Default Downloading Videos from Youtube, Myspace Vids, Turbo Nick, Live Video, etc.

Now, as many of us know, Youtube and many other popular video sites will often take down the best videos in a matter of weeks after posting because of copyright infringement. However, it is possible to download them to your computer without many troubles to have them infinitely.

Disclaimer
The legal status of this progress is often debated, as many times downloading copyrighted content is illegal, however generally companies do not prosecute unless you upload it back to the Internet. After all, they really can't legally know you have it on your computer.

Perquisites

1. Broadband (or faster) Internet Connection
2. Fairly Large Harddrive

Process
1. Download and install Firefox (if you haven't already).
2. Download the Video Download Helper, a plugin for Firefox. Now restart Firefox.
3. At this point, you should be able to download videos on most flash sites. For instance, go to Youtube where on most videos you can find an icon to the left of video title. Also, on search results, by right clicking the title of a video, you will see a "Download Youtube Video(s)" menu.
4. Now we have the video, but we can't always view it. It is possible to set up an automatic conversion the video in the plugin's settings, though by default a format unrecognized by Windows will be used. Because of this, we need a player to view it. There are several out there, so you can look for your own, but I use Video LAN. It is a bit rough around the edges, but overall works very well.

ZamFights Beta should come around Christmas, now.

Spoiler Alert:  ZamFights Progress    

Summary

ZamFights, a Pokemon Mass Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game, developed by Pokezam's Webmaster Freezewarp, continues its development into Alpha 7, where you can trade Pokemon with a global trade station like feature and battle other trainers. Several bugs were also fixed.

Alpha 9, now in development, will feature numerous events and locations to go to, that is up to Fuschia. It will also feature the new, interactive map, numerous minor features, and an altered look.

Alpha 9 should come around Thanksgiving, and Alpha 10, or the public Beta, should come around Christmas.

Alpha 8 Preview




I actually like the idea of a sixth generation Pokemon Emerald remix; few people think of the possibilities that one game has in full, colorful, barely pixaleted 3-D (in other words, think of a Play Station 2 or Xbox Original). The existing 3D we have with the DS is good, but the next generation of handheld consoles should give much more detail to the game - imagine being able to change your perspective to look into the sky while the stormcloud is slowly stretching across the region once Kyogre and Groudon have both been awoken. Imagine seeing the sky tower, and a green tail, to the left, and mirages to the right. For that matter, think of Mirage Island!

There are so many other moments for which we could experience in perspective-3D Pokemon Emerald; the battle frontier is one example, but just seeing the sun rise and set as the time passes in Dewford city would be awesome. Of course, my dreams may be more than one generation away; are there any Wii games that even would make this real?
