Starcraft 2 Key - KR Ladder

Korea - the mecca of eSports and Starcraft.

Thousands of professional Starcraft 2 players have always wanted to play on the Korean Starcraft 2 servers in order to play with the best Starcraft 2 players in the world but a Korean SC2 account was being sold at hundreds of dollars via auction sites.

Example: Korean Starcraft 2 Account Ebay Price = 100 to 120 USD

Seeing this discrepancy, Blizzard Entertainment merged the Korean and Taiwanese Starcraft 2 servers together which allowed Taiwanese Starcraft 2 accounts access to the Korean SC2 ladder.

Play like Slayers Boxer on the Korean ladder!

The cheapest English site selling legitimate Starcraft 2 KR CD keys (TW) is RTSDealer.

The Atchucan Gaming team fully recommends RTS Dealer if you're interested in playing on the KR SC2 ladder. (Other English sites overprice them.)

So if you have around 59 USD to spare and you're serious at getting better in Starcraft 2, get a Korean / Taiwanese SC2 account right this instant!

Buy Korean Starcraft 2 Account / Key
(rtsdealer.com - Official KR / TW SC2 accounts retailer)

p.s.
Tell RTS Dealer that we recommended you. ;)

Once you become bonjwa / gosu, Korean girls will flock to you.

Street Fighter Hyper Real Artworks

Here at Atchucan Gaming, we only feature the coolest stuff to show to our readers.
Today we feature Kode (Dabosslogic.com) with his Street Fighter Hyper Real Artworks.

In an interview with InfiniteContinues, Kode said:

I wanted to show all the fans a different side to the characters they have grown up with, just like I have. I have been a fan of Street Fighter since the first game came out; I fell in love with Street Fighter ever since that day.

Take a look at these Hyper real versions of some iconic Street Fighter characters.

Balrog (M. Bison? lol) getting pumped up for Fight Night.

Sagat - the SF character that started it all.

Guile - our favorite artwork from Kode (Boss Logic)

Kode Abdo is from Melbourne, Australia.

NBA 2K11 - Greatest Basketball Game of All Time

When we're not playing games, we play sports and basketball is the name of the game. And this year, 2KSports brings both those interests together with NBA 2K11.

Quick NBA 2K11 Game Information:

Game Title: NBA 2K11
Developer: Visual Concepts
Publisher: 2K Sports
Date Released (North America): October 5, 2010

Quick rundown:
- Well-detailed, almost realistic gameplay
- Broadcasting is nice (makes you feel like you're actually watching a game on TV)
- As always, soundtracks are a highlight for these types of games
- Jordan mode (one of the main highlights of the game)

NBA 2K11 Platforms:
Xbox, PS3, PS2, PC, Wii, PSP

*If you're planning to buy this game, we recommend the following platforms:
Xbox, PS3 and PC

Atchucan Recommendations
If you're both an NBA fan and a gamer, then this game is a must-buy.
Afterall, how often can you get Michael Jordan on a NBA game cover these days?
And of course, this is from 2KSports and not from EA so you already know it's going to be a relatively good product.


Overall, this is the sports game of the year. If you're feeling nostalgic for some MJ 23, then this game would be extra special for you. We suggest buying 2 copies. One to play with your homies and another one to keep in mint condition. We think this is definitely collector's item material. And yeah, you can probably get a lot of cash in the future if you sell it a couple of decades later.

Pokemon Live Action Fan Movie Trailer

Pokémon Apokélypse: Live Action Fan Trailer

Disclaimers before proceeding:
Please do take note that Pokemon Apocalypse (Apokelypse) is a fan film trailer.
*It is not a real movie trailer for an upcoming live-action Pokemon movie.

The trailer contains a violent and dark theme.
*This is definitely not suitable for very young Pokemon fans.

Movie Poster for the fictional Pokemon movie.

Without further ado, here is the fake Pokemon movie trailer from Youtube:



Some fun facts:
This fan made Pokemon video trailer was directed by Barry Liu.
Kial Natale (Executive Producer) plays an older Brock.
Lee Majdoub plays a grown-up Ash Ketchum.

The people here at Atchucan Gaming hope that the viral reaction for this Pokemon fan made video would generate enough interest to compel a Japanese studio to make a real-life Pokemon movie.

*We don't really think Hollywood film studios have what it takes to make awesome anime to live-action movie conversions.

What can you say about this video?
Would you be interested in a real Pokemon film?

Atchucan Music: Urbandub

Atchucan Music: Urbandub

Here at the Atchucan headquarters, we don't only talk about gaming, tv shows or hot girls. The Atchucan team also share the love for music. Every time we hang out at the Atchucan HQ, each of us in the team submits a dozen tracks which would be included in the playlist. The Atchucan playlist is then played the whole day.

That way, we get exposed to different types of music and become educated musically. Now, we are gonna take that musical education online here at the Atchucan blog so that you guys won't be left behind . For our first feature, we have decided to go indie with Urbandub.

Urbandub started out in 2000 with humble beginnings. But with that progressive sound, their music has snowballed a cult following there in Asia. Simple text won't accurately depict their addictive sound, so why don't you just go forth and listen to an Urbandub song.


P.S. Urbandub has a new album called "The Apparition"
Check it out! You definitely won't regret it.

IronMan 2

Here at Atchucan Gaming, we all agree that Ironman was the best Marvel movie ever created. And for all of us who watched the brilliant 1st movie, we all knew that a sequel was imminent.

This 2010, Tony Stark will don his metallic suit once again in IRONMAN 2.
Robert Downey Jr. was great in the 1st movie, we expect nothing less on the second.

Here's a little message from Tony Stark himself:

Atchucan is giving away Heroes of Newerth keys

Since we've been talking a whole lot about the Dota genre lately on the NinjaSpartans blog, the members of the Atchucan gaming team feel that it's time to give away some Heroes of Newerth beta keys to our subscribers as a way of saying thanks for all the support you guys have given to us.

Why Heroes of Newerth beta keys?
There was a big clamor for HON Beta Keys on our Atchucan article for Heroes of Newerth. So, we think it's just appropriate to give you guys a chance to get into the beta.

(Note: DBG means DotA Based Game as RPG is to Role Playing Game)
It's a genre that sprung up thanks to Icefrog's popular Warcraft 3 map called DotA.

Only Atchucan subscribers are qualified to enter the contest. So if you're not yet in, you can type in your e-mail add so that we can send the Heroes of Newerth beta keys there.

Delivered by Atchucan Gaming

Just answer these 2 DotA related questions on the comment section:
a) Who is your favorite DotA hero?
b) What is the reason why you like that hero?

You can also answer through Twitter by replying @atchucan
Don't forget the #heroesofnewerth hashtag!

The Lord Of The Rings

As one of the most epic movies of all time, Peter Jackson's adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of The Rings has converted hordes of people to learn more about Middle Earth.

Filmed in beautiful New Zealand, this film trilogy shows to us grand landscape scenes and epic battles that simply take the viewers' breath away. And now it's on Bluray!


Witness the adventures of Frodo, Legolas and Aragorn as they embark on a journey in a world of Orcs, Elves and men. For those who didn't know, it was J.R.R. Tolkien who inspired Blizzard's successful franchise, "Warcraft."

The films may be quite long but it ultimately pays off. Our recommendation? Peter Jackson's LOTR trilogy is a must-watch.

League of Legends

If you've read about the Atchucan article about Heroes of Newerth, then this feature about another DotA based game might interest you.

League of Legends is a game developed by Riot Games.
In LOL (acronym for League of Legends), a player takes on the role of a Summoner which is a persistent element to the game. The Summoner can summon heroes called "Champions" to fight for them in battle arenas where the aspects taken from the original Warcraft 3 mod called DotA All-Stars are played out.

The best news about it? League of Legends will be a free to play online game.
That means you don't have to spend a single dime to have an advantage over other gamers.
Just download the game for free and you're good to go.
*The game developers are encouraging League of Legends (LOL) torrents.

Official League of Legends website: http://leagueoflegends.com

FYI:
League of Legends belongs to the DotA genre - an emerging gaming genre applying to all games heavily inspired by DotA AllStars.

Heroes of Newerth

If you've played the Warcraft 3 custom called DotA All-Stars then this news might be something you'll be interested in.

Heroes of Newerth is a game created by S2 games that literally takes DotA All-Stars body and soul from the Warcraft 3 engine to it's own engine not restricted by Blizzard Entertainment.

Icefrog commented on the issue of a game copying DotA with this statement:

They contacted me a few years ago to ask if I had any objections to them doing a game heavily based on DotA, which I didn't. I don't really mind all these new games (6 total now I think), competition is a good thing in the long run. I will still work hard to develop and improve DotA on WC3 for everyone that is still interested in it.

As you can see in the screenshot below, HoN is DotA All-Stars 2.0.

Looks familiar?
