What is a Gamer?

What is a gamer?

When you spend a lot of time playing video games, are you considered a gamer? What does a gamer really mean? When you play video games, its one thing, but mastering and beating a lot of games is another thing

There are different classifications of a gamer. The ones who are competitive, the ones who play for fun or the casual gamer, and the ones who play to beat the game. So the question is, where do I fit in?

I play a lot of games like MOBA, MMORPG, FPS, RPGs and even puzzle and card games. But there will come a time that you would want to excel and compete with other players in you favorite game. You invest your time in practicing a hero or a character just to beat your friends or anyone else online. You would also want to be recognized in the E-sport scene.

You could say that was one of my dream before then eventually, I failed. Mastering a game is not that easy. Sure, you are going to be good at playing DOTA 2 but there is a slim chance you could be invited in the biggest E-sport tournament in the world. With the millions of players playing the game I'm sure there are a lot of them better than your skill in game. Hate to break it to you but its true

Even though it is possible, it also means that you've got a lot to sacrifice. This will include your time. Your time with your family, your job, your studies and your friends. It is going to be your career if you would really go on that path.

At my age as a gamer, I try to balance my time with gaming, my family and my job. Even if I haven't finished a lot of games in my PS4, as long as you juggle your time well, it would definitely be worth it. Sacrificing your time with your family means you'll regret it in the long run. Your games are just there and will not hate you or love you back and you can play video games whenever you have a free time.

So what does a real gamer mean? A gamer manages his time well without sacrificing anything and having fun ingame or even in the game of life.

Super Mario 3D World, I Have You At Last!

Super Mario 3D world made me blog again

It's been awhile ever since my last blog and I believe it was last year December probably because I became lazy or less motivated during those time and I've been very busy at work. Now, I have a new game...well, it's not actually new because it was released last year December and believe it or not, it became the best game of 2013, rated 10/10 by popular game analysts and game reviewers. The game Nintendo should have released at the same time the Wii U was released, Super Mario 3D world.

Taking away the dirt in my Wii U

Super Mario 3D World was the game I have been waiting for since its release date but I couldn't but it for some reason. But now, I got it, and been enjoying it the first time I inserted the CD into my Wii U and said "At last, my Wii U won't be stuck in one corner anymore." This is my second title in the Wii U system where in the first title was The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD. I haven't finished playing Zelda yet but I finished the game before in Game Cube.

The Game We Have Been Waiting For

The gameplay of Super Mario 3D World is actually refreshing. The HD graphics, controls, power-ups, characters are all beautiful and enjoyable. I never doubted Nintendo's way of giving the costumer's the fun they need for casual and hard core gamers alike. We are never too old for a Mario game and this game proves it.

We have been playing this game with my wife and so far, we don't get bored in playing it. Each world and stage are definitely to look forward to. Each stage are challenging especially finding secret Green Stars to unlock other levels. Team work is also recommended when playing this game. We are already having difficulties in two player mode, how much more in multi-player mode which has a maximum of four players? It's gonna be total chaos, but then again, a lot of fun!

We totally recommend Nintendo's Super Mario 3D world for the Wii U. Trust me, you won't regret it.

Why I downloaded Pokemon Y

Why I downloaded Pokemon Y

Pokemon X and Y is the sixth generation of the main series of Pokemon games. Developed by Gamefreak and published by Nintendo for the 3DS and 2DS, this game is one of the fastest selling Nintendo game of all time where more than 4 million units was sold worldwide in just 2 days. I’ve been looking for reviews about the game and rated the game 4.5/5 or 9/10 which means it is really awesome or great. That is why I was tempted to buy it digitally on the Nintendo eShop and did not regret it.

It’s been awhile since I held on to my Nintendo 3ds for a long time. It’s almost like I don’t touch my 3ds anymore because I finished all the games I bought which includes The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Resident Evil Revelations and Resident Evil Mercenaries 3D. And now, Pokemon Y which I recently bought, lets me hold on to my 3DS and can’t stop playing 24/7!

I felt nostalgic when I started to play this game. It has been a long time since I played a Pokemon game. My first pokemon game was Pokemon Red Version where my best friend since grade school influenced me into playing this game. This is the first generation of Pokemon which includes the three of the starter Pokemon: Squirtle, Charmander and Bulbasar. I finished the game but I was unsuccessful in completing my Pokedex. Pokemon Y is completely different since the pokemon game I played and right now, I’ve been playing it for weeks and I still only have 2 badges as of now.

There are a lot of new features of Pokemon Y which includes online battling, trading and a whole new level of training. Unlike any other Pokemon games, Pokemon Y lets your pokemon train not only through battles but with a mini-game called Super Training where you can increase the Pokemon’s Stats. This brings a new level of training your pokemon. So if you fought the same pokemon with the same level with other trainers, it now depends how strong his stats and affections are.

The game has so much more to offer which I could not write it all in one blog. I’ve yet to finish the game as I am currently exploring towns and cities with my bike and roller skates, collecting pokemons day and night, training them and trading online with mostly Japanese players.  I don’t know where my adventure in the game leads me to so I guess I would just #waitforit.

Dead or Alive, you're coming with me. RoboCop Reboot 2014!

The new ROBOCOP Reboot is coming your way next year February 7, 2014

We all have a lot of memories about ROBOCOP especially the 90's kids out there. I even idolize ROBOCOP and buy ROBOCOP toys during my childhood days because he is totally awesome. The half-human half-cyborg cop will bring justice in a whole new level. The armor looks great and they did a really good job on the remake of it, and definitely looks good on black.

I'm really interested on this reboot especially when you have Joel Kinnaman, Michael Keaton, Gary Oldman and Samuel L. Jackson on it.

How I Met My Razer

Gaming for Gamers

I know a lot of us are fond of playing video games but taking it to the next level is far more different than just playing a side scrolling 1 player game or a puzzle game for that matter. Most of the video games now are connected to the internet where MMORPG and MOBA are the most popular games today.

MOBA or Multiplayer Online Battle Arena are the hottest games today because of the competition and the excitement as any other physical sports which is why it is now called an E-Sport. One game was even recognized as an Official Sport in the US and pro players would have a working visa as athletes. With alot of competitions and players, how are you going to step up?

How I met My Razer

Gaming with this is going to be Legen..wait for it...dary!

Choosing a right equipment or peripheral might not be a big factor for you but for pro and hard core gamers, it is very important to have a good and reliable peripherals for your game. At first, I was contented on having a simple mouse for playing League of Legends and DOTA 2 but sometimes the mouse fails to function and my game would be ruined resulting to a loss. That was the first time I bought a real gaming mouse. The gaming mice was called Razer Naga. It was the coolest mouse I ever saw and it has 12 buttons that sits perfectly on your thumb. It was very easy for me to use items in my inventory in the game rather than pushing the numbers in my keyboard. I sure knew that I was becoming faster and more responsive to the game itself. That is what you call "Imba".

Cleaning time!

I was really satisfied with the performance of the Razer Naga and was interested on what other products they have then I saw a keyboard like no other, the Nostromo (N52te). I game on my laptop which is why this is very essential for me. I don't want my keyboard in my laptop to get easily destroyed because of pressing those QWER skills in game which is why the Nostromo (N52te) is a separate keyboard and is ergonomically designed in your hand. To add it up, having the Razer Kraken Pro as my headset lets me enjoy hours and hours of gaming with clear crisp sound, and clear voice with the microphone without noticing its in your head.

Well kids, that's How I met your Razer XD

Game Evo Happening in Dubai!

Game Evolution Happening in Dubai this November!

The biggest gaming exhibition will be held in Dubai and I am getting excited!

The Game Evolution will go live this November 15th and 16th at the Dubai World Trade Centre and it will have a lot of events! All thing Gaming, Exhibition and Education! The Game Evolution is held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Majid Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Chairman of Dubai Culture and Arts Authority and is also organized by "INDEX Conferences and Exhibitions Org Est".

There will also be a massive Consumer Exhibitions, Career Fairs and Educational Workshops and this will happen in a two day celebration of Games and Gaming Culture!

There will be also Console Game tournaments which includes FIFA 2013 and Super Street Fighter IV. I'm getting even more excited when they announced that League of Legends will have the highest prize than other games. Hope I could find a teammate.

Plants Vs. Zombies 2: It's About time is now Live! In some countries

I know you are getting excited and can here the phrase, "the zombies are coming.." along with a catchy tune which gets stuck in your head while playing it. But for those who are in Australia and in New Zealand, the wait is over and it's about time!

Plants vs Zombies 2: It's About time has been released and launched last July 9, 2013 in Australia and New Zealand and it's free! But why the delay in other countries? PopCap's Senior Producer, Allen Murray revealed in an interview with Polygon that the company is making sure of the game's internal systems won't break under pressure when the game will launch.

In the interview, Murray said, "With Plants vs. Zombies 2 were taking advantage of a lot of newer technologies". "If you're connected to the internet, you can save your progress and share accounts across multiple devices - and we need to make sure those systems, along with our ability to stream that content to players, works."

Well, you definitely can't blame them as they are really making sure that the players worldwide would not be disappointed with some bugs and glitches while playing Plants vs. Zombies 2. In addition, PVZ2, as most of the games now requires an internet connection to play it which is why the company is worried with the large influx of players which can affect the back end stability of the game. Requires internet connection you say? Well, technically, you won't need an internet connection just to play but instead, some extra online features will be available once connected to the net.

"If we had more players than we could account for, some of the systems might fall over," he added."We want to be double confident, so we're testing it in a smaller region. This allows us to have more controlled testing player base and determine how to keep the game healthy, then map that to the expected growth when we launch worldwide."

You won't be able to fight the Zombies for sometime, but hey, I'm sure PopCap's doing their best to make the game enjoyable and fun without any problems that may encounter in the future.

Here are some of the screen shots while playing the game. Enjoy!

Pharaoh Zombie stop getting my Sun!
