Play Magic: The Gathering for free Online
Did you guys miss me? Anyway, since this website is all about online gaming, I figured quitting PW doesn't necessarily mean I'd quit here. So, I've decided to keep updating this website from time to time. I'd still include PW updates but mostly copy-pasted from the official PW Ph website and community board.
Who among you plays Magic:The Gathering? I started playing the game when I was in grade school and it was very very addictive. It still is. But with the financial crisis staring at us, only a handful of people can readily shell out 150 pesos for a booster pack, much less 10,000 pesos for a good 75 card deck.
So, is there a way to still enjoy the game without spending much? If you've got a decent internet connection, this is your answer.
Yes, there is. Its called Magic Workstation. The program allows players to play any Trading Card Game, Magic being the most popular. Other TCGs I've seen being played in it are Epic and WOW.
Ok, enough introduction. Let's go to Installation Instructions.

Philippine Basketball Fantasy: where NBA players work for you
"Look ma! I just bought Lebron James, Chris Paul and Dwight Howard!"
Unbelievable? Not necessarily. For those who dont know what Fantasy Basketball is, its a game (an online game) where you are the manager of a team that you get to build. And with PBFantasy, its not just any team, its a team of NBA Players.
Rules
1. You start with $50,000 dollars.
2. Build an 8 player team by using the 50k dollars to buy at least 2 Guards, at least 2 forwards and at least 1 center (the remaining 3 slots are for bench players)
3. Everyday, the 5 Court players will generate Fantasy Points for you. (There are 5 Court Players and 3 Bench Players. The Bench Players will not generate Fantasy Points for you. So make sure you arrange who gets the bench and who gets the board before the daily deadline.)
Every Point Made = 1 Fantasy Point
Every Rebound = 2 Fantasy Points
Every Assist = 2 Fantasy Points
Every Block = 2.5 Fantasy Points
Every Steal = 2.5 Fantasy Points
Free Throw Missed = Minus 1 Fantasy Points
Turnover = Minus 2 Fantasy Points
4. Most Fantasy Points every week gets a prize of 300 peso load.
5. Most Fantasy Points at the end of the season gets a prize (*prize still unannounced though).
And Yes! Its totally free!!!
