My Initial Thoughts on DotA

I don't play DotA. Apparently where I'm from, everybody plays this game. I think most people around the world play DotA, haha, who am I kidding. I have nothing against it. Just because you don't play a game doesn't mean you have to hate it (hello, CoD and Battlefield fanboys). But I really don't know what's so fun about it. Then again, I guess you can't judge a book by its cover. What you're about to read are my initial thoughts on DotA, I say again: initial thoughts, which I wrote about a year or so ago. My thoughts on this game has since largely unchanged, except now I know a little bit more on how it works, but that's just about it. DotA fans, don't be upset. Behold!

Microtransactions: Why I Wasn't Excited About Diablo 3

One of the most awaited games right now is Diablo III. Ask anyone to list out their top 5 most anticipated relese of 2012, Diablo III is going to be somewhere in that list. Last January, I too, was excited when I heard about the hype surrounding this follow-up to Diablo 2. But as I dug in, my excitement vaporated, only to be replaced by disappointment, and eventually, ignorance.
