Free Games Site Gets Facelift

By Randi Kucala

World of Free Games, home to a large variety of free games downloads since 2009, recently made several site improvements in preparation for the addition of over 100 new games. The new games are slated to be added by the end of the year and will include puzzle, word, action games and more. The site upgrades are designed to improve the user experience, organize the current games, and enhance navigation throughout the site prior to the new content additions.

One of the new features on the site is the inclusion of detailed descriptions on each page. Users benefit by being able to quickly get a snapshot of what each page is about. New game descriptions, enlarged images, and the addition of even more images also help the user gain important information about the free games downloads and get a clear picture about the variety on the site.

To enhance the user experience in finding the exact type of game they are looking for, improvements were also made to site navigation. Links throughout the site now make navigating from page to page easier. Several other navigation options are currently in the testing phase as well.

In a further effort to make the site easier to use and to make certain that users had a way to get answers and voice comments, a Help page was created and changes were made to the Contact Us page. Furthermore, revisions were made to the About Us page to more adequately feature the security and privacy commitment of the site through the TRUSTe Certification program.

Perhaps one of the best new features of the site is the addition of a new page for Kids Games. With so many cool games for kids currently on the site, this is a strategic move to make users aware of their existence and set the stage for the new games to come later this year.

Take a minute to check out World of Free Games and keep your eyes open for all the new, free games to come. Plus, if you have any thoughts, suggestions, or great ideas, we would love to hear your feedback. Please leave comments on our site.

The Longest Relationship of Your Life

David Krueger MD

You're writing a story that you may not know how to fully tell. It's a very personal story with its own history and language. It's highly visible to others but often not to you. As Loren Eiseley observed in The Unexpected Universe, "Reality has a way of hiding from even its most gifted observers."

It's a story that you talk about every day, think about several times a day. It is remarkably simple yet intricately complex. This story has an internal and external dialogue, a secret language, and encrypted messages.

It's complicated because some important aspects are emotional, unspoken, and even unconscious.

This story is about the longest relationship you'll have in your life. Your parents discussed it before you arrived; people will deliberate it after you die. Maybe you'll get ten years out of a car, perhaps fifty with a spouse, but this story you can never stop writing or living. You can't break up with it, run away from it, or coax into loving you more.

Even though it's unexamined and elusive--you orient life decisions around it.

When I spoke with a well-known self-help guru, his response was, "You know, Dave, I don't know how to tell this story to myself in order to know what to change." You alone determine the genre: fiction or nonfiction; tragedy or triumph. The story tells most about the teller.

This story ghostwrites every aspect of your life story. From what you eat and drink, to what you plan and play. Health, recreation, stresses—even the water you drink—are all impacted. At times you've used this story to regulate your moods, increase self-esteem, influence others, or to soothe emotional pains.

The villain or hero is the most popular legal substance to all people of the world.

It speaks to you. You speak with it.

It's your money.

Your money story is not your income, assets, expenses, or debt—it's your relationship with money. It's how you use money in storylines of what money means to you, says about you, and what you say with it.

And, how you live this story will be what you teach your children, your clients, your important others.

UFOs 1973: Aliens Abductions and Extraordinary Sightings

By now do we really need any more proof that aliens exist? Still, there are die-hard skeptics who think people (like myself) who have actually witnessed strange spacecrafts or may have even been on board these UFOs and/or interacted with extra terrestrials simply have a wild imagination or too much alcohol on the brain. I've always been a believer and UFOs 1973: Aliens Abductions & Extraordinary Sightings just solidified my convictions.

Why 1973? It seems to have been a year chock full of historical events and plenty of UFO sightings. Fast forward to the present day and you find that historical events are taking place, as well as an increase in UFO sightings. Could there be a connection?

I enjoyed the fact that this was an uncensored and, to me, an unbiased film on UFOs and aliens. The filmmaker allowed the witnesses to tell their stories without being coached or cut. There's no hype to sway you one way or the other, you can make up your own mind. This makes it seem even more real...and I believe it is.

If you're looking for an unpolished (though not amateurish in the least) and completely REAL film on UFO encounters, this is it.

The Occult - The Truth Behind The Word

 The Occult: The Truth Behind the Word is an in-depth history and introduction to the occult.  Instead of making it seems spooky or evil, the film shows the viewer that occultism is nothing to be afraid of.  Throughout history there has been shamanism, ritual magick, and sacred practices that are still being practiced today.

The word “occult” simply means “beyond the range of ordinary knowledge or understanding” but over the centuries it's become synonymous with satanic worship and black magick.  Nothing could be further from the truth!

I enjoyed the parts of this film that focused on L. Ron Hubbard and Aleister Crowley.  If you're new to the subject of the occult or just want to set some fearful naysayers straight, this is a solid film to do just that.

Egypt Exposed: The True Origins Of Civilization

What I liked about Egypt Exposed: The True Origins of Civilization was how excited Robert Bauval is in discussing his theories that he feels are facts.  He talks about how in the distant past (10,000+ years ago) were men who were geniuses just like Sir Isaac Newton or Albert Einstein, though those wise men of eons ago didn't have science as the more contemporary geniuses did/do.  Instead, they expressed themselves, their beliefs, their visions and theories through archeological structures (such as the Great Pyramids), and hieroglyphs that present day science can't fully interpret. 

Mr. Bauval goes into great depth exploring the links between the Orion Correlation and the pyramids, as well as many other theories about where human civilization "truly" began.  True or not, it was interesting to keep an open mind while watching this film and wonder, "What if?" 

I do wish there were more photos to explain what he talks about so it would be easier to comprehend as I'm a very visual person.  

Strange Is Normal: The Amazing Life Of Colin Wilson

I've always been a huge fan of Colin Wilson's work, especially his books on crimes and serial killers, so I was eager to watch this lengthy Strange Is Normal: The Amazing Life Of Colin Wilson interview with him. I wasn't disappointed! They talked of his writing life, how he became an even bigger success after writing The Occult, his near attempt at suicide, meeting Marilyn Monroe and much more.

What I found most fascinating about this interview was when he talked about Super Consciousness. He was driving along one day feeling that the world was so very plain and boring, when he suddenly reached this state of consciousness where everything seemed incredibly interesting and wonderful. He goes much more into depth on the subject, but now I've put in an order for his book Super Consciousness. I'd like to learn more about those moments of absolute clarity. Those ah-ha! Moments.

His publishing history is quite impressive and yet he's one of the most down-to-earth authors I've seen interviewed. As an author myself, if I'm only one-tenth as successful I'll consider it a victory.

Alien Time Machine - Encounters From Another Dimension

Terry Le Riche Walters is interviewed about his story of having been in contact with extra terrestrials since he was a small child and was later made into a book My Orion Friends. As a child he had psychic visions of how other people felt and then when he was a teenager claims to have boarded a spaceship. I've watched a lot of films about people who claim to have been witnesses of UFOs, on board their ships, in constant contact with other beings, and so forth. Terry is different than many of them since he isn't afraid and considers them part of his higher, spiritual self. He doesn't pretend to know it all, only what he knows and has experienced. What someone else may know or experience may be different.

He feels that his psychic abilities tend to get in the way of his life at times and make it a bit embarrassing. He often keeps his mouth shut when he sees that someone is ill or about to die since he doesn't want to seem crazy.

Ultimately he talks about the time machine and how people who've used this time machine can choose to be observers or actual participants in the past (or future) but some met with death. There's actual footage of the time machine. I'm not sure if it would really work, but the idea of it is interesting nonetheless.
