It’s been around 4-5 years since I played Philippine Ragnarok Online (PRO). I still remember our (mine and my brother’s) primary character, a priest name Leafar. We operated as a lone wolf providing only the cheapest healing services in the dungeons of Prontera. When we played PRO we only had one goal in mind...to make our priest look like some kind of jester. We had everything...swirly glasses, clown nose, etc...ect...EXCEPT...the jester hat. And for around 3-6 months we toiled around the world of Ragnarok trying to find the monster that would drop that specific hat with no such luck. After that frustration, we decided to move on to other games but PRO will always have nice memories for us. We had the PRO Hall of Shame site (with screenshots of the lame tactics people do), we participated in the ‘Happy New Year’ festival where the GMs unleashed all the boss characters in the towns and everyone died, my brother’s friend had some hilarious ‘ chiksilog ’ moments! To clarify, a chiksilog ...

Here are some photos from PINOYXBOX @ Level Up Live 2008 More photos to be added as they are uploaded.... Official Site for Level-Up Live: http://levelupgames.ph/live2008/ This is the venue hall before they let the people in. One thing for certain, the scale of Level-Up Live 2008 is arguably MUCH bigger than the World Cyber Games: Asian Championships in Singapore. Looking at this thing, I have no doubt that the Philippines can throw a kickass gaming convention! This is the PXB area within the Playground Magazine booth. We just have one TV so we had a very simple set-up. Initially we were just going to bring Soulcalibur 4 but then we figured out we need some variety in our line-up so we brought Rockband 2 as well. Once again THANK YOU SO MUCH TO GAMEHOPPER AND BRICO FOR HELPING US WITH THE LCDTV DISPLAYS! THANKS TO WAKKA FROM GAMECORE FOR PROVIDING US WITH A POSTER OF SOULCALIBUR 4! Here's Pinoyxbox members Whyme and Teejay testing Soulcalibur 4. Our very first guests! Dexter,...

Finally got back from Level-Up-Live! Man, there were so many people at Level-Up-Live 2008. I'm very impressed at Level-Up's ability to sustain their business and continue getting gamers to play and enjoy their games. There were far, far more people at Level-Up-Live compared to Anicon. It seems Level Up did a very good job at informing people about the event and getting them to be involved and to participate. The people at the venue seemed genuinely excited to be part of Level Up Live and everyone seemed to be having a great time at the event. I was also impressed at how well-organized and managed Level-Up-Live 2008 was. Despite the fact that there were so many people, they managed to keep things orderly. The environment at Level Up Live was energetic and festive but it never felt chaotic; the organizers did a great job in controlling the flow of people. Overall, I think this event will eventually become very successful for them. By the way, I didn't know that they were als...
