This is something i write at Spotgamers but i think it is appropriate to share with u guys here as well.
In the western countries at the moment, gaming seems to be attracting negative vibes rather than positive. Gaming has been accuse to be the reason why certain unwanted events happen, to be like a venom spreading poison into minds of youngsters. Not just gaming has been associated with activities of no importance and wasting time, but in certain event in few years it has come to a point where gaming has been a cause influencing MURDER.
In US, game such as Halo and Grand Theft Auto has been said to influence the teenagers involving in the Columbine Massacre. I believe everyone know what is Halo and GTA all about. Compare to Halo, GTA is more into violent since it portrayed the live of a criminal. But does that mean those who play this game will be influenced to act against the law?
If you say yes, please feel free to smack yourself in your face. If you cant do that, allow us here at Spotgamers to do so. Gaming is not violent. Its just a tool that ignorance use to blame. If you blame game, then blame the knife for stabbing. Whats the difference?
Now before we all get emo here, why don’t we all look at both side perspective. The gamers haters do point out a good fact that games that’s being produce nowadays are more into violent and its getting amazing response as well. GTA IV is selling like hot cakes on the console platform. Just wait till it comes to the PC and it will be a volcano. What makes it more worried is that the gaming company are willing to do such games that they might make a game base on porn or any other unmoral acts in life. Wouldn’t this affect the young ones? Since violent gaming is doing so well wouldn’t this gaming company wanna make profit and do games base on violent more? In the future we will see more GTA look-a-like at the stores instead of cutie Mario or Maple Story.
We as a gamers have to admit that this genre do have violence in it. That is the first step. We must first know and acknowledge that games such as GTA are violent. That this game shall not be followed,act and practice in real life. Whats in the game stays in the game. This simple first step solve all problems. At the same time we must condemned this type of games to be sold publicly and played by young kids. These games shall be sold separately from other general games and only adults are allowed to purchase. Just like how they did with cigarettes. Even if the young ones would like to play this game they must play under the guidance of their parents. With the correct guidance and attention, any bad influence that may be stood upon the young ones will be contained from entering their holy brain. Just like how our parents told us we cant fly like Superman, the same thing must be advise when it comes to gaming as well.
This problem seems to be more serious in the west compare to the Asian countries. This is because the Asian countries have stronger religion and culture bond that it is hard for bad influence to dominate. We are more close to our families and religions compare to the western countries. This is another reason why we dont have much social problem besides Mat Rempit of course. When we wanna do something bad, we will always remember God and our father face with the belt on his hand.
Now does that make competitive gaming violent too? Guess what, competitive gaming is the ultimate cure to this problem! Yup just like sports, competitive gaming encourage confidence,self respect,will power,passion,determination,hard work,learn how to make new friends and might be enemy as well and other self development personalities. Through competitive gaming, bad influence can be annihilate and thus social problem cause by games can be prevented as well. It is the perfect cure to all of this problem.
So gaming isn’t bad. The person who lack knowledge is. That is why God always want us to gain knowledge not just to be smart but also to prevent evil doing as well. So as a gamer beside focusing on gaming we must also focus on studies as well.
So be competitive, be religious and be smart for the good of our local gaming community. ^^

What is the role of a clan?
Why do people actually create clans? Izzit to dominate the gaming scene? To be the best? To be in a gang? To encourage more competitive gaming? Or To be gay with each other?
Now the reason of a clan being created can be varied. It can either be all of the above or none of the above or might the last one on the above. lol
But what i know is clan was created by a group of gamers who play the same game or might have different division of game as well.
For me, the clan role in the gaming community is to ensure that the gaming community will remain strong,healthy and growing or you can say productive.
For example, in the previous years there was hardly any tournament around. Even if there was a tournament, its pretty hard to fill it up the slot. Imagine if you are not in a clan, you alone will not do much help for the tournament itself. But when your in a clan, you go there as group and thus can confirm that at least 10 spots will be fill.
Now this is only if 1 clan. If we have 2-3 clan? Then up to 30 spots can be fill up easily. So to get the spots fill easily will not be hard anymore. Plus the clan in Malaysia are not picky as well. Even small tourney and oversea tourney we still join as well. For example last year there was a FIFA tourney in Dotcom8. Up to almost 60++ ppl turn up in such a small tourney! Even this year MMU Cyberjaya held their own cybergames tourney and it was a success. Thats show how we trully appreciate the organizer effort to held a tourney.
Plus being in a clan is fun! Your in a group with the same people who have the same interest with you. You can share skills, joke fool around or even go to karaoke together. Even when times was hard in the gaming scene we all can still stand together because everyone is supporting each other. If you were playing alone, you dont have anyone to support you or to motivate when you were down. Many people said that gamers are not good in communication skills. But if you were in a clan, this will help you tremendously because you have to interact with your clanmate as well. For me, although i am from an english speaking family but I learn how to speak english better because im in a clan. And currently starting to pick up some chinese language as well. Ni Hen Piao Liang, Wo Ai Ni. LOL 
And clan will produce great gamers as well because you will be able to practice and share skills together with your clanmate. This you can see from other clans as well where most of the top gamers in Malaysia are from a clan. Not just in Malaysia but the whole world as well. This will help the gaming community to produce a world class gamer that everyone in the world would look up to.
Although its good that all clan will always participate in any tourney, but to be more professional the clan must also give back something to the gaming community as well.
For example, W|nDs has develop our very own W|nDs Youth Academy which would teach the younger generation how to play FIFA. Plus W|nDs has also develop a policy where from now on we are going to accept players only from the W|nDs Youth Academy. So we will not going to accept anyone above 21 at the moment. With this youth academy. we can confirm that there the tradition will never die after the veteran has retired one day. So there will always be a streamline for new blood.
Another example is The FIFA Blog which i have created to share my knowledge in FIFA to the public. You guys can check it out at rinieramli.blogspot.com.
So this is how the gaming clan help the gaming community by making it strong,healthy and growing or you can say productive. The clans are not here to dominate but rather to set up a benchmark standard for others to follow. At the same time gaming clans in Malaysia must also find out ways to help the gaming community beside joining tourney. Because our community is not big, we must be creative and find out ways to make our gaming community the best in the world.
So i hope that this will clear things out about our existence here as a clan. Although there are a sign of dominance of a certain clan in the gaming community, we are here to help the gaming community, not to destroy it. Just like Eminem lyrics in his song Toy Soldier ” Why must we destroy the things we help build?”
And I hope that this will encourage more gamers to create their own clan as well. Come together we will change the gaming community and make our gaming community the best in the world. Together we are strong! ^^
Hi guys! As you may know previously i’ve received invitation from Abit to show my skills in FIFA during Computex 2008 to help promote their event. Computex is the 2nd largest IT event in the world. It is where all of the IT developer in the world meet up and show off their latest prod and tech.
One thing that i notice about Taiwan is.. Taiwan is so piao liang!(beautiful). They have such cozy weather with a little bit rain here and there but i’ve never experience heavy rain yet. Its kinda foggy here as well so its kinda cool as well. Thought that i wanna wear a jacket but after i saw that none of them wear any jacket well i have to control macho lar and tahan the cold. lol
Oopss before i run away too far from the main topic for the 1st time in the history of gaming, a FIFA clan logo in Malaysia has been proudly presented here at Computex. Here is the pics:
Clan logo
Abit booth
W|nDs Logo
Computex Building
This shows that W|nDs has manage to make a breakthrough to oversea and being recognized as one of the top FIFA clan in Asia. We hope that from this breakthrough it will motivate others to work hard as well as to encourage more sponsoring activity here in Malaysia.
Here are some extra pics for views:
