It seems odd that Carnage could become the best Quake player here without much practice. In fact, he feels that practice doesn't necessarily make you a top player.

So he prefers to spend his time chasing other pursuits like clubbing, drinking and listening to music (he particularly likes acid jazz and trip-hop).

However, Carnage feels that "the X-factor is what separates the good from the great".

He cannot describe in words what this X-factor is, although it is something which is evident in the way some gamers control their opponents and the moves they execute.

According to him, some of the other local gamers which have this elusive quality include Bryan "Shearer" Low and Jeff "Forsaken" Yap.

Clans are based at their core on friendship, not any ambitious desire to be the elite of the elite. Ambition is a goal, not a premise for a clan.

I was playing Rocket Arena 3 in Clan Arena when me and one guy died at each others rockets. We were laughing at each other when this guy Buzz just said " Must be a CS player. Oni CS player tak brain".

Silicon Horizon is here already! They moved into an office somewhere in KL and you can guess that the latest in gaming hardware will be out in stores soon. Don't forget to catch the latest in mousepads like the FUnc and also Everglides. Also if you are interested in getting a Boomslang, well there won't be any more troubles getting it. Don't forget to check out their website to view the latest in gaming hardware and also other stuff.

Warzone League Updates
[ 1:16 AM | Mavik | 0 comments ]
The only time I get to update league results are when Kraken has a match. Well today's match featured Kraken versus TGA at Warzone2. Kraken having taken CT during the first round beat TGA 7-1. In the second round Kraken beat TGA 7-2. gg TGA.

Another update. It looks like not all NBTD players are only contending for highest frags. Zen from Clan SI (Sanctioned Insanity) has enough frags from their recent matches to actually give NBTD players some challenge. Remember may the best fragger win! New rulings have been made. There will be no more walkovers and the team that doesn't turn up will have 3 points minused from their total points.

Quake 3 Invitational
[ 1:11 AM | Mavik | 4 comments ]
Yes its a tourney at long last for us quakers held by Silicon Horizon, the company that provides us with gaming hardware like the Boomslang in Asia. It will be in December and it will be for Malaysians only. Maybe with this news I hope we can start our training now? With any luck, the Malaysian team might be chosen through this tourney. So you quakers out there better train hard. I think maybe the top 8 will be chosen. The format and the rules have not been set so more updates coming!

... not when I haven't seen you guys play live yet dammit.

Whoa, what is up with TMQ?
[ 5:17 PM | Mavik | 3 comments ]
What a surprise I got when I went over to check out TMQ's site. First was the superb graphics and also the new web address. Then came some music, Break Stuff? Hah, actually was my MP3 playing actually. Damn, I thought the guys over at TMQ had a sudden change to Limp Bizkit. Anyway there is a online CS tourney held by TMQ. The prizes are given each week if I am not wrong and a grand prize will be given to the top 3 best players. Check out more info here. Looks like maybe CHMY might get a little competition from this site. gg Don Vito!

Link of the Day
[ 4:59 PM | Nael | 5 comments ]
In the recent/ongoing NBTD furore an interesting link cropped up in relation to the anti-Ah Beng/Jinjang/Tucow issue.

Here you go, Honda-modifiers:

The Rice Boy Page.

Seems like America faces the same problems... unfortunately, you just can't escape from some cultures. Thankfully, Mavik's Waja doesn't have the potential l33tness as compared to the usually horribly mangled Wira.

Cars here?
[ 4:38 PM | Mavik | 1 comments ]
Ok here is an update about our country's latest car, the Proton Waja. Built to be a higher performance car compared to the Proton Wira, EON boast of better stabality and less vibration and sound for the Proton Waja. Well only managing a 0 to 100kph in 12 seconds and having a maximum speed of 186kph, this car is actually quite good for our country's standard. You can't really compare it to foreign car manufacturers. I mean how long have they been manufacturing cars while EON is just new. Also Proton Waja's have been released and you can see many of them on the road. Having 101.08bhp this car has one third of the power of a Impreza. Well hopefully when the specs of the 1.8litre version is out, and the results are good, I may just love the car. By the way, do you know that a Satria GTi is more powerfull than a Ford Focus? Hard to believe? Well a Satria GTi has 140bhp while a Ford Focus only produces 113bhp. Now what do you have to say about Malaysian made cars!
