Lotsa exciting videos of the units, gameplay, game loading can be found here.
And some in game pictures found here.
It’s only in Mandarin though, so I can’t really help you translate a lot of the unit names, etc.
But those of you diehard fans will need no help from this geek there!

Ravana and TH15 of Team 1MS has done Singapore proud by winning the Dawn of War 2 Asian Finals organised by Replay Interactive, THQ, and Gigabyte at the 2010 Taipei Game Show!
Besides USD1.5k cash, they also win for themselves a Gigabyte M1305 laptop each complete with an additional dock that has a graphics card to add on to your graphics capabilities.
It was a nail-biting finish between Singapore and Taiwan as Team 1MS lost the first round to the Taiwanese boys due to various hiccups. More on their exciting finals here.
More photos from the tournament and the of 2010 Taipei Game Show can be found here.
Over the next couple of days, this geek will not only be bringing you coverage from the rest of the 2010 Taipei Game Show, but most important from the Intel Extreme Masters where Singapore will be represented by Team Titans.
Stay tuned!

This geek’s disciple “GReekonomics” decided to throw a party to atone for his failure in learning his master’s true abilities:
Pretty excited about tomorrow’s party, though I’ve had absolutely no time to think about it nor plan it. Too bad the invites are ultra-limited and max-ed out already due to the limitation of the room booked.
A big sorry to all you reading this whom I couldn’t invite!
Woe to those who are coming though, for they have no idea what’s gonna befall them. Neither do I. Bwahahaha! Well, here’s a little hint for my 10-odd guests:
*rubs hands in evil glee*

and I’m also helping to promote Video Games Live! on 19th June. THE gaming symphony event! Have you got your tickets yet?
All this in between my crazy travelling schedule over the next 2-3 months. Which is why I really have no time to blog here for a while.
I’m still blogging at CNET Asia though, do drop by often and I hope to resume my blogging on this site soon!
I’ve also taken on some new work and there should be an announcement soon regarding a new site I’m working on. Stay tuned for the announcement!
Thanks for reading and hanging around, the traffic for this site, given how little I’ve managed to give to it, always baffles me:

This story was quite fascinating to me, although the find of Atlantis on Google Ocean turned out to be not so.

Many people tweeted this. Found it quite amusing that all the iPhone users are having problems at the US geekfest. No, I don’t think AT&T realises that geekfest is in Austin. Fail.
I’m in Seoul now and tomorrow I’ll be presenting at this conference
WPBA
Amongst the familiar faces will be Hillary (Malaysia) and Victor (Hong Kong) from CNET Asia as well.
Initially I thought I’d just be coming here as an attendee and not a speaker. However when they invited me to present, I took sometime to think about the theme of the conference and decided to present on the topic ‘Citizen Journalism in Singapore’ giving a snapshot of what’s been happening here in this area as well as some key learnings. In Singapore, citizen journalism has impacted brands, government, sports, traditional media (STOMP,OMY and RazorTV), legislation, local blogging communities, and much more (depending on how much I can squeeze in hurhur).
Although I don’t really like to talk about social media and citizen journalism (as mentioned in an earlier blog post), when I started preparing the materials, I surprised myself how I managed to put a presentation together in less than 2 hours. In fact, I had much more materials than I had time to present. This alone convinces me that citizen journalism is truly well and alive in Singapore. Since I’m the only one from Singapore here, I hope to give the rest of the world a better understanding of what’s happening here in our part of the world, especially when folks from some really popular sites like Digg and Gawker Media (Gizmodo) will be here as well.
Hope to share more about the conference again soon. Till then!
p.s. Some of the gadgets I’m reviewing on this trip : Canon EOS 1000D and Gigabyte Netbook.
(Signing off from Seoul)
