Busy Week

No Gravatar

Yep, this week’s been so busy that I don’t even have the time to browse the internets for news.  I don’t knwo what’s going on in the world, except for the fact that “The Dark Knight” is already out in theaters here in the Philippines.

No, I haven’t seen it.  I’ll be seeing it next week with my closest friends and colleagues.

I’ve been so busy in fact that the only time I could steal for 3 was some hours earlier, and Kalimdor was down at the time!  So I decided to upgrade my Wordpress, but the freakin’ internet connection kept DCing on me!

was the only thing I was able to squeeze in.  Unfortunately, the internet connection somehow knew when I was on the winning side and conveniently decides to take a breather in the worst possible times.  Given the bad luck, I was ironically lucky to get a new card!

In spite of fate messing around with my internet connection, I thank the heavens that was designed to be casually playable.  All the long days, it was the only thing that kept me sane.

Kongregate’s Kongai has been released!

Kongai

All the cards I earned by playing Kongregate’s Card Challege games these past months will finally be put to use! David Sirlin announced in his website that Kongai, one of the games he’s been designing, is already released to the public!

Here’s a description from David:
Kongai Main Menu

What is this virtual card game that I’ve been working on forever? Now you can find out for yourself here. It’s deceptively simple in that you only make about two clicks per turn: first choose your fighting range, then choose amongst attack / inercept / rest / switch characters. And yet I think you’ll find it tests the interesting skills of yomi (reading the mind of the opponent) and valuation (judging the relative value of moves in a game).

Kongai Deck Builder

It turns out, I only missed 6 cards (ergo 6 weeks) since the card challenges started. Since you get to pick 3 additional cards from the ones you don’t have yet, I basically missed only 3 cards.

BTW, in case you didn’t realize it, the game is free. You get to pick 3 cards for your “starter” (3’s all you need to play the basic game) and earn more cards by playing the game or by completing the weekly Card Challenges in Kongregate.

Go try Kongai out yourself!  If you need some info, tips, or links to the card list, check out Kongregate Wiki’s Kongai page.
