Playing Online
Posted by Shawn in Gaming, Internet, Multiplayer on 11 17th, 2008| | 1 Comment »

Being a professional gamer, I always like to keep playing games and enhance my skills. The most frequent games that I play are Counter Strike 1.6,  FIFA 07, NFS MostWanted, etc. When my friends or team mates are reluctant to play the games together, I switch to the online mode. I play these games online with the skilled players from all over the world. This does enhance my skills.

One technical difficulty that most of the people face while playing online is because of the ADSL router which makes direct connection difficult. If this is the case, you need to download a free VPN software called Hamachi by LogMeIn. This software allots a unique virtual IP to your machine. After installing this software, you need to create a network and all the other players can join it through Hamachi and start playing your favorite multiplayer game.

Gaming PC requirements
Posted by Shawn in Gaming on 10 23rd, 2008| | 1 Comment »

Playing games on a PC will never be an activity full of fun unless the PC has gaming configuration. The most basic hardware component for a gaming PC is  the graphics card. Requirements of other components are listed below:

1. Processor (with a minimum L2 cache of 4 MB & FSB = 1033 MHz)

2. RAM (2 GB)

3. Video Card (With atleast 256 MB of video memory)

If the PC is built up of components with above mentioned configuration, then the user will have a good gaming experience. Also, Graphics Card that supports DirectX 10 is preferred and those are the latest ones.

My gaming addiction
Posted by Shawn in Gaming on 10 19th, 2008| | No Comments »

The most pleasurable activity for me is gaming. I just love to play games. It all started when I was a kid and my dad gifted me a Super NSE video game console for my 8th birthday. I utilized that console to the fullest extent and was busy with it all the time. I used to try different games over different cartridges.

This addiction has today turned into professional gaming. I play for various gaming competitions in the US and I believe it is the only thing which gets me unlimited joy.
