Overclocking



Overclocking is basically the process of pushing the computer's processor to run faster than its stock speed to gain more performance for half the price.

Overclockers are divided in to two groups

  1. The Practical - are those who buy cheaper low-end parts and overclock them to the performance on par with the high-end parts or beyond, and save some hard earned dough for other PC parts.


  2. The Enthusiast - are those people who buy high-end parts and overclock them to its full potential because they can afford it and most importantly earn some bragging rights into it.

Street Fighter 4



This is my 2009 most anticipated game next to Resident Evil 5. While, some people got it 1 week early ahead of the released date I could not help myself but read on some Filipino online forums about it and how fun it is to play with. I immediately got a towel and wipe my saliva off my face, just by reading about it make my mouth water dripping with saliva.

When it was already released on February 17, 2009 I looked at the net as to where I can order one. But, I was unlucky that I don't have a credit card to continue my purchase. Even so, I looked for any other ways just to get myself a copy. To make this story short, out of desperation I contacted one store in Manila that has a branch here in Cagayan de Oro (CdeO) and luckily they told me that they already delivered it and it will arrive on February 21, 2009. so, I contacted the branch here in CdeO and make my reserve.

When it arrived I immediately bought one of the four copies of it on the first day moreover, I played it. And I have no regrets on what I did or what I have gone through just to acquire a copy of this game because, I know that I am one of the few who got and played it early in CdeO.



The game is just plain FUN it's just like the Street Fighter 2 that I used to play on arcade boxes when I was just 10 years old. with some visual upgrades, new characters, moves and additional gameplay.



The game features a robust and challenging single player modes. although, I find the easiest difficulty to be tough when fighting with Seth for the first time. He is just too powerful and cheap and it annoys me a lot "maybe I just sucked at playing". however He was a real challenge for me.

The game also features setting online competitive challenge mode on and off to work with single-player. Just as you would expect in playing an arcade boxes, if you're battling the CPU and someone issues a challenge, your game will pause and you'll automatically accept the invitation. Once the game has finished and you leave the multiplayer lobby, you'll restart your offline game from where you were. I have not experienced this yet because I am still on the process of completing my characters.

This may not be a game for all but I think this is a must buy for fighting fans so that you can challenge me online.
