Need For Speed

NFS is by far the most cool racing game that i have played. The revolution of NFS started with NFS Underground 1 and 2. The introduction of car modification with body kits, spoilers etc was awesome. But the NFS that i liked most was NFS Most wanted. The scenario, the races were just too good. I have completed this game long ago and i am again playing it.

Unfortunately i could not play the latest one, NFS Pro street as I have to upgrade my poor P4 2.0 :(. But some friends tell me that it is also cool and some tell me that it does not meet up to the expectations.

What do you think?

Very often while you are programming, there are simple things that you need to do and most of the time you rewrite these codes losing time.

Here in this blog, you will find these simple codes that you very often need. I came across these codes while i was programming too :).

One more thing, don't forget that "A Lazy Programmer is a Good Programmer"...

Hope this helps you :)

I am also fond of gaming so I will be giving you some tips on games and we can also discuss about games that you are interested in.
