Unblock League of Legends with FreeVPN

Recently, Riot Games signed a partnership deal to a Southeast Asian game distribution company, which in turn caused the maker of the hit online RPG League of Legends to drop support for Southeast Asian clients. This means that gamers from Southeast Asia will not be able to access the game anymore, since geographical IP mapping will let the LoL servers know of the origin of the client.

What’s more, it’s been a few weeks now and still, there’s no news of the Southeast Asian version of LoL.

But thankfully, since the LoL server checks the origin of the client based on their IP’s geographical address, I’ve found a way to unblock it.

CydiaCrawler a lifesaver for those without WiFi

Posted by Francis Panganiban on April 2nd, 2010

Cydia Crawler

So you have a jailbroken iPod Touch or iPhone. That’s cool. But what’s it without all the jailbroken apps? If you don’t have a WiFi connection at home or anywhere near, and you don’t fancy Cyder either — then CydiaCrawler will soon become your best friend (it already has become mine).

For those who aren’t in the loop, Cydia is the AppStore equivalent of jailbreaking. It has literally hundreds of freely downloadable apps which have either been rejected from the AppStore or are just far too awesome to be there. But of course, to access Cydia, you’ll need an internet connection, and the iPod Touch and the iPhone would have so via WiFi (or in iPhone, 3G and EDGE), and in your case, you don’t have any of those.

In this guide, we’ll teach you how to get your app from Cydia, without WiFi, and install it on your iDevice. (more…)

Last week, I got an iPod touch 2G; fresh out of the box, factory defaults. So I loaded up some songs and started listening right away. However, after stumbling across various weblogs and forums discussing the greener grass on the jailbroken side, I decided to give it a try myself. Of course, I ran to some trouble during my first tries, but after a few more I was successfully able to jailbreak my pod.

For all those eager to load up cool stuff on their iPod’s, read on now. The complete and easy steps after the jump. (more…)

IceFrog Leaves Dota-Allstars.com

Yesterday, May 15 2009, I read on a circular bulletin released by Garena at Friendster.com that IceFrog has left Dota-Allstars.com. Shocked and somehow intrigued by this news, I decided to visit IceFrog’s Blog to see his official statements on this issue. Here’s what he said:

As a result of some differences, I am no longer affiliated with the dota-allstars.com website. I want to take this opportunity to wish everyone over there the best of luck in the future.

However, on another part of the same post, IceFrog confirmed that this does not mean that he will discontinue development of DotA. In fact, he stated that he plans to continue development for at least 2 more years.

On another part of his post, IceFrog said that he is planning to start a new community for DotA, this time under his administration. Because of this, he is looking for people who can help him in all ends of foruming, including technical support, programming, web development, and graphics design.

Could IceFrog leaving Dota-Allstars.com have a great impact on the community? Or could IceFrog’s new community benefit members much more than Dota-Allstars.com did? We hope we’ll hear from him soon.
