NBA 2k15 Pre-order Preview



Hey guys, it's been a while. I just picked up my copy of NBA 2k15  and I'm here to let you know what to expect from the preorder package.


Let's start off with a photo:





That's ALL you're going to get from the PC preorder package. A case, and a plastic card with a CD key printed at the back. A sticker with a code to claim your preorder bonus is placed at the back of the case.  There's no physical disc included. (The pack includes a sports bottle though, which will arrive in a week or two. It doesn't really make up for not having a CD but a freebie is a freebie) .That sucks for people like me who have slow internet connection. The game is a 40GB download from Steam, so it's probably gonna take a couple more days before I actually get to play the game.


That's it for my run through on the NBA 2k15 preorder pack. I'm obviously just doing this to rant about having to download the game as opposed to installing it from a CD. I hope you guys don't get too shocked (the way I did) when you get your copy of the game. Peace!




Did you say Dragon Age for FREE?


Evening guys! Karl here to bring you a somewhat late reminder that Dragon Age: Origins is free on EA today until October 14! So if haven't picked up the game yet, I'm gonna tell you this: PICK IT UP NOW! Even though I've never actually played the game before, I've heard so much about this series. If you're a fan of RPG's, fantasy, dragons, and story lines, it's an excellent game to try, and buy. In addition to the game, if you log onto the Bioware site, you get a couple of free DLC's to boot!

Dragon Age: Origin
DLC1 (Just purchase The Stone Prisoner, it costs 0 Bioware points)
DLC2
Note: You'll need Origin installed on your system to add this to your game library

In other news, there are also several other games on Steam that are free right now, as part of the Bundle Stars promotion! Grab Crash Time II over on their site

Bundle Stars

IndieGala also has Ionball 2: Ion Storm out for free on their site this week as well! You should probably go and grab that, since there are only limited keys available!

Indie Gala

Aside from the free games, Humble Bundle just recently launched a new bundle! I'll review the games once my new laptop gets delivered here, so stay tuned! Judging from the looks of it, the second tier looks pretty fun. I mean it has Dark Siders, Titan Quest, and Red Faction: Armageddon. While these games may have been on sale once or twice before, they're still worth picking up and playing!

Anyways, sorry for the lack of pictures in this post, it's hard to work on such a small screen. Ince my new laptop comes in, I'll be sure to bump up the qualities of the post! So, it's been a tough week, and I've almost been in the US for an entire month! Looking forward to when I can buy games again. Until next time, this is Karl signing off.

10 Reasons why moving abroad fresh out of college alone will be an uphill battle

Hey guys, Karl here, back after lots of excuses as to why I'm not writing that often anymore. You may have heard that I've moved back to San Francisco, but to be honest, I'm not exactly having the greatest time of my life here. When you're alone, you have to battle that huge monster called loneliness all by yourself, and sometimes you lose sight of who you are during that battle.

I've complained about how hard it life here is compared to back home in the Philippines, made excuses that I'm trying my very best, but I don't think that's really happening. So I'm just gonna stop with the excuses, because all they're doing is making be anxious all the time, and instead of half-assing my way through everything, I might as well make do with what I have.

So let's get on with the post, Buzzfeed style (without gifs, because I'm too lazy to look for appropriate gifs)!

1. You will get homesick


2. You will miss your parents



3. Getting sick is the worst


4. Finding a job will be hard


5. Making new friends will be hard


6. You will get lost

7. You will miss the comfort of your home


8. Learning commute routes, and/or driving will be necessary


9. Meeting up with old friends/relatives might be awkward


10. You might forget what you really wanted to do.



Anyways, hopefully I'll get over all of these. I'll post something more positive when I get a better computer sometime this week. Because I miss my old battle station, and I need something to fill the empty void in my heart. Also this is the buzzfeed formula right? List, list list, something deep at the end that makes you question stuff. I would go into more detail, but this laptop freezes every 10 seconds, and I finished this post 40 minutes longer than necessary.
