Gamelight: Guild wars 2

And now I present the WoW-killer: Guild wars 2. Woooooo*insert ghost voice*. I know it isn't true but I think everybody feels good when they read WoW-killer even though they are two different games. That aside, there was some "new" news.

There isn't big news of Guild Wars 2 but there is something weird. Arenanet and Nsoft( the 2 bhind Guild wars 2 ) asked the fanbase to register their in-game name before 31th of July but to obtain the name, you must use it in Guild wars 2. So get you're name as fast as you can, otherwise the search begins to an other in-game name.

The people who pre-order their guild wars2 are aible to play beta version. Previous week, the 2 remaining races were relaesed, they are called Asura and Sylvari. So true fans of the game can try them out ;)

That was gamelight for this week, not much news but let's hope that next week will be better ;)

Inside the Gamer week 4

Hello Sunshine!!!! These are the words to describe this week. A week with fun and sun ;) After weeks of rain and sadness, Mister Sun visited Belgium.

I'm a gamer but gamers don't stay inside when Mister Sun asks you to come out, so I decided to go outside and enjoy almost every bit of the sun. I started on Monday with some chillaxing in the sunlight, not for that long only to enjoy the light. Thuseday was the first water-fun-day with some friends. Just swimming in a pool and again enjoying the sun. On Wednesday I took a break, i didn't felt like to go outside and I was preparing  my birthday with my mom.

Thursday was my day, my b-day ( not only mine, but you know you are the king when it is your birthday :p). Me and my mom went to the Belgium beach for some sightseeing and enjoy the sun. I got a lot of wishes from my friends, the most of them on facebook( because they don't know when you're birthday  or they can't reach you :p).

Friday was the same as Wednesday, just chilling and playing games( i'm still a gamer :p ). this was my sunny week, hopefully it isn't the last we( belgians) saw from the sun.

Next week more life news in this topic ;)

Oh one last thing, I will post a poll on this blog. I hope you guys vote for it and not only one guy like previous time :p

Jacks Tech: Turtle Beach Ear Force XP300

When the new generation of consoles came there weren't many headset with voicechat. Turtle beach is one of the 2 headset makers who solved that problem.


The Ear force XP300 is a headset for the PS3 and Xbox360, you can also use it on PC but Turle beach don't mentioned it. This is a bluetooth headset with a LiPo-Battery. it is a good headset for gamers because it can isolate the sound around you. But there is a disadvantage with this: It can anoying for some people. The shell press to strong against the ears whick can lead to an uncomfortable feeling.


With the headset you can control the sound in the game, it has 4 stances: normal, bass boost, treble boost, bass & treble boost. This can give you a better gaming experience when you certain games for example race games. Some last warning when you put the sound on max, put you headset off otherwise you won't hear a thing when you put him off, this means that sounds is more than ok ;)

this was jacks tech for this week, next time more technology ;)

The AlphaGameBet: The "C" for Call of Duty

This topic will provide some old and new games. Each week I talk about a game that begins with the letter of the alphabet. And this week it is the "C".


This is a serie I know very well. I played every game on the Playstation but friends say that PC-versiuon is more fun. Call of Duty is a first-person shooter made by Activision. it is a game for Pc, Xbox and Playstation.

I think most of you ( or everyone) knows the serie and played it once. I played it with my friends on the Playstation 3 but I don't like the serie anymore. Why you say? Let me tell you. I don't say it is bad or something, it is just the same stuff in a different setting. Every time you get the same graphics, the same problems but you get an different setting every year. With other words, it gets bored.

That was a my personal vision of Call of Duty. But for the people who never played it, here is some general information. You play a character in the game in different levels. The story is very short( i think a couple of hours or something) but you get pure action in it. The multiplayer is the big succes of Call of Duty, the big rush of the singleplayer is transfered in the multiplayer. The problem in the multiplayer is the big group of people who f*** up the game. Some examples of this are: grenade lauchers & RPG's ( or any other bazooka) aiming at people to kill them, quickscopers, anoying 12 year-old boy who know your mother very well etc... If can avoid these people, it is a fun multiplayer.

This is AlphaGameBet for this week, if you guys know a game with the letter "E" let me know ;)

Gamelight: Borderlands 2

An awesome game with a lot of fun, that's how I describe Borderlands 2. This was the other game that I didn't chose last week for Gamelight.We had some luck because there was new information about this game. I will let you guys see what is new and the old thing from last week.


There wasn't a lot of information about the game, but I will give you what i know so far. The new information was that the game will take 58hours to complete it one time. This is proven by testgamers so it isn't a random number. The head of marketing at gearbox, Steve Gibson, says that it will take longer because the gamer has many character to play with so the replayability is guaranteed.

The old news was the new and funny trailer of Borderlands 2. it is called Borderlands2: Wimoweh trailer. in this trailer, you see the environment of Borderlands2 with a song that reminds you to the Lion King :p Check the link below to see the trailer.

This was Gamelight for this week, I hope you like and ( if you can) tell about what you guys think of the trailer.

Inside the Gamer: week 3

First of all I want to show respect to all the victims in Aurora,Colorado. When I saw the news, I was totally shocked about it. I can't understand why someone do this and why they dear to compare to a villain in a movie. Those people just ruin the lives of many and ruin the fanbase of those movies. A second thing I want to say is that I support the 2 Belgian men who were severly damaged because they are gay. I'm not gay but that doesn't mean that I can't show some respect. A good friend of me is gay and I can't think if something like that happens to him.

That was the sad part of this blog let's go to happier stuff. This week I chilled with some friends, we had a lot of fun( like always :p) . it was like the time flew away because it didn't felt like I was there for hours. Some other thing I did was celebrating my birthday for my family :D My birthday isn't the 21st of July, it is the 26th of July :p So if you guys like to send some congratulations you can send them to Jacktechh@gmail.com ( haha :p)

As you can see, I didn't do anything special this week ( sorry ). Next week, there will be nice weather in Belgium so I hope I can give you more entertaining :p See you guys next week and Game On!

Funzies: isn't he an awesome dad?

Some time ago there was a father who painted a room for its newborn son. Nothing special you would say but what if I tell you he painted the room in a Zelda theme :o ( I wish I had that room :p)

The name of this father is Cole Bradburn. He painted this room to express creativity, adventure and discovery, this is the feeling he had in the Zelda games. Actually it wasn't Bradburn that drawn this room, it was a friend of him who painted the room and it wasn't his first time. The artist already made a Yoshi theme room for its daughter.

If you want to see the progress of this masterpiece, check the link below ;)

The AlphaGameBet: The "B" for Bioshock

This topic will provide some old and new games. Each week I talk about a game that begins with the letter of the alphabet. And this week it is the "B".


It is a serie that I don't know much about but I'm trying my best to tell you about the gameserie: Bioshock. Bioshock is a first-person shooter from 2007 made by 2K, this game was on PC, Xbox360 and Playstation3. This isn't a normal shooter like Battlefield or Call of duty oooh no, this is some different stuff.

The setting is in 1960 in a secret the underwatercity Rapture, this is where the player begins playing but what is the story of this game? I'm not gonna tell everything but what I know about the game is that in Rapture there was a civil war for some stuff that is called Adam. This is something that makes the human better/powerfull.

In your adventure you discover some Adam, some enemies and secrets of Rapture and the civil war in Rapture. Sometimes in the game you see monsters called Big Daddy and Little sisters. What they do in Rapture you will find out in Bioshock 1 and Bioshock2( yeah there is 2 of them :p). In bioshock 2 you play as a Big daddy and see Rapture through his eyes.

There will come another Bioshock called Bioshock infinite. It will be relaesed in 2013 but I don't know anything about that ( sorry for that)

This was the letter "B" for this week and maybe I should really play this game so i can give you better and more inforamtion :p

GameLight: Assassins creed III

In this topic, I will give you some information about upcoming games. This can be new trailers, new info,pre-order extras etc... So it is posible to see games more than once. This game is an exemple of the previous sentence because Ubisoft gives us time by time more news about the new Assassins creed.


I will be honest with you guys, i didn't knew what game I must pick for this week gamelight but I chose the game that had the most wow-effect in my eyes and that is Assassins creed III.

This week was really a crazy week because Ubisoft was almost spamming information about ACIII (Assassins creed III) in the last 2 months. First there was the E3-trailer, begin of July you had the Rise-trailer and past week we some actual Singleplayer and Multiplayer footage and believe it was awesome!


In the singleplayer we saw a part of the game in the city Boston, this was 6 minutes of gamefootage. In this singleplayer you saw some of the new actions you can do as Connor and of course the fightin style of Connor.

The multiplayer wasn't that much. There was a lot of talking about the new game called Wolfpack and if you watch the video you can see the new design of the multiplayer


That was Gamelight for this week, next week I will do the other game that I didn't chose( if there isn't any spectacular of course). Check the links below to see the videos about ACIII.

Inside the Gamer week 2

A glimpse of my life, that is what you read in this post. In this post you read the things i did in the past week and we are now at week 2.


This week was a week to look back too. I had a lot of fun with my friends this week.A friend of me came back from a holiday and he wanted to do something with his friends. We didn't do much but that doesn't mean you can't have fun :p We went to a cinema to watch a movie and the movie we chose was 21 Jump street. i don't know if you guys know the movie but you need to check him out becuase I laughed so hard that I tought I pissed myself xD.

Friday I played runescape but with a clan where I"m in we had an awesome party. We did this because the leaders of the clan reached max lvl in the same skill on same time. After celebrating this there was a treasure hunt. The one who found it, is a real-life friend of me and he won 2mile gold ( that is 2 million).

In the weekend not much happend some gaming of course because the weather in Belgium didn't get any better. Can someone send Belgium some sun please? We need it.

This is what happend in the past week. I don't know what next week will bring but we will see ^^ See you guys later and remeber Game On!

Minecraft with iJustine :D!!!!

Hello everybody

As you can read in the title I played minecraft in Ijustine's server :D !!!! I tought she was online but then I realized she was a comic-con. I was really excited to see what all the fans of her builded and believe me it was nice.

After some time in the server, there were some idiots who destroyed everybodys work. They destroyed the iJustine sign, burned everybodys houses and that kind of stuff. I understand that there are people who hate that she gets famous and have millions of fans but that doesn't mean you have to ruin the fun for everyone. I mean they work really to let her see how much they love her( maybe in a creepy stalky way :p just kiddin' )

I hope that I see iJustine tommorow in her Minecraft-server and if not, so be it ;) It is already a hard work to get in her server, so I can be proud of myself to acomplish that already :p

Maybe this is a silly post but I want to let you guys know what i'm doing ( not everything of course for example when I go to the toilet and stuff :p )

I hope you guys have as much fun as I do in the vacation and remember Game On!

Funzies: some gamer humor :p

appropriate for Belgium at the moment ( or other rainy countries ) :p

the nightmare for every gamer

not always. Sometimes they begin from the last checkpoint ;)

true that :D

don't try this at home !

this is the big truth ;)

Jack Techs: Microsoft Surface

In this topic, it is all about technology from some technology pictures from the future or new releases in the world of technology.


The first kind of technology that I like to talk about is the Microsoft Surface. This is a tablet PC from Microsoft and it isn't just a tablet.

Some time ago, Microsoft released the first real competition for Apple and these are the specifications for this tablet : ARM-processor from Nvidia, 2 USB-ports, a socket for a MicroSD card, a screen diagonal of 10.6inches, 2 dualband WiFi antennas, built-in HDMI, a support leg and a front & rear-facing camera. All of this provides a 9.3 mm housing for a weight about 675 grams. All of this is supported by Microsoft of course. there will be a 32-bit and a 64-bit version.

Each of the tablets will be provided with a colourfull keyboard, there will be 5 different colours. The design and the specifactions are nice but we will have to wait when they come in the markets, only then we can say if these tablets are a competition for the Ipad.

The AlfhaGameBet: The "A" for Amnesia:the dark descent

This topic will provide some old and new games. Each week I talk about a game that begins with the letter of the alphabet. And this week it is the "A".


I talk a lot about the new stuff but the old stuff isn't that bad, for example: Amnesia: The Dark Descent. This is an old pc horror game where you are wandering around in a castle... ALONE with a creepy monster who is chasing you.

The story is all about Daniel who has erased it memory execpt for 1 thing: Kill Alexander. In this game you will find out why he has erased his memory and why he needs to kill Alexander. This game is played by al most every game because of the adrenaline you get from this game. It is scary with a lot of fright moments but that is is just the drive to go through. I played it with friends of mine and that makes it even more fun. I defintily recommend it just for the adrenaline kick and the fun you will have with friends.

This was the first AlphaGameBet and I hope you guys like playing Amnesia: The Dark Descent. and have some scary moment :p

If it didn't get any better

Hello guys

Yesterday I blogged about going to an amusement park with my nephew but thanks to the weather in Belgium( again -_-) we didn't go. Instead we went to the cinema, we watched the new Spider-Man movie which was a great one, with a much deeper story then the others and with a little bit of humor in it. When we get out of the cinema it was raining very hard so we got wet in the car.

Then when I came home, I got another bad news. Me and my mom need to move out of our flat, we get 3 months to search another one. Luckly we had an other flat in mind but still it isn't that simple.

Even after all this I still think positive because I always think about one predicate:  when we hit our lowest point, we are opened to the greatest change. And with that in mind I always think things will get better ;)

GameLight: Transformers Fall of Cybertron

In this topc, I will give you some information about upcoming games. This can be new trailers, new info,pre-order extras etc... So it is posible to see games more than once.


The first game in Gamelight is the upcoming game: Transformers Fall of cybertron. This is a sequel from the first game: Transformers War for cybertron. In this game the autobots prepare for a large evacuation but Decepticons are trying to stop that for there own purpose.

But what is the new information about this game? Well there are 2 new things. The first of the 2 is that the release date has been brought forward to 24th of August instead of 31th of August for Europe and for Amerika it has been set on 21st of August. If that isn't good news ;) The 2nd news is that High Moon studios  released a new trailer called Through the Matrix, you can't see much in the trailer but it is just awesome for any other transformer fan :)

That was Gamelight for this week, I hope you guys liked it and I will see you next week.

Inside the Gamer: Week 1

Here is some news about my daily life.

This week wasn't a special week. A lot of gaming and boringness drived my week with special thanks to the bad weather in Belgium( exept for Friday and Saturday), my friends on vacation and doing some student job.
I also abought a new game called Resistance 3, I bought by an action from the GameMania. I only need to trade 2 old games so that I got it for free :D If that isn't a nice deal.

This was a grip of my life, next week more stuff about me :D
