MAG is Lookn Good

Being a Socommunist Member

Like Kenobi. This is your clan. No one has a right to force anything on you. Learn at your pace. Join battles when it is convenient for you. We are all here by choice.

We are all here basically to have fun in a communicating clan. When other members inquire about needing your assistance. PLEASE, acknowledge them whether you can help them or not.

Recruitment in Socommunism Clan

Everyone one in Socommunistical clan can recruit other members. Think of the mafia and the jedi. You are building your own team. They are responsible to you and you are to them. like a Padawan. A trial period can last a matter of 1 week to a month or more. Bringing the member to the vote of the Council to be a full fledge member.

The problems in other clans that I have seen. New members are just thrown in. No real guidance. They fumble around and get frustrated. Causing problems for everyone.

Clan tags are given freely. But can easily be taken away. Please, keep it simple and have fun. The clan is for its members.

Members of our clan be careful on who we bring in. Stats are nice, but maturity and being able to relate to our community is more VALUED.

A Great Quote From Master Yoda

Establishing a Soccommunist Clan

OK...a clan for its members still needs a leadership though. Think of Star Wars III "Revenge of the Sith." In reference to the Jedi Council. Master Yoda is the leader. But still listens and abides with the Council to make decisions for the Jedi. Even though many members are not on the council. Everyone is respected. Concerns can be addressed to the Council for shaping the clan. In battle, anyone can be appointed GENERAL to direct operations of the battle. They do not have to be on the Council...just like many Jedi seen in the movie fighting battles abroad.

The funny thing is they are sometimes referred to Knights of the Republic. Isn't a republic a communism term...like the People Republic of China. Hmmmmmmm.

SOCOMMUNISM

A start of a whole new revolution...in Socom Confrontation clan formations that is. Socommunism is basically the idealogy of merging people who like socom and combining the ideals of Communism. According to wilkpedia... Communism is a socioeconomic structure and political ideology that promotes the establishment of an egalitarian, classless, stateless society based on common ownership and control of the means of production and property in general. NOW,I am not advocating communism, but the basic need to more of a classless clan. We join our clans in hopes finding new friends, share ideas,and have fun playing Socom. Not to be bullied and abused by power hungry tyrants and faces countless drama issues. Socommunism is not having to attend long winded training sessions and meetings and have the threat of being casted out of the clan. It enpowers their members to pick and choose what they want. A little anarchy against the old establishments. Yet still serving the common good of the clan as a whole. Everyone has a voice.

Remember SEGA CD Night Trap

I was looking through my old games and found this old jem. Surprisingly, we have not seen any resurgeance of film video/games. I think that SEGA should consider offering a game like this and others as a download on PSN. If they keep the price low($2-4.99)...would be neat reliving. My Sega CD is getting tired..yikes!

This game has a funny scary twist as you can see in the video. Kinda like watching an old horror movie. You are basically saving people by going through the different video camera feeds in the house and setting traps at the right time. Can be frustrating at times(got to be active setting traps rather than just watching), but interesting in what is going to happen next. This and more videos found on youtube

Singstar New Voice Feature

Available on the new and improved Singstar store through the game you can get this download. It is currently free...so, please act fast. It did mention that it may be included in the future releases of new singstar games like the Queen edition due later in August of this year. Tried it out yesterday and it works great. No more looking around the room to move on to sing the new song. Just say what you want by using the voice commands on the blue mic. Plus, you can still have the option to turn it off which is nice too. Nice update. Oh, some of the trophies are pretty easy to get. And this game use the playstation eye really well so you can see your performance and share online with others. Rating others I found fun to do too.

New EA Sports Complex now up in HOME

Hurray! We have another cool Home space with new "FREE" games available. It feels like a two-in-one. They have a free race car game downstairs, videos, poker tables upstairs, looks like a driving range coming soon, shops coming soon, and the place is really huge. Access it like you do any other of the HOME spaces. It just keeps getting better and better. Advertising like this is a win for everyone. Plenty of room to expand. Like the poker table...you have to wait for your turn jump in on a race.

"Poker!" FREE In HOME

Checkout the first of many EA game spaces...The Godfather 2 Space. Has a nice bar area to mingle and watch a ad for the game. Go upstairs and to the back to see all the poker tables set up. To play, you have to go to an empty table and everyone has a minute to join in. It basically 5 card poker elimination and it is FREE. You find it under locations... Along with the many others spaces. Looking forward to the next one from EA.

Socom II

Going retro...if your PS3 can handle (older 60gb and 80gb) it or grab your PS2 out and enjoy. Still a nice well made game. Online has plenty of maps. Check out the link for a review.

Kage No Gundan - Opening

My View of Gaming Clans

If you seen the "Kill Bill" movie, you may heard references to this old Japanese ninja show on small networks during the 80's. "Kage No Gundan Shadow Warriors" is a great action drama showing how ninja clans operates...being a part of a group of people with a common goal. I think the idealism of ninja clans is where gamers' took to the ideas in the PC world, and it is fits perfectly in my opinion.

Think about it...the IGA Clan was huge...however, the series focused on chief Hatorri Hanzo with 4-8 members performing missions. Every now and then, members would be switched out or teamed up with another group of the same clan on the other side of the province. Still, IGA ninjas alway easily meshed due to members knowing all the basics that the members needed to get the job done.

So, the reason why I wrote this piece is to enlighten one thoughts of a joining a clan. Whether is it is big or small. People have to work together. Just like the Shadow Warriors of old.

Shadow Warriors is a great series and you can learn and see more on amazon.com For mature audiences-- FYI. One of my favorite series.

Killzone 2 Behind the Bullet Demo

At first when I saw this, I thought that I already downloaded the Killzone 2 Demo from before the game release. But I noticed that it is only 190MB. It is basically the 10 second commercial with ability to manipulate it and understand the commercial better. Includes commentary as well. Use the start button to access the controls. Download it on the PSN store available today for FREE! If you like shooters then this is a game to own.

Gaming Since the 70's

Checkout this old games system from the 70's. I still own this one and remembered playing it on the old black and white tv that I used to have. Makes you realize how far gaming has coming. Even in a simple state, the games can still be fun.
