Virtual Marriages

The Straits Times this morning has an interesting article about virtual marriages in MMOGs. Link here, excerpt below:
“There are at least four massively multiplayer online role-playing games with in-game marriage functions that are popular with Singaporeans.
On MapleStory, at least 9,000 Singaporean gamers have taken time off from quests killing monsters to get married. And on [...]

Board Games Cafe Visit

 
We recently had a class visit to a board game cafe located at SAFRA Tampines.
The Mind Cafe is a cafe-like establishment, much like Starbucks or Coffee Bean. It has a really nice ambience and it’s pretty suitable for gathering a few friends and having fun for a couple of hours. The cafe has a wide variety of [...]

Video Games Live

Well, a bit late for posting it, but better late than never.
Video Games Live was awesome for the performance. However, before the concert, there was virtually nothing to do up there, except to mingle around and see all the exhibitions. I was a bit sad since I couldn’t buy the souvenirs as I [...]

WCG Funan League

Talking about WCG. WCG has been around since the turn of the millennium, [...]

Game Music and Video Games Live!!

Well, I thought about putting up a post about game music and well, here goes.
I think that game music has been one of the most important features in games and also one of the features that is taken granted of a lot of times by players. Game music really helps to decide what mood will [...]
