Metin 2 (F2P Type Game)

http://www.metin2.us/
Metin 2 is free to play with the option of buying in game items for a price that you can benefit a little over other players from having unique items to cool clothing.
I created a warrior character who chose the path has a berserka and is only level 11 by playing it on/off over a weekender period.

The game starts with the player choosing which of the 3 realms to pledge their loyalty to, each realm has a background story so choose wisely before jumping into the action.
Once the player has chosen the realm, next it is to choose the class that player would like to play with, there are 4 classes to choose from at the start.

The 4 classes to choose from are: -
Warrior - Once passed level 5 can either tank or berserka.
Assassin - Once passed level 5 can either be sin (speed attacks) or archer (bow/ranged) force.
Mage - Once passed level 5 can either use lighting (gaia) and dragon (flame/dmg) force.
Sura - Once passed level 5 can either use mirage (weapon) or black magic (attacks) force.

The graphics are not to bad, nothing to sing about but acceptable.
Sometimes though the game does slow down here and there so I do suggest turning off the shadows in the options and close any programs running in the background like Steam etc.








Movement uses the WASD keys and Page up and Page Down keys for zooming in and out of you character with the point/click method from the mouse for targeting/attacking.

Sound is OK for both music and sound effects with the option of turning both off in the setup.

Players can also ride horses in this game Once they reached level 25 with 3 horse types during a players level advancement.
If I recall what it said about horses is that when a player has reached level 25 he/she can ride a pony for just riding and at level 35 + can ride a horse while attacking when in mount mode.

The horses does need to be fed now and again by using some special type herbs (yum yum with a pinch of salt).








There is a guild system in Metin 2 with the option of buying a guild house/guild buildings to benefit guild members, these buildings can be expensive so ask for member contributions.

There is plenty of creatures to bash outside of safe zones with the option to turn off the PVP tag. I would also like to mention that there are spiders and scorpions in this game so if you have got a phobia with them at least you have be warned :).

The community seems OK with players wanna team up with each other, there are dungeons, realm wars here and there and yes you can fish also Once reached level 20 yay.
I myself has not fully discovered everything about this game yet still I am intrigued to find out.

Until the next weeks update WokkaWokka.

The Tom Green Show Live On The Net

What can anybody say about the man Tom Green, that he has a loony sense of humour or a man with talent.
I think of both has he always made me smile during my teens in the 90's with his shows on both MTV and MTV2 to the naughties.

For those who do not know by now, he has his own show on the net that is aired live at around 2am GMT/6pm PST and is screened later on for certain TV channels across Canada and America regions.
On the hour long Tom Green Show he has celebrity guests with an added inch of humour here and there to the show and best of all it is free to watch (apart from paying your ISP bill etc).

I would recommend his show to any One, so why see his show live at http://www.tomgreen.com/ on weekdays at 2am GMT/6pm PST.

Update 28/03/08 - Tom Green Show is taking a short break and will be back soon with more episodes.

Introduction - The WokkaWorld Dream !!

The dream popped into my head during the summer of 2007 when I was on my favorite game Guild Wars and thought about a new project to undertake in 2008.
The project would consist of game reviews, everyday online and real life content that try to be tasteful from around the world.
Welcome to the WokkaWorld Project..!!

In the not so distant future I would like to add more fresh content to this project with people of whom I have known if they would like become a co-author with their very own specialised day.

I would also like to add a WokkaWorld forum and Ventrillo server later on to this project that some lucky chosen people can use.
The forum and Vent server will not be guild but neutral based would be a place where friends of old and new of whom I had the privilege to meet can use to keep in touch on their latest happenings.

Enjoy the dream, Enjoy WokkaWorld :)
