Games: WoW Expansion formally announced: Burning Crusade

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
Several years have passed since the Burning Legion's defeat at Mount Hyjal and the races of Azeroth have continued to rebuild their once shattered lives. With renewed strength, the heroes of the Horde and Alliance have begun to explore new lands and broken through the Dark Portal to investigate the realms beyond the known world. Will these heroes find friends or foes? What dangers and rewards lie in wait beyond the Dark Portal? And what will they do when they discover that the demons they thought vanquished have returned to renew their terrible Burning Crusade?

World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade is the exciting new expansion to Blizzard's award-winning massively multiplayer online role-playing game. It expands the game by tremendous bounds, adding new races, lands, Battlegrounds, professions and items, and more. Here is just a partial list of what you can expect from the World of Warcraft expansion:
An increase in the level cap to 70
Two new playable races, including the magical Blood Elves
New starting zones in Quel'Thalas and beyond
The entire new continent of Outland, reachable through the
Dark Portal
Many new high-level dungeons to explore in Azeroth,
Outland, and elsewhere
New flying mounts in Outland
Many new and dangerous monsters, including epic world
bosses
Hundreds of new quests
Hundreds of new items
A new profession: Jewelcrafting
Socketed items
And much, much more...

Be Warned: Civilization 4 is dangerous for your health. Its so addicting that the developers even put an in-game alarm clock so you know when to stop playing and continue with your life. I hate you, Sid Meier. and the guys at Firaxis. lol. Great Multiplayer out of the box too! I could write more but i have some Aztec Jaguar butt to kick....

Games: RF Online Sneak Peek

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
This game makes me appreciate the polish that Blizzard (WoW) has on their games. RF Online has amazing potential although i think they need to fix the text display bugs, polish the camera lag, allow windowed mode, get a better translator and spruce up the environment.

Quake 4 ingame Screenshot.
Impressions: Initial gameplay gives the impression that this is basically Doom 3 with a somewhat more interesting story. It looks great although im not really a fan of the "demon/strogg jumping/bursting out of nowhere" kind of encounters.

Impressions: F.E.A.R. freaks me out. Its the Vampire Bloodlines haunted mansion all over again but this time its one whole friggin' haunted game! Great effects and firefights complement the spooky atmosphere.

Games: World of Warcraft The Return

Im just waiting for my own personal account to be reactivated although ive been tinkering with Ramil's former account. Not bad since i get to play his Level 60 Shaman.But damn if i dont miss my own level 60 Orc Hunter and his insanely cool(pun intended) frostsaber pet, not to mention my hoard of gold amassed through (both?) the auction houses and painstaking farm..errr grinding.

Word is much has been improved with hunter's since i left WoW 5 months ago, pets tank more and i even see mages whining about how pets literally tear them to shreds due to improvements. Ha!

Im thinking of moving into the Pet mastery more although i do like to hit hard using my Hurricane (can i still sell this thing for like 800g?).I still have lots of uber loot stashed in my bank as well, might be a good time to sell em off since Feathermoon seems to be full all the time meaning more potential buyers.bwahahahha.

If you bought an Ipod Mini or Shuffle the last 3 mos, you were screwed because the Nano is a much better purchase. If you bought that black 4gb Nano a couple of weeks ago then it may sadden you to know that the video ipod is only (only lng daw no? hehe)a couple of thousand pesoses more but plays video too.

Ah, Progress!

Nintendo's Genre Innovation Strategy

Abbreviated Content:

Nintendo’s strategy of pursuing innovation benefits the entire industry. It brings in new audiences and creates new genres that provide innovative and exciting experiences. The radical new controller is a great example of this strategy in action.

Surprisingly, this also benefits Microsoft and it benefits Sony. As the years pass, the hard core publishers that serve mature genres will adopt previously innovative genres and commoditize them. Their profits will be less, but they’ll keep a lot of genre addicts very happy. Everybody wins when a game company successfully innovates.

Read it and your Gaming IQ may just go up a few points....

They can let SONY and MS battle each other for living room while positioning the Rev as an aletrnative or a companion unit to the two. I cant wait to play basketball/sword fights on this thing.

The 3.5 x 1.6 x 0.27-inch device will feature 500 song/2GB and 1,000 song/4GB capacities, a 1.5-inch color display, and, of course, a click wheel, which appears to have a drastically larger center button.

Stargate SG-1 Season Nine

Holy Crap! Sg-1 has been disbanded, O'Neill is in retirement, Daniel is going to Atlantis, Carter is on the Offworld Base and Tealc is tied up at the Jaffa homeworld.

Now there is a new commanding officer for SG-1 and he is not happy that he needs to build a new team from scratch.

Sounds wonky? it sure is. The only saving grace so far is the appearance of "Andromeda" Lexa Doig who plays SGC's Dr. Lam.

Games: PS2 Makai Kingdom: Mini Review

Makai Kingdom is the latest of Nippon Ichi's hardcore strategy rpgs. It tells the story of Lord Zetta, an overly egotistical Overlord attempting to regain his netherworld back after failing to halt its prophesized downfall by Pram The Oracle, another Overlord.

This latest iteration of the same strategy rpg/leveling formula, employed in such titles as Disgaea and Phantom Brave, is back and better than ever; Even though it features the "gridless" movement system and invite system of Phantom Brave, Makai Kingdom also brings back the Reincarnation and item world feature of Disgaea and also adds a new strategy element to the mix in the form of summoning or "inviting" buildings into battle which gives boost to characters housed within.

The voice acting in English is the best i have heard (no need to switch to Jap unless youre really hardcore into jap voice acting) and the story and characters are hilarious. Nippon Ichi doesnt break new ground with Makai Kingdom (known as Phantom Kingdom in the US) but for the hardcore srpg crowd, this is a must have title.

I just wish that Nippon Ichi earns a lot of $$$$ so that it could start building other franchises and maybe redefine a genre the way they did with Disgaea: HOD.

Just finished the game last night.
highest char e lvl 85 (twice reincarnated/transmigrated) with some level 50's

What D&D Character Are You?

I Am A: Lawful Neutral Human Fighter Ranger

Alignment:
Lawful Neutral characters believe in the triumph of law and order above all else. It does not matter whether the leader is for good or evil; the leader will be followed, because the order they provide is the most important thing.

Race:
Humans are the 'average' race. They have the shortest life spans, and because of this, they tend to avoid the racial prejudices that other races are known for. They are also very curious and tend to live 'for the moment'.

Primary Class:
Fighters are the warriors. They use weapons to accomplish their goals. This isn't to say that they aren't intelligent, but that they do, in fact, believe that violence is frequently the answer.

Secondary Class:
Rangers are the defenders of nature and the elements. They are in tune with the Earth, and work to keep it safe and healthy.

Deity:
Helm is the Lawful Neutral god of guardians and protectors. His followers believe in vigilance and preparedness, and are always ready for whatever confronts them. They wear plate mail, sometimes with gold embossing, with an open eye set into the breastplate, and an open-faced helmet. Helm's symbol is an open eye in a gauntlet.

Putanginang Rally yan.......

Nahihirapan lang taong bayan.
Naghihirap ang pilipinas hinde lang dahil corrupt ang presidente, hinde den anghel ang mga tao na nasa gobyerno. Pati karaniwang mamamayan e walang disiplina, lahat inaasa sa gobyerno. Andaming anak pero di naman kaya. Andaming bisyo kaya kelangang gumawa ng masama para masustentuhan ito.

Nagun potah me rally nanaman. Pede naman sa Malacanang pero kung san madaming nagtratrabaho eh dun pa mag papasikat. Tama na ang papogi.

Napaka biased kse ng movement na ito laban ke Gloria. Ang mga nangunguna sa mga rally sa kanya eh mga taong gustong pumalit sa kanya o gustong sumisip sa taong papalit sa kanya. I dont care kung sino ipalit ke gloria pero kung hinde si Noli De Castro ang ipapalit e kalokohan na itong nangyayari sa atin.Si Noli ang legal na successor at kung siya maggiging presidente e dapat lahat tayo tulungan sya. pero hinde e kung sino nasa puesto e titirahin para makuha puesto nya.

Yung mga nagpapasikat sa Tv na iniinterview e mga taong nakakaamoy ng posisyon kung sakaling ang oposisyon ang umakyat sa puesto. Kung magpapalit ng presidente e gawin sa tama at legal na paraan, HINDE SA PARAAN NA GUSTO NI SUSAN ROCES,NI PING LACSON O NI PIMENTEL O NG CABINET MEMBERS. Selfishness.

Tanga kasi pilipino eh. Sobra. Andami pang nagmamalinis.

Eto na formula ng Pinoy para magpalit ng presidente:
1. Get a wiretap of some incriminating content against the incumbent or bring up the jueteng scandal.
2. Submit it to congress and bring out different personalities declaring the evidence as his or hers.Blow it up in the Media
3. Gather followers of losing presidential candidates and distribute so called evidence. Try to get the military and former leaders to join the cause.Create confusion in the Cabinet by cutting deals and playing up the MORALLY UNFIT label.Use the Media to attack the capacity of the incumbent.
4. Mag Rally kasama ang mga oposisyon na senador, congressmen, sector leaders declaring the incumbent as morally unfit.
5. Once incumbent steps down or goes to prison, allocate government posts to friends and supporters.
6. Repeat and Rinse. Filipinos get screwed once again.

KAHIT PA PINAKAMAGALING NA TAO ANG PRESIDENTE NATIN, KUNG ANG PILIPINO E TANGA, MADALING MABILI ANG PANININDIGAN,TAMAD,BALIMBING e WALANG MANGYAYARI SA ATIN.

DHL - You need to treat your customers better.

Edit June 10 2005: DHL sent a letter saying na kami daw ang at fault at di complete papers. THEN WHY THE HELL DID YOUR DHL EMPLOYEES KEPT SAYING THAT EVERYTHING WAS OK UP TO THE DAY NA ISHISHIP NA?

So its ok to tell us na sorry na lang kung mawalan kami ng pera? to not reprimand an erring employee and pass on the buck to a client while not, at the least, offer some sort of compensation sounds pretty unfair to me.

So if an employee/manager of DHL gives us wrong information which is the cause of a shipment delay and which will cost me a LOT of money e the fault is with us?

THATS BULLSHIT. And as ive said, if this happens to a corporate account, DHL will take our case more seriously than merely brushing it off like they did.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Imagine this:

1. I plan to ship out some ornamental plants to the US.
2. I go with DHL because i (erroneously) believed they provide the best service.
3. We go to DHL with a sample plant to check if they can send out our shipment. They said "No problem,Sir".
4. We also checked if they needed any papers for the shipment, some Phyto Sanitary permit.
5. We purchased the plants back in the province, get the papers DHL needed.
6. We brought the plants to the DHL office for shipping, again being informed that everything was in order. It was a Friday so the shipment will go out on Monday.
7. Tuesday came but DHL suddenly turns around and says "We cant ship your plants....", Now the reason they say is there are 2 more papers required in order to ship. WTF?

*Queue plants wilting, Clients fuming*

8. We cant ship cause no more plants, we cant refund because we were expecting to make money not return it.
9. DHL wants to pay us a $100 for our trouble which doesnt even come close to the $300 that were gonna be refunding. We told them that we will take $200 and shoulder the $100 because i know how hard it is to get something out of these corporate dogs. And that still doesnt account for the embarrasment and humiliation of explaining to the client what the hell happened. Result: No dice.

Im sure if this happened to a Corporate Account, there will be hell to pay at someone at DHL. Magkakandarapa sila trying to minimize damage to the customer.

If it was a natural disaster,then fine thats understandable, but the error came from one of your employees who failed to properly inform us that additional papers were required. Kaya namin yan sir, yan ang sabi sa amin.

BUT if youre just some smalltime or a starting business who got screwed, DHL seemingly doesnt care if you will be getting the embarrasment of explaining to clients what happened and lose money in the process.

Guild Wars

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

Just got a copy of Guild Wars. Look for Anaka Nginamo or Anaka Nginamorin to say hi. =)

Mini Review:
PVP Action rocks.Counterstrike for RPGs.
I hate the loot drop types, too limited especially coming from WoW and Diablo.
I love the world though, great graphics engine.
Gotta love the way your cape sways when you move.
I also hate the "railings" on the paths.not to mention you cant jump.
Awesome character designs.I wish wow would implement some of the ideas here.
I also like the Streaming Updates.No Patch Day Server downtime here.
GW makes you feel part of a bigger world, esp with Koreans and Americans vying for supremacy atop the international ladder.
Not as deep as WoW but a great game nonetheless.
Did i mention it has NO MONTHLY FEE?

See ya online. =)

Sex and WoW: 3/22/05 Content Patch


Image hosted by Photobucket.com

It seems like somebody's been getting some Rp action on the Feathermoon server. Here's hoping that this is a couple who wanted to have a steamy WoW episode, not some grumpy old men seeking companionship and world peace.
NEW CONTENT PATCH for WoW is online in 6 hours at 11am PST.

He may not be the most talented wrestler that got slammed on a mat but there is no denying that Hulk Hogan fueled an industry in the 80's and 90's in order to get it where it is today. It is only fitting that he be inducted in the 2005 class a night before Wrestlemania XXI, an event where a lot of his most memorable moments (slamming Andre the Giant for example) were made.

'Grats Hulkster.
