Back to RF

After being very busy at work and trying almost all of the new online games that just came out recently, I just felt like RF online is still the best for me. Latest mmo's have a lot of new cool features but I think I like the way the game goes. When it comes to the RF community, for me I think is still the best. GMs and Vgds are also doing their best to resolve issues. I'm still at Lv43 at the moment and I tried leveling up this afternoon and I'm now at 68%. (it should have been 80% but someone just lured a mob at my back so thats -12% awtz! but thats a part of the RF life.) Hopefully I get to Lv45 this week. See you in game!

iMeem

As I was searching for a music server program so I could put up my own at home so that I could play my songs here in the office, Unfortunately I can't use it coz our isp is behind a firewall and there is no way I could reconfigure it. So I tried looking for another alternative and at least I was able to find what I was looking for! Introducing the iMeem! Its like friendster and Youtube in one. I created my first playlist so check it out!. I'll try to add more soon :)

Lineage 2

Another great mmorpg that is worth the game time. Tho I was frustrated at downloading the game client coz the server is always full only to find out that the game cd is free when you purchase a Game! magazine. So I was able to install it and created 4 characters then I will be on a long journey of playing the role of those characters. Can't tell you the details yet coz I'm not yet really informed about how the whole game works but will put some in here soon. See you in game!

Perfect World

1 Day to go! Perfect world Ph will be open for open beta :). I'm still in the process of downloading the client via torrent coz I had enough problems when downloading it via http when it was still in closed beta.

EVE Online

Ever wonder how future space battles, politics and economy go? You can find all of them in this game:



An intense massively multiplayer space simulation game perfect for those sci-fi fans out there. This game primarily consist of 4 playable races: Amarr Empire, Minmatar Republic, Gallente Federation (my race) and Caldari State. Each comes with various bloodlines which separates them from one specialty to another. They also have their own fleet which is the most important. Ranging from small fighter frigates to huge thousand times larger (and rarer!) Titans with their doomsday devices that could wipe out hundreds of ships in one sweep. Each race's fleet of course has their own specialty which will be Amarr for versatility, Minmitar for speed, Caldari for armor and Gallente for firepower.

This game has a lot more to offer than piloting space ships but basically, you can choose your role weather you want to be a fighter pilot, miner, builder or a head of a corporation. A corporation by the way is equivalent to Guilds in mmorpg's.

Leveling up a character doesn't exist in this game, instead you learn skills. A skill pack must be purchased (if you don't have the skill yet) for you to learn it and may take around 30 minutes but when you increase the level of that skill, the time of learning increases and may take up to a week. Yes a WEEK!. Even if you log off the game, the skill you are learning is still in progress. These skills are required for you to learn newer and more advanced skills, fit armaments on your ship, create a corporation, build a ship mining advanced ores and many more. The skills you learn determine what type of character build you have.

Another thing I'm amazed about this game is that, it has an in-game calculator and browser. Ain't that neat!. As you open the map, It will show you somewhat a picture of a milky way but it IS really the whole EVE system's map. You can actually click on the smallest dot of light and go there by the use if your built in warp drive and every space station's nearby Stargate (which looks like a gun and makes you a bullet and fire you to your destination literally).

Last thing I have to say, This game is a bit complicated and its not for those people that are very impatient and wants action right away. You can try the game and I strongly suggest that you go through the tutorial first before proceeding because it will pretty much teach you the basics. See you in game!

Anime Forum

I just found a new anime forum and the community looks great! Check out my mana chains for the url or click on the image below.

Neural Sensor on games

The usual console games can be controlled using a game controller and punching those buttons. Nintendo Wii is a bit the same only its more concentrated on motion sensor. Now imagine playing a game without lifting a finger. Check this out:

Animusic!!

I just watched The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya series and the story is great but I love the music more. I really like the part where Haruhi suddenly climbed up the stage together with Yuki to perform in a band as temporary members since the original members were injured. Here are two of my most fave songs in the series: (By the way Aya Hirano is the seiyuu of Haruhi Suzumiya)

Habal²

One of my wife's relatives live in a small town named Indahag. They wanted us to stay their for a night or two since they missed us so much. So from Macassanding we went to a not very long and not too short travel to Indahag riding a multicab (a small utility van that the rear seats are arranged the same as a jeepney with an open rear entrance). The interesting part is that when we reach the middle part of the trip, the road will begin to go dark until its pitch black (coz we traveled during the night 7pm+) and the only light you will see is the light coming from the multicab. Not only that, the road is so small that only 2 small vehicles can only fit and it has so many curves! We finally had our rest when got to our destination. So for 2 days we were traveling from there down to the main city by riding a single motorcycle they called Habal-habal. I prefer to call it Habal squared (²x) eheh. Janneth had difficulty riding it because its a bit high and she is a bit scared since its just a single motorcycle and traveling through those winding roads. We got a chance to travel at daytime and I just realized that the road is indeed full of dust that it already looked like sand on the road. The most interesting part is that right beside the road is a very steep ravine and its like 100ft deep! I just don't think that its deep because it will just scare us, instead we appreciate the beauty of the whole scene. At night, when we went back using the same mode of transportation. I could still recall the whole scene but one thing popped in my mind, I looked behind and its really pitch black that you really cant see anything. I took out my camera and took a picture with a flash hoping to see something interesting but unfortunately my camera wasn't that powerful. Oh well, so much for the ghost stories I've heard from townspeople about riding at night.

Reunited

Few years back when I was still in high school, we had a group named Zerobytes composed of four best friends. One of them was my classmate Kilbaine, schoolmate Jig0 and classmate (computer shop) Hung Tie Lu or sometimes SON_GOHAN. Before I left CDO, we were able to took pictures of the four of us. When I got back to CDO, we reminice moments that we had before and sharing new ones. Finally, we got our new picture taken and Kilbaine's computer shop. I thought at first we wont be able to make it because of their conflicting schedule. though it was quick but its fun and meaningful for all of us.

Nostalgia

After we landed at Cagayan de Oro Airport and gathered our baggages, Janneth's relatives where there to meet us up. Then we got a cab to go down to the first place that we will be spending the night in. There is nothing special when we got off from the airport since that was the first time I've been there because we usually take the ship when traveling to and from manila. As we go down the road, I began to recognize familiar places and huge changes. My eyes went through the path I usually go through when I was still in elementary. It was just hardened soil back then and was converted to concrete when I was in high school. Now they already have an overpass which is good. Then of course our elementary school, seems like nothing has changed from the outside but I wonder from the inside. I was able to visit places that I want to see like the new Limketkai Mall, Gaisano City and Mall (magkaiba pala daw yun kahit magkadikit), Divisoria and their every weekend Night Cafe, Carmen and Cogon market. Before Limketkai was just an open mall now the design is more like Robinson's Galleria. They Just simply put roofs on the pathways and 2nd storey stores while Gaisano Mall and City remained the same. Divisoria is more lively since there are more internet shops in every block (literally!) and ihaw ihaw restaurants. They also have this JRJ restaurant that is very popular because of their fried chicken. Every friday to sunday nights they have this Night cafe that covers most of the divisoria area. these are series of stalls and half of it is "tyange" and "ukay-ukay" and other is again chicken ihaw ihaw or "chicken alacarte". We really missed the "puso" (rice in coco leaf) and "chorisong bisaya" and this is the place where you can find it (aside from those ihaw ihaw restaurants that are already there). You get to eat with your hands at the same time watch live bands (cool eh?). After that you can go to the biggest fruit stand nearby and buy some deserts. Sadly there was no "marang" available that time. fruit that resembles a lot like durian but the spines are more like harmless. marang price here in manila is like Php 80 plus per piece but in cdo, it will just run like Php10 a piece. After dinner, you can just choose from one of the gazillion internet cafe's around and play dota or rf :)

I'm Back!

I just got back from Cagayan de Oro yesterday and sadly I wasnt able to put some details real time so I'll try to make it up soon.

Carshow

I just had the time to put some pics I got from the carshow last April 22 at Megatrade hall in SM Megamall. At first, my wife, her 2 siblings, me, my kid and his yaya just wanted to have a stroll at the mall and go window shopping then go to church. I was surpised that there was a car show going on so me and my wife's younger bro Jr got excited about it. So after going to church, me and Jr went straight to the car show and the others went on shopping for kids clothes. Cars there are wicked! Surprisingly, I didn't expect there there will be these exotic and truly expensive cars on the show:

Mclaren SLR:

Look at the grills!

and the butt:


Ferrari Fiorina:



Lamborghini Gallardo:




Well, I got too excited that I forgot to turn on the flash that's why those pics are a bit dark. Here are some more:

This is the new SUV engine ehehehe


and its hood


Dodge Charger:


Shelby GT500 (I can't take a full pic of this baby coz the place is too tight arghh!)



Honda S2000 (This one is owned by an Rf Online player) cool!



Toyota Supra:



Japanese and US versions: (I'm not sure exactly which one is which)





Honda Integra:



Ayt! that's all fo' now. 'hope I can attend anothah jaw droppin, eye poppin, sizzlin, fizzlin carshow sometime soon :). peace ya'll!

Vacation!!!

At long last! my vacation leave got approved! Even if its just 9 days, I'm sure it will be worth it. Gotta buy plane tickets for the whole family for a trip to cdo :) and my wife already reserved a room for us somewhere in opol. I'll try to reserve my feeling of excitement until I get my hands on those tickets :D. Meanwhile, the latest spidey movie seems to be interesting... that would definitely smack some boredom out of me while waiting for vacation. This excitement is killing me....

Palamig

My wife and I decided to go to a pool in laguna as to visit some friends and relatives and to get some really good tasting siomai Los Baños. Nothing special really happened during the trip and during the time we were in the resort but We just realized that malls arent really helping us unwind anymore like it usually did. Going out of town once in a while really helps a lot. One drawback though was my entire body was aching and I was the only one like that. Well thats ok, now I feel I`m already gaining so much weight. Getting in shaping ain't really easy so I have to think of an enjoyable way to do it. We werent able to visit some old friends coz it was already late and I still have work the day after (no to mention I was aching all over). Maybe sometime soon we'll go back and do that. For now.... back to work ehehhehe

First Post!!!

Hi everyone! I'm just curious on how to make a blog and why more and more people are making one. So I just made one! Ill put some things in here as soon as I can. ja!
