Ragnarok Box Packages

There is always a good reason to collect Ragnarok Collectibles & CDs. Firstly, you get to install the game files anytime you want as long your getting a new PCs or reformatting your current one. I do hope that the Ragnarok Online box packages at Episode 12 later would be the same so it'll be deem fit to be kept at a storage or a small shelf. I guess the next coming update would be the Moscavia City patches. Stay tune for more game and products to be talked upon!

Tekken Tag Back In 2001

It was a wonderful experience reaching the Finals in this PS2 organized tournament at Star Cruise Virgo ship. Yeah, if i do remember, they had pretty few game tournaments held for holiday guys and amateurs as long your on board the cruise! Anyone could have joined it if you are on a trip to somewhere else etc Pulau Langkawi, Phuket Island or so...You still have to pay a small fee to enter this tournament though. Come to think of it, i wanted to post my medals i had achieved ever since it was around my Primary 5 level and being the champion of the event that made unforgettable.

Let's talk about the old game event!

The contestants was about at least 16 or 24. I recall about talking to one of the contestants that wasn't pit against me but we had some good talks about Tekken game series. Well, I did shook hands with one of the semi-final player and quarter final player before we engaged in the tournament. Man! It was so intense. I don't own a PS2 back then but i did threw my game efforts into beating them one by one. I remember using the character named Law to beat the finals against a person who was the age of a daddy! Yes, indeed it was a daddy battling against me! Imagine the final round, all we do was evade and attack at will. I managed to do some interesting simple moves to outwit my final opponent. The nicknamed " Big Daddy " a.k.a the 30+ years old dad was then defeated by me to claim the Champion title in this PS2 Tekken tournament!

Pretty good, i must say. Until then, i never had been been seeking for more PS2 tournaments regarding games like King of Fighters, DoA and so on. If i were to had a chance again, of course I'll participate!


Owh yeah, i'll also be posting the screenshots of the certificate of PS2 Tekken Tag Tournament along with the medal with the logo "Star Cruise". Hopefully, it'll be part of my game awards & achievements blogged in the blog. Most of my game awards & achievements can be tagged at the section "Contest" but not the usual awards by leisure stuffs!

PS2 Tekken Tag Tournament back in the year 2001's



For 7 years of holding my memorable gold medal and a piece of certificate, I'll thank to Star Cruise and the game organizer for this! Even though it is part of my game career achievements, this is a memory that i won't forget! xD!!!



Got any game experiences and stuffs to share? Then your free to drop by my chatbox to talk about anything! Thanks for reading ^.^'

Ikariam And Travian

There's a few great web-browser games that will make you play every once a few days or weeks within a month to ensure the longevity of your account in-game. So as to say, i played a recent of two web-browser games that seems sort of addictive. Why? The answer lies to the patience and time needed to upgrade and stabilize your very own base!

I'll just go straight to the game photos for easier explanation.


Ikariam

In my opinion, this game is sort of the web-browser game with some unique 2d like building structures and are mostly of cool designs. And of course, the game has some similiar system like the ones from Civilization PC-Game series. You get to start building your town hall from level 1 up to the highest which i am not sure of it yet. But as far as i know, i played for like 2 weeks and now having the 2nd town for me to strengthen my town to a great empire! Yes, recommended web-browser game Ikariam for those who love ancient technology based units like Steam Giant and powerful catapults for putting fires to your enemy!

You can find me by the name, RollsRoyce as usual...Kappa Server. The "Highscore" on the top of your own game account shows the search system and the top ranking of a player and their own alliance highscore. Be sure to track on your pals and gamers in this game for helps and raids!!!



Travian


It was then been introduced by a friend who is playing Travian. Well, i must say it's a whole lot different from Ikariam(my above post) but then it still has similiar buildings such as the Barracks , Hideouts and so on. You get to choose from 3 different races and that's Romans, Gauls and Teutons. Each groups mentioned has their own advantages and disadvantages. It's up to you to play and decide how to handle your base.

I'm currently on the Server 2 (Big Icon when you login) . Name's RollsRoyce as again and will be playing Ikariam more than Travian though. Have fun in Travian!

Portal Final Level

Recently played Half Life 2 : Portal and finished it within a day. Yes, the game consists primarily of a series of puzzles that must be solved by teleporting the player's character and other simple objects using the Portal Gun. It is said that you are challenged by AI named "GLaDOS" which will be the final boss of all the puzzling levels.


Portal's game screenshots

Test chamber level 15 where you need to have the skills of super jump or double fling. One of the proceeding stage where it's becoming difficult.

Exploring around the map and grabbed the keyboard and threw it around >.>"

Test chamber level 19 is the final level of Portal where you fight the boss of this game GLaDOS. You'll have to grab the miniature sized robot and throw it into the incinerator. Once you took out at least 4 mini robots, then you have just beaten GLaDOS as well!

It looks like the final boss you fought in Half Life 1 whereas in the forms of similiar destructive effects... Congratulations to all Portal game players that reached GLaDOS!

If you have beaten the game once, the background of the Portal game will have the famous cake that is shown in Portal. That's all there is!

Gears of War : PC Version

Let's take a look on the minimum requirement for this Gears of War first...

Minimum system requirements:

  • OS: Windows XP or Windows Vista
  • Processor: Intel 2.4 GHz or AMD 2.0 GHz or higher
  • HDD space: 12 GB
  • Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce 6600 or ATI X700 or higher
  • Online multiplayer: Broadband Internet connection and Games for Windows LIVE Silver Membership (included)

Yes! You need to at least have these minimum requirements so that you will not be lagging all the way in games or either graphic distortion. Well , my previous entry did showed newly bought CPUs so it can cope with all the specs above but just differently.


sniperzreborn's Tech Solution

Usually, you might still face some minor bug issues such as :
1. Gears of War's cutscenes might restart your PC or ended up being black screen.
2. Audios will not function properly through co-op mode.
3. Even if your specs are good, there are things that the game is not compatible with.

So in order to get a solution to the above issues,
1. Do restart CPU and play the game again. It'll work fine.
2. Update sound drivers and test your sound volume again.
3. Depending on what 3D cards your using, ATI or Geforce series need to have some update from the drivers if possible.




Now straight to the Gears of War's screenshot taken through gameplay.

radio frequencies. Only the Hammer of Dawn can bring one down.

As you see, i just burned a Seeder with Hammer of Dawn. Nice view isn't it?

Rating for Gears of War :

Graphics : 10/10

Dual Core Unleashed

Been using Acer Aspire 2.8 GHZ with 512 MB RAM for quite a long time as stated from the above title, alongside with Radeon 9550 @ 256 MB , i was able to maintain till the very few days ago. It came to an end my motherboard has 6 transistors that was "boom-ed". So as i was saying, i have just recently upgraded this thing into a new machine that has the par standard into the PC industry yet! (No CabalSEA, DotA, CS and so on games to play for just a few days!)

It came to the day of the upgrading moments!

Upgraded it off at SAMCOM shops which has ACER products as retailers. Enough said. Here's what you will meet one of my three PC's for gaming uses. The very 3rd PC is just a normal 2.8 GHZ which i won't be showing it here though. I will plan to get at least more than 5 PCs for home and LAN gaming usage. As said, 3 PC's currently being owned are desktop PC's platform.


Let's just get straight to the gizmo thingy.


6 years Acer Aspire CPU side view and it has just changed into...

The new CPU built is the former above CPU's upgrade over...
Check it out below!




A newly upgraded casing with 1GB DDR2 RAM with powered Intel Dual Core 2.4 GHZ and the old 80 GB hard disc that was still safe and sound ! Total cost of the upgrade was over
RM 840!







Wait!!! Hold on a sec?

I have also planned to buy a new CPU that cost at a very decent price around RM 1788 !

(If you ask me, it's more than enough to be used for gaming and for the more competent users is qualified to compete against higher-end CPUs user in gamings. GG.)

My latest CPU that has the followings below :
Intel Dual Core E4500 2.2 GHZ
160 GB Hard disc space
Geforce 8400 GS
Logitech mouse , Logitech stylish keyboard & Logitech stereo speakers
17" CRT Monitor

Added with free packaging :
Lexmark Printer Z1320



The total amount of upgrading the old CPU into a freshly new Dual Core with the added amount of the new Dual Core CPU with CRT Monitor along costed more than RM 2628!!!

Well, if you ask me, it's a efficient buy and upgrades for me to say!

Nuff said. ASUS driver (uh, i mean real driver) drove my 2 CPUs as package senders. I'm just around in the ASUS van too. o.o"!!!


Now at least 3 PC's with competent gaming performance and for school assignments and basic programmings as use. Looking forward for a medium priced gaming laptop around RM1999-2599 and another desktop PC's would be a final end to my 5 line ways of PC & Laptop collection!

Stay tune for more updates! Not just CPU's of course lah.

Iraq's CS Server i joined long ago, the map's aim_duztec . A pretty cozy looking map with two outpost on both opposing CT's (Counter-Terrorist) & T's (Terrorist) location.
