Viwawa: Sushido Game Guide

Posted in: Game Reviews
05 May 2008

Have you ever tried the Viwawa game called ‘Sushido‘? That is one of my favourite games in Viwawa. Reasons being:

1. It’s not so brainless

2. It can take a minimum of 2 players

3. It’s hilarious to see how the customers flare up in anger when you don’t satisfy their orders

I personally don’t like the other games because either they are too ’stressful’ for me or you need a minimum of 3 players to play the game.

The purpose of this post is to elaborate on the simple game rules of Sushido. Having the need to explain to my friends over IM is really frustrating without something to refer to. I hope you will find this simple MsSheepy’s very own guide useful.

Here goes…  once you click on the Live button to get into Sushido, you will be prompted to select a channel. For me, i will select the very first channel for Newbies and will be greeted by the following screen. Your avatar will appear on the bottom left corner of the page.

My Viwawa badges

Posted in: Game Reviews
25 Apr 2008

I was amazed to know how cute the badges are. I even saw badges for loses also. :) Don’t be fooled by the badges though. Behind the cutey face, there’s actually a highly skilled player, especially for the Big2.5. I can’t play Big for nuts so how can i actually gotten myself 10 wins?

*giggles*

However, i can proudly say that the 10 wins for Sushido are won by me personally. Thanks to a colleague who taught me the right way of playing it. I find the guide in Viwawa disgusting, and if you don’t know the game in real life, it’s really impossible to play it well just by reading their almost negligible introduction.

I am looking for 3 other players to ‘teach’ me Wahjong Classic. If any of you don’t mind playing with a complete Wahjong nut here, please add me at yuki79, and we can have a little Wahjong session. ;)

I cant play games for nuts. Most of the times, my hands and the brain doesn’t seemed to be able to coordinate well and i ended up losing in all the games that i played. A friend of mine introduced me to this game called Viwawa. The name of the website is catchy, because the ‘wawa’ means ‘little doll’ in Chinese. So this caught me, and i signed up an account with it last night.

As i am feeling particularly stressed up this week; especially with all the classes and drafting of module curriculum, i decided to give this online site a try.

Much to my disappointment, all the games required the use of the BRAIN. There are practically no brainless games in the list. So in the end, i spent my time playing Sushi Do and MatchIT. MatchIT is the worst and i can safely conclude that my memory is in fact failing me. I did well for the 4×4 matrix but done horribly for the 8×8 memory matrix. No matter how many times the cards are turn, i just cant seemed to remember anyone of them!

Well of course i will log in more often now and then for a game or two. If anyone of you are keen to play with me, do drop me an email to arrange a time.

This is my wawa and IGN :)

Maple Story Hidden Street

Remember my last Maple Story post? I have since given up playing then. My hubby is still one of those die-hard Maple fans and now he is at a freaking level of 149! The maximum game level is only 200. What a great determination he has.

The game has a hidden strategy on it’s own and it’s not merely just hitting monsters. Bad players aside, there are many great and interesting quests around. Through this game, some players could even earn real money from it! Players trade limited edition weapons, or even mesos (the game currency) in the real life.

One more link i would like to share with you. I’ve seen my hubby referenced this many times, so i just copied the URL from his browser. Haha… enjoy…

You can find many information from this site, such as:

  • Quests areas
  • Location of the various NPCs
  • Maps in the Maple world
  • List of monsters
  • List of weapons, equipments
  • Character details

Maple Story and Me

Has anyone of you tried playing Maple Story? It’s a 2D free RPG game but players have the options to buy special weapons and stuffs to enhance their game.

I created my first maple character, a warrior, two years ago and I really put in my best efforts to level up. The monsters are kind of cute to kill. One frustrating thing about playing this game is; you really have to read lots of guides to help you optimize your character strength. By the time the guides were discovered by me, my character statistics were all added wrongly. I gave up my warrior at level 38.

Okay, just to share, I find the following guide useful. (Most players probably will know this site) You can find lots of interesting ways of optimizing each maple character. It also contains guides and maps which lead to secret hidden streets in the maple land.

Months later, I created a second character, a magician. This character is more fun to play. I can hit monsters from a distance away as compared to the warrior, who requires close contact to kill a monster. However, I got irritated by younger players (I seriously hope they are young) who kept on shouting ‘kill steal’ on the map I shared. (‘Kill steal’ – stealing goodies dropped by monsters hit by other players) I finally gave up on my character at level 36.papergale.gif

I was quite happy that I had the opportunity to play maple. This little knowledge actually helped to bridge the communication gap between me and my students in class. I always made efforts to set aside time in class to discuss issues which the students can relate to me other than the subject matter.
