PSP With Bikini Girls

September 6, 2008 · Filed Under Videos, Gadgets, Girls, Marketing · 6 Comments

Marketing couldn’t be any simpler.

Get two cute girls, strap them on bikinis and get them to play a lame game using the PSP. Now, I don’t know if they’re trying to sell the PSP or the game. Doesn’t matter now! I’m curious. Heck, I could not understand a single word and I’m sure you’ll find it amusing as well.

Enjoy your weekend!

It’s now the “ber” months. LIVE 2008 is just around the corner and Gravity is bringing the Ragnarok World Championships 2008 to the Philippines.

What better way to kindle back the Ragnarok spirit with a Ragnarok 2 video, eh? Anyways, credit for this video goes to Signum. I really can’t wait for RO2 as well. Still no official word from Gravity. But once I get news, so will you.

Enjoy!

BBC reports on the massive scale of gold farming for WoW. To most Chinese, it’s a full-time job. With a population of over 1.3 billion people, the growth of the gaming population has been incredible. From just around 22.3 million players less than a year ago, this has ballooned to 147 million. A growth of 559%.

Blizzard has began a crackdown on these operations which has been closely monitored by the blogosphere.

The Next 5,000 Days for the Web

August 13, 2008 · Filed Under Infotech, Blogging, Videos · 3 Comments

Kevin Kelly, one of the co-founders of Wired, said that if we went back in time 10 years ago and told someone what the web is capable right now it would be branded as impossible. Guess what? Nothing is impossible. Today, everything and anything is on the web, from satellite photos, phone numbers, friends, products, auctions, videos, knowledge (wikipedia) and communication.

That’s what we have right now. The web is currently 5,000 days old. And it’s one massive machine. So massive that it is analogous to the human brain. Kelly does a talk on TED about what the web can do in the next 5,000 days. The possibilities are jaw-dropping.
