The KSP Challenge

May 2010 Philippine Elections Result Predictions

KSP Challenge studies have shown that the most efficient marketing strategy is employed by Manny Villar.

With brilliant marketing on his part and poor marketing by NoyNoy Aquino's side, Manny Villar will win the Philippine presidency this 2010.

He has effectively countered all black propaganda thrown at him.
So, as long as he doesn't resort to negative campaigning/smearing of the other candidates, Manuel Villar shall be elected President of The Philippines.

Remember, it's not only the middle class/elites who are voting.

Take a look at his Social Media and see how it unfolds:

Anyways, this is a good break from all that Japeth Aguilar talk.
It would be nice if the issue will be resolved positively and the kid gets to play for the national team.

In my own opinion, it would be much better if he learned more under Toroman before signing up with a pro team. You simply can't force a player to sign up for your team if he does not want to.

Anyways, watch the game on Friday and hopefully, we can see a couple of Dominque Dunks and Jabbar sky hooks. Woot!

KSP Challenge Heroes of Newerth

From the creators of Savage 2 comes forth Heroes of Newerth.
Heroes of Newerth is a game that falls under the newly minted DBG genre.

For those unbaptized, DBG stands for DotA Based Games - standalone games based upon the popular Warcraft III mod: DotA All-Stars.

Since S2 Games is an independent gaming company, they have done their marketing for the game employing tactics on the KSP Challenge handbook.

Zero money has been spent on mainstream marketing but the game has gained a huge following.
So far, HON (Heroes of Newerth) has around a hundred thousand fans on Facebook alone.

What they've done:
1) giving away closed beta keys on various blogs/gaming websites
2) being very visible on social networking sites
3) staying away from purchasing advertisements
4) making the game available to rabid Linux and Mac fans
