FREERICE UPDATE
The totals of the last three months for FreeRice:

MAY 2009: 1,403,545,670
JUNE 2009: 929,906,500
JULY 2009: 652,730,310
AUGUST 2009: 787,320,460

It's been about a year since the totals started to slip, if my memory serves me correctly. They went downwards like this last summer, but the totals this year are worse. Even if the months are starting to get better after July, it needs more views than before. If you want to spread awareness of this site, one way of doing so is putting the FreeRice stamp on your Journals.


If you don't have a prescription, this can work, too.


Another way is to spread the word of the site and how it works on your Journals and all over the Internet and your community.

For those who don't know what FreeRice is, I'll gladly explain:
As the site provides English vocabulary to everyone for free, it at the same time provides rice to hungry people around the world, also for free. The catch? You'll only have to answer multiple-choice vocabulary questions. Every one you get right, 10 grains of rice will be donated to the United Nations World Food Program. It's very surprisingly that simple.

Since we're all in a global recession or at least trying to recover from it, this site needs a LOT of visitors this year, even more than last year's.

tagged me, now I got to do this.

I intentionally made mine similar to his kind of because I just want to make this Journal quick. XD

- - -

1 - Post the rules.
2 - Each tagged person must tell 8 things about themselves.
3 - At the end you must tag 8 people and put their icon in your journal.
4 - Then go to their page and leave a comment saying you tagged them.
5 - Choose three deviations of the person who tagged you and feature them in the first slot.
6 - The first fifteen people who comment on this journal tag will have three deviations chosen from their galleries featured in the tag.

1. My name is kind of gay, I know (as in literally gay, [says Mr. Obvious]), but I may get a new account just to get a new one unless DeviantART gives us the option to change ours in our own account sometime by the end of the year. I don't feel too comfortable with it anymore.

2. The World Ends With You is possibly the most narratively pleasing game I've ever played. Even about as much as Okami, which is hard to do. Far Cry 2, on the other hand, is possibly the least, but at least I didn't get it for that. B(

3. I suck at fighting games and ESPECIALLY racing. Fighting games are still fun to me, but racing...not so much, not even Mario Kart. Speaking of which, I sold my Mario Kart DS at a Gamestop for $22! They'll pay (and charge) good money for Mario and Zelda games or least my store does.

4. I'm a complete whore for user-created content and character customization! THE reason why I got Far Cry 2 was for the Map Editor, Halo 3 for the Forge and Theater modes, the Soul Caliburs for the Create-A-Souls, et cetera, et cetera, and the reason why I want a PS3 so I can play LittleBigPlanet! 8D

5. I mainly hope to get a digital video camera for Christmas, though. LittleBigPlanet can wait another year.

6. I thought about finding someone who has a capture card so I can mooch off them to make Halo 3 machinima, but since Bungie Pro got updated so you can actually see your videos on the computer, that will no longer be needed.

7. Soul Calibur IV is the most rushedest good fighting game EVARRRRRRRRRRR! Well, actually, I hear the new King of Fighters is now.

8. Holding out to buy the English version of Soul Silver. I only tried looking at most of the basic gameplay on a friend's Japanese version as to not spoil myself too much and I must say the touch-screen mechanics are MUCH more expanded to the point that the only thing that it may NOT be able to do on the touch screen is just move around. Moving Pokemon around in the PC is certainly quicker as is searching for a certain item in one category, I think. Man, in D/P/P, it sure took me quite a while to look for what I need to find in that one item category. XD

The first fifteen people who comment here will have three deviations chosen from their galleries featured in the tag until after New Year's Day 2010!
