Hell Month

Ironically, the title coincides and relates with the Chinese 7th month, the ghost festival. Anyways today I’m writing not to talk about the ghost festival but more of school work and stuff. This month has been insane; or rather these past two weeks have been hectic and totally seem to destroy me mentally. Of course blame me for doing stuff last minute, but still all the deadlines are placed one after another and presentation slots allocated as well. It is crazy, philosophy presentation yesterday, English presentation today. Blame my luck though since my lucky random pick got me to the last slot of the class for English. Continue reading

PC Academagia Review

Academagia: The Making of Mages is an indie title by Black Chicken Studios. It is a life simulation game where it puts players into a situation of a young growing wizard.

Real Life Aimbot

If you’ve played First-Person Shooter (FPS) games online you will definitely know what an aimbot is. Yes, those bloody aimbotters who simply miraculously perform headshots every single time within the blink of the eye. An aimbot is basically a type of game bot or rather program/hack that helps the user to aim according to settings. I first came into contact with such cheaters in the popular FPS Counter Strike. It is widely used then by cheaters but since the introduction of anti-hack measures it died down by quite a bit. It is awesome and extremely dangerous at the same time should there be such a function in real life. Hit the jump for the real life demonstration of how an aimbotter rolls. Continue reading

Medal of Honor Gets Music Video Trailer “The Catalyst”

Music and gaming are a perfect match for each other. I mean you do know of some of the nicest sound tracks coming from certain games and so on. Recently there has been the trend for some of the major first person shooters to engage with some of the biggest music sensation of the current day and age.

Electronic Arts jumped onto the musical bandwagon and also engaged one of the more popular bands Linkin Park to help out with the promotion of their upcoming game Medal of Honor. The trailers after the jump. Continue reading
