| Anime and Games |
Watch the dota replay last week, seems like you guys have a lot of fun. Good, good. But Arc still a bit off sometimes, walk pass enemy just like that, Haha! The league mode game is quite balance so I suggest play league mode more often next time. All pick sometimes can lead All Disaster. Install and finish Devil May Cry 4 for the first time. Is like what Arc and Magnus said, this one is better than the last one. At least I don't need to hurt my finger by smashing the button. The devil hand is like some in game cheat just like Arc say. It is too powerful. Use it and you are invincible. After finished I unlock the Legendary Dark Knight Mode but I heard there is a Turbo Mode as well. Not sure I wanna try it, might hurt the finger.
School rumble 3rd – School Rumble OAD , OAD stand for Original Anime DVD. Is the anime release at the same time when a volume of manga is released. Just 2 episodes though.
Blade of the immortal – a lot of samurai and katana fight. It is about a immortal samurai take out a quest to kill 1000 bad guys to end his immortal torment.
Koihime musou- think of it as a Musou anime as in take in the character from dynasty warrior and make it into anime. However they are all female now so it would be something like Mai Hime.
Strike Witches – Again, an anime with a lot of girls saving the world. It resembles a lot like Sky Girls but with a few different here and there. I prefer Sky Girls because the design for the mecha is actually good. This one is just weird.

Lane Assignments
Middle Lane
In most games, middle should be the solo lane. This is because it allows for the solo to have easy access to the runes, stay relatively safe using the hill, and to be able to gank the other lanes when needed. It's also harder to get a combo to work in middle, because you have less room to chase before you get to the opposing tower. Try to put your most aggressive solo hero in middle, preferably one that can use Bottle.
---
Short Lane (Sentinel Top // Scourge Bottom)
The short lane is the scary one, the lane that you'd rather not have. The creep wave generally spends its time closer to the opposing tower, meaning that it's very easy for your opponents to come in from behind and gank you and if you get into trouble it's a long way to the safety of your tower. Therefore you should usually send your strongest lane combo (hopefully two stunners) to the short lane. Weaker pairs of heroes in the short lane tend to fed repeated ganks. Do not ever send a hero other than QoP, PotM, or Clinkz to solo the short lane, they'll die over and over.
---
Long Lane (Sentinel Bottom // Scourge Top)
The long lane is very nice, the creeps are near your tower, it's hard to gank, you have plenty of room to combo, and you can creep pull to bring the creeps back towards you if they push too far. Pretty much anything works in the long lane. It can be used to protect heroes that are very weak early, like SA. Or a hero that just wants to ricefarm for the entire earlygame and can't make good use of the ganking opportunities that middle offers with the runes. It's also perfectly good for combos, there's plenty of room to chase down your opponents in the long lane. It's sort of the "one size fits all" lane, it's often practical to figure out what the middle and the short lane need, then put whoever is left in the long lane.

Jungle
Jungling is a bit misunderstood. Some heroes like Lycan or Ursa should almost always jungle because they will farm far more quickly and safetly in it. However, many other heroes can jungle, but that doesn't mean that they should every game. Many players get trapped in the mindset of, "I know how to jungle this hero, so I'm going to!" and they don't think about what it does to their team's lanes. For example, a Centaur chooses to jungle, leaving his allied CM to solo against Viper and Ogre -- that's unwinnable for CM, she'll get flattened. If Centaur lanes with her instead, they have a very damaging combo and can probably beat the Viper and Ogre. The Centaur choosing to lane instead of jungle makes the difference between CM feeding and CM dominating the lane.
I'm not trying to discouraging jungling, but it's very important to look at your team's lanes as a whole when considering if some heroes should jungle or not.
---
Roaming
Roaming is a rather unique option that's only available to a few heroes (read: VS, Veno, Jugg, and Sven). There are two reasons that you might want to send one of those heroes on permanent ganking from level one: either you have to heroes that both need to solo or your team's lategame is good enough that gaining an early advantage for them will go a long ways towards victory.
---
Good Pairings
Okay, so we've covered what sort of heroes go in what lanes, but now how do we know what sort of heroes go together well? A few pointers (these may seem obvious, but the point here is fundamentals, I want to make sure that everyone learns this stuff. If you already know it, move on!):
-Put a ranged hero in every lane, this should be your number one goal. Double melee lanes suck.
-Stunners go well together (duh). If your team can have a pair of stunners absolutely flatten an opposing lane, that can win the game on its own.
-Put setup stunners with followup stunners. You'll get 10x the use out of your team's Lina if you put her with a hero like Sandking or Sven that can open with their own stun, to make sure that LSA will hit.
-Put heroes with bad earlygames with heroes that can spam spells to protect them. Preferably ranged heroes as well, so that they can harass while the lategamer farms. These babysitter heroes can either be healers like Warlock or Necrolyte, or they can just be heroes with dangerous spells to spam like THD. |

| New Dota Hero Ideas |
Due to excessive boredom, i thought of trying to bring out the creativity in you people. Each one of us have our own attributes whenever we play Dota with each other. All you have to do is to try to come out with Dota Heroes based on each other with reference to the said attributes. Try to make it as funny as possible. Good luck. The format must be like this:
Hero Name: (Ex: Razor, Luna, etc.)
Hero Type: (Ex: Lightning Revenant, Prophet, etc.)
Clan: (Sentinel/Scourge)
Primary Attributes: (Str/Agi/Intel)
1st Skill: (Name)
Description of Skill
2nd Skill: (Name)
Description of Skill
3rd Skill: (Name)
Description of Skill
Ulti: (Name)
Description of Skill
Here's an example:
Gopi
Noisy Clown
Scourge
Str
1st Skill: Hail of Profanities
Gopi launch a hail of profanities to enemy units lowering morale. Affected units have their movement speed slowed and will miss 20% on attacks for the next 10 seconds.
2nd Skill: Scream of Joy
Gopi lets out a scream of joy to increase team morale. Only works on friendly units. Affected units have increased attack speed and movement speed for the next 10 seconds.
3rd Skill: Tribal Call
Gopi calls out his fellow clowns from the sky to deal heavy damage to units in a targeted area. Clownfall lasts for 5 seconds.
Ulti: The Joker
Just like the legendary clown prince of crime, when activated Gopi sends out an army of killer clowns to deal massive damage to a targeted unit. Gopi gets bonus gold if the targeted unit dies within 2 seconds after the attack is dealt. |

I refreshed the GoogleEarth in these days, and I discovered that they made Debrecens satelite map more visible. If anybody wanna see the city where I live, just download (totally free) the newest GoogleEarth and search Debrecen. (the satelite picture stands two parts, a snowy southern Debrecen, and a springlike northern part HAHA)

| Games and Anime |
Finish the anime Sky Girls and it is surprisingly better than I expected. Story and character design are both good.
Try dynasty warrior 5 and don't really like it. I think I going to uninstall it and continue Tomb Raider Anniversary.
Adole if you want to see the trailer for Diablo 3 can try look for it at Gamespot.
Oh yeah this is just for my personal interest and study. I know most of you have streamyx connection. Can you guys please tell me what modem you guys are using? Any problem with it. Thanks. |

| Streaming music and portable apps |
Company regulations prevents you from putting Mp3 onto your computer ? I used to burn songs and bring them to work on DVD but then there is the predictability of the songs that will come up right. Searched for shoutcast with Jap Anime songs and found this site : http://kawaii-radio.net/ the selection of songs are pretty good so you guys can give it a try.

This site is quite good , they have portable softwares so you can make your thumbdrive into a portable application storage. This means you run the software from your thumbdrive and leave no trace on the computer. You can have a calender which you can bring around and the data will be the same when you plug in the thumbdrive into another computer. Fun :) . They also have open office and graphic editing software so you don't need to worry that the computer that you are forced to use has NO apps installed , you can still do your work. Give it a try, thumbdrives are really dirt cheap nowadays.

| FF13 for Xbox360 and random PSP info |
Whoa .. just found out about this mindblowing announcement from SquareSoft ..
http://e3.gamespot.com/story.html?sid=6193730&pid=950899&tag=topslot;action;3&tag=topslot;title;3
FF13 is coming to the 360, it's even going to be released on the same day !
Now if only MGS4 does the same then I'll just get a 360 tommorow evening ..

For the PSP , games shouldn't lag.
If you are using CSO format then it's possible the game was compressed and that causes your game to lag. Another possibility is that you might have been cheated, your memory card might be a fake one. One simple test is to look at 'property' when the mem card is selected. If the option MagicGate has "Unsupported" on it then you have a fake mem card. I am not sure about 3rd party mem card, the best card to use for the PSP is the original Sony mem card.
As for software ... there are some software that i use but only one is really useful ....
PDF reader - very useful but can't remember the details. Remind me and I'll bring the software for this weeks DotA session.
The software you will need is something to convert your movies into the format that can be recognized by the PSP .. just remind me and I'll bring you the software. Can't remember the name :p , the conversion process is a little time taking but due to the differences in encoding you dont have a choice. You cant just dump in avi and expect it to work unfortunately. The encoding time is approximately 40 % of the total length of the movie. ( 100 minute movie takes 40 minutes to convert).
As for games, let me know what you are looking for and i can seach in my collection .. i had a lot but cant remember most of them since i just d/l and played them once ...
i get all my games from www.pspisoz.com , if you are downloading games let me know so we can alternate and download different games .. MegaUpload has lots of restrictions so you can't just q up a lot of games ... I just got Indiana Jones Lego , haven't tried it yet. Will try to bring on DotA meet if i remember. |

| My new and sexy (better than Warlock's) white psp!!!! |
So as most of you know I finally purchased a PSP last week after months of waffling over whether to buy one or not. I must say I'm quite satisfied with it, but haven't taken the time to do much with it aside from playing some games. Its a good thing to have especially since I'm retiring from DotA...until next Saturday when I make my Rocky-like comeback.
Anyway, I would appreciate some advice from Warlock (since I don't want to wait till the weekend to talk to him)
What good applications should I be looking for (not games, but like for other things, say pdf and such)
How does the movie player thing work, can i just copy over my avi files or do I have to reformat them (I know original firmware sucks for this but mines the latest custom one) or perhaps is there a good movie player. I don't really care about space so I just want to copy some movies over and maybe a few tv series episodes to watch on the train/bus.
Could you give me a list of games/programs you have and if there's any I want can you burn them for me (I will supply discs, but I think I have more than enough games for now).
I'm not using the funky casing or anything, just the wrist strap and a screen protector. so far so good. I got the logitech earbuds too. anything I should really consider buying?
Can't think of anything else right now, so maybe I'll update later. |
