I know I’m not the best at playing games but a certain website made me realize that I actually suck at it. I am the kind of typical netizen that has a very short attention span. When something piques my interest, I somewhat quickly latch on to it and just as quickly, lose interest.
A little background. Growing up in a rather poor environment has prevented me from getting too in-depth with the gaming industry mainly because consoles / games when I was young were either too expensive to own personally or is the least of the priorities when buying house stuff.

Anyway, I didn’t spoil the surprise for myself by not looking for screenshots and videos showing the latest Ubuntu.

There comes a time when you want to access a certain website and find out that it’s not available for your current location or is blocked by your ISP for some bizarre reason. This is mostly true especially on countries other than the US. Another instance would be a country-exclusive website that doesn’t allow access from outsiders. What if you’re currently out-of-the-country and you actually are participating in such websites. How will you access them? That’s where this product / service called Free Hide IP comes into play.
