Dekaron SEA: Hype for open beta
August 31, 2008
What better way to make diehard MMORPG players salivate for a game than showing them clips upon clips of videos. This is just what mobiusgames, operator of Dekaron in Southeast Asia, is doing.
So, in case you missed the jump onto the Dekaron bandwagon, I suggest you watch these videos to whet your appetite in time for open beta this September:
MMO Etiquette: Stop poking me!
August 31, 2008
It’s time again for another lesson in etiquette in MMORPGs. Here’s an interesting topic: Is it proper to invite another player to a party, initiate trading with another player, or challenging another player to a duel without asking first?
The answer: Hell no!
Why? Because it’s rude, annoying and always done at the wrong time. If you can’t see my point, try to put yourself on the receiving end of all of it. There you are, minding your own business, suddenly another character walks up to your character and challenges you to a duel or player-versus-player combat. Since you’re doing something very important (such as rifling through your stash), you decide to ignore the spineless anachronism who threw the gauntlet. Five minutes later, the idiot’s still trying to get you into a fight. In response, you suddenly blurt out (with your fingers, of course), “If you only ask nicely, I’d probably take you up on your challenge.”
See the point? There’s really no harm in asking another player nicely if he or she wants to join your party, trade with you, or bash his Uber Scepter of Godly Flame +10 on your empty noggin.
Still don’t see my point? Whew, thank the Big G for game filters.

Old school video game commercials
August 31, 2008
Here’s yet another collection of old video game and video-game related commercials, and I’ve got to tell you, some of them are really old. It’s a bit disconcerting to watch since it’s really just a mash up with no theme in mind. It does, however, bring back fond memories, especially if you grew up with the featured games.
Sega Deals: Get Yakuza 2 for £15.99
August 31, 2008
PowerPlayDirect is selling Yakuza 2 for £15.99 and free shipping. If you don’t pick this game up, you are the cancer that is killing Sega. So pick up two copies, give one to a friend. Sharing is caring.
The game hits European shores on September 28th. If you didn’t know that, I don’t blame you, Sega’s marketing department isn’t doing much for the title.
