May 11 on Rock Ed Radio>> GAME ON: (gaming in the Philippines)

Historically, a gamer was someone who played role-playing games or war games, but more recently the term has come to include computer and video game players. Although the term technically includes those who do not necessarily consider themselves gamers (ie, casual gamers), it is a commonly used term to identify persons who spend as much of their leisure time as possible playing or reading about games. *

PLAYGROUND Magazine's Mirra, Karen and JL will talk to us about what they know about gaming and games and gamers. We also got in touch with Phil from Level-Up Games and we will wait for his confirmation. Let's hope they join us, too. (as of May 10 -- Mon Macutay, Marketing Manager of Level Up Games will join us.)

What do you think of Massive Multi-player Online Role-Playing Games? (MMORPG) Games like World of Warcraft, Everquest, Ragnarok...

If you are not a gamer, what do you think of them?

What about console games like Tekken, Halo, Guitar Hero, Final Fantasy, Counterstrike, Command and Conquer, Starcraft, Grand Theft Auto...games from Wii.....Zelda, Mario Kart.. etc.

Which ones do you play? Do you consider yourself a gaming addict?

Kung wala kang alam na NI-ISANG game na nabanggit dito....post ka na rin. We want to know if there are NON-GAMERS in the house.



For two pizzas again, courtesy of Route 196... sino ang gaming addict sa Rock Ed Radio, si Lourd, si Gang, o si Shannen? Lahat? Wala? Dalawa sa kanila?

Post comments and questions here.

Game.

ako semi-gamer ako :D pero isang online game lang talaga yung nilalaro ko (kinaaadikan talaga).. yun yung RAN Online :D

napansin ko lang sa mga online games, yan yung isa sa mga nagiging dahilan kung bakit nagbebreak yung mga mag-bf/gf.. to the point na pinapapili na ng gf kung ano ang mas importante sa kanila (kung game o sila).. shempre sa kaadikan, mas pinipili ang laro. wahahahahhaa

ako nilalaro ko perfectworld kasi may daily quest ka na magagawa m0 in 1 hr.. so kahit di ka maglaro ng matagal maglelevel up pa rin character mo..

dahil sa online games:
1. walang pera (ubos sa e-points(pambili ng items))
2. walang tulog (buong araw nakaupo sa pc naglalaro, nagpapalevel)
3. walang social life (nakababad lang sa bahay o internet shop)
4. pwede rin pampapayat! (walang panahong kumain, nakababad lang sa game) >> CR lang ang pahinga

Sa totoo lang, meron nga bang responsible gaming!?

kanino ba dapat isisi ang paglaganap ng adiksyon ng mga kabataan sa online gaming? Sa mismong bata? sa mga may-ari ng computer shops? sa mga magulang nila? o sa local gov't dahil pinapayagan nila na magkaroon ng mga computershops na malapit sa schools?

magkakaroon kaya ng online game version ng piko, tumbangpreso, langit-lupa, at agawan base?

......

masarap maging gamer... (kasi gamer ako).. pero madaming nawawala sa buhay ng tao ng dahil sa pagbababad sa harap ng computer... tama si Tin.. pwede ka mawalan ng LOVELIFE ng dahil sa pagkaadik sa games!.. nangyari na sakin yun... ouch! hehe

what's the fascination for the ragnarok types of games? what's the PERFECT WORLD game? just another distraction for kids??!! is there a cheaper option? my son is into it and i'm not too happy... about it...... help me!!

Thanks for the link. You got the levelup domain wrong though. It's www.levelupgames.ph

Also I'm not the marketing manager for Ragnarok. The games are "brands" and they have brand managers that report to the Marketing Manager. I'm one of two marketing managers in LU.

Thanks.

Mon Macutay: Thanks for the correction.

hindi ba nabubura ng computer gaming ang traditional games nating mga pilipino? kasi, kahit saan ka tumingin, madaming batang mas trip mag-computer kesa, halimbawa, mag-sipa.

What is NOOB? The more precise meaning of it in gaming?

Hi I'm Marveen. Is online scamming a crime? Is a bug a good thing?

Anonymous said...

May mga tao pong di lang 6-8 hours naglalaro...Marami po ko kilala 24/7...Nagpapalit lang sila ng pilot.

Ano masasabi ng guests nyo na nakakasira ang mga online gaming sa social at intrapersonal skills ng bata? Kasi imbis na maglaro ang bata sa labas RAN na lang...

Bakit pinayagan ng level-up ang botting sa ragnarok online nung tumagal gayong bawal ito nung una?

Anonymous said...

Pag naglalaro ako noon, kulang na lang lunurin ako ng mga nakakausap ko sa mura. Tas andami talagang scammers. Uso din ang overpricers. Pero masaya sumagot. hehe

Hindi ba na-o-overshadow ng computer gaming ang traditional games nating mga pilipino? Kasi, lahat na lang ata ng bata gaming na lang ginagawa.
