In my previous sessions of Street Fighter IV I used my pal’s PSN account. All characters were already unlocked, some alternate colors, and several trophies/achievements have already been… achieved, and he’s already moved up the ranking somewhat (somewhat being a term used very loosely). I wanted to test how the ranking system worked, and I [...]
When I threw my first shoryuken in Street Fighter 4, I was still starstruck at all the newness and the production values that assaulted my being. I knew I wouldn’t be able to really get to know the game, so I just ran with it and tried to see smidgens on what the game had [...]
Some of you might have already stumbled upon this quote from the Feb 2009 Official Playstation Magazine made by Kaz Hirai, CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment:
“We don’t provide the ‘easy to program for’ console that (developers) want, because ‘easy to program for’ means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what [...]
I’ve never been one to get into these “social-network website” things. Every time someone asks to add me to their friends list, I say I don’t have an account, and I get a look of confusion. I have a ton of respect for the social-web thing, I think it’s a great platform and still has [...]
I just read over at ICv2 that Gleemax, WotC‘s ambitious social-networking/hobby gaming site, will be shut down sometime in September. The announcement was made by Randy Buehler, WotC’s VP of Digital Games.
Wizards of the Coast has made the decision to pull down its Gleemax social networking site in order to focus on other aspects of [...]
I guess WotC has more changes in mind this year aside from upgrading D&D.
WotC announced quite a lot of changes to Magic: The Gathering starting with the upcoming “Shards of Alara” block. MtG’s head designer Mark Rosewater talks about these changes.
A quick list of the changes:
Sets will have fewer cards
A new “mythic rare” rarity type [...]
Orson Scott Card (Ender’s Game) criticizes J.K. Rowling for suing a small publisher who made “The Harry Potter Lexicon”. If you’re not familiar with the various legal disputes over Harry Potter, I suggest you read up on them.
It would’ve been really nice if the fan site link Card provided in his article worked, but since [...]
I read this very long story/article about Lu Yang and her gaming experience with Giant Interactive‘s ZT Online. I’d rather quote article’s overview for a summary since it pretty much nails the whole piece.
“The main Southern Weekly article on ZT Online follows a gamer as she first becomes interested in the game, through her rise to [...]
Do they still teach atoms as elementary particles of matter at school?
It appears that experiments have already produced enough evidence for humans to accept that matter is made up of quarks (up, down, charm, strange, top, and bottom), and leptons (electron neutrino, electron, muon neutrino, muon, tau neutrino, and tau), the collective term for the [...]
My pals and I went to the “Kongreso ng Komiks” last February 27, 2007 in Intramuros to see what’s going on. We had no idea what to expect, but we were hoping to see some some sort of exhibit on what works the local people do, as well as learn some information about what’s [...]
