How to Join and Play

Registration

1. All you have to do is register online at the forums, or onsite at the event day.
2. Sign-up at the registration sheet, don’t forget to include your team name.
3. Get the Tournament team name label.
4. The Team would then be asked to wait for the briefing.
5. During the briefing, the GM would again explain the rules and what will transpire during the event.

Pre-Game

1. After the GM briefs the participants, the drawing of slots for all the teams will follow. This would determine the opposing teams and time of matches.
2. The 2 teams that where placed on the first slot would now take their positions on each of their respective computer terminals.
3. Both teams will be given 5 minutes to fix all their game settings and configurations
4. A game room will now be created by a member of one of the 2 playing teams. (This would be determined thru toss coin on who shall be the one to create, and also the side to be played).
5. A password will be enforced to make sure no outsider will interfere in the match.
6. The marshal shall check if all the participants are already inside the specified room.
7. Once all the participants have their ready button clicked (marked by a green light), the event personnel may then give the go signal to start the game and make it official.
8. Top 2 teams at the end of the elimination day will play their finals match at the “Game Summit” event the following day at DV Soria Kiosk CDO.

During the Game

1. At the start of round 1, both teams will be asked to meet in the middle of the map, to check if there is anyone being invisible. Once both teams are satisfied with all members being seen, they will be asked to return to their own base, and after 5 seconds, the game will be official.
2. If there’s any invisible player, the game will be restarted, and step 1 will then be done until all members are seen.
3. If a player drops out of a match in progress due to crash or disconnection (and if he was also fragged at the time), he or she may rejoin so long as the game allows it.
4. The game won’t be restarted, if there were already casualties (or deaths) that took place before the disconnection. If the game just started and no deaths took place, then the game will be restarted (and the score continued).
5. Intentional disconnection from the server warrants a +2 additional points for the opposing team for the duration of the game. A second offense warrants forfeiture of the game. Always consult your marshal and ask for his approval before disconnecting from the game to avoid this penalty.

After the Game

1. The participants will have to wait until the game marshal records the score of the round before being asked to log out of the server.
2. The game marshal shall then call in the next set of participants for the tournament to continue.

3. The game marshal/ officer have the right to disqualify, or ban any player, before, during, and after each game set.

It’s amazing what people do for games and for the things they are passionate about. Incase you don’t know Spore it’s an upcoming game conceptualized by Will Wright the creator of hits like the Sims and Sim City. In the game you are able to make your creatures and they will be placed in a virtual world where you can advance their civilization, fight them agains other civilizations and yada yada.

At its press conference just now, EA announced that over 1.8 million creatures have been created by people using the Spore Creature Creator — that’s more than the number of known species in the world (1.5 million)! The Creature Creator has been available less than a month, meaning all of those creatures were created in just that amount of time. This is an especially staggering number considering the real game in which these creatures are used, Spore, isn’t even available yet.

Spore creator Will Wright said that EA was hoping to get 100,000 creatures uploaded by players with the Creature Editor by September. They hit that number in 22 hours. Wright also showed off some of his favorite fan created creatures on screen.

EA also announced that National Geographic put together a documentary on evolution using Spore that will air the week the game ships. This documentary will be included in the Galactic Edition of the game.

To see some of the many possible creations with Spore, check out our recent roundup of gaming characters created with the Spore Creature Creator. It includes this beauty of Spore creator Will Wright himself:

I’m so excited to play this game. This is a time waster, a future destroyer and stress release Can’t wait

Anyone who want’s to join me in my venture feel free to post here. I’d like to have some comrades with me and I am also asking a couple of friends to join me.

Ragnarok after 4 years still owns my heart. I have tried alot of other mmorpg’s but there is something in Ragnarok Online that just keeps me coming back. I don’t know what it is, really.

So expect blog posts about my adventures in Valkyrie’s Rune Midgard

With Blizzards reputation and the countless hours and lunch money that we wasted in Internet Cafes just to finish that act win Diablo 2, they once again bring us the two games that will waste our money and probably destroy our futures. But what the heck? All in the good name of fun I should say!

Diablo 3

Second Part of Video After the Jump

Anyway, Diablo 3 has some mixed reviews. Some saying that it’s going to be great because it’s Diablo and others saying that it sucks  because of some game elements that have been removed and added which seems to change how the game is played abit too much.

Things I noticed..

WTF is with the floating orbs?
Yeah, these things just suck and take the pot reflex away from the players. Kill, run around, gain HP, rinse, repeat. I don’t really know why, but I have this perception that any game with floating orbs are for kids and take the realistic feel of the game. It’s abit confusing and hard to explain but the point is I hate it..

But that is all personal preference..

But anyway, I could go on rambling about this and that but you are the one to decide how good it looks.. Here’s part 2 of the video
