What about a Wiki?

I’ve been thinking about a replacement for the forums, and I eventually decided to try out a wiki for my theme documentation instead.

Documentation Wiki

Feel free to add what is needed over there. I’ll be checking it out regularly for spam killing :D

If you bought the theme, you can add your site into the showcase or report any bugs there.

Forums Down!

Oops, I screwed the installation of the forums. I’ll get it right back up soon.

Red Alert 3: First Impressions

I just got myself a copy of the Red Alert 3: Premier Edition. Don’t ask me why did I get it, even though in the beginning I was really pissed that the Premier Edition standalone is not available in Singapore.

Even though I heard that there was a terribly long queue in the morning, the booth was almost empty at about 1PM afternoon. There was a booth selling the pre-order cards for both editions ($119 and $219), and I ordered the cheaper one.

Installation was a breeze (there was no notification of the DRM in place). The trailer at the beginning was great, but not as impressive as Red Alert 2. I decided to play the tutorial in the beginning. As I played the beta a few months ago, I noticed some improvements in the game. One thing I never checked it out is the new superweapons for the game (no NUKES), which I will check it out later.

One thing I noticed as I proceeded the Soviet campaign was that there was an option to play as a co-op mission and as a single player mission. I’m gonna try out the campaign with my friend later.

More about the game later!

Coming Soon – WP Steam Flat Theme

If you haven’t noticed, I’m actually an avid Steam user, which can be reflected on my works like the Steam Achievements, a Facebook application that tracks and integrates your Steam Community account with your Facebook profile.

Which brings me to my next premium WordPress theme, a theme which is based on the Steam interface. I’ve actually done up the prelimary mockup for the theme, which you can see it below:

I intend to release this as a free download, so stay tuned!
