Yeah, Don loves games a-lot.

So much that he can be considered a computer-geek. (And maybe semi-nerd)


"Ask all my friends, they can vouch!"

You see ar, when you talk to Don about games, the first thing that goes through his mind is COMPUTER GAMES.

BUDDEN HE CAN ALSO PLAY BORED BOARD GAMES TOO!


Pro, boh? Liddat sure Scrabble Championships liao, lah!

.
.
.

See? Don's really a maniac when it comes to games.

.
.
.

Huh, what games do I usually play?

Good question.

Here are a few good games that Don plays:-

- - -

RAGNAROK ONLINE


"I am Don, the Don."

Ragnarok Online has always been Donovan's favourite game.
It's all chibi-styles.
It has anime.
It's ultra-cute.

"But then I must pay money to play, right!"

... PRIVATE SERVER, LAH!

"Oh."

- - -

But Don also likes musical games.

Drum-mania would be one of them, but it's not cheap to play it in the arcades all the time.

So he opts for...

O2JAM


"Uhhh, where's the C chord again?"

o2jam REMIXES classical music!
Think Beat-Mania, keyboard mode.
FREE, SOMEMORE.

- - -

Now I know most of you will be wondering...

... "YOU GOT PLAY MAPLE OR NOT?"

Yea, once.

MAPLESTORY


"I am a cleric, lor! Duwan heal you! =3"

Don used to play Maple, and he was a level 50+ Cleric.

At that time, he could tank HORNY MUSHROOMS (giggle).

But then Asiasoft were harassed by the HORNY MUSHROOMS, so they became angry, and made sure that Maple Global would split so that MapleSEA would host only the... duhh. South-East-Asians.

Our accounts?

Most of them wipe, lor.

*random vulgarity*

So the next person who asks me if I play Maple, I will personally kick you, you Aquila, with my Bootes.
.
.

TRENDS GAMERS FOLLOW

A note-worthy trend would be people using REAL LIFE money to buy ONLINE money.
These online money would go to their account, which would then:-

1) Give them an advantage over those who didn't fork out any money.
2) Make themselves look better... ONLINE.

Hello people, you're paying for pixels?

Oei, you think money drop from the sky, ar?


Actually, money drops from large fishes.
The blue ones will drop diamonds!

.
.
.

Have you ever met a n00b?

A common misconception would be that "n00bs" are a slang for "newbies".
No, it isn't.

"N00bs" are termed and directly used on a person with little or no experience in the game, whilst presenting him/herself in a shady manner.


Don't be a dumbass.
Nothing good ever happens to them.

They usually misspell, and/or insult fellow gamers. Also, they have a weird fetish for saying 'plz' instead of 'please'.

"cn i hav (insert misspelled game currency) plz?"

"u suk lol"

"i wan itam"

- - -

Side rant:-

WHY CAN'T ANY OF YOU NOOBS EVER SAY PLEASE?
IT'S ONLY 6 LETTERS LONG!
WHEN YOU WANT A HEAL/BUFF, JUST TYPE THE MAGIC WORD.
P-L-E-A-S-E.

IT WILL P-L-E-A-S-E US. AND ALSO THE GAWDS ABOVE!


"Yeah!"

"May I have a heal/buff please?" ALWAYS sound better than "heal plz".

- - -

The best way to react to a situation when facing a persistant, irritating n00b is to ask them to...


STFU.
(Most of you guys already know what this means, doncha?)

.
.
.

Or... You could always try strangling them n00bies.


Psychic strangling will seriously pWn.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

You play the game because?

Better hand-eye coordination,

A good way to de-stress,
Definitely a great way to meet people.

After all, what are games without friends?

.
.
.

But if computer games aren't really your thing...

... Then you don't know what you're missing out on.


The Twelve Apostles, by Don.

Because that hand-eye coordination thing really helps.
