I love the genre of real time strategy games (RTS) the most. I've played practically every RTS game that has ever been produced back then. Some of them were horrible but I still bought them. I mean afterall, the games were pretty 'cheap' around these parts back then (if you know what I mean ... hehehe ...). I didn't care if they were good or not, I'd buy them anyway.
I was so fanatical about games that I'd actually do loads of research on them and join forums and stuff. My partner in crime was my best buddy Adrian with whom I would cruise the malls looking for new games and then we'd discuss them all day long after playing them. Yes, we were like geeks back then ... LOL!
But these days I don't really have all that much time to sit and plays game anymore. Half the time if I'm on the computer I'll be blogging away ... hehehe ... But recently I came across this MMROPG game called Dungeon Runner, an online video game where you get a magical sidekick called a Bling Gnome that eats any unwanted item and turns them into gold. Wish that could happen in real life! Anyway, this sidekick of yours is pretty helpful and gives you loads of points too.
And to celebrate the release, a 'Pimp Your Gnome' contest is being organized where you can create your own little fancy creation for your gnome. And not forgetting the fame that comes with winning ... LOL! Here's a little tip on how to WIN. First, go buy a gnome from any store out there, then dress him up with whatever materials such as a pimp hat, your diomond studded earing, any of your jewelry, etc to bring out the bling in him or you could simply dress yourself up as a gnome :D
But you must take some pictures of your pimped up gnome from at least 2 angles. And you get extra points if you post pictures with people admiring your gnome or even you dressed as a gnome in public places like a mall or something. I'll bet if I dressed myself as a gnome and headed to the malls here, I'd probably be arrested and put in the loony bin or something ... LOL!
I was intrigued by it so I downloaded the game to try it out. I found it pretty cool, no really, I'm not just saying that. The game has some incredibly wonderful graphics and effects that will leave you pretty impressed with it. Don't believe me? Then go purchase or subscribe to Dungeon Runners. In fact, you can go and download the free game and try it out first cos I can still see that skeptical look in your eyes. And it's really kinda funny too cos those blinged gnomes (is there even such a word as blinged?) look pretty hip hop following your character in a post apocalyptic scenario.
And remember if you do go and check it out and actually take part in the contest and end up winning, send some of your loot my way, k? LOL!
