Beach Life Virtual Resort: Spring Break - Opening and Editing The .BLE Game Files

Image
images taken from the game and from the game manual I have an itch to play Beach Life every now and then. The last time it happened, I found a band-aid solution to guests complaining about high prices. I wanted to make more changes if I could but I couldn't find a way to open and read some of the script files. There are some files in the game that are readable on notepad ( GameParameters.pis and the other . pis files on each scenario and sandscenario folder) but when you try to open up the . ble files, you only see random symbols. I've tried tools that I've seen recommended online ( Game Extractor , Ghidra , Offzip to name a few). Admittedly, I did just glaze over them because I know nothing about reverse engineering a game and didn't know what to do. I have an inkling to play it again recently, and I decided to try an idea that has been looming over my head but have been avoiding....

How to make your Google+ Gaming easier

When Google+ started to offer games, one feature that I would really like for them to add was to see game notifications and game stream updates separately for each game. After a while, it was tiring trying to sift through the game stream to click notifications for the games that I play, since it is inevitable to get notifications for games that I don't play that other people in my circles do. So I was really thankful when someone in my circle shared this Chrome extension, G+ Game Companion . It truly made my gaming experience in Google+ easier. I have been using it for a while now, and I can't even remember when I installed it.

More and more games are being added to Google+! There are five new games: Happy Kingdom , Uno Boost , Shadow Fight , Slotomania - Slot Machines and Millionaire City .

The folks over at Google Plus rolled out the new 'Pages' feature earlier this week aimed for brands and businesses (similar to Facebook's Fan Pages). I think it's a pretty interesting move since G+ has a lot of cool features that business owners and brands that can take advantage of. Circles can provide an easier way to promote something to a specific group of customers and Hangouts allows a different sort of interactivity with the customers. It still needs a bit of tweaking, but this new feature definitely has promise. Check out this blogs G+ Page below. Wouldn't hurt to +1 my page and add me to your circles :D Neknek. Kenken. Official Google Plus Page
