The Superhighway of Gaming

2011-12-06T17:47:00.012+08:00

If this guy is right, bimbos have a chance of getting smarter.I used to think I had an issue with focus. While my kindergarten mates played with one or at best, two items in the playground during break time, I sampled every single play station and still had time to experiment with the last. There were five.And then I watched a TED Talk today and found out that perhaps the problem isn’t with me

Gamers & Sleep

2011-12-06T14:56:00.017+08:00

4 hours is the norm. 6 is off-peak season. 8 is a luxury.Gamers typically don't sleep much. If you're one, you will know that the server is busiest around 11pm which goes on to around 2am. On weekends we don't stop till 4.And during competitive season it is normal for us to clock an average of 4-6 hours per night, for at least a week or two before the event, while we train intensively for the

What Makes Gamer Girls Happy

2011-11-30T16:56:00.015+08:00

What makes gamer girls like us happy? Like really really happy? Gaming trips. People often have these strange, grand ideas of what they actually are. Friends tell me it's awesome that I get to travel so much; colleagues congratulate me on some time-out from the stress at work (which by the way, can get really crazy). But beneath the jet-setting females we are portrayed to be lies the bleak

DotA 2 - Day 3 Predictions

2011-08-19T10:34:00.002+08:00

It's been a long time since I've been this hyped up about DotA (and written on our blog). I'm loving the improvement in graphics which weren't overdone to the point where the game was just irritating to watch/play! And Puck's voice is so cute now! I'm especially loving the new courier, it's a flying horse now hahaha! Though I don't understand why some heroes look like aliens now.......

DotA2 Fever!

2011-08-18T10:34:00.017+08:00

I didn't think I would be so fired up by DotA2. Before Gamescon and DotA2 kicked off yesterday with a stunning 80+ (or was it 90) minute game where EHOME battled it out with iG, my reaction towards DotA2 was kinda lacklustre. It bordered between a "oh okay it's tomorrow" and "where's mika baby, here kitty kitty". The changes in platform (Garena - RGC) and switching of games (LoL, HON) have

BUT I did felt that our gameplay during mid-game was much better than usual and for some reason I was obsessed with commanding during the second game. HEHE. Which you can observe from our chats from the replay analyzer. Game 1 was great with

Female Gaming - the inside story.

2010-03-09T21:12:00.002+08:00

The LIES of female gaming.I’ve learnt to be skeptical of online gamers who declare they are female. For TWO main reasons.Firstly, there are way too many young guys around who think it’s cool to scam people with fake identities and smurfs (no… I don’t mean the blue cartoon creature), just to get a quick attention high. It, of course, gets even better when GIRLS ask GUYS (of course, it’s a guy who

Sunday night, and i'm doing some checks on my bag, making sure I've got everything I need for work tomorrow.
