SC2

Saturday, July 30, 2011
Haha Alaric and some of his SC2 "teammates" took part in an SC2 competition at a LAN shop the other day! I didn't go because it was at 10am the day after my birthday at Zouk :S

The contest was organised by Alienware, which is a company that specialises in gaming laptops. The prizes were all cash prizes so they gave out a total of $1000 that day.

Ok random picture of an SC2 wallpaper. You don't actually control a single character in the game like you would in... WoW or L4D2. Instead you have a base camp and you create different units - the workers, the soldiers, the buildings needed for technology upgrades...

See I actually know quite a bit about SC2! ^^ I tried playing once or twice, but getting used to the controls were quite hard.

Anyway there are 3 races all fighting for control or something - Protoss, Zerg and Terran (humans; the image above is of a Terran soldier).

Alaric plays Protoss because they look the nicest -_- (they're kinda like shiny, sleek robots). I like Zerg (the aliens) because they look cool in this gross way.

(I hate it when Alaric wears a cap).

Anyway 50+ players went to the competition which was held at the LAN shop behind Concorde. I used to play L4D2 there a lot!

5 out of 6 members from Team Eve (lol) got into the Top 16!
Alaric actually made it the furthest, he was placed into the Top 8.

Oh yes. Alaric's in-game name is Rekanise hahahaha. Like... a ghetto version of "recognise"? Haha I dunno why he thought it'd be amusing.
So now he's EveRekanise lol.

Most of them brought their own keyboards, headsets and gaming mouse...

Alaric with a paper to say he's Top 8!

One of his teammates. I've met most of them by now for supper or IT fairs or whatever. And of course just 2 weeks ago Adam was here from Australia. Most of Eve is made up of Singaporeans though.

Haha here's their logo! I'm supposed to help do up their website. Free labour ):

And here's Adam (in-game name: Rorschach) and Alaric the other week at Zouk, being all geeky trying to spell out EVE with their fingers at Winebar. And... failing miserably haha @ Alaric's E with 4 lines.

  6. Okay let's all take a chill pill. What she wears/does isn't anyone's business anyway. And I didn't notice what she was wearing so you're either guys, or pervs.

    Bloody disgusting comment anonymous. Noone deserves gang rape regardless of what they wear. You mean we are lucky to have the law in Singapore to protect ourselves from warped assholes like you? Congratulations.
