Just an Update…

February 25th, 2009

Alright, I’ve been away from this blog for months already and would like to give an update:

-Im already 18(last december) and I’m already working. I say turning 18 is surprising because everything just got so hectic that It’s so difficult to manage. However, I managed to sort things out.

-Im working on a animated series for a company in the US of A which is pressuring me real hard.

-Im working on my OJT too! Finally its done by today and im just waiting for my servers in the company I work at so I can implement my work and get my grades.

-IM WORKING(again) on my thesis in which the teacher is an asshole for pressuring us to show our work on specific dates. I have no idea why is he doing this.

-Im starting to put gaming aside and focus more on working. But Ive always wanted to game at times.

All I wish is that I get a good pay, good grades and a stable life. I’ll also keep track of this blog.

-Chris

This past weekend, on Saturday December 6th 2008, Troy Dixon lost his life in an automobile accident. All of us here are still in a state of shock and trying to cope with this unthinkable tragedy.

Once more details are known we’ll make a formal main-page announcement of this terrible news, including any ways you can support Troy’s family through this nightmare. In the meantime, please send your thoughts and condolences to Troy’s family and friends in this thread - http://forums.purepwnage.com/index.php?showtopic=84470

He is a known Icon in Pure Pwnage(actor in PP) and in Halo 3(T-Bag is his IGN). The world lost another one of the greatest gamers in the world. I recall this guy playing in Blood Gulch, he’s so polite and nice. Too bad I haven’t met him personally.

The only thing that we will be able to see him is by watching his old performances in the Pure Pwnage episodes.

R.I.P. Troy T-Bag Dixon. We will miss you in the upcoming shows.

Technology Woes

November 22nd, 2008

Hello there, another blog post here and there are tits pictures here. Only that they aren’t porn. Hahahaha.


Anyways, The BFWGaming.com LAN Party is nearing and I have only 1 week left. My rig is ready to be brought there except that I need a new video card. Fortunately, last 3 weeks an american friend of mine offered me 2 Thousand Pesos for her project. A project that’s not really hard, just a simple Macromedia Director Movie. 2 Thousand Pesos was sooo tempting so I finished it about a day. The day after, she paid me and she got her project. Wohoo! Achievement Unlocked for me. The night after that, I got a letter from my grandma from Australia. She was giving away an early Christmas for me so I got 100 Australian Dollars. So I got like 5 Thousand Pesos a day in that time. What a big present…

My target video card. A HD 4830.

So I was thinking of buying a 3870 with my current budget. But then the guys of forums.purepwnage.com suggested not to get it since it has no more driver support and its old. They suggested that I would pick up a HD 4830 so I took their suggestion. So I looked for a 4830 here in Cebu but found NOTHING.

I tried buying online and found TipidPC. Costed around 7k including Shipping Fees but is in Cash Basis. BTW, its not me that will personally but it. It’s my dad’s company that will order it and they’ll get it for credit in our supplier. Sad for me, I finally resorted on picking up a 3870 even though its OLD. But then while looking for a HD 3870 from our supplier, they say they have no stocks available and might take week or 2 for it to arrive. God, I can’t wait that long! I need the video card before Wednesday next week! It’s like all of the nicest ATi video cards here are gone!

That was depressing for me. But then dad suggested me to be a Nvidia Whore. Nvidia packs alot of punch in performance. I didn’t expect a 9800GT would perform faster than a 4830 only a little. Luckily, we have a supplier that supplies alot of XFX Video Cards. Right now its on progress for ordering one and hopefully I can have that video card real fast in my hands.

Typical Drooling Material

Imagine? XFX is the sex in most of the Nvidia Cards. And I’m picking it. This seems to be goodbye for ATi though. Just because of that DAMNED out of stock reasons and all of the high end stuff is only available at Manila. Screw Manila, This is why we can’t have nice things because they won’t give away nice things in the provinces specifically Cebu.

Alright. Hopefully I get that video card. Thanks guys for reading.

First Visit at Fine Upgrades

November 21st, 2008

Sorry if I haven’t posted yesterday. Yesterday was so much of a busy day for me. But I wrote this at home at dawn when there was no internet.

And sorry but no pictures for you guys in here. Just sharing a experience when I went to Fine Upgrades’ Office :D

I went to Fine Upgrades last Monday to pass our Dealership forms to them and was amazed of what was there. I decided to share it so some of you guys will have an idea what actually is in their office.

It was 12pm at SM Cebu and finished my lunch with friends. Asked for directions from my lecturers in Informatics and left SM. I took a jeepney ride that passes on Borromeo and I dropped at the Borromeo Plaza. Actually, there is no jeepney route that passes on where Fine Upgrades is located so you have to walk your way to their office. So I walked into the streets of Magallanes, making myself look unimportant so snatchers, robbers or manwhores(ROFL, Thanks Irvin for coining this term) will be discouraged on robbing me. Well if they rob me, Im always a melee guy so they better be wary.

I saw their signage and posters and I walked in. I thought what would I see ahead when I entered that building was their office. Well no, before you enter their office, you enter a machine shop and a another office which I don’t remember what it was(there were lots of paperworks lying around in there). But then the guys in the machine shop are willing to escort you into their office. It’s pretty polite though, the guy who escorted me into their office was actually wearing one of those MBM Lan Party shirts which I also had. So what came into my head is that the guy is one of the staffs of Fine Upgrades.

So the guy led me to their office and finally arrived in their office. Got a warm welcome from the lady in her desk which was the lady that I talked to when I phoned Fine Upgrades last Saturday regarding our dealership application. Well if you look around too well and read some of the stuff in there, you’ll see one of those PC Troubleshooting Flowcharts pinned in their corkboard which you can see in iStorya.net as a stickied thread.

You’ll also see some laminated newspaper articles in their walls, all about the MBM Lan Party and the first time Fine Upgrades was introduced to public. I had a little chat with the lady in the desk about those articles. Actually, I have read all of those articles but never kept them and I regret not keeping and treating those like the most precious treasures ever. Articles like when Mr. Wilson Ng’s first published that there will be a Gigantic(O RLY?) Lan Party which was the MBM Lan Party. Back when I’ve read that article, I immediately called Ngenius and NgKhai inquiring about the Lan Party. I got my tickets ahead of time back then, of course the upcoming Lan Party that time was exciting for me.

If you think that their acrylic cases are ready to use when you buy, well you’re wrong. I didn’t know that their Acrylic Cases still needs to be assembled when I saw their acrylic cases packed in “briefcase style” that is lying around in the office. Their acrylic cases don’t come assembled and packed in a gigantic box, the acrylic cases come in packed briefcase forms which is up to you to assemble. Well, assembling the casing is going to be a fun job to do. So don’t bring your woes in their acrylic casings, im even having a feeling of regret when I bought that acrylic case of mine in a chinese computer shop located at downtown cebu which was first assembled when I bought it.

You’ll see pictures of Fine Upgrades’ staff back on the COMDAPP 2008, its pretty fun to watch at the pictures. Anyways, I see that Sir Ryan is really valuing memories of his company. Good job Sir Ry, More Power to your Company :D
Well then after passing the dealership form, the little chit-chat, the look-around, the lady in the desk told me that I’ll receive a reply regarding the application. So I left Fine Upgrades and I was waiting for a reply. After that day, My dad got a phone call from Fine Upgrades telling that we are now a Authorized Dealer of their products. Finally we will get to sell their products on SRP though :D
