Each of related equipments - processors, graphic cars, LCDs and etc, used a lot of powers and generated lots of heat. Obviously, this contribute to global warming - a very serious damage to nature, to some extent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On &lt;b&gt;Saturday, 28th March 2009&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;b&gt;Lowyat.NET&lt;/b&gt; and &lt;b&gt;Multiplay&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp; will be joining a global effort to create awareness against global warming in &lt;b&gt;Earth Hour 2009&lt;/b&gt;. We would like to invite you to join in for the cause as well - by just flicking off your light switch for just one hour, &lt;b&gt;8:30pm to 9:30pm Malaysian Standard Time&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Each of your effort will be considered a vote for Earth against global warming and the results will be presented by WWF to world leaders at Global Climate Change Conference 2009 in Copenhagen, Denmark.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, while most of us love to game in the dark, why not take it further? Shut down all your electronic gaming equipments, let them (and yourself) take a break for Earth Hour 2009. Chill out outside of your home and enjoy the night breeze and shineeey stars that mother nature got to offer. You can get together with your gaming mates and chat outside the game for once this time. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It might look small, but each of your effort contribute to the cause. Even if it’s just an hour worth of effort.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;sauce: &lt;a href='http://multiplay.lowyat.net/2009/03/18/multiplay-supports-earth-hour-2009-take-a-break-from-gaming-on-28th-march/' target='_blank'&gt;http://multiplay.lowyat.net/2009/03/18/mul...-on-28th-march/&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;!--QuoteEnd--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEEnd--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Would you turn off your lights and gaming equipments on that night?

It&amp;#39;s not good. But who wanted Pro Street? It was a sort of made up, put numbers on the side of your car and pretend to drive your Ferrari where? Or your Porsche where?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;This year, the company will be releasing Need For Speed: Undercover - a game with a very strong mission structure that Riccitiello compared to The Transporter.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;For those of you who ever saw movies like The Transporter - it&amp;#39;s sort of a cult classic among people with a B-movie mentality, which fits me perfectly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;I liked it. I apologize. For those of you with no taste, and you liked it too, we can go have a Schlitz after this.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He said that the new title is a much richer proposition with a huge, embedded storyline behind it. Thanks to the strong narrative hook, he feels really good about the title.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Riccitiello noted that the Vancouver Need For Speed team had been working for eight consecutive years on a 12 month development cycle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;Last summer we added head count and split the team in two, so now there are two teams on a 24 month cycle. And this is sort of their first 16 and-a-half month game...Because we didn&amp;#39;t do it far enough ago to give us a full two year dev cycle.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next year&amp;#39;s game will be a full two year development cycle, he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;We were torturing a very talented group of people up in Vancouver, which makes it harder to be as innovative every year. So, I think we are going to get better from here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;I&amp;#39;m confident that Undercover is a much better game than Pro Street, and I expect that from this point forward they will do a lot better.&amp;quot;&lt;!--QuoteEnd--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEEnd--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;sauce: &lt;a href='http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/riccitiello-we-were-torturing-vancouver-studio' target='_blank'&gt;http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/ricc...ancouver-studio&lt;/a&gt; via &lt;a href='http://www.nfsunlimited.net/rssnews/view/16314' target='_blank'&gt;NFSunlimited.net&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh well, I guess it&amp;#39;s the time of the year again.

The notice appeared in the &lt;b&gt;October’08&lt;/b&gt; issue of the magazine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since the full details was not given in the magazine, we contacted the GameAxis editorial team to find out more about it ourselves. Lim Kuan Keat, the mag’s Sub-Editor explained that the all-female team objective is not competitive or focused on single game/genre as per common eSports team.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But that doesn’t mean they not going to be competitive if there’s occasion. Lim also gave an impression that the team will be showing their gaming skills everywhere once it’s formed.

It&amp;#39;s not good. But who wanted Pro Street? It was a sort of made up, put numbers on the side of your car and pretend to drive your Ferrari where? Or your Porsche where?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;This year, the company will be releasing Need For Speed: Undercover - a game with a very strong mission structure that Riccitiello compared to The Transporter.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;For those of you who ever saw movies like The Transporter - it&amp;#39;s sort of a cult classic among people with a B-movie mentality, which fits me perfectly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;I liked it. I apologize. For those of you with no taste, and you liked it too, we can go have a Schlitz after this.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He said that the new title is a much richer proposition with a huge, embedded storyline behind it. Thanks to the strong narrative hook, he feels really good about the title.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Riccitiello noted that the Vancouver Need For Speed team had been working for eight consecutive years on a 12 month development cycle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;Last summer we added head count and split the team in two, so now there are two teams on a 24 month cycle. And this is sort of their first 16 and-a-half month game...Because we didn&amp;#39;t do it far enough ago to give us a full two year dev cycle.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next year&amp;#39;s game will be a full two year development cycle, he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;We were torturing a very talented group of people up in Vancouver, which makes it harder to be as innovative every year. So, I think we are going to get better from here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;I&amp;#39;m confident that Undercover is a much better game than Pro Street, and I expect that from this point forward they will do a lot better.&amp;quot;&lt;!--QuoteEnd--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEEnd--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;sauce: &lt;a href='http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/riccitiello-we-were-torturing-vancouver-studio' target='_blank'&gt;http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/ricc...ancouver-studio&lt;/a&gt; via &lt;a href='http://www.nfsunlimited.net/rssnews/view/16314' target='_blank'&gt;NFSunlimited.net&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh well, I guess it&amp;#39;s the time of the year again.

            <title>CELgames 2008 - Grand Finals&amp;#33;</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/716789</link>
            <description>&lt;img src='http://multiplay.lowyat.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/110608celgames08.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--QuoteBegin--&gt;&lt;div class='quotetop'&gt;QUOTE&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class='quotemain'&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEBegin--&gt;The annual Computer and Electronic Games (CELgames) tournament is back&amp;#33; Organized by Gamers Dotcom and GameAxis, the all EA tournament is currently in its fourth year. There are three official games for this year’s event:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    * Command &amp;amp; Conquer 3: Kane’s Wrath&lt;br /&gt;    * FIFA’08&lt;br /&gt;    * Need for Speed ProStreet&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While the Grand Finals dates was already known (or at least speculated) since last month, the qualifier’s dates and venue were only revealed yesterday at their official website. They are:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    * 21st June: Tbun, Wangsa Maju, KL&lt;br /&gt;    * 28th June: FTZ Asia.net, SS15 Subang Jaya&lt;br /&gt;    * 11th/12th July: Midvalley Megamall, KL&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some of the above dates clashed with some of the WCG Malaysia 2008 qualifiers (more on that later), so you might want to plan your participation accordingly. Plus, if my hunch is right, there could be another CELgames’08 qualifier at Multimedia University since the university is listed as a Venue Sponsor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another piece of the puzzle that haven’t been revealed by the website is the prize list. I predict that we are going to see the usual offerings such as cash prizes, hardwares and PCs. On top of that, I predict that there will be something extra since Celcom is listed as one of the event’s Platinum Sponsor. Some handphones or wireless broadband stuff perhaps? &lt;!--emo&amp;;)--&gt;&lt;img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /&gt;&lt;!--endemo--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is going to be very busy from this month onwards.

            <title>Quake 3 Arena is alive, yes?</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/633630</link>
            <description>I don&amp;#39;t need to introduce Quake 3 Arena since it&amp;#39;s pretty much a bad ass game that everybody know.  &lt;!--emo&amp;:wub:--&gt;&lt;img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/wub.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wub.gif' /&gt;&lt;!--endemo--&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This thread is similar to the Trackmania Nations thread - &lt;a href='http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/633628' target='_blank'&gt;http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/633628&lt;/a&gt; whereby ESWC Malaysia&amp;#39;s organizer is interested to know how many Quake 3 Arena players are still around.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nope, the list is not yet finalized, that is the reason why they are asking about this. So, yes...please. Support this thread, tell your friends, family, relatives, girlfriends and neighbors.
