The Golden Nectar

Alcohol, when the chilled golden fluid known as beer runs down your throat on a hot summers day, when the fresh taste of whiskey on the rocks hits your throat at a casino, or just kicking back to relax in front of a fireplace alcoholic beverages have always been there with us helping us calm our nerves.
Imagine a hot sunday afternoon, you are all alone at home in your underpants just watching TV, you go to the fridge and there before you is a pint of your favorite beer in there chilled and waiting to be opened. That feeling of satisfaction can only be achieved with beer (or maybe orange juice... i like orange juice).
Some people drink for fun and some people drink to forget, no matter what your mental condition a pint or two will always do you good.

I would like to quote Dr Sheldon Copper from the big bang theory where he says

"Aah memory impairment, The free gift under every vodka bottle"

My purpose behind the above quote was to bring to light the benefit of the drink. Say you just got dumped, or you found out your mother was not your mother but your father is actually your uncle and your grandmom married her brother. The news messes with your head to such an extent that you just wanna forget you ever heard they said. So you go to your local bar and drink up your wallet'w worth of alcohol and you wake up next morning in another woman's bedroom thinking why you have a koala on the bed and why the bed is in the zoo. Most of al you will be wondering why your head hurts so much or why are there bite marks on your arm.

Although you will be confused about many things you will for sure feel better about yourself cause after all, your mind wont be at the breakup or whatever.

Alcohol is great but all good comments have a big hairy "BUT" following them always. Alcohol damages liver tissue causing cirrhosis and ultimately liver failure. Chronic drinking often leads to fatty liver syndrome or some conditions like Hepatomegaly. In most of the cases people tend to get jaundiced because of liver dysfunction.

So now i know all this sounds bad but if you continue drinking trust me it may get way worse. Trust me i have seen cases where the liver is so damaged that the doctors cannot do anything about it.

I would like to say that if you want to drink, do it lightly and do not abuse the substance. If feeling depressed do not look to alcohol as the only silver lining. Face the fact that you are fat and lonely and nobody likes you, or she isn't your mother. Alcohol is meant to be a chilling out chemical just to loosen up after a long days work and not to drown your sorrows in. So remember, if you wanna drink, do it lightly and protect your liver.

FIFA 14!!!

"EA sports, To the game"The slogan of the EA sports franchise has always struck up a feeling of nostalgia in me, sending a chill down my spine every time i open an EA game. Ever since FIFA 04 i have been a huge fan of FIFA games and other Electronic Arts productions such as Medal of honor, Battlefield and the sims.So yesterday i downloaded the latest release of the game FIFA 14 and may i tell you something, I failed to sleep the entire night.I was up just thinking about what the game makers have added this time as the download progressed. once the 1.27 GB file was downloaded I opened it and there he was. Lionel Messi on the cover once again.I was not as surprised as i expected to be but i have to say that the FIFA 14 for android and iOS is a dumbed down, stripped back and streamlined version of the console games that spawned it.But the good thing about it is that the touch controls are really slick and smooth. The passing is easy because all you need to do is click on a player or any spot on the pitch and leave the rest of the calculations like how the pass should be and how much power required to the game. Although the control pad can be customized to the virtual keypad, the way FIFA originally was meant to be played on touch devices, it is a pain moving your fingers around so much just for simple things like passing and shooting. The swipe to shoot feature is very confusing as the player ends up doing something else and if the swipe is not complete, the shot fails. EA managed to come out with a really interactive user interface for the game but with a few modifications to the touch controls i can see this game become a big thing on the android and iOS markets.Play modes include quick online matches against live opponents and play your favorite teams upcoming real life fixture, but the real meat and potatoes is the ultimate team, where you build your own team of players from all over the world and slowly build your team into a powerhouse.

In all these game modes,FIFA 14 takes full advantages of the crazy number of licenses it holds, depicting real players and teams from 40 different languages that span the globe. The graphics aren't quite console quality but certainly hold their own in maybe every way but hair styles, and automatic updates means the rosters and kits remain up to date. On the audio side, the default setting is to hear the game's excellent soundtrack while you play, but commentary tracks in five different languages can be downloaded off the game itself.

To play this game online you will need to have a stable internet connection because online multiplayer tends to lag and freeze at certain places. So for full and complete utilization of all the features the game has to offer, i would recommend a stable internet connection.

After the release of FIFA 14 on the google play store and the iOS store, all i can really hope for now is an update where all the bugs are fixed so that at the end of the day i can tell my friends that i played an amazing game today.
