Firesheep has been out for a while and it has totally opened my eyes to how vulnerable we can all be when we don't think of Internet security. I'll try to make it as simple as possible that even my teen kids can understand it. What is Firesheep If you're unfamiliar with Firesheep, you can read this article from the creator. If you find it too geeky then you should watch this vid instead: Yes folks, ANYONE with this Addon can takeover your account without knowing your username nor password....

In-game: when you kill others, they respawn. In-real life: when you kill others they don't get up. The boy, from Busan in Korea's south-east, got into an argument on Monday night with his mother when she "scolded" him for playing video games. As tensions escalated, the boy strangled his mother to death before hanging himself. Although the news above emphasized that the killer was a gamer, it doesn't mean that all gamers are violent. All this shows was that the kid needed help; too bad he...

Just got an announcement coming from Perfect World Co., Ltd. that Heroes of Three Kingdoms (HOTK) also known as Chi Bi/Red Cliff and other PW Co. games like Legend of Martial Arts and Hot Dance Party will be coming to the Philippines via Cubinet.ph. In November 2010, the two parties cooperated again to license "Legend of Martial Arts," "Chi Bi" and "Hot Dance Party" to the Philippines.

Yup! Thanks to my Windows XP OS crashing on me, I've gone Ubuntu Linux for the last two months. So far I'm enjoying it. I was able to download, install, and try out a bunch of free programs (note they're not pirated folks--free as in beer/freedom programs/softwares exist!) I was also able to play Windows-based MMOs using Wine. Below is the list of just a few I've been playing since: Perfect World International Jade Dynasty Battle of the Immortals Savage 2 Urban Terror Wolfenstein: Enemy...

Battle of Immortals will have a Philippine server coming this November 2010. For those unfamiliar with the game, it was developed by the same company that brought you Perfect World and Jade Dynasty ( ZXOnline PH ): Perfect World. I tried it out in the international servers a couple of months back and enjoyed it. Register here to play in BOI PH CBT. I'll play this since this also plays well on Ubuntu GNU/Linux.

Feel free to correct me here guys, but I think I may have found possible Fashion Items for Allods. See below: Since I'm seeing wedding gowns, am I correct in guessing that there will be a marriage system in the future?

Levelup Games PH's Allods PH Management Team had a meeting yesterday with a few of the guilds who will be actively participating in the game. One of the premier guild of which I'm a member of, The Holy Order of Light, has put up a blogpost in their fansite and summarized the meeting for all those who weren't able to attend. Here are just some snippets and my comments. One of the more important information given to the guild leaders is that Allods Online CBT will be opened to the public, who...

Google just made Bit.ly 's life a little harder with the inclusion of stats to their URL shortener.

You also know that when you click a goo.gl shortened URL, you’re protected against malware,...

The ultimate goal of a serious guild in Allods Online Philippines (Allods PH) should be the Astral Ship. Compared to other MMORPGs this can be compared to a guild castle. An Astral Ship will allow you and your guild to fly into the Astral (space) and go to different islands, also known as Allods. However travelling through the Astral will be fraught with dangers both from Astral mobs and other guilds as well. If you and your guild are interested to build and pilot an Astral Ship in Allods...

Allods Online PH will definitely have the Fatigue system. At first, most in Allods NA thought that Astrum Nival, the game developer, was committing suicide by putting a rather large block infront of "adik" players. Eventually, players saw what it was, a way to earn extra EXP when they rested. Below is a comprehensive guide to Fatigue via the Allods NA forums. INTRODUCTION After doing a little bit of experimentation, asking a lot of questions trying to figure it out, and being put down for...
