The old gaming days

For a veteran gamer like me will never forgot their first console games they played. I still remember the Nintendo console, the family computer. Mario 1 is my very first game I played that is when I’m on kindergarten days. I still hearing the sound of Mario when jumping on those days. Me and my friends play mimicking Mario and Luigi and also Bowser a.k.a. King Koopa. In a young age I’m early exposed of gaming, I skip classes when I was on the fifth grade, I got hooked in super Nintendo console playing legend of Zelda; link’s awakening (wow complete title!!). And my grandmother noticed me I’m always early go home from school (but I’m really come from computer shop) even though I have my own console. But I didn’t forgot my studies as well, I’m still on the baseball team from grade 5 to grade 6, while playing console games (I play games from 1-9 hours in a day). That’s my life when I’m still on grade school.

Then on my high school life (hmm.. still playing as well) but in different platform right now. The Playstation 1 gathered many players because of the very 2d/3d graphics. On that time I was not that active on playing but I still playing, and finishing lots of games (maybe more than 50 games I already finished on PS1). Having a girl and my own Radio station in campus makes me busy.

After my high school graduation my blood of gaming revived!! My parents want me to go to college but I refused.(wait!! I refused but I’m forced to study just to have some money to play, quite shabby huh). I hooked on PC, playing counter-strike and other PC games (except online games because on that time there’s no online games ever released, if ever they release the internet fee is high price costing 40 pesos per hour on a pc shop). I’m sucked on it within 2 years. Having my girl within 2 years and gaming for my entire life.

My parents noticed I didn’t get serious of my college course (my course on that years is computer electronics), so my father bought me my own PC to quit playing PC outside. And that year released Ragnarok Online thanks to my father and he bought me one (hahaha). How did I have an internet? I’ve learned that having a landline you can access internet with a dial-up modem, so I earn my money and buy one. I focused on studying and going home without eating my dinner and directly log on to the game. I only sleep in 4 in the morning then wake up 7 in the morning in that day also (I only have four hours of sleeping). I thank internet access instead of attending school I just open an internet explorer and research related on my course (while playing RO). I more understand the explanation on the internet than my professor so I started skipping classes and hooked in online games. That’s my life on college days, instead of studying my course in 2 years it takes long of 4 ½ years.

And now… I have no work… just a bystander. Learning on internet is not enough you really need a diploma to gain some job. What is knowledge if you haven’t a diploma to show? But I’m proud of my knowledge some of the college graduate finished their course without learned or they just learned a little. And having their own job not related to their course taken. Especially my batch mates they graduate but look their job is not related to it. For me I think I’m lot more better than me even though I haven’t a regular job I still earn something on Repairing / Analyzing PC, Web designing etc.

So for all gamers out there study well and not just study based on books huh.

My Memories

My memories

I’ve never felt something like this on my entire life. I felt uncomfortable and bothered. Last night I dreamed of my ex-girlfriend. My dream showed that were both married and finding a new house and we found a small apartment. And my dream cut on it. Then I woke up about 6 o’clock early in the morning and I can’t stand up thinking of my ex-girlfriend. We unofficially broke up together about 3 years ago. We just broke up because of lose of communication (and it’s my fault, selling my old cell phone and not buying new one). I courted her about 3 years (2 years in high school days and 1 in college days) and having her in my arms about 2 years only. It’s my biggest mistake I have done on a girl. I always promised to her that we will see each other again (she wanted to see me every day but we were too far each other). I hooked on online games and forgot her. And this January 4, 2009 I dreamed about her and start surfing the net, looking on every site related to her place. And I found her on friendster, but something is not right. She looks like male. On her pictures she’s hugging a lady, her haircut is like a ordinary male with bleached hair, her dress is different, a dress of a mid aged man. She looks more male than me. I never thought that this would happen. Is it because I left her? Being my first girlfriend and being me as her first boyfriend?

I put a shame on me, why I leave her and exchange her to some online games. I never thought that she will become a lesbian. As of now I can’t take the truth. But I will forget her.

ELCid's Epilogue

This would be my very first blog I ever did. My purpose here is to introduce the latest news on gaming and technology world (as far as i can) (rumors will be accepted to share the news). As for now I'll introduce my very first blog.

Emil Chronicles Online

LUG (Level Up Games) introduce Emil Chronicles Online last level up live 2008. This sounds promising for new gamers out there.

Emil Chronicle Online takes place in the land of Acronia. There exists three races; Emil (human race), Titania (angels), and Dominion (demons). In relation to our understanding of the worlds Tatania is above the world of Acronia, while Dominion is below it. In the distant future the civilization completely depleted the earth's valuable resources. In its search for new resources worlds which were never meant to be connected were bridged. Complete chaos ensued between the three races. Humans entered into the heavens and underworlds, realms never meant for them. From the aftermath of chaos was the emergence of a new history. There was a great effort to rebuild and regroup as each race reclaimed their rightful spot in the world.





Key Features
