Audition Philippines CBT Video Tribute
2007-12-17 02:59:00
A video tribute to the 1st year anniversary of Audition Philippines created by youjeeen. It’s been a year since the Closed Beta Test, it’s been a year since we all played together. Many came from AuditionSEA (South-East Asia), many were first time players, but Audition-PH gathered as all together and gave us all fun and enjoyed the company of each other through an online dancing game. Here are the faces behind those CBT players who were the Pioneers of Audition Philippines.

The Golden Compasses Trilogy
2007-12-13 12:37:00
“The Golden Compasses Trilogy ” as it is called in North America and elsewhere but officially known as the “His Dark Materials Trilogy” by the author Philip Pullman as a response to C.S. Lewis‘ the “Chronicles of Narnia“. The first movie premiered here in the Philippines on Wednesday, 5th December 2007 and many watched it more than the movie Enchanted which is the cinemas choice of “main movie for December” locally. The first movie adaptation is entitled, “The Golden Compass” and as “Northern Lights” in the “United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland". I and my one-and-only give this movie a rating of 9 out of 10 or a “Must Watch Movie for December 2007″. What’s the remaining “1″? They did not finished the movie as per the book’s ending, which really gave it a feeling of ‘incompleteness’ and a looming possibility that there will never be a sequel (which I will explain later), and thus no possibility of watching the other...

HighStreet5 Now in Open Beta
2007-12-13 12:31:00
The much-awaited “Audition Killer” (according to some blogs and Audition players) is now in Open Beta for Singapore! But fret not if you are not from Singapore, as anyone can still sign-up for a new account and join in the fun! Open Beta started yesterday, 12th December 2007, so grab this chance now and be one of the Open Beta early birds and get that Top 10 spot from the rankings. However, do note that EagleGame decided not to wipe out any data from the previous Closed Beta. This is something new for the gaming industry, and something that is untested - how will new and old players react? I do not know, I myself have mixed opinions (and emotions) about this decision. Regardless, it is about having fun, and with HighStreet5, YOU will surely have fun. Join now by downloading the client and signing up here. Look for me in-game, “Seraphim", as always.

Emerald and Midnight Themes for b2evoltuion v2.2-beta is now available for download! Same links: Emerald for b2evolution v2.2 Midnight for b2evolution v2.2 Both in Zip format. Compressed with 7-Zip. Special Note: As b2evolution v2.x is still in beta phase, there were many changes in the Skins 2.0 system. With this, I am also coinciding the changes for the themes I handle, for this release, you will have to move (if you know how to edit your MySQL DataBase) or re-create the widgets, as the “container” names changed. Here are the changes: BarRight-Left is now BarRight-02 BarRight-Right is now BarRight-01 BarRight is now BarRight-01 (for single right sidebar designs) BarBottomLeft-Left is now BarBottom-01 BarBottomLeft-Right is now BarBottom-02 BarBottomRight-Left is now BarBottom-03 BarBottomRight-Right is now BarBottom-04 These changes are not yet final. So please pardon me if you will have to move or re-create your widgets again and in the future. Thank you very much ...

The calm before the storm
2007-11-16 07:48:00
By Elrohir(Elrohir is one of the GameMasters of L2-SEA)AS I walk the world of Ether I bear witness to a changing age. 'Till recently there were wars and blood feuds between the clans.Fighting could break out at any place and at any time. Conflicts between races, large or small, were commonplace. Life was a struggle not only to succeed but also to survive. Then a sudden peace came. Violence was avoided even among the clans. In effect, commerce flourished. Towns were flocked by adventurers and merchants alike selling weapons and wares. Deals were brokered on every street corner. Adena changed hands in a blink of an eye. Several major thoroughfares were blocked by the sheer number of stalls. Even the Monster Race Track, a common meeting point, had to turn down patrons and expel those who get in the way. But until when would this peace last? Already vassals, knights, and lords gather in clan halls. They meet in private to make plans. The members train themselves, fighting mythical bea...

He was also a player of Lineage II NA in Erica server before he and his friends transferred to Lineage II South-East Asia.* August 13, 2005 Invincible Alliance sieging Aden Castle by PakkCastle Siege Tips By Solarius1) Register in time - the NPCs for castle sieges require clans to preregister either for defense or offense2) Know the castle layout - use google the layouts are there, it’s best that people in your clan know where to go and what to do3) Know your enemy - estimate their average level, based from the armors they used and the skills available to them, understand the classes they used, who’s the overlord, who’s using mass root, etc. to identify who and what to kill first4) use voice chat - honestly if u live in a cave and you don’t know what teamspeak and ventrilo are, you're out of your mind.

In reaction to the reactions about Lineage 2
2007-08-28 05:16:00
Instead of posting a comment to “correct” (if you will) the comments made by (supposedly) MMO gamers in this blog post, I decided it is better to post my reply here in gameshogun.ws Blognet. To quote Martin Aquino’s “Why I’m not continuing to play it (Lineage 2)": 1. It has a HORRIBLE leveling/making money grind. Everything in this game is about ADENA (the currency of Lineage2 ). All the weapons at the NPC are overpriced. That wouldn’t be so bad. As an RPG gamer I know that every powerful weapon and armor in RPGS have steep prices. But if you play Lineage 2 and try to buy the best weapons and armor, you’re literally hemorrhaging money. 2. The warp system makes you bleed even more money. In other Rpg games, warps are decently priced, even dirt cheap. But Lienage 2’s warp system? It’s like horrible! Prices for town warps range from 3k adena to 15k adena! So if you want to save your precious adena you end up running for hours to get from one town to ...

How a Record Gets Leaked
2007-08-26 16:38:00
[More:] Infographic: There are a number of opportunities for an album to make it into the public’s hands between its completion and its release. At the Studio (4 months before release) - As soon as a record is finished, anyone from the producer to the engineer to the band members can spoil the fun. At the Label (3 1/2 months before release) - Labels send albums to companies like Sonic Arts to add a digital encryption code that can identify uploading evildoers… but not necessarily to stop them. By the Press (3 months before release) - Considerd to be the most common source of album leakage, watermarks, or not. Oops! At the Plant (1 month before release) - While in the process of being manufactured, a CD is ostensibly secured under lock and key, but sometimes copies fall off the back of trucks. At the Warehouse (2 weeks before release) - Once CDs await shipping to retailers, it’s virtually guaranteed that a copy will find its way online. At Retail - And, of course, once an al...

Jeff Strain, "The subscription model is not the future of the games in
2007-08-25 05:41:00
Jeff Strain , co-founder of ArenaNet and developer of Guild Wars, said that basing an MMO on an existing film, TV, or book franchise won’t lead to success in the genre, during the Games Convention Developers Conference session. “Even the big two [franchises] haven’t lived up to their expectation". He went on to point out that the top two MMOs are based on original worlds, unrestricted by the linear nature of products designed for other media. [More:] Top two MMOs - EVE Online and World of Warcraft. I can not say that WoW is based on original worlds since it was actually taken from Warhammer, but that’s another story to tell for another day. He also warned other companies on trying to follow Blizzard’s methods for WoW too closely, he said, “The best-placed people to create World of Warcraft’s successor, it’s the World of Warcraft team. Let’s all do our own thing, and be good at it.” Now finally someone from the gamedev world said it, don’t you agree?...

Lineage II Event - Clan 10
2007-08-11 11:30:00
These days, Ether’s nobility holds little power when it comes to how each of the kingdoms are being ran. Cabals were formed and within those Cabals were the clans.Clan s hold much power in the two continents that the lords of the land have very high respect for these organizations. It is this very reason why the lords of Aden and Elmore combined resources to sponsor special clans. For within these clans, they know they would be able to keep their hold amongst the people of Ether.Mechanics * Open to all Etherians in groups of 10(ten) * Form a clan with 10(ten) members * Race to level 20(twenty) with first job class * Take a screenshot with all the members present (make sure not to edit the screenshot) * Write a background story of how your clan was formed. Make sure that the story is based on the Lineage II lore. * Requirements for submission: o Name of clan, clan leader and list of members.

Veoh Bringing the Battle to Universal Music
2007-08-11 09:17:00
Veoh.com is a startup that is now very popular among video content creators. They provide what other video hosting services do not (except for MySpace.com) - downloading of the original file, and high-quality streaming. What is more interesting is that Veoh.com have its own desktop client, making it easier to download the videos of your choice whether you are at home or at work (simply by choosing “Send to Home"). And not only that, they are beta testing their new service - VeohTV, which will compete with Joost™. Now the problem is, as most other video hosting startups face, are copyright lawsuits against them, which they hardly have something to do. Univers al Music warned Veoh that they will file a lawsuit against them, and what the new CEO Steve Mitgang did is to file a lawsuit against Universal Music first. Quoting techcrunch: Perhaps new Veoh CEO Steve Mitgang is the kind of guy you don’t want to try to intimidate. He just called me to say that Universal Music ...
