Online gaming offers more than fun; it’s an all-around experience. However, what happens in your interaction is strongly influenced by the technology you have. If you want to get rewards or just rest, setting up the right environment will help a lot. We will go over some tips to help you find the right gaming technology.

Understand Your Gaming Style

Ask yourself who you are as a gamer before making any technology purchases. 

Are you interested in games with lots of action, interesting stories, or easy games you play while traveling? Which programming language you decide on will shape your technology stack. 

Kinds of Gaming Styles:

• Casual Gaming – You can play casual games quickly, usually on your mobile device.
• Competitive Gaming– In competitive games, speed responses and powerful equipment are very important.
• Story-based Gaming– Immersive gamers surround the player in the story with great graphics and sound. 
• Multiplayer Gaming– Online multiplayer needs both fast internet and steady game hardware.

By choosing what games you like, you can pick the right gear without buying more than you need.

Choose the Right Device

The heart of your setup is your gaming device.

Common Gaming Devices

• Smartphones – For mobile and casual gaming, smartphones are, without a doubt, a strong choice.
• Gaming laptops – Equipped with mighty processors and the ability to be carried around, gaming laptops are definitely portable.
• Desktops – If you need excellent performance, choose a desktop.
• Consoles –If you like to play games only available on consoles or games you control with controllers, a console is just the thing for you.

All offer certain pros and cons. If you’re out on the road a lot, mobile access might work better for you. If you enjoy games with intense graphics, a gaming PC, as a matter of fact, will be a good buy.

Don’t Overlook Accessories and Apps

With good accessories, your chances of winning go up. Good apps can help make shopping even more enjoyable.
Points to Factor in:

• Buy a gaming mouse or controller that can respond quickly.
• Listen using headphones that have surround sound capabilities.
• You may want to try using a laptop cooling pad.
• Use tools that can actually help you to the fullest. 

One of the best examples of money-making gaming apps is the daman game app, which offers a range of money-making games, so it is not just about having fun. You can easily play it on your phone, and it provides a reliable place for both fun and prizes.

Focus on Performance Essentials

Device type does not change the fact that performance is key. Problems like sluggish gameplay, blurry pictures, or sudden crashes can lower the fun.

Points to Toy With:

• Processor (CPU) – Slower CPU means the game will appear slower
• Graphics processing unit (GPU) – to handle advanced visuals carefully
• RAM –Multitasking is faster when you have a lot of RAM.
• Storage – SSDs can transfer data much faster.

Buy hardware that is compatible with the games you want to play. Always review the upgrade possibilities before buying a computer.

Finding the right tech can make your gaming experience even better. Your style should be matched by the best device, performance, and app choices you can make. Smart choices, safety first, and use your technology to get the most out of your trip.

Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we maintain and update our existing Top 50 lists annually.  As such, we are delighted to present our post-2024 revision of our top 50 Arizona Cardinals.

As for all of our top 50 players in baseball, we look at the following: 

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Football League.

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles that are not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, the Cardinals finished 8-9 and missed the playoffs.  As the franchise is one of the oldest in the league, there was little movement and only one new entrant.

As always, we present our top five, which remain unchanged.

1. Larry Wilson

2. Larry Fitzgerald

3. Charley Trippi

4. Roger Wehrli

5. Dan Dierdorf

Days after the Florida Panthers won their second straight Stanley Cup, the Hockey Hall of Fame has named its Class of 2025, which features eight new members, including six former players and two builders.

Let’s take a look at the newest members of the Hockey Hall of Fame:

Jennifer Botterill:  Botterill played collegiately at Harvard, where she was a four-time All-American and four-time All-ECAC Selection.  The native of Winnipeg represented Canada in multiple tournaments, winning three Olympic Gold Medals and six World Championships. 

Zdeno Chara:  From Slovakia, Chara stood at 6 9” and was as much of a leader as he was tall.  Chara began his pro career with the New York Islanders but was quickly dealt to the Ottawa Senators, where he proved himself to be a star.  He signed with the Boston Bruins as a free agent in 2006, where he led the Bruins to a Stanley Cup victory in 2011, won the Norris Trophy in 2009, the Mark Messier Leadership Trophy in 2011, and was named a three-time First Team All-Star.  Chara scored 680 Points over his lengthy NHL career.

Brianna Decker:  The 2012 Patty Kazmaier Award winner, Decker starred at the University of Wisconsin and for Team U.S.A., where she won one Olympic Gold Medal and six World Hockey Championships.

Duncan Keith:  Keith anchored the Chicago Blackhawks to three Stanley Cup Championships (2010, 2013 & 2015) and captured two Norris Trophies (2010 & 2014) and the 2015 Conn Smythe Trophy.  He was also instrumental in Canada’s 2010 and 2014 Olympic Gold Medals.

Alexander Mogilny:  Mogilny finally breaks through after being eligible since 2009.  His defection from the Soviet Union set a chain reaction that allowed for Russian players to enter the NHL, and his 76 Goals for the Buffalo Sabres in 1992/93 remains a club record.  Mogilny is also a member of the Triple Gold Club, having won a Stanley Cup with New Jersey, an Olympic Gold medal, and a World Championship with Russia.  Notably, he was also the first Russian to be named an NHL captain.

Jack Parker (Builder):  Parker was the Head Coach at Boston University where he led the Terriers to three NCAA National Championships (1978, 1995 & 2009) and six Hockey East Tournaments.  He had an overall record of 897-472-115 and is a three-time Spencer Penrose Award winner as the NCAA Coach of the Year.

Daniele Sauvageau (Builder):  Sauvageau makes history as the first female builder to enter the Hall.  This is another in the long line of firsts for Sauvageau, who led Canada to Olympic Gold in 2002 (Canada’s first), was the first female coach in the QMJHL and is currently the General Manager of the the Montreal Victoire of the PFWHL.

Joe Thornton.  Thornton was expected to get inducted in the first year, and that is what the former Hart Trophy and Art Ross Trophy winner did.  Thornton is a member of the 1,500-point club in a career split with the Boston Bruins and San Jose Sharks.  An Olympic Champion with Canada in 2010, Thornton is seventh all-time in Assists (1,109).
