Battlegrounds are a special type of zone where unique player versus player
challenges can be found. They exist on both PvE and PvP servers, and provide
a level of competitive inter-faction play that can’t be found anywhere else.
Battlegrounds are special areas distinguished by a red instance portal. The
first time you encounter a battleground, you must walk through this red
portal to enter it, although later, you can journey there via flying mount if
you unlock the flight path there.
In a battleground, player versus player combat is always enabled, regardless
of server type. This gives players on the PvE server who want a taste of PvP
gameplay the ability to do so on more manageable terms.
While in a battlegrounds area, you can team up with friendly players while you
embark on quests designed to pit you against players of the opposing faction.
You can easily leave a battlegrounds area and return to the normal world by
speaking to another friendly battleground NPC.

The terrain mapping camera onboard India’s first unmanned lunar spacecraft Chandrayaan-1 took excellent shots of the earth from deep space in black and white, the space agency said here Friday.

“The camera was operated through a series of commands from the spacecraft control centre of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO)’s telemetry, tracking and command network (Istrac) here. The images were received by the deep space network (DSN) at Byalalu,” the space agency said in a statement. Byalalu is about 40 km from Bangalore.

The first imagery, taken from an altitude (perigee) of 9,000 km above the earth, clearly shows the northern coast of Australia, while the second imagery, taken from an altitude (apogee) of 70,000 km from the earth, shows the southern coast of Australia.

The yellow metal saw another round of free fall on Friday in the domestic markets in the wake of strengthening dollar and sliding crude prices. The relentless fall since its recent peak has weakened the metal’s appeal as a hedge against inflation.

Reports that gold fell by more than 2% in international markets on Friday and headed for its biggest monthly drop in more than 30 years as the stronger dollar and recession fears triggered fresh bout of fund selling, which led panic selling in India too.

In Mumbai, a major gold hub in India, the prices of standard and pure gold tumbled by Rs 305 each to Rs 11,795 and Rs 11,855 per 10 gm, respectively.

CS Source is out for a while around the world, but still counter strike 1.6 is played more than the latest version because of the fact is everyone got used to CS 1.6 or may be many are forced to settle with CS 1.6 since their machines are not compatible with Source which has an way better graphics and detailing in the game. Some of my friends have machines with 1GB RAM and still finds it hard to run the game in a good resolution. This game does need a good graphic card. Valve obviously will expect Source to be in attraction, but it will take time for Source to take over 1.6 May be a year or so, how CS 1.6 took over 1.5. I really would love to dump CS 1.6 and start playing Source, but my machine only has a 512 RAM and only has a 64 MB on board graphic card, so i can’t. So upgrade your systems for a better gaming experience. CS Source screenshot

Remember those days when we sit down in the morning to start playing a good game of Mario bros in the tv till the evening, where our moms had to beat the hell out of us and make us eat the breakfast in the evening, fighting with our siblings to take over the video game, how could we ever forget those days where we roam around like anything, searching for the best game catridge in stores.

If you want to play those games now on your PC?? The same old games which Nintendo made. Cheers! cos you can, for that what you need is an emulator/MAME.MAME is an emulator application designed to recreate the hardware of arcade game systems in software, with the intent of preserving gaming history and preventing vintage games from being lost or forgotten. One such emulator is Nestopia using this wonder full software you could enjoy almost every game you enjoyed playing when you were a kid. The games which are meant to run in nestopia have a extension .nes. There is no change at all in the games, not even the controls, all the same. You get to play possibly all the games from Super mario bros to battle city to road fighter and what not. But i used to play this game called the flin stones return, but i cant find it out anywhere on the net. But still i have a thousand other games to enjoy :grin:

What Is Dota
icon1 gowtham | icon2 warcraft | icon4 07 7th, 2008| icon34 Comments »

The first time when some one hear the word ‘Dota’, they might mistake it for a strange Hindi word, but DOTA or Defense of the Ancients is a custom scenario for Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, based on the “Aeon of Strife” map for StarCraft. The objective of the scenario is to destroy the opponents’ “Ancient”, a heavily guarded structure in each corner of the map. Players use powerful units known as heroes, and are assisted by allied heroes and AI-controlled fighters called “creeps”. As in role-playing games, players level up their hero and use gold to buy equipment during the mission.

The scenario was developed with the World Editor of Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos, and was updated upon the release of The Frozen Throne. There have been many variations of the original concept, the most popular of which is DotA Allstars, which has been maintained by several authors during development. Since its release, Allstars has become a feature at several worldwide tournaments, including Blizzard Entertainment’s BlizzCon and the Asian World Cyber Games, as well as the Cyberathlete Amateur and CyberEvolution leagues.

If you are used to playing in garena, but really sick of being kicked out of the game, because you lag. Then you are probably not choosing the correct host to play in.

The 1st thing to keep in mind before choosing a game host is to go in to a room which is geographically near to you, or quite simply, go to the rooms which has your country name. Once you are inside the room and need to choose a host to play in, check out the number of ping bars he/she has on the right side in the member entries. Less the ping bars, good the host for you to play on, i would insist you not to choose the host which has more than 1 ping bar. The next step is to tunnel the host, just right click the host entry and choose GG Tunnel, you will get the result of whether there was a successful tunnel made to the host in the chat space. If you find a tunnel you could well continue and start the game else choose another host the same way. The game will lag even if you have a slow internet connection(obvious).
