April Fools at Guild Wars (2007)

As I logged in to claim my Asura mini-pet, I was surprised to find that my Crispin, my Paragon, had a sex change. This is apparently part of today’s April Fools event, and it only happens in Lion’s Arch, Shing Jea Monestary, and Kamadan.

Since time was running out, I proceeded to take snapshots of [...]

"Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords" Demo Review

“Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords” is basically a RPG (role-playing game). You pick a class, equip your character with stuff, take on quests, fight baddies, level-up, assign points to your stats, etc. Combat, however, is executed by playing a Bejeweled type puzzle.

Your level and equipment determine your HP (hit-points), and your class [...]

Magic: The Gathering Online III Initial Screen Shots and Updates

I think a lot of Magic: The Gathering Online (MtGO) players have been waiting for this update. Unfortunately, form the looks of the blog entry linked by the article, they still have quite a few issues to fix. That’s fine with me, better to make sure you deploy a good working version than [...]

Guild Wars Asura Mini-Pet and "Eye of the North"

Guild Wars will release a new mini-pet named Asura, and it’s going to be made available via various magazines, similar to what they did with the Miniature Gray Giant. For the Philippines, it will most likely be the PC Gamer magazine from the US (May issue #161). To those wondering which of the [...]

SketchFighter 4000 alpha

Too bad this game is only available for the Mac. “SketchFighter 4000 alpha” (whatta name ) is a ship battle presented in a paper doodle theme. If you ever drew space-ships duking it out to pass the time while the teacher droned on and on about this gibberish or that, this game [...]

Cat or Mini-Rug?

Some people who have seen my this blog told me that what they’re interested in seeing is Hanachi-e. OK, so she’s my draw for this blog. Well, for those Hanachi-e fans out there, I managed to get this pic today. When I look at the pic, though, I wonder [...]

Close 3-Way Showdown to End the Day

I lost an all-in this afternoon ‘coz I was so confident with my cards I got blind to the straight that was in front of me. I managed to regain what I lost somewhat, but it made me feel bad to be so blind. I was considering sleeping it over, but an itch [...]

You gotta love those "ladies"!

I was lucky enough to win a relatively huge pot at Full Tilt with QQ (“ladies”)!!! I’m rarely lucky with pre-flop all-ins, so I’m not gonna push my luck much further for today.

Learning to Transcend the Crawl

I tried to get back my max play money in Triplejack Poker, but I was just a few hundred dollars away. Still, I made a careful and calculated comeback. I noticed that aside from Filipino’s, the players are mostly Aussies. It’s probably because of the time-zone.

I think that tight play is good [...]

"Hanachi-e" the Persian Cat

It’s been a busy few days, I’ll try to mention a little something about the major events.

First off, my SO got herself a pet last 10/31. She’s a Persian cat, female, around 3 months old. After mulling over a few names, we decided to name her “Hanachi-e”. She wanted a Japanese sounding name, so we [...]
