The tide of the gaming industry is at it’s peak as winter is nearing and special treats are coming. On this week’s issue we have Microsoft denying the massive ban implementation on Xbox Live accounts, some hot Ninja Gaiden costumes & Some Starcraft 2 news.

Ninja Gaiden Costume DLC

One of the most recent updates for Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 is a brand new wardrobe for the characters which will surely make players enjoy their gaming time to the max. Costing only 4USD, the said extravaganza is one thing that i can consider “Money well spent”.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Microsoft denies the Apocalyptic move over Xbox Live.

Microsoft’s XBOX Live last action sent a huge tremor all over the world. Apparently a huge amount of Xbox Live enthusiasts ended up getting their accounts banned from the said network. The said banning was under the move “To eliminate piracy”. Although the story still goes on but this time around, Microsoft denies that such incident occured. Entirely, GM Marc Whitten made the statement “I cannot explain to you why people would think it was a million people. It wasn’t a million people”. SO yeah i guess in total it may never be a million, just 999,999 users.

Starcraft II Updates

Blizzard all time favorite game, STARCRAFT which is getting a sequel coming this first quarter of 2010 known as Starcraft II recently had it’s a site update. THe updates includes a peek on S2’s single player modes, campaigns and some added details to the Zerg’s Changeling and other cool stuff. You can drop by their site to see it for yourself.
http://www.starcraft2.com/community.xml

Si hablamos de juegos de estrategía a la cabeza se nos vienen títulos como Age of Empires, Rise of the Nations, Command and Conquer, Caesar, entre otros, pero si hablamos de juegos de estrategía futurista hablamos de EL juego, StarCraft, el RTS de Blizzard que en 1998 debuta como uno de los juegos más vendidos de todos los tiempos.

StarCraft trataba la historia de tres razas, los Terran, los Zerg y los Protoss, estas tres razas jugaban al cachipún luchaban entre si en distintas campañas y episodios (3 en total), además de una Expansion llamada “Brood War” (Guerra de Razas). La gracia del juego es las características unicas de cada especie, donde los Terran poseen un arsenal potentes, soldados con rifles, lanzallamas, espias invisibles, tanques, aviones, cruceros de batallas, etc; los Zerg que tienen la capacidad de regenerarse, esconderse bajo la tierra, crear verdaderas plagas de extraterrestres; y los Protoss, que son la imagen de guerreros que luchan por el honor, cuerpo a cuerpo, con una resistencia impresionante.

Todos disfrutamos alguna vez de StarCraft, con sus emocionantes campañas, su acción, sin duda fue diversión asegurada. Bueno, despues de 9 años de la salida del primer juego (especificamente en Mayo del 2007) Blizzard anunció que estaría pronto a lanzar la segunda parte, con el nombre de StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty, de el cual solo podemos encontrar diseños conceptuales, trailers y cosas varias, y alguno que otro rumor o cosas por estilo.

Dentro de lo oficial, Blizzard anunció que StarCraft II estaría listo entre abril y junio del 2010, asi que si tenias alguna expectativa de jugarlo este año, te dedico y me autodedico un gran CUEK!. Pero lo más probable es que el Beta de SCII esté listo para el primer trimestre del 2010, asi que ni tan enojado estoy.

Por mientras les dejo un trailer bonito, para que lo disfruten por mientras sale tan esperado título.

More animation. This was a collaboration between me and http://shabizzle.wordpress.com/

The original to compare:

Ok so it’s not really anything like the original after the first part.

You may not realize that an insect invasion is taking place for quite some time. Everything will seem normal, except for a few pets that have disappeared, and then you’ll start seeing odd secretions around town. The abandoned houses will have a strange goo on them, and the sidewalks will be covered in a thick brown slime. We regret to inform you that it’s not maple syrup, but a giant insect’s droppings. Oh, and it also contains bits of your good friend Ted. You’re probably going to need a new pair of shoes, not to mention several years of therapy.

Sometimes the strange secretions will be used to help build the insect’s secret lair. They’ll spit it out the proboscis and fully cover a three block radius (downtown is a particular favorite), making a nigh-impenetrable fortress. We say nigh-impenetrable because the chitinous material can still be taken down with sufficient explosive force. Commandeer a tank and shoot at the hive enough with armored rounds, and eventually it will crumble. Of course, you’ll then have to deal with the full colony of giant insects streaming at you, but that’s all in a day’s work.

Efter årsmötet så startar Tempus Bion, vi ska försöka ha filmvisning på onsdagar. Nu på onsdag så är filmen som visas: Blood+: The Last Vampire från 2009

Vi ses på mötet.

What I’ve actually been reading lately are C J Sansom’s Shardlake Mysteries (which are great and very well researched if you like historical murder-mysteries).

Also from the web:

1. evizaer wonders how we can keep track of the ‘real’ histories of MMOs. All the guild drama, and the various interesting things that actual players have done.
2. Tamarind suffers a brief bout of level-80-phobia. Anyone else find themselves curiously reluctant to actually get to max level once it’s practically within reach? I know I often coast the last level or so, maybe a last ditch attempt to string the levelling game out for as long as possible.
3. The Escapist reports that a guy in the UK (oh why am I not surprised?) has written a boot fetish version of Pong, the venerable old console game. The boot is actually the controller, you have to grope and fondle it to play the game …
4. On a not very similar theme, Adele Caelia talks at BrightHub about embarrassing mistells and other ways in which sex can be entertaining in gaming. Well, she says embarrassing but I say there are few more hilarious things in MMOs than a totally inappropriate mistell. (Random factoid: mistells used to be known as ‘mavs’ in MUSH, named after a particularly notorious player called Mav.)
5. Ysharros saves my EQ2 sanity with a noob-friendly guide to EQ2 addons.
6. Naamah@Aionic Thoughts (a blog you really should be following if you’re into Aion) asks when Mass-PvP becomes a zergfest, and whether one is more fun than the other.
7. Andrew Douell, a roguelike developer, posts a very smart article about narrative in games and how some narrative tricks from other media just don’t work. I’m particularly taken by his observation that you can’t tell a story well with repeated play (eg. I killed an orc, then I killed an orc, then I killed an orc isn’t a very interesting story.)
8. Kirstimah at Rustled Leaves explains why DPSing reduced her IQ, a phenomenon many tanks and healers have also observed!
9. Syp writes about all the MMOs he could have tried but didn’t, and explains why not. I never played EQ because the only person I knew who played was a really annoying dork and he was really scarily obsessively into it. I knew if I tried it I’d be stuck talking to him any time we were in the same room.
10. What does it mean to roleplay in a game? Psychochild takes a look.
11. You’ve heard about the upcoming WoW film? Jess at Pretty in Plate starts wondering about who she’d cast to play her characters. Who would you cast for yours? (I dunno about that but Brian Blessed for Hemet Nesingwary with the help of some CGI is my pick.)
12. Dusty makes the case for a finite MMO, like a TV series with a beginning, a middle, and an end.

The video is indeed real, and News 14 Carolina has the story here.

This would be an awesome viral for starcraft II.

A dire il vero ne sta parlando mezzo mondo ed effettivamente è una cosa ben strana.
Le voci si moltiplicano e vanno dall’invasione aliena all’organismo geneticamente modificato alla “Fringe“.

A parte il fatto che non capisco perché non possano andare lì, staccarne uno e vedere cos’è, a me la prima impressione ha fatto venire in mente uno Zerg di StarCraft (e chi ci ha giocato almeno una volta sa a cosa mi riferisco…).

Dato che è imminente (o quasi) il lancio di StarCraft II da parte della Blizzard, vuoi vedere che alla fine questa è una bella trovata di viral marketing ?

Supposizione per supposizione…

"My Preciousssss"

Um novo vídeo foi disponibilizado pelo site Gametrailers. Nele, podemos ver uma jogatina em modo multiplayer, por cerca de 7 minutos. No vídeo, é possível apreciar a batalha entre as três raças; Terran, Zerg e Protoss. Uma palhinha do que está por vir.

StarCraft II ainda não tem data de lançamento. E eu também ainda não sei como postar vídeos do gametrailers direto no blog. Então, fiquem com o link.

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/52100.html

This is the latest report featuring one on one battle between Protoss (Yeon-Ho Lee) and Terran (David Kim) (mas magagaling nga ba ang mga Koreans?). It shows the classic massive land units battle and value of research to advance in the game.

Part 1:

Kumpara sa original StarCraft, mas mabilis na ang spell casts and a small group of units can really decide the outcome of the battle at syempre, pamatay ang graphics. Based from all the released battle reports, mukha namang ballanced ang tatlong races so far. Ang tanong: Kelan ga ito mare-release??

Link for part 2/2 here.

StarCraft 2 FAQs here. System requirements not available yet.

This post contains thoughts about the inhuman elements of the game world: psionics, aliens, robots and androids, cyborgs and whatnot.

My experience in balancing secrets and keys is not great, so all commentary is gladly accepted. Few of the secrets are intentionally powerful; steel and wires, in particular.

Psionics

Everyone knows psionics exist. Very few have met anybody capable of manifesting them or controlling their power. There are rumours of gifted children simply disappearing and of secret government programs and corporate assassins and so on. Rumours, nothing more.

Secret of psionics: The character can contact others with her mind. This requires a successful psionics (instinct) test, possibly resisted with resist or psionics. Using a skill through the psionic contact is taxing and costs 1 instinct. Other secrets in this chapter require the secret of psionics. Only those with the secret can take the psionics skill.

Secret of disciplined psionicist: Psionics (reason), not (instinct). Using skills through the connection has no extra cost. The character has been trained by some facility dedicated for this purpose, and is almost certain to either be an employee or a very hunted rogue operative.

Secret of [freaky exotic psionic ability]: The character can use [freaky exotic psionic ability], which may cost reason or instinct, in addition to requiring dice to be rolled. Telekinesis, making the heads of people explode, invisibility, illusions, that sort of stuff.

Secret of the electromancer: Psionics affects androids.

Secret of psionic storm: Pay up to six points from insinct or reason, whichever governs the psionics ability. Roll psionics. On failure, take reason harm equal to the resource spent. On success, deal that much harm to all characters in the great area affected by the power and take half that in reason damage. Named characters get to resist; others die, are in pain, or whatever was at stake. This ability is not fast to use and any psions in the affected area may resist, hence making this a risky proposition. Still utterly powerful.

The following keys, aside from the first one, only make sense for characters with (latent) psionic ability.

Key of shattered mind: Some psionicist has violently invaded the character’s mind. 1 experience for being hostile to such vile mind-rapers, 3 for losing control in public when something important is happening (and sobbing incoherently or going berserk, say). Buy-off: Forgive and accept.

Key of the empath: The character can sense the emotions, particularly strong emotions and pain, of others. 1 xp for revealing this in play, 3 for suffering due to the talent. Buy-off: Silence the pain by becoming inured to the suffering of others.

Key of the wilder: The character has uncontrolled or poorly controlled psionic ability. It manifests at inopportunate times, particularly when the character is stressed. 1 xp for uncontrolled manifestations, 3 for major destruction or set-back by wild psionics. (Note: this could manifest whenever the character fails a roll, particularly psionics roll, or when the story guide or players feel like it. Up to group negotiation.) Buy-off: Characters gets rid of unintended psionic effects (by iron will or removing the ability).

Steel and wires

Our game has thus far not seen detailed robotic player characters. We do know that proper robots and androids are (almost) immune to psionics.

Secret of steel among the flesh: Character can accomplish deeds requiring superhuman strength or endurance. One point of vigour gives 2 bonus dice to such and makes them possible.

Secrets of wires in the head: Character can compute and analyse with great speed. One point of reason gives 2 bonus dice for analysis (not limited to epsilon-delta proofs) and calculations.

Fancy cybernetic gadgets are also secrets. Heat-vision, cleverly hidden needle guns, hidden containers, armoured skin, things out of Cyberpunk books.

Key of programmed mind: Those who built or fixed the character added some unwanted orders. 1 xp when the character acts upon the programmed orders, 3 xp when he does so against his will. Buy-off: Remove the programming.

Key of lost humanity: Some go mad when great parts of their body are replaced with inorganic materials. 1 xp for showing the cold, aloof and cruel nature that is now character’s; 3 xp for murdering or slaughter of humans in cold blood. Buy-off: Become completely human or completely machine.

Key of malfunctioning component: Some component of character is constantly malfunctioning and in need of repair. 1 xp for maintaining it, 3xp for getting in trouble when it breaks anyways. Buy-off: Fix or replace it.

The hive cluster

Just recently there have been aliens discovered. Inspirations are the zerg of Starcraft and the aliens in series of movies with alien in the name. They are not public knowledge, and whether they will ever be is up to gaming. They have a hive mind; all are connected to the collective consciousness and it commands them all, much like a player in an RTS game. The aliens encountered thus far have been somewhat insectile in appearance.

Skill: Hive mind (instinct): The character is in contact with the hive mind, willingly or not. The skill can be used to communicate and command other aliens, but they can also command back. It works by telepathy. The collective has 4 skill, takes penalty dice for distance (1 for orbit, 2 for solar system, 3 for galaxy, 4 for outside it) and can command the character; resist with hive mind, telepathy or resist. The collective can also lend its knowledge and help for the character, in which case the character gets to help almost any skill roll with the hive mind skill, though failure at the roll inflicts a penalty die. Other keys and secrets of this chapter require this skill.

Key of slave to the brood: The character is unwilling servant of the swarm, yet has little power against it. 1 experience for obeying its orders, 3 for doing so in spite of one’s will. Buy-off: Be rid of the influence.

Key of corrupted monster: Requires some visible mutations. The character looks horrible and inhuman. 1 experience for being shunned and despised for it, 3 when someone’s actively hunting the character for such taint. Buy-off: Mask your true nature.

Secret of contaminated talent: Requires hive mind and psionics. Whenever character touches the mind of another, the brood widens its influence. Pay one instinct to inflict the slave to the brood-key upon any contacted via psionics. Upon first contact they also learn hive mind at skill level mediocre.

Secret of vast knowledge: The character can scan the collective memory for information pertaining to whatever subject; pay as much instinct as desired to get bonus dice for any attempt already aided by hive mind skill, 1 die per point of instinct. This is an awfully big deal.

Secret of regeneration: At the start of a session, or when significat time in the fiction is glossed over, roll endure are heal on level of vigour harm, up to the endure result. Further, given sufficient time, the character can heal from the most severe of wounds.

Secret of [random mutation]: Character has [random mutation]. Claws like knives! Acid spit! Tentacles! Using it may or may not cost vigour. Spitting acid does, for the record.

Charles brought me and my mom to church very early in the morning because I was the worship leader last Sunday and we had to practice. After the service, several of my cousins including my younger sister and brother and Charles and I went to McDonald’s near church to eat lunch. When we got back inside the car after the quick lunch, Charles was pointing somewhere and asking me, “Oh, look, what’s that?”

I, being the gullible thing, followed where his hand pointed. When I turned back at him he was hold a square shaped something wrapped in red and white plaid pattern. He said it was a prize because I passed the boards. And I guessed it right too. It was a copy of Griffin and Sabine! I just had to kiss him He made me really happy.

By Nick Bantock

Charles and I then headed to Galleria with Koji, Alyanna, and Marvin. Marvin was the first one to go to the pc shop, while the rest of us went to Photoline to have my picture taken first. I needed it for my PRC license. We also decided to get a picture taken together just for fun. We chose a red background, but it was just photoshopped in. It looks rather awful when we got it afterwards, but I had an idea that we doodle on the background. We haven’t done it yet, but I started a small doodle on mine already. Heheh.

We went to Toys ‘R Us to buy a toy gun. Koji needed it for a project. They were making a movie about globalization. I’m curious. I want to see it when they’ve finished. Hehe. Then on our way to the cashier, Alyanna found the 20Q Ball. She had always wanted to own one when Bethany (our cousin living in Shanghai) showed hers. It was a good thing Alyanna opened the package right away, since we found out it wasn’t working. The employee there changed the batteries, but he didn’t put the cover back on properly so we had to go back and asked someone else to screw it on right. It annoyed Charles and Koji. Haha.

Marvin was already playing when we got to the computer shop. We had planned to play Starcraft, but the plan failed because there wasn’t enough of us and there weren’t enough pc’s available. So the four of us decided to just go around the mall.

Our first agenda was to buy me slippers, because my heels were killing me. Charles gave me a little scolding Said I should always leave a pair of slippers in his car. Hehehehe. But we didn’t get there right away because I saw pretty leggings in Forever 21 Alyanna went to check it because I thought they were liquid leggings. Well, they weren’t, but still very very pretty and I wanted my own pair. Hehe. I tried on a party dress. Alyanna took a picture of me.

Haha! If only I had enough to money to buy it! But I didn’t have any… So I’ll just have to make do with a picture. Hehehehe…

So after checking out dresses, we went inside the department store to buy me a pair of slippers. I kept kidding Charles to buy it for me. Hehehehe. We decided to eat at Frostings. Koji suggested it and I was suddenly craving for a red velvet cupcake. But we could get to our destination right away. We were distracted by other shops. Haha. We went in one of my favorite shoe store, Aldo. I tried on some shoes and they were having a sale! If only I had cash…. Sigh.

I would upload the shoe on sale here, but sadly… I can’t find on the net. I wasn’t able to take a picture of it. Hmm. Oh well. Let’s just hope it’s still there by the time I get some money on my hands

I don’t quite remember where else we went, but we finally got to Frostings. There was a kiosk nearby and I found cute uniquely shaped erasers–food erasers–the one my younger sister loves collecting…  I grew fond of them too so I’ve always kept in mind to buy some for Seth if I get the chance to come across one. And I finally did.

Charles and I picked our surprise for Seth and planned to buy the other designs for next time. So happy

My dad called and set me on an errand to buy a clip for his keys. And we came across Saizen where everything sells for P85. Haha… Found more erasers there and arm warmers.

My sister likes to copy Selena Gomez’s fashion from Wizards of Waverly Place, so I decided to buy those for Seth too next time. Haha. I think my mom would want to shop there too. She just loves household items.

So that’s just about it. We went home after that because Charles’s needed to be someplace. He dropped us off in my house and stayed for a bit before going home to fetch his mom. (Alyanna finished Griffin and Sabine in a few hours.)

Thank you love for Griffin and Sabine ^x^ I love you. <3

When I first wrote this down as a topic, I was still resident on my original server and had yet to be touched by the Mythic/GOA population compression software WinWar. So in my mind, against all the evidence I still imagined things moving forward and maybe, just maybe the populations growing again. But what is effectively an enforced move from one of the prime launch servers, tends to set a mood that is a bit hard to shake, it has a certain finality about it. I’m sure in a couple of days I will be over it, once I am on a really busy server and my frame rate is back down in the dungeons of despair.

So what I will discuss here, is kind of moot, since I am not sure we will ever see an expansion of the server numbers again. So Mythic creating a server type for this particular purpose, would be kind of self defeating.

However, for the sake of argument and I’ll be dammed if I am going to throw away the subject. What would you say to the warband grouping being dropped all together, leaving the 6 character group at the top of the tree?

I know the warband is a rather comforting blanket that you can wrap around yourselves in ORvR, but doesn’t it make you a little bit lazy or maybe you have felt that some people really haven’t been pulling their weight, though to be honest how can you really tell? Yep I know it’s great when a few guildies turn up and you can just rejig the groups, or maybe just slot a few in on the end, without worrying too much about them not having a healer in their group, since they can still be easily healed.

Getting rid of the warband means you’re really going to have to work. No more jumping into the masses and hoping your shocking performance is missed again. Everybody in the group has to be pulling in the same direction, with the same ultimate goal. Yes, you would be right to expect a rollicking and no more group invites, if you’re stuck halfway up a mountain side, in a 1 on 1, with no resolution in sight and your healer taking the thrashing of his life. 

Yep with a warband, you can deal with a few people not being around, as is often shown on the map, when a warband member is so far away, they’re in another time zone. Unfortunately the Warhammer interface still doesn’t tell you if they’re in your group, unless you highlight the blob and check to see if there in your group (FFS Mythic colour the blobs for each group in the warband, so we can tell instantly who’s done a bunk behind the bicycle shed for a smoke).

If the group were to become the biggest unit of people supported by Warhammer, then I would like to think that zerging would be tad harder to happen. Of course you would still have large gatherings, but they would tend to be around the focal points, like forts, warcamps and keeps. Maybe we should get group speed into the game, provided by a particular archetype. It would surely help break up the zergs, especially if they were travelling at different speeds.

As you can probably tell, I think the warband is directly responsible for a lot of the mindless zerging the game has, though zone layout also plays a big part. Yes we had zerging in DAOC, but it tended to occur around fortifications/bridges etc. The rest of the landmass used to be free and open. Maybe to free and open for Mythic’s taste. I wouldn’t totally disagree about.

What do people think? Am really just blowing smoke out of my ass?

PS – After the Norn server transfers, Eldric is no more, only the mighty Eldriche exists.

Over on Werit’s Warhammer blog, he is taking readers time traveling this week as he re-publishes old posts. He went all the way back to June 2008 for Wednesday’s post, which deals with the issue of zerging.

Zerging, as Werit defines it, “is basically getting a large group of players and going from objective to objective, laying waste to anything in your path.”

He gets right to the point in explaining why zergs work. Healers keep these massive swarms of players alive and stabbing. They can out-heal enemy DPS, and they can even heal and resurrect each other, which makes for a very frustrating and unproductive time trying to take out the zerg’s backbone.

Werit also points out that the relatively close placement of objectives allows for an easy mass migration from one point to another. This means that gigantic sea of red names will quickly drown your puny attempt to attack another objective.

At the end of his post, Werit asked his readers if WAR, which at that time had not been released, would have such issues with zerging. Now, over a year later, he is asking if he was right.

Yes, he was. Terrifyingly so.

Both Order and Destruction have had their own turns leading zerglings from zone lock to zone lock. That’s ok. It’s not fun being vastly outnumbered, but it’s bound to happen and players brace themselves, grit their teeth and deal with it.

Massively-multiplayer is in the name for a reason, but sometimes the imbalance gets to be a bit much.

In his post, Werit wrote, ”The problem with a zerg is, it becomes pointless to even fight it. You will just end up feeding renown to your enemy. All you can do is make your own large group or wait until the zerg breaks up, then go recapture everything. The whole battlefield becomes a flipping affair.”

The big problem WAR had, and is still working on, is making sure the zergfest doesn’t stick around 24/7. That’s when it gets demoralizing, and players begin to quit or reroll elsewhere. I remember being on Vortex and getting absolutely steamrolled over and over by Order, until I left to play Destruction on Dark Crag for about a month.

Luckily, Mythic seems to be getting its act together. Server transfers saved active players from dying servers (good riddance Vortex!) and I’m looking forward to the coming crowd control modifications.

I’m on Volkmar now, and while I find myself against Order zergs occasionally, the RvR is nothing like it was on Vortex. One side usually has the upper hand in numbers, but lately I’ve been seeing relatively equal forces smashing each other’s skulls.

Zergs are an inevitable part of WAR, but are unhealthy in excess, just like anything else (coughbrightwizardscough).

While at Blizzcon, I had the opportunity to play Starcraft 2 a couple of times.  From what I could tell, Starcraft 2 should definetly fill the 11 year void in the Starcraft line since the Brood War expansion for the original Starcraft game.  I honestly think that this game will have the following and lasting power that Starcraft had; it seems to have a lot of the best features and play style that made Starcraft one of the most popular games of all time.  The graphics, obviously, have been updated and the game looks great; it is one of the sharpest looking games I have ever seen (even more so than Diablo 3 or the new World of Warcraft expansion, Cataclysm).  The comptuer’s AI seems to have been more than tweaked and should have be advanced enough for even seasoned veterans of either the psionic Protoss, the adaptable Terrans, or the insectoid Zerg to find a challenge in single player free for all games.

Blizzard sigue manteniendo su calidad en cuanto a cinemáticas… Jawdrop.

Starcraft II aún no tiene fecha de salida (ojala sea este año)
