My 100th Hub Published at HubPages - A Videogame Primer!

The blog title says it all: I have officially published my 100th hub over at HubPages.com. In a nutshell, it talks a bit about the roleplaying and strategy genres of videogames for the benefit of those people who don't play games on a regular basis. It then goes on to give examples of easy games within each genre I wholeheartedly recommend to new players.

In other news, I recently acquired a copy of Final Fantasy 3 for the Nintendo DS. It encompasses everything I used to love and hate about classic RPGs, from the random encounters, to the awesome story, to the lack of save points, to the insane bosses, to the addictive gameplay...I could go on for hours. Basically, if you have $20 to spare, you can't go wrong getting a copy of the game, at least in my opinion. :D

You can expect a review of FF3 in the coming weeks, assuming I don't get a job beforehand (which will probably happen, as if I ever need an excuse to take arbitrary hiatus anyways. :P).

Anyways, I hope all of you readers have been doing great. Take care and keep having fun! ;)

Starcraft 2: Tips, Strategies, and Tricks from a Silver-Level Player

It's finally time for another videogame article! :D

I recently started playing Starcraft II again, but this time I'm playing in the ladder. This is probably the first RTS game I've ever played where I actually play against other players. I don't tend to be a player vs player type of guy. However, I have to say that the matchmaking system for Battle.net 2 is actually pretty good.

I enjoy being able to just connect, click a button and find an opponent within thirty seconds.

Anyways, the article I wrote up details several tips I have for newbies that are struggling to claw their way up the ladder, much like myself. ;)

In other news, I should have a new internet connection in a few days. It will allow me to connect via Wi-Fi, so I'll finally be able to access the DQVC in Dragon Quest IX for exclusive goodies. I'm already stoked. :D

Also, should I decide to resume playing it after a LONG hiatus, I could play versus other people in Pokémon HeartGold as well. (That link leads to my relevant article; I write a lot, what can I say? :P)

Anyways, that's about it from me for now. If you ever find a Winterfate in Starcraft II, it's probably me (unless someone decides to name themselves like me; one of the failings of a system that doesn't have unique name limiters).

Until the next time, take care and have fun! ;)
