Gundam Tieren Diorama Part 3 (Final Stages)

I suggest you check out Part 1 and Part 2 of this project before you go further. I already pre-built the Tieren for this project.

Anyways, just a short recap from the previous post. I was finished with doing the battle-damage for the fallen Gundam and so far, I’m quite satisfied with the “aging” and the results. I also finished the base of the diorama using a wood base, Styrofor and Plaster of Paris. After initial layers of cheapo acyrlic via hand-brush, it’s now time to glue and set the “turf” (grass and the terrain) and then paint it for the final effect.

Let’s start…

Beware of Online Game Scammers

Scammers are getting wiser. Since we started Ragnarok in the Philippines way back in 2003, scammers also started their fiendish “art”. The most common method was impersonating a GM and asking for your username and password. Sadly, a lot of people fall for these tricks.

Now, they use more complicated methods; replicating a game’s customer support page, top up page or even log-in page. They also use YM spams and e-mail. A couple of days ago, I received this message in my personal mail.

Happy 10th Birthday, PS2

I’ve had so many fond memories of gaming with the PS2. I was awed when first pressed the X button to load Final Fantasy, had so much fun with games such as Metal Gear, God of War; played the best versions of Tekken… and was scared shitless with PS2 versions of games such as Silent Hill and Resident Evil…. there are a thousand ways that, as a gamer, am thankful for owning a PS 2.

So, without further ado, allow me to bid one of my favorite consoles, the PlayStation 2, a huge HAPPY 10TH BIRTHDAY!

And hey, I think console sales of 135million units is a nice achievement yes (with over 1,800 titles developed for it to boot). And don’t discount it dying anytime soon… there’s still around 40,000 units being sold annually and game developers for the PS2 have not thrown in the towel… just yet. And yes, my PS2 is still working like it just came out of the factory.

Join in me in giving the PS2 our birthday greetings by commenting below…

Freestyle Philippines Closes Down

We said our final goodbyes to Level Up’s first casual game, Freestyle yesterday.

Last March 2, 2010, the all operations for Freestyle Philippines ceased. I’m reprinting the official announcement regarding that after the jump.

You will be missed, Freestyle. We had so much fun with the game, the players and had wonderful and memorable events with everyone. In behalf of the FS team, I’d like to say THANK YOU to all our loyal players for joining during these past years. It was one helluva ride! Neva Lose!

The Power of Social Networks

Recently, when I was going around Internet cafes to check on our collaterals and games, I noticed that Facebook users are growing. They’re active in the checking their walls and responding to friend status and what-not. It may be that Friendster, once the proud owner of Philippines’ social network scene, is feeling the brunt of this of this market change.

So why the growth? It could be that Facebook has a better interface (hey! They change it everytime… most likely they do FGDs and hire experts to improve upon the interface every so often.)

Short Hiatus

Was away from the online world the past couple of days due to backing up ALL important data, movies, photos and what-have-i off my PC. I also had to reinstall Windows, not to mention, format all the PC hard drives. Whew! Tough job!

Was forced to buy the new Western Digital Passport essential 500GB just for this purpose. It was worth it. At least I have all my important info at the palm of my hand. Too bad the PC store ain’t got the 1TB version without the AC power. Oh well… that will have to wait.

Ragna Roks Facebook

Props to my RO Brand and GMs for bringing the official Ragnarok Facebook page to (now) 21,000++. Literally overnight! Nice job, peeps! (and the fans are still growing)

We started with around 4,000++ until GM Anael announced that the EXP will be extended if we break 10,000. Sure enough, the fans started pouring in. Thanks to all those who joined and “fanned” the page. This just shows how great social networks are in promoting your brand (and how pRO players love EXP mods too hahaha).
