Certified Realm of Empires Addict

2008-12-09T04:16:00.000-08:00

For the past months that I have been playing Realm of Empires I have come to realize that this is really the game for me. I am a very busy person and so finding time to play is quite unimaginable.

I do know several people who are so addicted to online games that they just end up awake in a day or two. And so I told them to get a life and go find another way to spend more productive day for themselves.

I have to admit that with my very busy schedule I hard can find time to spend even 10-15 minutes in front of the computer playing any games at all. Until I was introduced to this intriguing Facebook application called Realm of Empires.

I just first took a little tour of the game overview one day then I just came to notice myself that I was already playing it and not only playing but rather seriously getting addicted to it. I never realized that I could just get drawn to this type of game which at first was such a great puzzle for me figure out the mechanics.

And now that I have found myself so into this game I already understand how the online gamers addict feel because I'm like one of them now.

Realm of Empires is a very different game from the other games I have played way back. It is not a demanding game that you have to spend your whole time of the day thinking and draining your brain to figure out what should be the next strategy or who will attack you any minute. Realm of Empires is so concern about the time that you do not actually have to worry if you will be attacked by anyone because it takes much time for your attacker to reach your village. You will be notified of an incoming attack so you can get yourself ready for whatever happens in the next few hours.

I am only spending roughly 15 minutes playing the game and everything is so much fun as I see the great improvement in my village. It is also best to choose the right clan for you because your clan mates will be your great support group.

The most fun and exciting part of Realm of Empires is finding yourself the right opportunity to attack or takeover a certain village for this will signify your power in your empire.

Realm of Empires is such a friendly game which makes me more and more excited each day on taking a glimpse of my village and continue with my work in a quarter of an hour.

Upgraded Buildings in Realm of Empires

2008-11-30T00:59:00.000-08:00

As I am playing Realm of Empires now, some of my buildings are already in their maximum level. I was able to recruit 2 governors in for my village and some knights, infantry, spies, and citizen militia all for over 300.

I think I already have strong foundation to battle with other villages because my resources are so abundant; thanks to my ever supportive clan mates. The good thing here is that I am getting more and more into Realm of Empires and can't really wait to try on taking over some villages.

I've had my first misunderstood attack which I thought was so dangerous for my village. I got so panicked and literally disturbed my clan mates to seek help by posting in all threads available in the forum lol. It was only then that I found out that the attack that I was so scared of was just a spy attack lol.

I really thought that I would be attacked just like the previous experience I had where I was left with nothing but first level of buildings again. phew!

Now I am slowly learning a lot about the Realm of Empires through my kind hearted clan mates I guess I will get by this game with so much excitement and fun. One thing I've learned about here though is to not really upgrade the buildings to its maximum level but to be more concerned of the activities of your troops.

In the Realm of Empires, you cannot actually earn more points by just upgrading your buildings but rather get your troops busy. Try to help out other members by sending out troops and all. Give them some exercise by sending out your spies to sneak into some of the villages to find out the status of the village you want to take over.

It's also good thing that the village is being supported by lots of infantry to protect the outside of your village. You don't actually have to hurry recruiting more infantry because you have your generous clan mates who are willing to offer help and send out even thousands of infantry for you for a time being.

What's best about upgrading your buildings in Realm of Empires, well at least for me, is that you will get to see how your building is progressing and it will not look so intimidated by the other villages within your vicinity. It just feels good to see that in time you will be able to see how big your village has become and it will even be greater to take over other villages for your expansion.

Rare Home and Garden for Auction

2008-11-25T03:38:00.000-08:00

Whenever I visit someone's home for the first time, I just can't help but look around and observe the decorations and appliances that home has. I usually look at the house interiors and arrangement. And before I could enter that house I would probably see the exterior first which is the garden.

Then I usually ask the home owner where she bought the beautiful home and garden appliances she has. They say that it's much cheaper to buy in the malls of department stores or even in the factory. But I think for the very busy people - which make it the majority of the buyers of these items - they would rather prefer buying on a special sale such as in some auction gallery or the most accessible nowadays is through the internet.

Rare home and garden appliances can easily be found on the internet by just simply typing any keywords related to that site like home and garden auction or home and garden bid. There are also some sites which specifically sell rare collectible items for the buyers who like to collect rare items.

Usually those rare items are being sold in the net for bid and it is a very common thing there. You may have variety of items to choose from. And if you want to put some lovely decorations and displays for your home, there are several sites that offer that kind of market.

There are some useful decorations such as jars or cup holder for your outdoor picnic and even nice and cute items for your lovely pets. You do not even have to worry about the prices because they are very affordable that you can't even imagine how cheap they are. So try to visit some sites now and see how these items will fit perfectly for your home and garden.

A definite added fun and excitement that's making all the gamers crave for more. Playing the Old Realm of Empires will never be complete without joining the New Realm of Empires. It's just like you are not part of the whole thing if you only have your full efforts exerted in the old ROE.

Some gamers complain about how slow the New Realm of Empires because it was like the speed is half the speed of the old game; which makes the gamers sometimes a little frustrated but hey, that's the most exciting part of that game. The longer it takes for you to wait for the progress, the longer it takes for you as well to think of better strategies to win over the enemies.

The good thing about this game is that you don't need to play the game for a long time. This will only eat up probably 10-15 minutes of your time everyday because once you set your strategy; it's already set to work on their own until you come back the next day or two. You don't need to worry about being attacked by an enemy if you are a member of an active clan because for sure they will serve as your great protector against your enemies during your absence.

That's the good thing about this game; you are not playing alone. You will have to enjoy the game in an effort of the whole team. But you also have to be careful in choosing a clan to join because there are also clan members that attack you and eat up your village behind your back. There are also some clans that do not even care for you. It's just like you are part of the clan but you seem to not exist in their group.

It is always very easy to leave the clan if they are not worth it. Find the best and most active clan then you can send a message to any of the members to request for an invitation to their clan and for sure that clan will welcome you wholeheartedly. They will all offer their help and they will guide you through the game and help you upgrade your level by sending out countless silver that you can imagine.

So if you plan to play this game, make sure that you are in the right clan; clan that will treat you like a family and not treat you as an outsider. You can ask me for a request if you like :)

Vinyls for My Mom

2008-10-08T06:59:00.000-07:00

Let's face it! In this new age of internet and hi-tech gadgets we will still find our folks enjoying every bit of their age by still holding on to their old ways. Just like my mom.

Everyday still seems like 1960's or 70's in our house especially during Sundays. She loves listening to her generation or music. I do not blame her for in my case I really appreciate the 80's and 90's hits compared to the present genre for we all have our time and precious moments to reminisce with the songs we learn to grow up with.

My mom would always buy CDs and DVDs only to watch and listening to her favorite band singers and singers groove to their own beat. But sometimes she still prefers listening to the classic songs on her turntable. And so I am planning of giving her a present and thinking of buying her Bee Gees vinyl collections so she will again get back to her past with such a lovely vinyl quality music.

It's fascinating to see the tremendous outflow of new gadgets these days. There have been brilliant and creative ideas splurging like hell. And a lot of techie people go crazy over which gadgets they're going to buy.

I for one is a fan of so many tempting and cool gadgets that have been spreading inside the store or department stores. You don't even have to go out. Just check on the internet and choose your own gadgets and click the "buy" or "add to cart" button and credit card number and wallahh!! you got your own cutey new gadgets. That's how fast the change of trend these days is.

And now I got to see this cool water resistant AM/FM tuning that you can actually install inside your shower or near you tub so you won't have to worry how long are you going to stay in that doing nothing but reading your fancy novel books or playing with your PSP....

You now have something inside your bathroom to enjoy groovin' in your tub while listening to your favorite music. Isn't that cool?

Learning to love sports...

2008-09-22T03:42:00.000-07:00

I got no time for sports but I have lots of time for my computer. Internet browsing and surfing and of course watching numerous videos and reading controversial articles and issues around the globe; that's how I spend my day for my leisure time.

I always make it a point to get informed and updated for whatever latest issues wherever could that be. It was just in the late 90's when I first discovered what the internet could do to me. I thought then that it was only intended for emails and articles about certain issues and topics in every corner of the earth. I never realized that it could grow as widely as it could be. Thus it was called "www" as in World Wide Web as written in every domain names of every website.

It's like going beyond your means. It is the best way to spend time with yourself or even with your families and friends and learn more things at a single click. I do love watching videos. I can like watch whole day without feeling tired of it. Especially if they are the most things that interest me.

I love sports but I don't do sports. I get tired easily and feel uncomfortable with the sweating thing. And so I just compensate loving sports by just merely watching videos on the internet. The most visited site when you say "watching videos" is undoubtedly "youtube". There is no debate about that.

But for the sports fanatics just like me, there is one website that caters to this need. It's a compilation of sports videos from all walks of life. There you can find every kind of sports that you can imagine. If your interest is all about polo, you can just click on the category and you will see various videos about polo. Do you like cricket?bowling?basketball?volleyball?billiards? oh name it and surely this website has them all. You can even get some bloopers and tips coming from the expert. That's how vast this video sports website can offer. That is the reason why I can play the sports I like even if I am just here in front of my computer.

The inevitable change

2008-09-14T23:21:00.001-07:00

Who would have ever thought that in just a click away a person’s perspective in life could suddenly turn 180 degrees through a world wide web?

We were just once book dependents until the internet came. I, myself, was just fond of listening to the radio and spending more hours reading and watching tv for my hunger of know-how. But with the sudden boost of technology….bang! the the idea of the impossible is now very visible.

A lot of people look at internet buffs as people with no life. I definitely disagree with them for people spending so much time on the internet have much more opportunities to make money; only if they know how to. I was just an addict chatter and forum poster before and never really wanted to do blogs for I don’t like people to read what’s on my mind. I don’t want them to know what I want to say. But a sudden turn of events came when I bumped into a website saying “internet is where the money is”.

I tried to find out how and what could be the possible ways to earn from here and wallaaahh!! I think I am slowly understanding how this could also work for me.

I am still in my infant years when it comes to this kind of biz but I know that someday I could also be one of the internet’s best assets and a money-maker in this fast paced industry. Yes, it is a fast paced industry and I don’t want to be left out in the middle of nowhere. It is a game of life where one has to be always on the go; an inevitable change that I should learn to accept.
