Pangya World Championships 2012 in Thailand photo

Do you want to know what my most played PC game is? Golf MMO Pangya United. I play it every day. I have this massive PC rig that will run anything at max settings, but I use it for golf. I am actually playing it now as I write this story. I adore this golf game and I pray that it never ends. I'll never be good enough to get into the World Championships, but that won't stop me from playing it and loving it.

The annual Pangya World Championship is set to go down during the Thailand Game Show, held in Bangkok in January. Pangya United is sending the world's top three players to the championships, and to determine that they're holding a tournament today, Friday, November 18.

The tournament is set in the game's Wiz City course, and will narrow down 600 players to the top three. Those three will go to Thailand to go up against nine other players from Japan, Korea and Thailand. Over $15,000 in prizes will be split among the winners.

Even if you don't get into the tournament, you should try out the brand new course it takes place on, Wiz City. It's nuts, and a lot of fun.

Wiz City's a fun course, but it still doesn't allow me to be actually good at the game.
I think I'm doing well with my -15 score and then nearly the entire tourney is at -17 to -35.
It's crazy.
