#Quake

Quake A successor to the developer’s hit series Doom, Quake is built upon both the technology and gameplay of its predecessor, and because of that, it has helped shape a lot of the games that we have been playing in the last two decades. Released in 1996, Quake takes every aspect of Doom that needed work and made it way better. Like Doom, Quake was influential and genre-defining, featuring fast-paced, gory gameplay, but used 3D polygons instead of sprites. This morning's 5.7 magnitude earthquake in Looc, Occidental Mindoro, has put the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council's (NDRRMC) SMS alerts in the spotlight as most of them arrived almost an hour late. In the event of an impending tropical cyclone, tsunami, earthquake, or other calamities, Mobile Phone Services Providers are mandated to send out Emergency Alert and Warning Messages at regular intervals as required by the NDRRMC and other relevant agencies; 2. In the case of earthquakes, PHIVOLCS has to collect and validate data before they forward a warning.
