eRepublik

Hey guys, you probably noticed the eRepublik ads at the upper right corner in this blog and guess what you might be wondering "what's that?". Haha, now here's the explanation.

eRepublik is an online social strategy game where you can play straight at your browser. In this game you can choose to become a politician, a soldier, business tycoon owner and a writer. Theres a lot of real life country in this game including Malaysia, USA and other countries that you might not even know about.

This game started two years ago founded by Alexis Bonte and George Lemnaru. eRepublik combines both Social Networking and Strategy into a single online game where players can participate in a variety of activities. Citizens of the eRepublik world can own businesses, form political parties, vote in elections, write newspaper articles, and even go to war as citizens of virtual versions of real life countries. 




In this game, your words count. And if you're not good at writing and using the forum, you need to practice first. But if you are good enough, you could be a president of a country, a general of an army, business lords or even a god!

Upon joining this game, a citizen (thats you) choose a virtual country to live. Each of these countries were named after a real life country located at the same location on the world map.


Now, they have 234911 players or citizen in this game and with  60 real life countries in the game. But one of the best thing in the game is the minimum time needed to play daily : 14 Minutes.

Erepublik has taken €200,000 in angel funding to date and is in the process of closing a further €550,000 round. Management includes CEO Alexis Bonte from lastminute.com and CTO George Lemnaru from Tevin Solutions. 


This game might not be a no-no for gritty hardcore player . But it targets to the facebook/myspace user who prefers gaming in social media.


It would seem epic when this game grows at a hundred player registered at a day!

Anwar And Izzat

Wassup guys! How ya doing? All right, this week I gonna write something a little bit bout my classmates ; Anwar and Izzat. Lets start with the Anwar guy:

Remember the Anwar that I wrote about him in my past post? Yeah thats him. And his back. But its a neutral story about him this time. OK what I liked about him the most is his cool attitude. Try to hit him or do anything that could piss you off, he will just stay cool. But sometimes too cool. Another good attitude I found about this lad is that he's a forgiving and an easy to forgivable guy.

He's a great jock for me. He's a role model and the star player for our soccer team. He's too great at this sports until he hurt himself. Lol!

And now for the cons. He's bugger at times and he's not the one you should o share your feelings with. He keeps on making his "langsi" (bugger) face at times you talking with him.

And now for Izzat.:

A nice good guy to talk with but can be pretty harsh to talk with. One thing I respect about him is, that he know his level. He knew his his limits and ups and down. Also a good guy who could help out financially.

And his "not too good ones". He sometimes a snob at a times, even if he knew his level. And his patience, He's easily pissed off. And that's the only "level" I did not see. He a discriminator. Why? Cause he would just ignore the one he hates (like me). For example, when going for a movie with the other he just ignore about the one he hates. And not just that, he even insults the guys he hates when someone asked him to bring them along.

And thats for all guys! In the next post, I'm going to write about myself this time!

The Unnamed Feeling

"First off all, this post totally about my feelings. And I would like to remind this post contains hateful and a lot of swearing. So please, read it or not."

I read a blog that my friends made, the first two post are pretty neutral until this one this one. Lemme translate it to you what its all about in plain English:

"That syam guy (me) just know one thing : Fight. I think his brain are not OK coz he loves to throw plain flattery! Today, he was beaten by Syed because of his own foul mouth. First, Syam place a stick to Ashiq (Syeds younger bro) neck and he said pukimak (motherfuck) and Syam thought he said pukimak kau (motherfucker). And what else, Syam replied back by saying about his mom and dad, and Syed got blown up. He punched Syam once (Oh really!) and he Syam fought back. NO one mess with the bastard, and so, Syam was beaten badly. That Syam guy was just showing off and he cried at last. Then, the son of our teacher, Adib support him and report to the teacher. We, the Malay guys have a lot of cases because of Adib. But I still remember in the Kuala Lumpur Curriculum Center. While in the shower, we pulled Syams pants while he's off. Hahaha! Lucky Adib's not there. If not he would just report us to Mr. Amri (our discipline teacher). But whats for sure is that Syam has a mental problem because...( I wont write this part). I don't understand whats wrong with Syam. Syam bad mood is about Anwar ( I tell about this under here). I'm not interested in telling it to you guys. Cause I'll afraid it would be sinful."

OK here's my story;

I went to school like everyday. Meet my friends, my teacher and disturb the cafeteria guy. Until I met Anwar. Why? Because he's not satisfied that my dad did not gave him some gift money when he's at my place. He keeps on oiling me. And the worst thing, he didn't wanna hear my explanation! This shit carried on until recess time. And of course, he still not stopping. He didn't want to accept my gift money at school. Cause he said: "Take your money Syam, and bring it together in your grave". If you're in my place, what does it feel?

And that's beyond my coolness limit. And I yelled at him that day "would you fucking stop it!?". And that attracted a lot of attraction. And that brought Ashiq to his side. He didn't know a shit and he yelled at me even more than Anwar! And that where the fight begin. He swear a lot to me. So, as my "Shut em' Up" move, a took a broomstick, place it at his neck and ask him to shut the fuck up. He shut up for a few second, and I heard pukimak ko (motherfucker) at me and its Ashiq. He said bout my mom, so thats a sign that mean I can too. So, I did the same to him. But, he has a backup, his brother, he heard it as well. Then, what I knew that someone is charging at me. That made the real fight.

And the fight started. This time, I promised to myself, big guy or not, he's dead. But it turn out I failed. And short after my defeat, I cried. I cried because I realized that I was an asshole like him right now. Then someone comfort me. And that's Adib. He told me to report it to the teacher, but, no. I wouldn't.

And here is my explanation to them:

1: That syam guy (me) just know one thing : Fight.

Have you ever see me really fighting?

2:  I think his brain are not OK coz he loves to throw plain flattery!

Then why would I go to school eh?

3: and he said pukimak (motherfuck) and Syam thought he said pukimak kau (motherfucker)

I swear I heard he said my mom.

4: He punched Syam once.

HAHAHAHAHA!!! Oh seriously? Its about ten time you know!

5:  he cried at last.

Yeah I found out I'm an asshole like you.

6: Adib support him and report to the teacher

But did I?

7:  We, the Malay guys have a lot of cases because of Adib.

Who told you to do those cases? You guys did it on purpose right?

8: But whats for sure is that Syam has a mental problem because...

What the fuck I'm doing at the school!?

9: Cause I'll afraid it would be sinful

Oh! I thought you guys don't even care about heaven and hell.

PEACE SELLS, BUT WHO'S BUYING?

SHAME ON YOU, AIZUDDIN

9 Facebook Games Worth Playing

Question: what gaming platform has a userbase that rivals the entire current generation of consoles? If you answered Facebook, well, you're partly right. It may not have been originally designed for games, but the social networking platform has steadily built up a library of titles that are sure to distract you when you should really be getting some work done. The problem is, the games section is filled with so much crap that it can be tough to find a good game amongst the Pac-Man clones and terrible mafia simulators. Here are a few of our favorites to get you started.

Restaurant City

A restaurant-management sim, Restaurant City lets you build up a dining establishment from scratch, controlling everything from how it looks to what food it serves. You “hire” characters based on your own Facebook friends to handle the day-to-day operations, letting them do everything from cooking to waiting on tables to cleaning the toilets. Like any true manager, you don't have actually get involved in any of the dirty work, and the restaurant actually keeps going even when you're not playing. This means that you'll earn money while away from the game. But if you stay away for too long, chances are you'll come back to a filthy, customer-free restaurant complete with employees passed out on the floor.

FarmVille

If you're more of a rural sort, Zynga's FarmVille lets you get down in the dirt by creating and maintaining your very own farm. After creating your big-headed avatar, you can get straight to setting up your own plot of land, planting seeds and tending to livestock. The game makes great use of Facebook’s social-network capabilities, as you can earn money by helping out on a friend's farm and pick up new crops by trading or gifting with pals. The only drawback is that things progress very slowly, because some crops take days to grow. But for a few-minutes-per-day distraction, FarmVille's perfect.

Country Story

For a more hands-on approach to agriculture, you may want to give Country Story a shot. Instead of simply planting seeds and biding your time until they grow, this game actually forces you to get your hands in the virtual dirt, tilling the fields and watering crops. The game also constantly throws new objectives at you through its quest system, which has you doing everything from growing a specified number of a certain crop to stealing crops from your friend's farms. It's also perfect for fans of terrible farm-based puns, with such gems as "Make Me Plowed" and "The Great Grain Robbery."

Scramble

You may not know it, but Boggle is actually pretty awesome. The word game gives you a grid of letters, and tasks you with creating as many words as you can within an allotted time period. Scramble on Facebook is a great digital rendition of the classic game, and while it's lacking in frills, there's plenty to keep word nerds happy. You can play solo or against friends and/or strangers, and the online leaderboard ensures everyone you know knows about your prowess with the English language. Best of all, since the computer is in charge, there will be no debates as to whether or not “quone” is actually a word. (Hint: it isn't.)

Crazy Planets

While the majority of games on Facebook tend to be of the puzzle, simulation, or time-management variety, Crazy Planets is actually a simplified version of a turn-based strategy game. Each mission has you travelling to a different planet, where you have to use a variety of weapons to eliminate the pesky robots that have taken over. The environmental obstacles help give Crazy Planets a puzzle-game feel, while upgradeable weapons and additional units give it a role-playing twist.

Tower Bloxx

This puzzle game is short on flash, but has a deceptively addictive premise that can turn a five-minute distraction into a few hours well wasted. The goal is simple: drop blocks to make a tower that's as straight as possible. But because the blocks are attached to a swinging rope, it takes careful timing to get the pieces to fall where you want, which makes pulling off long combos all the more satisfying. It's a little light on Facebook integration, but still a good time waster.

Bejeweled Blitz

The ubiquitous “match three” goodness of Bejeweled is perfect in quick doses, and that's exactly what this Facebook rendition gives you. With a one-minute time limit, the game feels almost like a demo, but 60-second games are actually a great fit for the platform. Instead of spending minutes or hours trying to reach a certain score, you instead get an intense burst of play in which to try and rack up as many points as possible. This intensity is, of course, increased by the ability to compare scores with any friends who might be playing.

Pixel Ranger

Buried deep down on the list of popular games, you'll find this little gem, starring a pixelated cowboy with an itchy trigger finger and a large shotgun. Pixel Ranger plays like a shooting gallery, as you move the tiny ranger around the screen, blowing away everything that moves. The key is to manage your ammo, which drops from fallen enemies, since running out of bullets means game over. As things progress, more obstacles are thrown in your way, including faster and harder-to-kill enemies and even moving platforms, which can make collecting ammo an exercise in frustration.

Tetris Friends

Of course, Facebook wouldn't be a gaming platform if it didn't have some form of Tetris on it. The official Facebook version features five different game modes, as well as the expected ability to challenge friends and compare scores via online leaderboards. It doesn't bring anything new to the table, but Tetris is always a welcome distraction, and this is a great version.
