A day at PC Options – Gilmore…

Cutting the story short, right after office, I went straight home and rest for an hour and told my mom that I have to go to the PC shop (PC Options) to get my rig checked.

As I was suspected, it was the power supply who failed me.  But the guys at PC Options were perhaps the best crew in terms of service. I had a lot of bad experiences in terms of item warrantys and the like, but by the moment I got there, the guys are already up and ready to disect my ailing system.

It took me a while though to go home, I can’t blame the guys for passing by my PC once in a while since customers are flowing in. And those customers are there to buy stuff, not to get their stuff checked. Even though I was at their service center, single units are being sold there as well, and there are also some other units needed to be checked.

I was able to chat with all of the service men of PC options and even though they work like horses, they were still able to accomodate all of their customers. But 2 members of the crew stayed with the rig (perhaps they were the veterans of fixing stuff there), and gave me some tips on my PC, they’ve informed me that, yeah my power supply’s already busted but since its still in its warranty period, they’ll replace it free of charge. However, they warned me that this new power supply will eventually end up like the first one since its generic.

These guys placed like 3 or 4 power supply units on my PC to check the most efficient one. The first one’s bad, 2nd one’s working but noisy, the third one’s quiet (really quiet since it shuts down after a while) and the fourth one, I already forgot. hehe :gg:

Anyway, I’d like to give out my kudos to the staff of PC Options and its management for their help and patience with their customers like me, I know for myself that I’m not the ranting one but I demands solutions in a nice way, and these guys did their job perfectly. I hope we all work like this. Again, Thanks a lot! :no1:

P.S.

Guys, if you plan to buy affordable PC stuff, this isthe place to be. I’ll put my name on the line. :no1:

As an anime lover, I love to contribute as much as I can. But based on the author’s (Vampire Maiden) profile page, she watched over 500 titles already and that record simply drops my jaw on the ground.

So what will I post there? You’ll see… In the mean while, why don’t you visit animemaiden.com

I saw this site about a week or two and was amazed on the author’s insights about the game, the blog offers tactics, videos, strategies and of course, funny stuff. Talk about tactics and strategies, you have a favorite army in particular you want to master? They’ll show you the way on how to get to the top. But of course, they’ll just show it to you, its up to you on how to apply the stuff.

I haven’t browsed the site completely but I can say that this is a must visit site for all CoH fanatics out there! :no1:

notes: emoticons are now back, I’ll continue working w/ the plurk plugin later. :gg:

Travian bits…

I’m afraid to say this, but I have to say that I’m now a certified Travian addict. This game’s the reason why I’m not blogging that much, even Company of Heroes, the favorite RTS that I’m playing is being neglected for an obvious reason.

Well, I believe I have described what the game’s like, to make things short, its a text-based strategy game. But what I love about this game the most is that it just the same old hack en slash en obliterate your enemies. Its about having bonds with the people around your territory. Enemy or ally or neutral.

I’ve given up my character on server 5, and I guess I’m about to do the same on server 8 since it didn’t start off well. On the other hand, on server 3 and the Philippine server is a different story.

On server 3, I’ve found new friends in the game. :no1:

And on the Philippine server, it so happened that I’ve made my own alliance and right now we have 8 active members including myself.

Why don’t you try playing? Its definitely a long and you might say boring game but once you get the hang of it. You’ll love it. :no1:

Hammers and Nails Ladies…

For the past few weeks, I’ve stopped playing Ragnarok Online… Yeah I got bored and I’m busy doing something.

But of course, the kid inside me won’t let me stop playing, and since RO’s not really of help to make my playing instinct satisfied, I diverted my attention with a new game. That is Company of Heroes. By the way, Thanks to Ramon for lending me the disc to play the game. Good thing that I visited Camp Big Falcon weeks ago to get the game.. :) On the other hand, I trade my C&C3 for him to enjoy the game as well.

The first thing that he told me about the game was:

Gusto mo nang aksyon? Laruin mo to.

And the game didn’t fail me. I confess that I’m an addict for RTS games. Thanks to Westwood’s C&C. This game captured the hearts of every kid or adult alike. Anyway, about COH…

Basically, I loved the gameplay of COH. The setting of the game is based on the conflict of Allied and Axis Powers during the Second World War. Particularly concentrating on American and German troops. I only got a frown during the campaign mode since only the Allied forces are given the chance to have a campaign (but excellent story line for the Allies).

In every RTS game, resources are critical. If C&C has tiberium, and Starcraft has minerals and vespene gas, COH has strategic points. There are three types of resources in the game, namely: Manpower, Fuel and Munitions. And you can find these resources throughout the game. But the player must establish a supply line in order to collect the resources. Giving an advantage to the player’s economy.

Axis’ units tend to be more expensive as compared to their Allied counterparts…. Axis units are obviously stronger and harder to breach.

In most RTS games, there’s less attention that’s been given to infantry units. Company of Heroes cut the tradition. Actually, you control a squad of rifleman instead of a single soldier. And if you’re used to the game, a simple rifle squad can do some damage. I mean it. :) And the logic of bullets vs. composite armors been proven in the game too. Three or four rifleman won’t be able to topple town a Panzer tank by flushing them with bullets. Sticky bombs can, but rifles? Asa.

Wanna see what COH looks like? Here. Take a look.

Can you see the detail of the surroundings? Neat eh? What made my jaws dropped off the floor was you can actually zoom in to the units itself. If a MG crew or sniper enters a building, they won’t just raise a flag and start firing… You can actually see them opening the door or window, and start shooting and hide again. :D

An allied unit docked at a building. Wait… Isn’t that an Axis Armor?

And of course, the sound and music of the game’s awesome… COH didn’t lay a waste in this section. Its as if you’re in the battle field… You can hear the troops cursing while firing at their enemies, and when they cuss, THEY CUSS. Lol. Sometimes, you select a unit off-screen, you can actually hear the unit responding as if it’s talking to a radio. :D sweet…

No wonder why PC gamer hailed this masterpiece the best game last 2006… Well, what can I say, I’m just a player, and all I can do is agree. and yeah, I appreciate the work of those people who made this game possible. Panalo. :D

Germans drag racing along a cross fire. Lol.
