A place to talk

Posted by Acid on Feb. 18, 2013, 10:42 a.m.

My english professor is babbling on about design principals right behind me. He's not a bad guy, but he's boring. At least I can go to websites while he's talking. :\

This is just going to be a short blog containing my current thoughts - disregard this if you'd like.

I have like 15 Dota 2 keys if anybody still wants one

I wish that I had more time to put into my game jam game before the deadline but I had to keep leaving to help Finn and Abbey because Abbey is still in pain from THE EVENT and she can't really get up and I'm not going to be a douche and say "God, Abbey I'm making video games go take care of Finn and leave me alone." And I had homework. But I am already working on fleshing it out more - I had a bunch of ideas of what could go on, scoring systems, and backgrounds.

I need to play Lykan.

I'll probably talk more later.

DotA 2 has so much micromanaging that it overwhelms me a bit. But now that I hear so many people have the game, I'd like to have a DotA 2 night when we can all fuck around on the game together.

I have Dota 2 but they never give me any keys because I've never actually started the game =p

Oh don't get me wrong. I hate dota2 as much as I hate LoL.

My brother has been playing Dota2 religiously for the last year and a bit. Over his uni break he racks up a minimum of 10 hours a day. It's fucking eating away his life.

He's tried getting me to play it, but I just don't find it very appealing. The mouse controls feel like a step backwards for me.

I used to play LoL almost fanatically, which is something I rarely do. At some point I noticed I had started to prioritize the game over real life events, so I stopped playing. The problem with these kinds of games is that a round can take between 30-60 minutes, with no way to quit or take a break without ruining the game for everyone involved.

I only play LoL late at night when I know I won't be doing anything else, and even then I only play at most 3 games each week.

I like LoL, just not enough to commit to it all the time.

DotA2 seems interesting, but I don't think I'll be investing much time into it if I get it, so I'll pass.

I'm still downloading it, piece by piece.

I used to play DOTA competitively back when it was still a Warcraft 3 mod. Had a steep learning curve, but I recall it being fun.

remind me to never make anything that involves abbreviations cause this is just confusing. you guys are all "Dota and LoL" and i'm just like "WtF"

i'm just gonna play Lykan later cause i know it doesn't stand for anything T_T

Giving away a Dota key?

Cool cool cool.

By the way Acid, I've taken care of bunches of newborns - if you need any tips, I can be of service.

I hate this class… he's now showing us how to use headers, pictures, and text boxes in Word! :O

I'm learning so goddamn much. I love that I'm paying for this class.
