Games Spring Cleaning

Ey Queens loyalists!

We’re currently doing an invetory of our hard drives. Pretty soon, we’ll be deleting some of the games that aren’t being played that often. Also, in this light, we’re pleased to announce that we are going to put in new games. Games that can take advantage of the video card and the power of the machines.

So, do us a favor and tell us what new games, both LAN and online you’d like to see.

Sound off by commenting below, okay? Or you can just let the cashier or Kuya Mands know verbally!

Thanks

Current MMORPG Promos

Heads up, Queens players. Here are some cool promos that you might want to participate it.

If you’re an RF Online player, go and gather your guilds to join the new RF Online Guild Top Up promo. What’s that? Just top up as a group and you can win cool in-game items. Go and check the list here.

Meanwhile, GM Tristan has his Perfect World Billboard contest. All you have to do is guess the actual number of REAL PEOPLE in the billboard and get the chance to win 200 Immortal Stones. It can’t get any easier than that.

Try to enjoy your Holy Week… if you’re not going to the beach, better just stay here at Queens and chat, play and just party with your friends.

RF DDNM Fixed?

One of the most annoying bugs in RF Online is the DDNM or “Data Did Not Match”. Certain bad players do it to get an unfair advantage. Now that there’s a new server for RF – Xenos, it’s a reunion of sorts for long-time-no-see Queens power gamers!

Glad to see that all you guys are back here.

Meanwhile, there are rumors that some players and even shops have a fix for the DDNM. I think I read it somewhere in the RF boards. I wonder how they do it. The GMs say that it’s illegal and is like trying to “hack into the client”. Our question then is: Is it illegal to protect yourself and your friends from cheaters and bug exploiters? Now that’s hard to weigh. The RF GM team have to make a stand on this or get CCR to fix their act – and fast!

A lot of players are losing patience.

RF Online Philippines Opens New Server

Good news to all RF addicts at the shop. Go and call all your former RF playmates, friends and guildmates.

The 10 Commandments of Gaming

Here’s an interesting thing we found on the web recently.

We here at Queens thought we’d share this with you. It’s an article from gamerhelp.com and it lists the 10 commandments of gaming.

Since there are a lot of gamers here at the shop, maybe you should read this and remember.

50 GB Install for A Game? WTF?!?

When we decided to expand, we elected to get 250GB hard drives for the new PCs at the ground floor. This is due to the fact that game installation requirements are getting bigger by the minute. Some online games and even PC games can reach up to 5GB.

But this new game by John Woo – Stranglehold requires a MASSIVE 50 GIG of hard drive space.

Now that’s massive.

I can’t believe there’d be a game like that! Whew!

But let’s not pass judgment just yet. Do check out the screenshot above and you be the judge. The detail is just incredible. I doubt that this game will be in Queens soon… but who knows, di ba?

The Future of Gaming?

Ubisoft has released some its games for free but are supported with in-game advertising. Is this the future of gaming?

Maybe we can all say goodbye to the huge costs of licenses. For a cafe owner, this is good. Also, for the consumer this is also good news. GM Tristan has blogged about how brands are now seeing the values of marketing to gamers. We here at Queens think that cafes should also get involved.

Meanwhile, Tech In Demand has also posted an article about the pros and cons of releasing games for free with advertising.

The details next…

The Cafe Brotherhood

Why do players love to play in an Internet Cafe?

Well, first and foremost, gaming is a SOCIAL hobby. Sure, you can play at home by your lonesome. But it will sure be a LOT MORE FUN when playing in a cafe or Internet game shop, like Queens, of course.

Gaming is fun with the shouting and all that trash-talking. Besides, players can go outside and talk strategies about the games all night. Like with Perfect World and RF Online, which is the most played online games here in our shop – our players simply look forward to the next day so that they can meet their friends for another few hours of leveling up or making their guild stronger.
