Back home, when we were still kids, we called this game “pik”, probably the Visayan way of saying “pick”. The game is played by two players first holding hands and then, on the count of three, releasing the hold to do a gesture of a “bato”, “papel”, or “gunting”. The rule is simple: Bato wins over gunting. Papel wins over bato. Gunting wins over papel.

And guess what? I have just learned from the Thinking Blog that there is actually a professional competition for the game complete with an annual world championship at that. This was held last October 13 in Toronto, Canada with a total of $10,000 in prize money. In the championship, a woman bested a man to become the first ever woman world champion.

Snail Game, one of the developers behind the largest MMO World to date – Dark and Light (I play that too) licensed HighStreet5 to EagleGame for U$3 Million for South-East Asia, primarily for Singapore, Philippines, and Malaysia.

It’s the best of times, it’s the worst of times for international cycling as Tour de France sets the stage for the 94^th edition of the world’s most grueling race.

In the run-up to the 2007 Tour de France, a Spanish investigation called Operation Puerto uncovered a cache of 223 blood bags from over 100 top riders, in addition to the coded notes tracking their “treatments.” The US Anti-Doping Agency, meanwhile, is set to decide next month on whether or not to strip Floyd Landis of the 2006 Tour crown. And 1996 Tour winner Bjarne Riis admitting that he had used banned drugs while competing in the ’90s.

Joining Landis under the shadow of the doping scandal are the Tour’s top echelon riders: Tyler Hamilton, Ivan Basso, and Jan Ullrich. Except for Basso, all of them have been cleared by their respective teams to race. With the Tour’s house clearing on one side and the top pro riders on the other, this year’s Tour de France gets set to climb and sprint harder than it ever did if only to bring back the integrity of the sport.

But I, for one, intend to follow the races all the same, although only in the newspapers I must add. There’s something about the Tour that one doesn’t get to see every day. That time in 1995, say, when Miguel Indurain became the first cyclist to win the Tour five consecutive times, and still said in an interview that he had “never felt superior to any one.” Or that time in 2005 when Lance Armstrong won his seventh Tour and replaced Indurain in the all-time best list. They were triumphs of the human spirit. In the same league as that of Armstrong’s victory over cancer.

Probably the London-to-Paris route of the 94^th Tour de France is a very appropriate fortuity. This year’s Tour de France is going to tell the tale of the two Tours: the one peopled by athletes of the Indurain line, and the other Tour that has become ridden by scandal.

The Philippines, Singapore, and Malaysia will have a tournament showdown this 30th May at the SM Mall of Asia, sponsored by Tycoon Synergy Experts, Inc. Invited star teams from Malaysia and Singapore are… continue reading here…
