![]() ![]() I read every piece of feedback submitted and use it all to help decide what changes and features to implement to both the website and games. If you have any thoughts, issues or ideas don't keep them to yourself - let me know. Rather than guess or assume what you want I have a secret weapon - I ask! You will notice feedback buttons and often short surveys popping up around the site. I continuously update this website with new games and improvements. This is another advantage of removing video adverts as it means you can start playing your chosen game much faster or try out many different games to find a good one without watching an advert each time. I've also worked hard with site optimizations to make everything work as fast as possible. That's why I've used the latest cloud hosting technology to serve it all over the world from a location near you. I want players to be able to click (or tap) and play instantly. All the games on scale to fit any size screen so you can enjoy them on any device. It is frustrating when you are trying to play a game but its size is completely different to your screen. All of the games on the homepage of this site are compatible on any device. Or you want to show a friend you can pull it up on their tablet. I wanted to make a consistent experience on any device so if you play a fun game on your computer in the afternoon you can come back later on your phone to play it in bed. Other times if you visit the website on desktop then mobile you are presented with completely different games. Often web games will only work on computers and if you visit on a mobile device they don't play. I wanted to create a consistent experience across all devices. I'm not saying that online games should replace apps - I think there are great reasons for both and they can happily exist alongside each other □ 3. ![]() Online Games solve all of these problems. ![]() They can only be played on one type of device (iPhone, Android etc.). It can be a drag waiting for them to install when you just want to quickly play something new. For instance it can be tiresome installing and deleting many apps to find the game you want. I think there are some compelling reasons to give online games another shot though. Online □Īpps have been the most popular way to play casual games for a while now. All of our games and all of their content is 100% free - no exceptions! 2. All of the games on this website are complete full games with no in-game purchases whatsoever. This strategy works and some people are spending huge amounts of money on their favorite games over time without realizing how much it has added up. It seems the catch for playing free games is that they will use every trick in the book to make you pay - often many times more than you would pay for a game outright. In-app purchases and micro-transactions have become the norm in free games these days, withholding content or frustrating you to try and make you buy power-ups. With this project there are a number of things that I set out to achieve: 1. I've used this experience along with some new ideas to make this website,, my fresh take on a free game website. What started as a hobby has turned in to my passion and over the past fourteen years I've learned a lot about web games. I've also developed over a hundred web games and they've been played somewhere around a billion times! I picked up some cool awards along the way including a Guinness World Record and a BAFTA Special Commendation. My previous site,, was visited by 65 million people. ![]() I've been developing free games and websites since 2006. Hi, my name is Gaz, welcome to my website. ![]() ![]() ![]() Of the 34 phones on offer at MetroPCS, 25 have price tags that are less than $200 - and in many cases, special offers lower the price to less than $100. If you don't want to buy that phone outright, you can pay it off in $6 installments over 24 months.Ĭomparing an Apple iPhone 7 Plus (left) and the LG G6 (right), which is a bargin at T-Mobile.īut MetroPCS is the better choice for bargain prices on phones. If you go the installment route to pay for your phone, your monthly payment will be less than $10 on these models.įor budget shoppers, T-Mobile just added its own phone - the $150 T-Mobile Revvl. (The LG G6, in particular, is a bargain at T-Mobile - $500, which is more than $100 less than what the other major carriers charge.) You can find a few budget-priced phones at T-Mobile, with six handsets currently selling for less than $200. You’d expect a major carrier like T-Mobile to offer a wide selection of phones, and you’d be correct: at present, the carrier offers 31 phones, including the latest flagships from Samsung, Apple and LG. We ran into delays in getting responses to questions posed on Twitter and Facebook, and MetroPCS offers no online chat feature to speak of. Although phone support is available 24 hours a day, navigating through MetroPCS's menus is a hassle and you won't always get accurate information. ![]() MetroPCS improved its customer service in our testing, though it still has a long way to go to match T-Mobile. The ZTE Zmax Pro is a MetroPCS-exclusive. That costs another $10 per month to lift. Paying up for MetroPCS's $60 unlimited plan adds 10GB of LTE hotspot data, but you still have restrictions on video streaming. You also can't tether with MetroPCS's $50 plan, whereas T-Mobile One gives you unlimited hotspot data, albeit at 3G speeds. There are some caveats, though: as with T-Mobile, you're restricted to 480p resolution on video streaming. Families who want unlimited data see more modest cost savings at MetroPCS.įor Individuals: MetroPCS's unlimited data plan costs $50 a month - $20 less than what you'd pay at T-Mobile. (Previously, MetroPCS's cheapest plan started at 1GB, but the carrier has boosted data allotments as part of a promotion.) MetroPCS's plans for individuals cost less than what you'd pay at T-Mobile. In contrast MetroPCS offers four plans, ranging from just 2GB of LTE data to an unlimited offering of its own. MetroPCS's unlimited data plan costs $50 a month - $20 less than what you'd pay at T-Mobile. A newly unveiled variation on that unlimited plan should appeal to seniors: T-Mobile lets anyone 55 years and older get two lines of unlimited data for $60 a month. A $10-a-month add-on lets you stream video at HD resolution, among other benefits, while a $25-a-month package throws in unlimited international calling to landlines and mobile numbers in select countries. T-Mobile offers a lone plan: a $70-a-month T-Mobile One plan with unlimited data. That's not to say that MetroPCS customers won't find themselves deprioritized at some point, but in our experience, the speed gap isn't as noticeable as it is with other Big Four carriers and the mobile virtual network operators that piggyback on their service. In some of the testing spots around the country, in fact, MetroPCS even outperformed its parent company. T-Mobile had a average download speed of 23.5 Mbps nationally, compared with 22.1 Mbps for MetroPCs. Still, when we did our own LTE speed testing, we noticed minimal difference between T-Mobile and MetroPCS. T-Mobile does reserve the right to prioritize traffic for its own subscribers when there's heavy demand on its network: In other words, MetroPCS customers may face slower speeds if there are lot of other users tapped into T-Mobile's network at any given time. ![]() But there can be limitations on just how much MetroPCS customers benefit from T-Mobile's network. ![]() ![]() ![]() Images will appear as shortcodes which can be added into the template.

Then I gently pull it through the beads until I’ve worked past the knot and it’s hidden in the beadwork. I usually tie a square knot between the end of the first thread and the start of the second. If you run out of thread there are two ways to handle it. Either version will give you a great finished project, so it’s mostly a matter of personal preference and what feels most comfortable. The alternate version may also be a good choice if you beads are very irregular and you’re getting a lot of waves and texture – the alternative might result in smoother beadwork. The alternate version is also better for beads with larger holes, as a lot more thread builds up in the holes that way. The alternate version will be a bit sturdier, but the original will have more drape. Go through the 2 most recent beads on the new row.

Loom beading is faster than off-loom bead stitches. In loom beadwork, the beads align in a row and column formation.

One concern is heat - the final will be played in July, when Dallas temperatures regularly top 100 degrees and almost always top 90 - but the stadium itself, with its retractable roof, is climate-proof. “So you could have another 100,000 people having some kind of World Cup experience out there in Arlington,” Hunt said.
