This is Issue No. II of our Weekly Digest! You can still check out last week's issue in case you missed it. Remember, you can follow the links below to read more information on each subject. Here are this week's highlights collated from November 15 to November 21, 2015:
Local News
‣ Moco Moco Friends Now Available Locally
Did you enjoy Yo-Kai Watch and are you currently waiting for the next iteration of Pokemon? Don't worry, Moco Moco Friends will definitely satisfy your creature-befriending needs! Give this cutesy RPG a try, will ya'?
‣ Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon Now Available Locally
Speaking of Pokemon, the dungeon crawler spin-off finally arrived! Pikachu arrived late because he got stuck commuting in the midst of the APEC summit. As the saying goes, better late than never! In addition, people who will purchase the physical retail copy of Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon before December 6 will also get a download code for a free Nintendo 3DS Home theme. The code is located at the reverse side of the game's cover sleeve. This promo also applies to the digital copy of the game.
‣ Error Code: 003-2101
After more than one week of searching and 300+ Proxy Values later, we finally found a replacement for Proxy Alpha. The sad thing was it only worked for 5 hours before it totally went down. Aside from the Proxy Method, the only solution for Error Code 003-2101 is to use another Internet Service Provider (eg: tether mobile data from SMART/Globe through your smartphones) altogether. We're planning on moving Oplan Sagip PLDT to Phase 2 sometime this week.
