The first thing that went in my mind is that, “What the heck is Worlds.com?” Sure they did pioneer the MMO and got the patent approved but seriously they should go after the big fish like World of Warcraft. Sounds like a desperate attempt to get extra cash. They got the nerve to file it on Christmas Eve. If ever the Worlds.com succeeds in suing NCSOFT, I bet they’ll go after every foreign owned MMORPG companies. As much as I want to fling generous amount of expletives towards greedy bitches at Worlds.com, I rather not waste my energy to those morons.

EDIT: OK THE FUN IS OVER, ABS CBN FINALLY WUSSES OUT, RETREATS AND SET THE LINK TO THE NEWS TO PRIVATE. THEY ISSUED STATEMENT THAT THE REMAKE’S A RUMOR, WHO ARE THEY FOOLING. NOW THIS LEAVES US ALL IN LIMBO.

After all the hoopla they created and wussed out and acted as if they didn’t know anything about Twilight. Although there’s a fair chance we wouldn’t be seeing Takipsilim on ABS CBN, it will somehow makes it’s appearance in TV5, the same way the gossip girl remake ended up as lipgloss in TV5. Now all twilight fans can take the sigh of relief, Robbie Patt is still the only formidable Edward. I’m really gonna miss all you guys *sniff*. I’ve having a blast approving your comments. You guys are the BEST!! Time to wear the Filipino badge proudly and don’t lose it just because of ABS CBN, after all they’re bunch of junkies on crack and incompetent idiots who waste their money on cocaine addled parasites. 

Here’s the proof that ABS CBN DID made a press release on twilight remake Click Here

—–

I never expected that a local station in the Philippines would actually secure the rights of Stephanie Meyer’s “Twilight” Saga. ABS-CBN reportedly paid $1 million to secure the rights for the television series. The tentative title of the series is “Takipsilim”, a literal tagalog translation of “Twilight”. Although the cast hasn’t been confirmed yet, Shaina Magdayao is set to play the role of Isabella Swan and Rayver Cruz will tackle the role of Edward Cullen. The other casts set to play their respective roles are;

Valeen Montenegro as Alice Cullen
Gabby Concepcion as Dr. Carlisle Cullen
Luis Manzano as Emmett Cullen
Al Tantay as Charlie Swan
Yayo Aguila as Renee Dwyer
Fred Payawan as Jacob Black
Carlos Agassi as James
Chin Chin Gutierrez as Esme Cullen
Karylle as Rosalie Hale
Joross Gamboa as Jasper Hale
Jessy Mendiola as Jessica Stanley
Empress Schuck as Angela Weber
Brad Murdoch as Laurent
Nikki Bacolod as Victoria
Aaron Villaflor as Mike Newton

Unfortunately this news isn’t so well received by everyone in the Philippines. It’s a riot hanging out in the local forums where majority of the posters are furious and foaming in their mouths. In my opinion I think there’s a misplaced anger and shame. It’s no big deal if the Twilight tv series will look shoddy and lame. To Filipinos who are ashamed to be Filipinos just because of a silly re-make, isn’t that pathetic? Have you heard of Americans ashamed of being Americans just because of a cheesy Hollywood film? I mean what the hell!? So if Manny Pacquiao wins another boxing match or another Filipino makes it big time in Hollywood, those that disowns their country will quickly wear their Filipino pride badge. Posting in other blogs about being ashamed to be Filipino won’t help, why don’t you burn your Filipino passports, birth certificates and just be an alien from no man’s land.

Edit: My statement above may be a bit offensive to some, but I’m expressing my sentiments over the comments like these and several other blogs.

Foreigners will not look down on the country just because of a cheesy and lame adaptation of a popular series. Even if some did, well it doesn’t really matter since they’re not feeding you or sending you money. Please by all means, just flame the TV station, flame the TV executives and just leave out the unpatriotic remarks.

It’s not an embarrassment for the whole country since ABS CBN DOES NOT represent the country. It’s just a TV station and nothing more. Let the TV station suffer the shame and humiliation it so deserves. The station has already paid for the rights and taking big risk in the process. Let’s all be a sport and have a great laugh at it. Let’s just say the ABS CBN succeeds in getting the much needed attention they so badly wanted.

Here’s bunch of Hilarious Takipsilim “meme” I found at the pinoy exchange forum.

Cabal Online unleashes it’s latest Lord of War patch. Finally Cabal gameplay gets even more convenient and exciting. I’m looking forward to the Cabal Online Philippines Lord of War patch. The main problem usually in Nation and Mission war is that anyone can shout out the commands, it gets confusing when the command is overlooked when bunch of idiots shouts out profane and rubbish comments. Eventually bickering between players result to losing battle. Eventually, I had to keep away from mission war channel since I keep losing Alz due to losing battles.

This entry is a quick overview of the patch.

I. Lord of War Features:
Top players every week gets a title of Guardian or Bringer according to their scores and number of kills. Along with the Title, there’s also additional stats benefits.

Guardian - HP Up 500, Resist stun, knock back, down, unmovable =60%
Bringer - HP Up 500, Resist Crit rate, crit damage= 60%, Sword amp 10%, Magic Amp 10%, Critical Rate 10%

Character effects:

While the Storm and Luminosity bringers looks pimpin with their special aura, unfortunately both their Names and Guild are visible to the enemies. Damn! where are the privacy?

Luminosity Bringer Capella and Stormbringer Procyon

Broadcasting:
The Guardians and the Bringers can broadcast the commands which shows in the middle of the screen. No need to read the rubbish shout outs at the chat window. They can also entrust the broadcast command to their trusted ally.

II. Mission War Updates:
More Mission war features were added since the core of the game is the war itself. Remote shop is available so dying is not an option when you ran out of potions. Vital gear has no cool time, it’s really a bummer if your enemies keep regenerating fast because of it. Pets can also gain experience. Battle mode cool down has been extended from 30 sec to 5 minutes. Auto and Fast targetting system has been implemented.

III. Patch Updates:

Auction House: You can sell your valuables online and OFFLINE. Even Event Items can be sold on the Event Category. You can even buy items and trade offline. This is one of the features I’m excited about. No need to go on vend mode.

Improved Game Security: You can login using the in-game keyboard to prevent keyloggers from stealing your account.

Party Search Function: Sometimes it’s really lonely to grind alone, good thing there’s party search so you can join other parties. It’s pretty much fair game since if you don’t contribute any damage to monsters, you get no experience.

Item Recovery from NPC: Grinding at 2am can get the best of you. Memory lapse can be a bummer when you accidentally sold the two slot items to the NPC. Good thing you can retrieve it with this cool feature.

Holiday specials on Cabal Item where items are available for a limited time only. It would be nice to spend some dough on Santa Sleigh but I find it way too expensive for my budget, maybe next year.

Holiday Events:

Festival of Coins: Collect 50 silver coins and 100 gold coins and have it exchanged with Henkoff NPC in Bloody Ice. Like Chaos lamp, you get random items such as RW3 bike, Santa epaulets and other junk if you get unlucky. Too bad this event is already over.

Hunt for Bad Santa:
This Santa’s been very naughty that you have to kill him to get cool in-game items. I haven’t had the chance to kill him though since I spend most of my time either vending or punching the training dummy.

Christmas Socks collection:
Collect 5 normal socks and have it crafted to either Shiny Blue socks and Santa’s Red socks. The Special socks contains cool items such as Bike, Board, slot extender, epaulets and more.

A 15-year old swedish teen gathered with his friends to play the latest installment of World of Warcraft, “Wrath of the Lich King” on a Saturday night. 20 hours later, the teen suffered a convulsion at around 2 pm. He was rushed to a nearby hospital. The teen’s condition was stabilized and on the way to full recovery. The cause of his convulsion were sleep deprivation, lack of food and continuous playing.

The boy’s father mentioned that the teen spent most of his time playing the game and doesn’t eat much. The Wrath of Lich King isn’t over yet when the Game Over treatment center in Linkoping got flooded by calls of the parents due to the “Wrath of the Lich King” World of Warcraft installment.
