Evil Woobie

When was the last time you donned a costume for a party? Were you afraid you’ll look silly? How about if you attended a consortium event with thousands of people wearing costumes, won’t you feel sillier if you’re not wearing one? My love for cosplay goes way back. I remember attending parties with [...]

I was asked to judge an online beauty pageant by Master Diwa, the main organizer of the site. The contestants are all deserving, but we the judges are supposed to choose the ones who best answered the questions, which touched on personal image, message to the community, and overall suggestions on how to further improve [...]

Part of the pain of being an advice-giver is the feedback from those we helped and inadvertently opened our emotions to. Usually, someone says “It worked!

Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Games (MMORPG) are the first places I went to online. I spent years playing these and gaining friends who have been invaluably helpful in my growth as an individual and as a gamer. Some of the most enjoyable parties I attended were the numerous eyeball events sponsored by my guilds and my [...]

But the server was opened without assurance that the bugs will be fixed and an automated control of bot-infestation will be implemented. Hence, the war against bots rages on in [...]

For those who don’t know, Level Up Games is handling the more popular MMORPGs in the Philippines; to name some, Ragnarok Online, Perfect World, Khan, FlyFF and Pangya. Ragnarok Online is the first ever MMORPG in the Philippines and pinoys ate it up. Until the problems flowed. The third party program invasion, and more recently, [...]

Chixilog - literal and figurative contexts
In Ragnarok online, there’s this category of players we call Chixilogs. Literally, this means that the player driving the female character is a guy in real life. In a negative sense, these chixilogs use feminine wiles to trick their fellow players into doing them some in-game favors. This is [...]

It was late September when the Armada guildmaster and high council asked me to make a tribute about our guild, considering that we’re retiring the guild and all that. They wanted the tribute to come out as soon as possible. I refused to rush. Why? Well, because I had a very good feeling about the [...]
