When I read the title “She’s Just Not That Into You” I kinda thought that it had some relation to the movie so I read it. In a way it does, then again, that would also mean everything else in the world is related in one way or another.
I couldn’t help but drool over the charm bracelet, even though it’s kinda branded Nintendo. I’m very much into my DS Lite and somewhat hands on with my XBox. But what’s ruling me these days has gotta be my iPhone.

Exams are around the corner. Even if I wanted to plug in my Xbox and start hitting away on the controller, I mustn’t, no way! Updating content on my numerous have-to-be-updated blogs and such, is taking far too much time as it is.
That said, it’s the first day of the month. Ideally an update here is called for. And for that, I shall. Even if it isn’t going to be a full fledged review of a game or an introductory piece to play one.
Now, we all know that women these …

It’s all about ‘sex‘ now? I, like many others out there, love the look of an attractive man as much as the next woman (since I’m a female and all). But where do you draw the line?
If you notice lately at Ping.sg, topics related to ‘sex‘ tend to hit the ‘most popular in the last 24 hours‘ charts easily.

This is becoming a trend which many are using at their advantage.

If you were to select Counter-Strike (the PC game) or Paintball, which would you pick? For me, I pick Counter-Strike of course. I never really liked “real life” violence. Virtual reality kind is “okay”, I guess. I mean, you can’t actually get injured playing a PC game, can you?
Anyway… I’ve been hearing a couple of comments about the somewhat link between Counter-Strike and Paintball. And to be frank, I find it ridiculous.
Counter-Strike is Counter-Strike.
Paintball is Paintball.
The significant difference between them is that one is virtual the other is reality. Enough …

Here’s something new.

A game related blog that I frequent (read only, never commented) is somewhat expanding!
Here’s some news – the Independent Gaming weblog is moving to a new domain and becoming IndieGames.com: The Weblog, as part of the CMP Game Group (Independent Games Festival creator)’s outreach into the independent gaming scene.
Told you their “expanding“…

Based on Ivan Goldberg, M.D., in 1995, he states that Internet Addiction Disorder (IAD) is a theorized disorder originally made as a satirical hoax. He took pathological gambling as diagnosed by the DSM-IV as his model for the spoofed description.
Honestly, I’m not quite getting it.
Anyway…
Addiction itself is real, it’s not even something new. Internet on the other hand, is not new of course, but it’s rapidly changing. Life has it’s ways to confuse and mislead, or perhaps you can say it’s society/environment that caused it. Like what I’ve just written, …

At a stage of a gamers life, a critical stage that is, there’s this possibility that gaming itself becomes this extreme addiction that seriously affects the whole flow of your life itself.
Have I been at such a stage previous? No. Thank god.
There was a period of time in my life that I was somewhat addicted to gaming, yes. However, that was the period of time that I wasn’t actually doing anything “worthwhile” anyway.
It was the stage of my life when I had to choose a path, and that might be …

Haven’t you people gotten over that yet? Seriously, which generation are you living in?
Geez! Com’on already… The whole guys are better then girls concept is so past-tense. Guys should start getting over themselves. Haven’t you heard? female gaming is the new IN thing!
Why do I say that? Well…
On September 04, 2007, four friends – Dana, Leslie, Monique and Suzie wrote the first entry for their new “Girls Don’t Game (GDG)” blog. The idea of the site is to discusses video games and other gaming related topics.

It’s so unfair…
Why wasn’t there a gaming fiesta back when I was still very much into gaming? Sigh…
Gaming Festival is a bold new initiative by a group of tertiary students, to bring gaming enthusiasts together. We hope to allow gamers to find opportunities in our new gaming industries, at the same time networking and enjoying themselves. Gaming Festival will also be a venue for our upcoming software and board gaming industries to promote themselves and to bring about a higher level of interest of gaming and gaming development in …

I feel as though I’ve been hiding in a deep, deep, deep well for so long until I can barely remember.
I’m not sure about you guys out there, but I have seriously never heard of the “Society of Simulation and Gaming of Singapore (SSAGSg)” in my life!
According to the website:
The Society of Simulation and Gaming of Singapore (SSAGSg) is a non-profit professional organization set up to contribute to the development of Simulation and Gaming in Singapore and the region.
They claim that their a focused community for researchers, practitioners and developers …
