Today I started playing the Command and Conquer Red Alert 3 Beta, mainly because Warhammer was down in preparation for the next Beta testing phase (it’s getting closer! yay!). Speaking of Warhammer, I can’t wait until the Closed Beta is over and the NDA is lifted because I have so much stuff to share with you guys! Now back to Red Alert 3! The newest chapter of the Red Alert series is such a good game so far, as I have only played about 25 games, but it has been great so far. Continue reading ‘CnC: Red Alert 3 Beta First Impressions’

Gold Slam Beta 2 Started last night and I can say that I was really excited to start playing again. The game is really fun and is one of the few free games that I have throughly enjoyed my time spent. Gold Slam is made by Aeria Games, the people who brought you Shaiya and a few other popular free games. Gold Slam Beta 2 is going on until August 4 so go get the game and lets play some tennis!
There was a patch today for Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne. You can get the patch by connecting to battle.net and downloading the patch like you would any other. The patch notes are at the end of this post. There is a nice new auto-save feature which will be handy for DotA league games and it will cut out on game save breaks if they implemented it right. There are also a few new commands and a new cheat! If you play ladder games there are a few changes that you might want to look into as well. Continue reading ‘Warcraft III: TFT Patch 1.22 Today!’
There are many ways to play video games and each have their own benefits and drawbacks.

Recently I came across this new service called JACT which is a site that gives you “JACT BUX” for just playing a game. Or as they say “JACT provides a free service that rewards PC gamers for the games they play every day. Played WoW recently? Or maybe Call of Duty 4 is more your speed. JACT supports over 300 PC games.”
From what I can tell, $1 USD is roughly equal to ~1000 JACT BUX. You can make ~100 BUX per hour playing a game of Defense of the Ancients on Warcraft III and some of my friends have said that you get more BUX by playing games that require much more interaction like ladder games on Warcraft III. Their mall has all kinds of things, from pet care accessories to high end NVIDIA 9600 graphics cards (260,000+ BUX!).
JACT is currently still in its beta phase and is invite only, but you can request an invite on their website.
