On the VGAs this 2011

Skyrim deserved to win. I own a PS3 but I don't have the PS3 version of the game. I read the PS3 version is very buggy (almost unplayable) but despite that, I still think it deserves to win. The game itself is quite an achievement; literally an RPG that almost nearly never ends...

Now, on the comments that the show is immature....well, have you ever tried reading a gaming forum, or gamer comments online, or listened to gamers when playing against them on Live or PSN or elsewhere? Well, gamers are really immature; most of them. Maybe I'd include myself in that lot but it's probably really the nature of the hobby. So until that changes, well, there's always going to be in-jokes about teabagging, and it will never end. If you want a more mature hobby...take up painting or playing an instrument. Gaming is, for most people, really for the lulz, and it isn't going to change anytime soon. The subject matter itself of gaming is entertainment, and it can be pretty depraved or worse. If you've been gaming for years you'll see it in everything. It's just the way the hobby is. So just learn to live with it and enjoy it in a lighter mood, instead of taking it seriously and hoping scientists and thinkers will give us the time of day.

Or, avoid online communities altogether, and just play, for the love of the game.

Gamers based in the Philippines: How to get in Xbox Live

NOTE: This article has recently been updated (as of August 12, 2006). Singapore no longer lets you input '00000' as your zip code. Please see below for alternate zip codes. So you're a Filipino living in the Philippines with a brand-spanking new Xbox 360. You've heard about all the wonderful stories on Xbox Live. You happen to have a pretty good broadband connection. One day, you try out the Xbox Live sign-up options on your 360, and you find out to your dismay that your country is NOT listed. What do you do? Now, you can probably enjoy your 360 without live at all, but I have to tell you: YOU ARE MISSING OUT. As Peter Moore said in the recent MS Press Conference: "Having your 360 connected to Xbox Live is as vital as having your computer connected to the Internet". He is so damned right. I've been playing on Xbox Live for almost a year now (both on my original Xbox and the Xbox 360). Essentially I found out all of this with a little bit of research, a lit...

Lost Odyssey Theme Song - "What You Are" by Sheena Easton

I've uploaded the theme song for Lost Odyssey in YouTube. Check out the video below: At first, I wasn't so into the song but when I heard it in full it grows on you. The song is actually quite beautiful. It was sung by Sheena Easton. With the lyrics from Hironobu Sakaguchi and the composition by Nobuo Uematsu. Very moving song, specially once you understand the lyrics. Below are the lyrics for the song "What You Are" by Sheena Easton When you touch me It feels just like a dream With the warmth that's in your eyes When you look at me I hear your voice beside me It whispers to me I can't hide how it makes me feel The shyness you see I may never Understand how deep it goes But I know how I feel What I hold deep in my heart There's just no way to stop this It's hopeless but true I feel this love More than anything So what more can I do You know I thought I would be much stronger than I am But then I feel the boldness that's inside my heart Just melt aw...

Soulcalibur IV CPU AI in Versus Mode...

...is quite fun to play against. Set it to 'VERY HARD' difficulty and you've got a virtual sparring partner to play against if no local players are online to play against. The difficulty levels in VERSUS MODE for the AI are Easy, Normal, Hard, Very Hard, and Edge Master. "Very Hard" difficulty puts up a good fight, though since it is a CPU opponent it won't pull any surprises or weird tricks that human players usually do. I haven't gotten around to playing against 'Edge Master' difficulty but that's a personal decision because I don't want to get too stressed out playing the game. Practicing in VERSUS MODE against the AI is a great way to test out your own tricks and figure out some new ways to play. Of course, the best test of your own skills in Soulcalibur IV is to play against a human opponent, but when you can't find one (whether online or off), VERSUS MODE against AI is a nice alternative. To play against AI, choose 'VERSUS MOD...
