Epic Fail Games moves to conquer The Old Republic!

by on Mar.10, 2011, under News

Recently BioWare announced that they would be offering a Three Phase program to preemptively create and recruit for your guild for The Old Republic. The first phase is the initial recruiting and naming of guilds; as such, Epic Fail Games has created a guild to begin spreading our chaos amongst the ranks of the Empire.

We hope to see many members of EFG join up and possibly even recruit a few new members to the community.

Our Guild Page can be found here: EFG Guild

 

Original Article:

Today, we’re excited to announce the launch of the new Guild Headquarters (HQ) as well as the Pre-Launch Guild Program. Many members of the community have already been organizing guilds on the forums, and we’re now happy to provide the tools to officially register and reserve your guild’s name. In this new section of the website, you can search for an existing guild to join or you can create a new guild and begin recruiting members. When Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ launches, you may be able to import your guild directly into the game, subject to availability and meeting certain criteria*.

Every guild gets its own guild mini-site on www.StarWarsTheOldRepublic.com, complete with information about the guild, its recruitment status, and its own public and private forums. Create or join a guild now and you’ll have the opportunity to have your own space to socialize and organize before the game launches. Every guild is automatically entered into the searchable guild database, which makes it easy for players to find their ideal guild. Get your guild together early and get ready for The Old Republic!

To learn more about guilds in The Old Republic, check out the Guilds Game System page for details, and to search for or join a guild, visit the Guild HQ now! Also be sure to visit the Guilds FAQ for answers to commonly asked questions.

*Conditions and restrictions apply. See Guilds FAQ for full details.

PrizeRebel Review

by on Oct.31, 2010, under PC Reviews, Reviews

PrizeRebel: Internet Pyramid Scheme or Legitimate Business? You tell me.

I have been a member of PrizeRebel’s website for about two weeks now and for all of my hard work (hahaha… XD) this is what I have to show for it.

I imagine a lot of people look at PrizeRebel’s website and say “It must be a giant scam”. Well, it isn’t. The way PrizeRebel and other websites like it work is they get their user’s to complete surveys and signups, in doing so the owner of the website (PrizeRebel in this case) gets paid a certain amount of money. To compensate the user and add more of an incentive to keep performing, they pay their user a percentage of the profit. This way both PrizeRebel and YOU get paid.

PrizeRebel works on a simple point system… Really simple. $1.00 = 1.00 point. 1 == 1. I know, it’s complicated. :(

PrizeRebel has a minimum payout of 5 points. You cannot “cash out” until you have at least $5 worth of points. Unfortunately, PrizeRebel WILL NOT cash out in paypal or check. PrizeRebel will only pay in terms of  Steam game gifts (Like how I got Overlord and other games), Amazon.com purchases, Ebay, Target, I think they even support bestbuy and Walmart.

They have some huge list I never bothered reading all of the way through as my current interests lie in Steam Games and League of Legends, their method of paying works well for me.

However, for those of you who would prefer a Paypal cashout,  PrizeRebel‘s new sister site RebelBucks WILL payout via PayPal. So feel free to signup there. The RebelBucks site functions exactly the same way PrizeRebel does.

Another cool thing PrizeRebel does is allow you to gain 20% of what your referrals earn which is why I am making this guide. I have tested PrizeRebel. I have profited from it, and now I want to help my friends do the same thing. As you can see from my “Quick Stats” I have earned $4.132 from the friends I have already referred. It’s how I was able to test their prize claim feature so quickly. Thank You BILL/Umbreezy!

Okay, it works, I proved it. So now you probably wanna know how you can get started as quickly as possible, right? I find it easiest to start by looking in the “Most Credited Offers” section on the homepage and picking something from there to do.

Step 1: Pick one…

Step 2: use the Search feature so you know what is REQUIRED to complete the given offer.

Step 3: Complete offer.

In this case, all you have to do is signup on the given website and then click the confirmation email they send you. Crediting usually only takes a few minutes although there are some offers that take 1-2 days to credit you. I would strongly suggest using a generic/spam email address such as a new hotmail, yahoo, or gmail when completing offers. If you use your regular email address you will probably regret. Spam is scary.

Suggestions:

Since my guide is extremely basic and somewhat lacking I strongly encourage you to actually read their guide. Also, the “available offers” section under “get points” has a few sorting settings that will make your life easier.

Referral Banners:

League:

Steam:

PrizeRebel Contests:

Another easy way to earn points is through the contest system. As far as the daily contest goes, all you have to do is complete 2 offers that get credited a day and then you’re entered into a random drawing of 30 people. I happen to have won this morning so I’m fairly happy! :D

Comments:

If you have any questions about PrizeRebel, feel free to post a comment here… It really is easy to earn some cash and get that next new game. Overlord amused me for a night until Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2 came out. XD

Starcraft II: Continued

by on Jul.31, 2010, under PC Reviews, Reviews

Okay, so I’ve gotten to play a fair chunk of the game now. I started with a handful of Campaign missions, moved to multiplayer with some friends, then checked out the already growing selection of custom maps available and I have to admit, I’m fairly impressed with the game as a whole. Although, there are a couple things that didn’t appeal to me and in reading other reviews of the game these seem to be a fairly common gripe.

First, let me start by answering a question I’ve been hearing a lot. Far too many people are complaining about the cost of the Starcraft II: Collector’s Edition and frankly, I think it’s silly. In addition to the game which is retailing at $59.99, the Collector’s Edition includes a 2GB flash drive in the form of Jim Raynor’s dog tags. Raynor’s dog tags come preinstalled with the Starcraft Anthology with a license built into the installer. Given that the Starcraft Anthology is still selling at $19.99 and your average 2GB flash drive is ranging from $5-10, and that Blizzard included numerous art assets, commentary, the games soundtrack, and more I see absolutely no reason to believe that I overpaid for my copy, or that the money was wasted.

In my opinion, Starcraft II’s campaign has lived up to all expectations and then some. I am absolutely amazed by all of the detail in the missions, cinematics, and the continuation of the storyline. The various UI and control improvements from its predecessor have made the game easy to pick up after having played some of the more recent real time strategy games and the newly added element of persistent teching and upgrades is a very nice touch for the campaign.

For me, the biggest drawback came when I switched from the campaign to multiplayer. Having played the Starcraft II beta I was well aware that many of the units were not going to be in multiplayer games but that doesn’t stop me from missing my colossal army of Dragoons! Another note on multiplayer, while the persistent teching and larger unit selection in the campaign are good for the campaign, it fails to prepare you in any way for multiplayer. “Versus play is a beast of an entirely different species.” Tim @ CAD.

Despite my repeated failures in multiplayer I am still enjoying the campaign and all of its glory.

Here is another photo gallery for those of you interested in seeing what the campaign holds in store for you…

Starcraft II

by on Jul.27, 2010, under PC Reviews, Reviews
Alright, so this is my first major blog post. Please forgive any major typos, errors, etc. Without further ado, I present to you… The Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty Collector’s Edition.
Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty Collector's Edition Front

I would like to introduce you all to my brand new copy of Starcraft II. I managed to get out to the gamestop by Full Sail University after class for the midnight release, and was actually one of the first dozen or so in line. The evening was made much more enjoyable when a pickup truck carrying several cases of Monster showed up to give everyone attending the energy to stay awake through the event. Having acquired my copy of the game I rushed back to my place for the unboxing ceremony and from this I have these pictures for all of you.

Here is a link to my extended review of the game: Starcraft II: Continued
