Zinn the Blader

Zinn had a great time at the Cabal Online Philippines - Closed Beta Testing held on the 15th-19th of May'08. It was all shortlived, but I'm sure her spirit will continue on to the Open Beta and the main game itself.

There is no news yet on what dates these events will fall on, but I'm on the edge waiting... This may be the game I've been waiting for all these years...

The End of the Beginning...

Cabal Online - Philippines Closed Beta Testing launched today...



*We were considerate enough to keep the crazy character's identities blurred. Videos shot and edited by Daryl.

It's obvious... The people had a blast! And if initiating a disco party is a crime, then ban me from the game... Hehehe... (Seriously, don't do that, I can't deal with yet another heartache)

We were practically scrambling with ourselves (did I say that right?) to be able to play the game, and I must say, all the wait, the excitement and frustration was well worth it.

The game, for me is easy to catch up with. I must admit I still kept on pressing the spacebar and double-clicking on the monsters (when you were supposed to use the function keys)... But hey, I'm only human...

I don't know if it was just my settings or my video card but I think the characters could get more realaistic. (Thinking about Granado Espada's high note on details here)- I was expecting sexier outfits too! I would say though, the animation was cool, the skills (best on force users), the way the background moves, the way the sand gets blown by the wind, and the rain falls on the ground...

The first few minutes were chaotic! Everyone's running everywhere! After the first berzerked moments though, a brand new community was born. Sawsaw-eroids, Skyrocketing prices, a lot of newbies, helpful folks, and I'm guessing: invisible GM's... All that considering all these will be wiped out in less than a week.

The quests could get boring, we'll have to wait what other things are in store to spike things up... Or watch how well the community grows...

Oh, I already made a booboo on the skills, I got the wrong one... I wonder if such a thing could be 'repaired'...

Twins Bladers!

Introducing Xinn & Zinn... The twin bladers... (Sounds a bit like Gilette eh? - But trust me, we're going to be much sharper than that! Harhar...)


Vid c/o Daryl

I've always loved the idea of twins, so imagine my excitement when my friend, Daryl put out the idea of building twin characers! (It all started with the, 'What character are you building?' question, followed by a, 'Me too!' answer...)

He let me have the dibs on the character details, so with my recent obsession with the name Zi, and my cousins new nickname that sounded like it which is cool with me; Xiner from Maxine, plus the fact that the characters would be similar to assassins (or sin for short), Zin and Xin were born.

This is just the Closed Beta Test game, a wipeout will happen in a few days, so I'm more great ideas will be sparking up in leu of the real deal!

Let the Search Begin

I've been jumping from one game to another the last few years. I just couldn't find a game I could really immerse myself with. I would get psyched about one game for a few days, then I'd get totally bored by the time you'd spell MMORPG.

With that, I have yet to give up on the search for my game. Next on my list is Cabal Online, Philippines. I was able to snatch myself a Closed Beta Testing Account, and 'testing' starts later at noon.

In a bored note, I should say... 'I'm excited!'
