally, think about the size of the store. The larger the store, the more purchases the store has to make for inventory. Because suppliers offer the best deals to jewelers who buy the most products, larger distributors can generally offer the lowest price on jewelry.

Other tips for buying diamonds

If you are buying a diamond for someone you really care about, you should buy designer diamond jewelry. Designer jewelry has the highest standards of fashion, making it the most attractive for people to wear. Her designs for pendants, rings, or anything else always look better than non-designer jewelry.

Another thing to look for is diamond jewelry that is on sale. When companies have sales, sometimes it is because no one wants the products they are trying to sell. However, most of the time, sales are made simply because they have old stock that they want to get rid of to make room for a new shipment. Take advantage of a jeweler’s desire to move old merchandise and save a lot of money.

Finally, shop around. Look in various places that sell jewelry. Diamond jewelry can be very expensive, so you need to be careful when buying it. If you are buying a gift, make sure the piece you have really symbolizes your love for that person. You don’t want your loved one to receive an expensive gift and not be absolutely floored.

If you follow the tips listed here, you will surely be able to find the perfect diamond jewelry that you have been looking for. Remember that not all diamond sellers are trustworthy, so always be careful. Also, use common sense when buying diamonds. Don’t let a salesperson trick you into buying something that makes you uncomfortable.

Initial impressions of the new Xbox dashboard are good. The new ‘Metro’ interface is a huge improvement over the previous interface, which was both confusing and boring to watch. Digging deeper into the new tiled interface reveals that some things at least haven’t changed, the avatar editor being one of them.

Microsoft has called this a media-centric update and with all the additional media services to come, that’s certainly true. Looking at the way they’ve done it, by adding an app section and the new app market, Microsoft seems to be following the lead of the Apple store and the Android market, although at the moment they are all media-based apps.

Metro style interface

The first thing you notice about this interface is the new tiles. Each menu item on the board contains large and small rectangular tiles. Generally, large tiles contain highlights and smaller tiles contain less important items. The web-style top menu provides a way to quickly jump between menu items and consists of the following items: bing, home, social media, television, video, games, music, applications, settings.

Bing

Microsoft’s Bing search engine was installed with the new update and provides a single place to search all content on your machine and online content within Xbox Live. Initial impressions are good. Text Search includes predictive search suggestions that are very useful when trying to type with a standard Xbox controller. You can also filter your results by media type, for example, video, music, game, etc.

Home

DVD tray – The start menu item contains a tile with the current game, the DVD tray.

Quick Game: Show 10 recent games, press X to see game details and reveal another Metro style interface.

Welcome Video: Dan Marr from ‘Inside Xbox’ presents a short welcome video to show you what’s new on the board.

Announcement: Microsoft continues to sell ad space on Xbox, the ad shown today was a BT Infinity ad. Large Featured Tile – Contains a rotating ad for various games, Sky, and Lovefilm.

Social

There have been some good social media integration updates, especially with Facebook.

Friends – A small tile that shows your Xbox Live friends.

Login / logout – no wonder it only allows you to log in / out of profiles

Your Avatar – Takes you to the message center, avatar, and theme settings.

Social Apps – Dig in to find 3 more apps, Video Kinect, Twitter, and Facebook

Twitter

There is no download with this. They have used the usual Twitter presentation in the style of a speech bubble, this time with an animated background. Features include scrolling Twitter feed, Tweet feature, free text, and trending searches.

Facebook

Accessing the new Facebook application leads to a small download. A fairly small download considering the changes they have made.

After you are prompted for a username and password. A privacy screen is displayed. There are 2 settings; Displays My Xbox Live information and Live Online auto sign-in. Selecting the first one will show your Xbox Live gamertag along with your Facebook name. This is something you might not want if your coworkers can access your Facebook page. Working from home and having a quick Call of Duty session at lunchtime wouldn’t look good on all of Facebook.

Facebook’s new interface isn’t that different from the old one, the biggest change is how the app integrates with games. You can now search for Facebook friends on Xbox Live and Xbox Live friends on Facebook. Sending a friend request to any of the services is very easy.

TV

Kinect Games – A little tile for Xbox games, a strange place for this, maybe they had nothing else to fill the space.

Xbox Only: A small tile advertisement exclusively for Xbox titles. Again, a strange place to put this.

Featured Tile – The featured tile contains links to both the new Sky Television app and Lovefilm.

New Sky app

This is a very awesome Sky app and it is part of the Sky Go app for online devices. Sky subscribers can register only 2 devices to Sky Go, for example an iPad and Xbox 360. To get started with the Sky app, you need to sign in or register a Sky ID. You can do this with a PC beforehand.

The Sky app provides live and on-demand video. Live video selection reveals a large number of channels, including Sky HD channels. You can also select Live Video using the built-in Sky planner.

Video on demand is where this app really shines. You can drill down into your favorite TV shows to reveal a list of recent episodes. Selecting Sky Atlantic HD and searching for Carnivale reveals 4 recent episodes. Each video has an associated availability, for example. 7 days, a duration and data size in MB, for example. Carnivale S2 E9 was 496MB in size, but it started playing almost instantly after a short ad, of course.

The app contains a new Sky community where you can “Like” videos and add a comment through a menu system, or recommend to a friend. The 4-level multi-phrase option comment menu system is a bit clunky to use, but it’s better than typing stuff using the controller. Here is an example comment of a comment: “I was satisfied with the scene, in the end, a great episode!”. Not cool.

You can also search video content by most recommended, most viewed, etc.

The Sky Action wheel (press Y) gives you quick access to the main functions, for example, the planner, recent activity, etc. Once you’ve installed the Sky app, the Live TV tile will take you directly to a live Sky TV broadcast. The video-on-demand tile takes you directly to the Sky Go home page.

LoveFilm App – Another featured downloadable app. I’m not a member and couldn’t be bothered to sign up for the free trial so I don’t have much of a game with this, however from what I saw it looked very fancy with its Metro style interface.

Video

My Video Apps – Dig into installed video apps, for example Lovefilm, Zune, and Media Center

Zune Video Marketplace: Zune, but with an improved Metro-style interface Four ad tiles – for paid video content, for example from Lovefilm and Zune

Games

My Games – Looks like a full flat list of installed games, but digging into the filter tile reveals another set of tiles with filter options. E.g. Demos, Arcade, etc.

Game Marketplace – New Metropolitan Tile View of Downloadable Games and Content 2 Ad Tiles – Contains Featured Titles.

Music

My Music Apps: Contains a list of installed music apps, such as Last FM

Zune Music Marketplace: As usual, you can download music videos here, the new subway-style tile interface looks good. 3 ad tiles: for paid music content

Applications

Contains a set of uniformly sized tiles with a list of installed multimedia applications.

App Market – Lists music, video, and social media apps and a preview tile for each future app. Settings This section contains a nice concise tile layout. Just like before.

Beacons
