I’m both horrified and appalled by this one. It’s all over the news and TV.
Bong Alvarez, once a great Filipino pro-basketball player, first bloodies a taxi driver with a bottle while drunk and then plants a shoulder at ABS-CBN reporter, Gretchen Malalad. Poor girl.
But look at what Gretchen does to the loser after that.
Too bad the bail is cheap. This loser should rot in jail. What do you think?
Everyone who grew up in the 80’s will surely remember the Contra cheat which goes “Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A”. Nostalgia?
But there’s a whole slew more.
I just browsed through Gamerhelp’s 99 Video Most Killer Game Secrets and found out that I could “swap” games within my PS1, have a sexual scandal in Grand Theft Auto, see butts in Metal Gear Solid and a LOT, LOT, LOT MORE.
Share your most unforgettable boopers, stupid moments or wacky experiences in the world of online gaming. I would prefer it to be a Level Up game, of course. Hope you all join now!
I arrived in Bacolod early Friday morning in preparation for a series of talks at schools such as University of St. La Salle and AMA. I was booked for Friday afternoon and then 3 more talks in Saturday (I just came home from a team-dinner and celebration after the successful event).
With Apol, our Sales Director and my boss, Jake (Marketing Director). Apol gave talks centered on emerging trends in gaming, ICT and career opportunities. Mine featured tips on responsible gaming and showed them our “Level Up Honor Roll Program” and also how to go about with the Level Up “Unplugged” program (controlling game time by asking an account to be partially banned). Being a La Sallite myself, I was proud to come to a “green” event.
Here’s a photo during my talk at La Salle.
More about my trip and adventures in Bacolod after the jump
The theme for the second week was “TOP 5″ where I asked participants to write about any 5 “lists” pertaining to MMORPGs or their specific experiences. I got quite a lot of interesting reads. I do suggest that you visit these blogs and drop a comment or two.
I will also inlcude the links to week 1 in this post. This is a 6-week contest and entries are growing by the week.

Was off to Bacolod early this morning with Apol, our Sales Director and Jake, our Marketing Director. We’re scheduled to give a couple of school talks at the University of St. La Salle.
That’s the reason why I wasn’t able to update the blog today. I’m so sorry. I just came for the USLS and gave a talk to hundreds of students on responsible gaming, balancing studies and video games. I also featured and highlighted Level Up programs such as Honor Roll and Unplugged.
I promised to update www.gmtristan.com later. I’ll be posting the links and the entries to week 2 of my group writing project as well as highlights and some photos of my Bacolod trip. It’s my first time here. Let me leave you a view from PAL Airbus A-319 on the way here.
Give me a few hours (around 8:30pm or 9:00pm Manila Time) for the next updates.
Gaming has long been receiving flak for being mindless distractions, being blamed for student delinquency due to their “addictive” nature. Anti-Gaming parties have been quick to point out that people (especially children and students) cannot learn any valuable lessons from them, branding these games as utter wastes of time.
Just goes to show that stereotypes are sometimes misleading.
Silk Road Online is an MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) that has, at its core, placed emphasis on the nature of trade and commerce. The name itself comes from the historical Silk Road which interconnects a series of ancient trade routes through various regions of the Asian continent, mainly connecting China with Asia Minor and the Mediterranean. The trading done on the Silk Road was a major factor in the development of great civilizations (like China and Egypt), and helped lay the foundations for the modern world.
Can’t say I agree with all on the top 10 list. But do check it out. It has worst “dying moments” in such games as God of War, Mortal Kombat (Finish Him!!!) and Burger Time… Burger Time!?!?!? WTF???
I kid thee not. I bet you CAN’T even guess what the NUMBER ONE WAY TO DIE IS!
Enough of my yammer, click to see the video below.
