Internet Cafe Business in the Philippines

May 9th, 2009 26 Comments

 

In my post, How To Start Your Own Internet Cafe Business, I get a lot of questions. I’m happy to help and answer whenever I can. Consider it as a free consultancy =)

Anyways, I recently got a tough question from Aileen Suerte. She asks if it’s better to buy an already-built cafe rather than starting on her own.

Although I already sent her some notes (c/o the comments section), I’m gonna republish her question here and have more detailed analysis. Hopefully, Aileen (and many others like her) can make a sound decision.

May 5th, 2009 No Comments

 

While the world is taking the necessary precaution vs. Swine Flu, I’d like everyone to take it easy and relax. There’s no need to panic. There isn’t any in the Philippines (and Asia, I think). Nevertheless, the threat is DEADLY SERIOUS. Waukster published some important tips and information on Swine Flu here.

Meanwhile, why not fight swine flu via a funky flash game? Enjoy!

May 3rd, 2009 No Comments

 

Creatures created in Spore just broke the 100M barrier. Ho-hum.

Yes, EA was also busy monitoring penis-shaped creations among other things. So, that’s why Will Wrightl left Maxis? Rumor has it that he’s joining forces with Mr. T. Talk about priorities.

Hmmmm…

The Facebook community is all the rage about new game – Restaurant City.

It’s simple, fun and addicting. Make your own restaurant, invite friends as employees, find ingredients and grow your business. It’s a great testament to the power of social networks and gaming.

The Life of A Chinese Gold Farmer

April 14th, 2009 10 Comments

 

Despite government, civic groups and media features, the Chinese gold farming industry - with online game World of Warcraft as the primary vehicle, continues on.

Some proponents of the underground industry are adamant that the supply is still huge. They think that gold farming will continue to exist because players will continue to look for it and pay for it. “The reason people buy gold is the same reason they pay people to wash their car – they would rather spend money than do it themselves”, said one anonymous Chinese gold farmer.

Let’s take a look at the current state of the Chinese gold farming industry and take a behind-the-scenes-look at 2 actual employees.

Will Onlive Be The Future of Video Gaming?

April 11th, 2009 6 Comments

 

Sometimes a simple idea will change the way we live (or play). 

Imagine this – you either have a TV set or a PC (or Mac). Second, imagine that it’s an old PC or laptop – something slow and couldn’t possibly run games such as Left 4 Dead or Crysis.

Now, there’s a new technology that allows you play the games via a service called Onlive. Onlive claims that you don’t need all the processing power: RAM, harddrive or even video card juice, the Onlive services computes all the graphics algorithims in THEIR server and just streams it to you. Thus, you DO NOT need a fast computer or even the latest consoles such as the Xbox 360 or PS3 to enjoy all the games you wish to play. All you need is a (fast) Internet connection and an account.

If this becomes succesful, it WILL revolutionize the gaming industry.

Oh, did I tell you that downloads will also be kept at a minimum? Read on….
