This article is a tribute to the recent Earth Hour event.

Quote from USA Today:

The statistics from the said report come from offices in the US alone. Imagine the results if it included home PCs, or consolidated the data from around the world. The numbers from the report alone is already very disturbing. PCs left opened overnight waste too much energy, which could have been used for other purposes.

Energy, powering our PCs and other gadgets, does not come free. Energy companies burn fossil fuels in order to generate energy for the rest of us. As they burn fossil fuels, carbon dioxide is expelled into the air. Thus, not only do we contribute to wasting energy, we also contribute to air pollution. Believe i

Review: Dragonball Evolution (contains spoilers)
 

More than a year ago, the world was shocked to see leaked pictures of what seemed to be a live-action film Hollywood adaptation of the famous anime series, Dragonball. Many had hoped to dispel the news as mere rumor or a failed attempt at Photoshop. But the constant stream of leaked photos and the eventual revelation of the Dragonball film only spurred more anger and negative feedback, perhaps even a source of satirical commentary. A small number of fans held back their comments and angst, clinging to that small glimmer of hope that the film adaptation would be an unimaginable success.

The Ballistic Story

 An alien named Piccolo ravaged the land 2000 years ago and was eventually sealed by a bunch of monks. For whatever reason, Piccolo is once again free and is after the seven Dragonballs, capable of granting the collector a wish. The fate of the world is now in the

10. Obedience

Have you ever wondered how so many of us are compelled to follow an order from an authority we recognize, even if there’s a risk of going against our morality or ideals? Perhaps that question was too much to swallow. Rephrase: have you ever wondered why you follow orders to someone with authority? This is the sam

IAHGames’ latest masterpiece, Dragonica, has eluded most of us non-CB players for quite some time now. We’ve read numerous newsflashes and reports about Dragonica’s obstinate bugs and critical flaws. Some of us expectant players may have been disappointed, impatient or frustrated at the pace the beta is taking. But IAHGames recently made a move to alleviate everyone’s frustrations and prove suspicions wrong, by opening the servers for four days to players outside closed beta.

This review will be as condensed as possible; to give justice to the game’s brief experience they gave to the players. Please take note that Dragonica is still in the beta phase, and as such, many changes can and will take place. This review is a record of experiences during the 4-day stint I had with the game. I will give a full review once this game goes commercial.

First Dragon Flight

The preview client has no updater to run, and instead takes you directly to the login screen. It was nice to see Dragonica having around 5-6 server slots reserved, with a maximum of 12 channels per server. During that period, only one server was opened with 4 active channels. Players can c

At first glance, the title may sound like some sword looted from monsters. Au contraire, Windslayer is the latest MMO offering of Outspark. This game is a 2D sidescrolling MMORPG partly orienting itself on PvP gameplay. Yes, you read it right, another 2D sidescroller for us to revel at. Windslayer is everything you expect from a 2D sidescrolling game… and that’s it. Were you waiting for something else?

Random Slaying

If you’re looking for a story, Windslayer has none. Outspark’s Windslayer site says nothing but “embark on a hero’s journey,” which is merely defined as “no story here. You’re on your own.” Thus, Windslayer is one of those games that instantly drops you in the world with a very short welcome and into the heart of monster slaying. The game starts you off as a novice, with the option of changing into six different classes upon reaching level 10, and the opportunity to advance further in two more specializations each class.

After creating your character and entering the world, the only tutorial you’ll get is a virtual signboard showing the basic movement and attack controls. An NPC will also be present be
