The Soul Calibur IV fever just increases every day. I still feel way far from the level I could call competitive, but I am not giving it up at all.

Last week, I received my copy of the official Soul Calibur IV guide. Needless to say that I have been devouring it since day. I wish I could learn by osmosis or anything similar. Amy is a new character, so it feels like that there is a long way ahead of me before I become a badass with her.

The other news is that my glasses are ready and I finally picked my iPhone.

Even though I do not need any corrective glasses, due to the constant use of computers (at work and at home) and the LCD TV for gaming, I was getting constant headaches and sore eyes. I was not even sleeping well anymore. I was really glad when they called me last Friday saying that I could pick up my glasses. I am not exaggerating when I say that I feel a lot better now. It has been only a little more than a day, but I don't have pain anymore and have been sleeping like a baby.

I still have to wait until the 10th of September to start using the 3G features of my iPhone, but I am already more than excited about it so far. Mine is a white one. It is awesome to be able to be in touch with everyone all the time. Mainly for me whose friends are at least on the other side of the ocean...

I hope you are all enjoying yourselves and having a great time!

*cheers*

Hi everyone,

I have been away, I know. This time however, I might have been away from blogging but closer to gaming.

I have mentioned some times that the lack of free of time is a constant in my life so, I have to choose my activities. At the moment, there is one that is taking away all of my free time (and I am doing it with a lot of pleasure) and it is playing Soul Calibur IV.

You probably already know that I am loving that game, but what you may not know is that we are starting a PMS|H2O Soul Calibur IV Division and after sending my application and being interviewed, I was chosen as the division's Co-Leader. Man! I couldn't be happier than that.

Needless to say that I am keeping myself busy with it.

I finally made up my mind about the character I will be working on and it is Amy. It is not an easy task if compared to Talim, for example, but I am enjoying the challenge. ^_^

If you would like to join our Division, please visit the PMS Clan forums and let us know about your interest. We have practices at different times of the day to welcome gamers from all over the globe.

Have a great time!

Every month, on the PMS Clan site, there are members who are interviewed for the Spotlight Gamer session of the site.

This month, PMS EU has its 3 leaders featured.

I really recommend you reading what Krystal PMS, Uteena PMS and Armaggedon H2O have to say. They are great players and amazing people.

Test Drive Alienware and XPS Desktops and Notebooks and Play the Hottest Games on the Dell Intel Extreme Gaming Tour

Last update: 10:04 a.m. EDT July 30, 2008

MIAMI, Jul 30, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- You've waited all summer, and finally, you can hear it - the familiar rumble of 18 wheels of smack talk, frags and pwnage that can mean only one thing: once again, the Dell(R) Intel(R) Extreme Gaming Tour is coming to town. And, just like last time, the tour truck is loaded down with all of the latest award-winning Dell Gaming gear for you to play with. This is your chance to step aboard the tour truck and test drive Dell Gaming's premier Alienware Area-51(R) ALX and Alienware Area-51(R) desktops as well as the Area-51 m15x and Area-51 m17x notebooks. You'll also have the opportunity to take the Dell XPS(TM) 630, XPS 730, XPS M1730 and XPS M1730 World of Warcraft edition for a whirl.

Getting your hands on these killer Dell Gaming systems should be enough to cure your summertime blues, but if you're hungry for more (and of course you are), you can also check out the PMS Clan, which will be representing Alienware at Quakecon, Penny Arcade Expo and BlizzCon. Watch in awe as they show the n00bs what an Alienware can do in the hands of a professional. Step up and test your skills against members of PMS Clan, Alienware's officially-sponsored gaming clan, in some of today's most popular titles.

And since it's impossible to talk about "extreme gaming" without mentioning modding, check out the Extreme Gaming Tour Modding Contest, which offers a fully-loaded Alienware Area-51 desktop as 1st Prize.

"When it comes to high-end PC gaming rigs, Dell Gaming is known for 'bringing it,'" says Claudina Lopez, Marketing Manager at Alienware, "and, with the Dell Intel Extreme Gaming Tour truck, we're bringing it straight to you. Not only are we showing off some amazing, award-winning systems, this marks the first joint appearance between Alienware and PMS Clan. It's going to be a lot of fun for all the fans out there."

"Intel and Dell Gaming have always worked closely to provide gamers with the highest-performing equipment possible," Doug Parker, Director of Marketing for America's Sales and Marketing Group. "The Extreme Gaming Tour gives users a chance to experience first-hand the raw performance of Alienware and XPS systems powered by Intel processors."
