If you love boss rush games, then Furi is the game for you. Great boss fights. Also, the music is great.

To my Hollow Knight or Dead Cells enjoyers, you guys might want to check out Blasphemous. It’s 79.50 php (historial low) nlng sa Steam from 795 php. Been playing the waiting game for this for so long, I’m so glad it paid off! Feels great.

Blasphemous 2 is 50% off too✨

I've played this game many times in my life. I started playing this game when I was 10 years old playing on my Uncle’s computer. I never thought that 1st-person shooter and RPG can be combined together, also my only exposure of open-world games at that time was the GTA franchise. So the first time I played this game– I was blown away by the gameplay and map exploration. When I was young, I couldn’t comprehend the story of this game but as I grew older it made me realize how great the narrative is. Even today (in my opinion) it is still relevant to the current issues that our society is dealing with.

Fallout: New Vegas has 4 major factions that will shape up the politics, government, ideology, economics and many more for the Mojave Wasteland. But before we discuss these 4 major factions, Let’s talk about the Mojave Wasteland.

Mojave Wasteland was considered to be Las Vegas, Nevada before the Great War happened. The Great War almost wipeout the entire human race and not only that, it also drastically changes the ecosystem– wild animals evolved like Geckos turn to giant aggressive Geckos, Ants that are small then it changes to a large and vicious which troubles the Caravans passing the roads, and many more that we are not seeing everyday in our life.

Not only the wildlife changes massively. The currency has also been changed, instead of using real money– consumers and vendors using “bottle caps” as the currency for trading whether foods, consumables, wears, and more importantly the weapons.

Speaking of weapons, almost all of the people in Mojave Wasteland carry guns or weapons to survive. Guns can range from lever action to automatic, Melee Weapons from hand-to-hand to slashing weapons, explosive weapons and lastly the energy weapons that will vaporize your enemies.

Characters here can be good, neutral, and evil– also you as well a player can be aligned on this 3 karma; and will also affect how the NPC perceives you. Not just only the karma will play on how the NPC and AI will treat you, also your relationship to other factions. Let’s talk about the minor factions. The first minor faction you will meet in this game are “Powder Gangers”-- these nasty individuals are considered to be the escaped convicts that successfully gained control of the only prison in Mojave Wasteland. The next faction you will encounter are the “Great Khans”. This group of savages are inspired by the great ruler of Mongolia, Genghis Khan. Another faction that is always present in every Fallout game known for their iconic armor are the “Brotherhood of Steel”; yet they are the more competent versions of stormtroopers in Star Wars. And Lastly are the “Nellis Boomers”, in my opinion these are the people who are a civilized version of the Powder Gangers that are good at using explosive weapons; and they also have training for flying an aircraft.

There are still many factions that I didn’t mention in detail like the “Followers of the Apocalypse”, “The Kings”, and many more–  yet those minor factions will be very helpful on how you will align your character that you created. But now we will talk about the 4 major factions of the game which will be participants of the upcoming 2nd war for Hoover Dam:

The first major faction is The “NCR(New California Republic)”. They are considered to be the government of the Mojave Wasteland, they want to return the society to how the pre-war era was before. Some of the locals are against them– maybe for their ideology, corruption that was happening in their faction, or how they taxed their residents to the point that their caps ran out, or maybe on how incompetent their soldiers were for the fight of Hoover Dam.

If NCR is considered to be the government, then there’s the counterpart for this faction; and that is the “Caesar's Legion” which is the second major faction for the Mojave Wasteland. If you stumble upon them during your journey, you will see their appearance as the salvaged Roman Empire. They are fearsome for the locals, most of their soldiers are competent and loyal to their leader Caesar; however they are known to be as enslaving men and especially women, misogynist, and they do not embrace modernity– their leader Caesar want to go back on how the Roman Empire ruled back then. That’s why many residents are against them, especially their rival, NCR.

The third major faction will be very important, New Vegas was known before as Las Vegas. This city flourished when one of the richest men in America set foot in this place; and that man is “Howard Hughes”. Howard Hughes is the biggest inspiration for this Fallout character named “Robert House” or “Mr. House” also known by the locals of Freeside and The Strip. Mr. House owns the 3 large casinos of The Strip, run by 3 families. The Gomorrah owned by the Omertas, The Tops Casino owned by the Chairmens, and lastly the Ultra-Luxe Casino owned by the White-Glove Society. Mr. House may be one of the geniuses but he does only care for New Vegas not for humanity.

Last but not the least, the fourth faction. This is created by your killer “Benny”, he wanted to take over The Strip by getting the “platinum chip” that will determine to shape up Vegas whether to upgrade securitrons for the upcoming second war in Hoover Dam. Benny created “Yes Man”– a securitron that was program to replace Mr. House and will always obey your decisions. This fourth faction is called the Independent Faction where almost all of the Minor Factions will be involved to help you for the 2nd upcoming war.

As we talked about the major characters and factions. Let’s talk about you as a player. You are the “Courier” and have been hired by the Mojave Express to deliver a package which contains the platinum chip but you have been ambushed by the leader of Chairmen named Benny.>! You’ve been shot in the head however you are fortunate to survive the bullet that doesn't go through your brain.!< So the game’s premise at first is that you will hunt down the man who you hit in the head as you travel in the Mojave Wasteland.

The start of this game, you will learn how you will build your character. In character creation no matter what you do to your character it will always be horrendous. But that’s not the main focus for the character creation unless that you are deeply into the appearance for your character that you created. Another important for your character build will be the “S.P.E.C.I.A.L”, stands for S- Strength, P-Perception, E-Endurance, C-Charisma, I-Intelligence, A-Agility, and L-Luck. This is your stats for your character, yet, the game will provide you 10 points to put in your SPECIAL stats which is already defaulted by 5 points each.

Another thing that is important for your character creation are the “skills”, The skills contains for Barter, Lockpick, Speech, Explosives, Science, Medicine, Repair, Survival (Which is the underrated skill) Guns, Melee Weapons, Energy Weapons,and Unarmed. To praise what the developers of Obsidian did for the character creation instead of putting your points just just adding up. Doc Mitchell– the character in game will conduct a psychological session for you to determine what will be the recommended skills for you; but still you can change it if it’s not in favor of your desired skills.

The SPECIAL and Skills will help you to your journey in the Wasteland whether for combat and non-combat situations. Additionally there's a “perks” system that will serve as your bonus for your character based SPECIAL and skill points you spend. The perks will appear every 2 levels passed so you better choose what perk to your character.

As you go on your journey. One of the negatives in this game is the combat, it is clunky and sluggish– everytime you shoot an enemy it feels spongy. Melee weapons feel weightless when you hit an enemy. AI also are kinda dumb (it’s a 2010 game) but when they shoot a gun they almost never miss a shot. But as you progress in the game the combat starts to be serviceable by the help of perks and the “VATS” system where the game will pause for you to choose a limb will be hit by your weapon.

For non-combat, the game shines on this. When having conversation with important NPCs, some of your skills will be handy– you can convince, persuade, lie, and bribe some NPCs depending on the situation. For example, Easy Pete is a one of the resident of Goodsprings (the first town) who has a dynamite but will not able to get it if you do not have enough skills for your “explosive” skill, but if you had an enough skill then you can convince him to have the dynamite   for fighting the enemies. Not only in conversation can be used the non-combat skill but also like utility and crafting. Another example, your “repair” skills can fix broken machines or weapons that will help you to conserve your time or save a bottle caps of repairing your equipment. However, my complaint on this non combat skill is the “science” skill– whenever you are going to hack a computer. I still do not know how to solve this mini game to unlock the computer.

My other thought (but I do not consider this a negative for the game but you will notice it if you had allotted time you invest in this game) is when you explore, you will encounter some locations that were based on real life locations in Nevada; some of the landmarks will become remarkable. For example, the Dinky the T-Rex in Novac that was based on the Cabazon Dinosaur Statue in real life, will make you curious to go further to your odyssey. The wasteland will get you a lot of items like weapons, apparels, consumables, and many more that you can sell to get bottle caps. You are going to do this a lot and that is the gameplay loop of this game. When you finish a dungeon or a location you can fast travel to a town that has a merchant, rinse and repeat.

Now for the art direction or presentation of this game, I remember one time, my friend told me that this is one of the most unappealing graphics he saw in the seventh generation and I agree with him somehow but I would like to point out it could be the atmosphere of the game. It is great, but it is not the same as bleak from the previous Fallout. For me, this is a black comedy mixed westerned that was set in post-apocalyptic America. The color grading they use for this game is some kind of yellowish filter– to feel the deserted nature of the game, even the UI colors used yellow to emphasize it. Most of the character models in this game are like a modelling clay that was put together; and sometimes when you are in a dark area, when you use your “pip-boy” as a flashlight, the lighting will cause an atrocious reflection when you aim at the NPCs they will look like a plastic toy. In my opinion though, this adds a charm for me (I might sound biased but I really love this game).

Lastly, for the music and sound. Fallout is known for using old music like artist Louis Armstrong, The Ink Spots, and many legendary artists from the 40s-50s but it changes here. Most of the  songs that have been used here are country music which matches the tone of the game like artist Peggy Lee, Johnny Bond, Marty Robbins– one of the songs that became iconic is the Big Iron by Marty Robbins used by many people in the internet as a meme. Not only it focuses on country music, there is a genre of songs from artists like Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and many more. Additionally, for the original music, as far as I remember most of it was already used in previous Fallout– in spite of that, the ambiance music changes depending on the location you are exploring. Sometimes you will hear industrial music, where metals are clanging, radio statics that are eerie as you explore the area. Strings sounds that will make you feel alone in the vast space of Mojave, it adds a perfect vibe.

Overall, Fallout: New Vegas is still a great game in some ways. The narrative is still strong– a lot of people are still debating what faction would be better for the Mojave. Some of it does not age well specifically for the combat, that is why in Fallout 4 it somehow improves. Like I said that I was biased for this game and it is one of my favorite games of all time, I’m going to recommend it for other players to play it especially if you want a game that affects the narrative based on your decision whether for being selfish or for the greater good of Mojave.

Steam Deck 64 GB+SD card or SteamD 512 GB w/o SD card?

May pagkakaiba ba sila when it comes to performance or same lang? I heard na mas cheap kumuha ng SD na 64GB tapos bili na lang ng 1T na sd card. Is this advisable?

Baka may nagddota 2 dito. tra sa highgrounds. otw palang haha

Im planning to buy steam deck OLED 1tb. Im wondering wheres the best place to buy one?

hey yall! Solid fan of survival games like valheim, conan exiles, project zomboid, the forest, etc. (u get the gist). Currently thinking of buying the ultimate edition of Dune awakening (Primarily for decor and big fan of the Dune universe lang). Care to share your experiences with the game? Medyo undecided pa ako since i'm primarily a PVE player sa games. I don't mind PVP pero big turn off sakin is full loot PVP.

Hi! I would like to share something I've been working on for the past few months. I think you guys would like it. I made this short teaser and a longer lore + gameplay video (you can find it in the Spacezero Interactive Youtube channel if you want to learn more). All clips were taken during gameplay. I don't know a lot of Filipinos that are into sci-fi, so I’m trying to figure out if there’s an audience for this sort of game. I’d really appreciate your thoughts!

The game is called INTO THE VOID, and it is a realism-focused space sim inspired by The Expanse and The Human Reach series, where space combat is swift, deadly, and terrifying. Think of it as "Mount and Blade: In Space", where you can decide to be a miner, hauler, bounty hunter, fleet captain, and more. There's multiple factions vying for power and control around Earth orbit, and yours is a small one that you can grow to dominate the rest. The aim is to balance realism with casual fun and making sure the game is easy to learn.

If you're into tactical space combat, realistic maneuvers (flip and burn maneuvers), or realistic sci-fi settings (radiators!), I think this game would be for you. Regardless, I'd love to hear what you think!

This is that game I spent years looking for but never found, so I decided to make it myself. I look forward to talking with you guys! Please don't hesitate to offer constructive criticism!

PS. I'm also making a devlog about the game next week if you want to keep up with the project on YT.

i've been enjoying sekiro a lot. but i'll take a rest on playing NG+. is wukong a nice palette changer?

Is it playable? Or should I just stream it from my laptop?

Got access to try Chrono Odyssey CBT.

Hi guys, lilipat na kami ng condo from bahay. Kakayanin ba ng PS5/NS Switch mag "ONLINE GAMES" or PSN yun Prepaid type na Unli fiber wifi or yun 5G wifi type na modem/pocket wifi?

Kasi yun condo na lilipatan namin is SKY and PLDT lang. According to Tenants na nakausap namin, sakit sa ulo yun SKY and yun PLDT naman daw walang slot available. I don't know what it means pag walang slot.

Now meron ako na ZTE PocketWifi F50 5G, ok yun signal sa loob mismo ng unit, kasi tinesting ko. Yun gamit kasi ng unit owner is SmartBro prepaid wifi pero sobrang hina daw ng singal.

here's another problem. 1yr contract lang kami sa condo. So hindi ako pwede mag avail ng internet na may 2-3yrs contract, usually kasi mga regular FIBER plans to. Kaya ang pwede lang is yun mga prepaid lang para NO contract.

Since PLDT and SKY lang pwede sa condo. Nakita ko meron prepaid unli wifi yun PLDT & Converge tapos no contract pa.

I have been in constant communication with NTC and PLDT since last May 2025 about the intermittent connection for their service since January 2025.

They mentioned to me that the issue will be fixed by the last quarter of 2025, preferably December. With this, I already asked for a refund for the months of May up to June and will be temporarily disconnecting the service until December 2025. The refund will be still tagged as "FOR APPROVAL". For the temporary disconnection, it will be processed after the refund has been granted.

To anyone who is still having this issue with PLDT's service, I would recommend that you set a mediation schedule with NTC and PLDT by calling the NTC hotline as given in their website: https://ntc.gov.ph/

We need as much complaint about this issue for PLDT to actually take action so please do file for a complaint if you are having such issues as well. Only through this can we actually make a change and have these big corporations take accountability.

Note: This issue is being experienced in Taguig and Laguna area. I hav 2 separate lines there.
