Guild Wars 2 LFG App now available on mobile!

iOS: coming soon

I personally think that these anime are the most tear jerking and sad for me:

1. Anohana: The flower we saw that day
2. Clannad
3. Air
4. Elfen Lied
5. Tokyo Magnitude 8.0
6. Da Capo
7. Angel Beats
8. Grave of the Fireflies

May have more but could not remember them.

Eh.. Lol it was not random. Took a considerable amount of time to decide on the Guild name. The meaning of the word and uniqueness factor were taken into part of the consideration. Also preferred a simple and short name instead of "watever of watever" etc. Not really easy to find a Guild name that has a decent meaning which is not commonly used by others. Names like "Genesis", "Myrmidon", "Elite", "Gladiators", etc are waaaaaaaaaay too common.

I thought HK also very anime orientated. AFA should also branch out to HK!

I am a Singaporean. I created the Guild/ founded the Einsof Community. Hope this answers your question.

Ok  So why choosing a Hebrew word instead of a Chinese one ? I mean that you probably have many Chinese words that mean "endless/unending/infinite" isn't it ? 

As mentioned, I just like the word and the meaning that's all. Besides, it is quite a unique word which people seldom see/ read or know. I also wanted something unique from the rest. Hebrew or whatever other languages is not really my cause for concern.

Einzo you will play with us during the CBT 2?

Yes.

Hahahaha.. mohan singh

SINGAPORE: Transport Minister Lui Tuck Yew said on Thursday public transport fare adjustments, due next year, will take into account the need to raise bus drivers' wages.

Mr Lui was speaking for the first time in the aftermath of the illegal strike by bus drivers from China last week, and said public transport cost increases over the years have outpaced fare adjustments.

He was trying out the route of a new service on Thursday under the government's billion-dollar Bus Service Enhancement Programme.

Mr Lui said the 34 Chinese bus drivers out of work from SMRT due to the strike make up only about 0.5 per cent of the total pool of 8,000-odd drivers.

Therefore, the impact on bus enhancements should be minimal.

What's of concern, however, is the lingering effect of the strike on recruitment and retention of bus drivers, and Mr Lui said the government is watching this carefully.

Looking at public transport fare adjustments of past years, Mr Lui said while fares have increased by 0.3 per cent, costs in fuel and wages for instance have gone up by 30 per cent.

He said the fare review committee recognises this "significant mismatch".

Mr Lui said: "Any fare adjustment will allow the two operators to have more resources, in time to come, to make further salary adjustments to their drivers. We recognise that the drivers need to be paid more. (The) question is, where is that money coming from?

"So we need to see the relationship between any fare adjustment, wage increase, and any other forms of government support that we might be required to give to the operators."

Mr Lui said it is difficult to wean dependence off foreign bus drivers as Singaporeans may not want to take up the job.

So salary adjustments, at least, will make the occupation more attractive to locals.

He said previous salary adjustments have helped to increase the recruitment of drivers, both local and foreign.

When asked whether SMRT should face any penalty as a result of the strike, Mr Lui said the operator will be evaluated according to quality of service standards.

Impact on bus services as a result of the two-day strike will be taken into account.

Mr Lui said he also spoke to SMRT's Chief Executive Desmond Kuek on the strike, and said the organisation needs to improve in many areas.

He said Mr Kuek needs to be given time to turn things around.

From December 16, two new SBS Transit bus services will start plying under the Bus Service Enhancement Programme.

Service 50, which will start service on December 16, will cover Ang Mo Kio, Yio Chu Kang, Sengkang and Punggol.

Express Service 513 will start on December 17, connecting residents of Tampines to the Central Business District. This service only runs during the morning and evening peak period on weekdays.

In addition, four new bus services will be added to the bus network in the first quarter of 2013.

Three of them come under the government's enhancement programme, while the other is a trunk service by SBS Transit at its own cost.

Haha I can only hope so it will improve but I doubt it will.

 

Will our 3G/ 4G network improve after this? Or just wayang?

SINGAPORE: The Infocomm Development Authority (IDA) has fined the three mobile operators S$10,000 each for not meeting Quality of Service (QoS) Standard.

M1, SingTel and StarHub did not comply with the QoS Standard for nationwide outdoor areas for 3G mobile telephone services in September 2012.

Under the QoS standard, at least 99 per cent service coverage must be provided.

In its decision, IDA took into consideration the more stringent QoS standard for outdoor service coverage, which was recently increased on 1 April 2012.

It said the mobile operators did not comply because they included new testing areas that were accessible largely by foot only.

IDA said this is a more stringent measurement, compared with past tests that relied primarily on nationwide drive tests.

[Those of you who have still yet to try Hawken can do so starting on December 12th, when the game will be made available worldwide.]

Adhesive Games has checked their fuel levels, re-supplied their Tow Launchers and generally primed their engines all in preparation for the release of their upcoming Mech FPS, Hawken. After having had a successful few rounds of closed beta testing, Adhesive has decided their new FPS is finally ready for all mech-pilots. Those of you who have still yet to try Hawken can do so starting on December 12th, when the game will be made available worldwide.

The term “Open Beta” has in recent years has in many cases unofficially marked the actual release of the game, with players able to start progressing without fears of further beta wipes. Hawken’s original release date was set for December 12th and now it seems the official launch will be delayed until early 2013.

The good news is Adhesive Games seems committed to staying in touch with the communities feedback. According to Hawken’s Lead animator Chris Lalli: “Open beta is our chance to implement all the good feedback we’ve gotten from closed beta players on the forums, and deliver the changes the community wants to see.”
