Taking a break after Star Wars…

Looks like Intel is taking gaming seriously. During the WCG Asian Championships in Singapore, a total of 250 Intel Core 2 Duo gaming systems was used by the players from Australia, China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, New Zealand, Thailand, Philippines, Vietnam and Singapore.

Game Over! Tetra won 2-1!

Tetra and Me! Not to forget his trusty DOA joystick that was his fighting weapon (the one he’s holding).
P.S: Tetra, thanx …read more

In case you didn’t know, WCG Asian Championships is held at Suntec convention hall 602, Singapore, during these few days and Sunday is the last day. I dropped by on Saturday and went to check out a few game events and babes. Actually there are only pretty ladies from Samsung. Maybe there’s more but Samsung has the biggest booth with the most number of babes and I didn’t check out the other booths.
Anyway, here’s a picture taken with a bubbly Samsung girl. Sharks, I forgot to ask her name and number.

You can check out their latest handphone models, with games …read more
