GameWorld to Turn Vegetative
Today(8 April 2005) is my second last day at Malaysia. Tomorrow, my pc will most probably be in pieces to ease transportation to Shanghai. So it is best that I announce this today.
It is with grief that I announce killarkai's GameWorld will be in a state of coma indefinitely, starting tomorrow, thus it is unable to self generate crappy posts like it used to do.
The reason? (Everything).blogspot.com is banned in China. This means, I can't view my own page. Interestingly, there are still bloggers in China using blogspot, as the publishing domain name(www.blogger.com) is not banned.
The future of GameWorld is the same as its owner for now - unclear. Will I register a domain name for my personal page to evade the ban? Will I use another blogging service instead? Will it evolve to another name?(GameWorld always sounded like a shop at a mall selling game consoles
and pirated games, but what I meant is virtual world) Will I write about potato planting, breast feeding or nuclear science instead of video games? The answer to
all the questions above? Maybe. Like most people in coma, they may suddenly regain consciousness in the middle of a
fateful night. Or they may go the way of Terri Schiavo.
On a serious note, I hope to get back into the blogging world as soon as possible, and also use blogging as a means to keep in touch with my dear friends.
For other blogspot users, please enable full feeds(blogger -> settings -> Site feed -> publish site feed? Yes -> Descriptions? Full) so that I still can read your blogs using bloglines. Forgive me for not being able to give comments and add to your readership statistics.
Lastly, to all you readers, commenters, lurkers, blog-hoppers out there, thank you!
edit: John See's Tulips has a flowery summary on GameWorld's short life span. Thank you!

To answer your question how I hopped into your blogin your previous post, well, just say that you're linked to others. Besides that, you used killarkai for your blog, who wouldn't have find out? :p
Try other id. Maybe it will make it harder for me to find your blog.
Mian, I do sound like some lurker here.
www.killarkai.com sounds good.
time to get a domain name lar. more flexibility in what you want to do, besides just blogging. You can put your CV up just in case EA, Eidos or Sony stumbles upon it and decides that they really need someone like you...
maybe domain names/webhosters in china are far cheaper... then you can help me purchase a few too. hehehe...
p/s: too bad I can't be at klia tonite. :( i have duty on Sunday (I think weelee and sueann also won't be going) and it might not be a good idea to hang around that late.
hmm...will definitely get a domain name sooner or later, .com sounds like a commercial entity, but i have to agree it sounds better :P will research on the prices soon
square: you have a blog? whats the URL?
