	<description><![CDATA[The waiting is finally coming to an end. The fans of Diablo have waited for a good 12 years for this latest Diablo release, and yes we will all get the game on 15th May 2012. I must say I can't wait to try out the classes and the features of the new game (more info can be found on their site), e.g. the artisans with a 'levelling' option. Five classes to try and I'm not so …]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[The week of 13th Feb was the Social Media Week, and coincidentally Singapore Polytechnic also had their 2nd Media & Comms Conference during that week. The lecturer told me the timing was coincidental, and so I take her word for it. Their theme for the conference is 'Click to connect', quite apt for the current social media space.  A large group attended the event, with …]]></description>

	<link>http://ping.sg/item/Triple-Town---What-Next-After-Floating-Castle-</link>
	<dc:creator>balrulto</dc:creator>
	<description><![CDATA[After numerous games of Triple Town, I finally managed to get a floating castle (formed from three castles). Of course, my high score of 377 185 is nothing compared to other seasoned players. Some forum postings indicated that this is the 'ultimate' object in the Triple Town, i.e. no more objects to be formed from combining floating castles.   However, when I moused over the …]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Recent days I've been spending some precious nights playing an extremely addictive game - Triple Town! It is a simple game created by Spry Fox, and indeed simple games are the ones that insidiously sapped away long hours without me even realising it! I'm not that good a player, and thus I've only achieved 85,860 points in Triple Town.   The concept of Triple Town is simple - …]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Trade Nations update 3.3 has been released for a few days now. This time round Trade Nations has introduced a touch of Far East by adding a number of new oriental theme shops / items.
