That’s all the swag I got/swiped. Quite measly, I should add.
Here’s a rundown:
Dawn of War ‘Game of the Year’ double-sided game poster
3 Ablerex Blade temporary tatoos
Ablerex plastic bag
Ablerex fact sheets/advertisements
Wad of Ablerex Post-It notes
CD of Grisoft AVG Anti-Virus 7.0 Professional Edition
Intel ‘Game On!’ Centrino Cap
As I said, pathetic. I wish I could’ve gotten that Intel [...]
I have already mentioned (well, glossed over) the sponsor booths present at the WCG. This post’ll be to elaborate.
There were loads of tricked-out, pimped-up PC’s on show.
Check this one, for example. It was playing over 10 movies simultaneously from an external (possibly wireless) hard drive. I can’t remember what brand it was for, though. Oh [...]

They had gundam mechas! I’m [...]

Well, that was totally unfounded. I needn’t have bothered with a ticket, at all. Imagine my incredulity when someone at the overhead bridge to Suntec offered me two tickets. [...]
I have introduced some sort of ‘image gallery’ management to this site - it’s powered by Gallery 2 and tied into wordpress with the help of Wordpress Gallery2. I’ve replaced some of the images on the site with the exact same pictures, except managed under Gallery 2. See the Geography Field Trip, for example - [...]
Oh, crap.
The World Cyber Games have started, on its own, without me. I myself wonder how this came to be.
Was it the fault of (incompetent, irritating, irresponsible, INFURIATING) others which prevent me from attending the event’s opening ceremony and subsequent first competition day? You betcha. And the remainder of the post’ll be an expression of [...]
