The worst problem I’ve ever encountered was a hard drive crash which resulted in the loss of 300 gbs of my favorite data. Had I been a wise man, I would have used a free backup storage service to keep my data secure.
Media Max Free Backup Storage
Media Max offers 25gbs of monthly backup storage with no monthly fee. Any amount greater and you’ll have to start paying. The only problem is, they only allow 1gb of transfer and sharing. Does that mean it will take 25 months to get your data back after you upload it? All music, pictures, movies can be viewed directly from the web without download. This means ease of mind knowing you can view your files wherever you are. 25 gigs should enough for anyone to host at least a good chunk of files.
XDrive Free Backup File Storage
XDrive only offers 5gbs of storage, but its automatic feature makes the deal especially attractive. Rather than having to remember to save your files, XDrive does the remembering for you by allowing you to schedule an automatic backup of all your data. You just schedule the day, time, and how much you want backed up.

Finally we get 1.0 of the infamous Flight Gear, a great flight simulator that took 10 years of development. With Flight Gear we can even fly 1903 Wright Flyer or even military jets. Flight Gear never strays from detail, letting us see the world in its entirety.
Flight Gear 1.0 3d Elements
3d Cockpits the same as their original, realistic landscapes (try flying through New York), clouds, and even airports are simulated with Flight Gear. This may even be better than Microsoft’s version of Flight Simulator.

Got a slow, sluggish laptop or computer that seems to be the turtle compared to the rest of the gang? There is a small software program out that that will free up System Ram.
AnalogX MaxMem
What this free Ram Utility does is clear out your ram so your computer can run fast again. It isn’t necessarily a Ram booster since it isn’t added any ram capacity. Sometimes your computer’s Ram gets so overloaded that its just chugging along. AnalogX, as I said, just deletes everything that has filled up your Ram and frees it. Each time you notice things getting slow and sluggish, just run AnalogX and your problem is solved, for now…

Rockstar has decided to give its classic games away, completely for free. Now you can download Grand Theft Auto 1 and 2 Free online as well as Wild Metal Volume 2. What does this mean? Reliving the classics, for free!
Grand Theft Auto, Overhead Style
You might notice how the Grand Theft Auto series has significantly changed over the years. Back in the original first two games everything was done with an overhead view. Plus, you couldn’t get out of the car. How fun is that? Still we have to give homage to the first games that later gave way to the 3d versions as we know them today.

I’ve been covering many first person shooters lately on ClickforNick’s Free Software Blog, mainly, because these free first person shooters. Let’s take a look at Warsow.
Warsow, a cartoony Shooter
Warsow uses the Quake 2 engine, yet redesigned the graphics to give them a cartoony feel. Have you seen the movie a Scanner Darkly? Both this game at the movie has a similar feel.
According to Warsow:
“Warsow is developped under the motto “by gamers for gamers” by a team coming from all kinds of gaming backgrounds. To attain the “by gamers for gamers” spirit, the community are our betatesters, both through internal testing sessions (with community members) and in the feedback on the public releases.”

Sauerbraten, the name threw me off at first since in Germany it is a roast meat. Online its a first person multi-player shooter. Just one week ago they’ve release the latest version of Sauerbrater called the Assassin Edition.
Eye Candy?
From the screen shots, Sauerbraten is no roast meat, rather a very well designed game with some of the best graphics I’ve seen for free first person shooters. With games this good looking, why should anyone need to pay for shooting people online? Why not take out that aggression for free? If you’ve played Cube, the predecessor, then it is time to make an upgrade and start playing Sauerbraten.
