How to check League of Legends Game ping before loading the game?


We have faced Lags in-game and to be honest, sometimes when we make a shout-out in the game chat saying that we lag and if you are on matchmaking queue...they will probably bash us on it. So, to avoid such incident here I show you how to check your game ping without loading the game client.

This technique tests the connection speed between your machine/computer and the League of Legends Game Server. 

Let's get to some basics, the lower the ping the better/smoother the game experience. That being said here are some values that will give you a good idea how your game will be:


Ping
Rating
Comment

0 – 100ms


VERY GOOD

Good Game, NO lag


100 – 200ms


FAIR

Choppy or unresponsive clicks, still playable but I would suggest a safe-play style.


More than 200ms

VERY BAD

DO NOT PLAY, you will be disconnected at any moment.



The game ping will change every second, so the maximum and the minimum ping as you will see in the video below will give you an idea of the ping range.


You should take note of the MAXIMUM ping and check it against the table above for best estimation. Because, the MAXIMUM ping is the highest possible ping you can reach in-game, and if you do reach this ping, in-game disaster will strike if it is more than 200ms.

Here is a short video on how to check League of Legends in-game ping without loading the game:



In the video above, I use windows 8 but in other version of windows ( 7 and Vista)...there is a search box right in the start menu...see below:


Just search for "cmd" without the " and follow the steps in the video.

That's it....Have fun Summoners....

How to burn movies/videos for free with EXCELLENT playback quality?


Let go straight to the point,

Many software vendors give away free burning software with some hidden cost. Its either they place a watermark on the output or reduce the playback quality. To get the full featured and maximum quality you will be asked to buy the so called “premium” version.

I’m really no fan of this lies, so I found a COMPLETELY free software that does the job like it says and best of all it has an EXCELLENT playback quality!

DVD FLICK its open source and free,

Download it here: DVD Flick

Many people fail to burn using this program or get a bad playback quality because they configure it wrongly. In the video below I show you how to correctly configure DVD Flick for maximum performance.

Any questions leave a comment and I’ll get back to you…

8 Steps and Make Firefox Faster Than Google Chrome!!!


Firefox is an amazing browser but, I as a Firefox enthusiast have to admit that Google Chrome has the advantage over Firefox in terms of speed and how snappy it can be.
Here are 8 steps that will make Firefox Faster and Snappier than before. I’ve used it for quite sometime and it hasn’t given me any issue.

Steps:

Step 1: Open a new tab and type about:config into the Firefox Address Bar. Then click on “I’ll be careful, I promise!”

Step 2 and 3: In the filter area(See in the video below), type pipelining. Then follow the steps shown in the video.

Step 4: Right-click anywhere inside the page and select New > Integer. Name it
nglayout.initialpaint.delay and set the value to “0″.

Step 5: Right-click anywhere inside the page and select New > Integer. Name it content.notify.interval and set the value to “500000″. Yes, that is five hundred thousand.

Step 6: Right-click anywhere inside the page and select New > Boolean. Name it content.notify.ontimer and set the value to “true″.

We’re almost done….

Step 7: Right-click anywhere inside the page and select New > Integer. Name it content.switch.threshold and set the value to “250000″. Yes, that is two hundred fifty thousand.

Finally…

Step 8: Right-click anywhere inside the page and select New > Boolean. Name it content.interrupt.parsing and set the value to “false″. Yes, that is false.

Close Firefox and restart it. You should see performance increase immediately.

NOTE: Installing a lot of add-ons will definitely slow your firefox, so uninstall any unwanted add-ons .

Watch this video as I show you how to do the above:

How to remove WAT?


Another way to say it is “How to stop Windows from telling me that its not genuine?”
Well first things first, I STRONGLY suggest you to go and buy the original key or disc. Because Microsoft has put a lot of effort and workmanship in producing Windows 7. If we don’t buy the original key, they would eventually run out of resource to bring out an even better version of Windows in the future.
The reason this article was written is for those of you who need a little extra time before you could go and buy the key – for whatever reason(school project, business presentation, etc.). The steps you’re about to learn will make the WAT Notification disappear permanently unless you install any update from Microsoft that reinstalls WAT in your system or any other update that functions similar to WAT.
Download WAT Remover here: WAT Remover 2.2.8
