This guy seems to have sprung up out of nowhere for the LoL community after the Ahri patch. He made an awesome song for Ahri, and needs a lot more support. If Plentakill can make songs in their style, then Brother Blake needs quite a bit more attention.</span><div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://cdn.wasdgamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Dota-2-Beta.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://cdn.wasdgamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Dota-2-Beta.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Personally, I was introduced into the MOBA environment through League of Legends; a now popular moba-style game where you choose a champion based on their abilities, and fight in teams to destroy the enemy's nexus.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love League of Legends, so within that mindset, I went into playing Dota 2 with an open mind. (I was invited for the beta just recently, yay!) I had never played Dota before, and as such, was completely oblivious to just how different the 2 games were.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u>To put it simply, my impression of both games is...</u></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u><br /></u></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">League of Legends:</span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Noob-friendly shop </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Easy to get into for a jump in game whenever you have the time</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Early-on, the community seems nice enough (Later on, they're... not so nice.)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">New Champions every other week, champion tweaks within the same updates.</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dota 2:</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The shop seemed to cluttered at first before I got the hang of it.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At this point, I've been having 10-20 minute queues, which I'm not too happy about.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I haven't experienced the community too much so far, but from the games I've been in, there are not ragers; even if a teammate quits or someone does horrible. (me)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I don't know what content will change, or will be added, but I look forward to the full release!</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once again, this is coming from a newer generation of MOBA player(s), so take what I say with a grain of salt. I look forward to getting to know this game from the inside out the way I've learned League of Legends.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyways, I have a few treasures that I've found over the week that I plan on displaying over the next few days, hopefully I get the time in between games and matches to get to that... ;)</span><br />

<br />
<br />
Seems that one of the most popular domain name registrar, GoDaddy, has finally resigned their support to the SOPA bill. This was done after losing 70,000+ domain names due to the posts via reddit, and www.godaddyboycott.org.<br />
<br />
GoDaddy has been a huge supporter of the SOPA bill, as it is an advocate against piracy and 'support and stability of the internet', but soon changed it's stance as it found out what kind of impact it had on their company.<br />
<br />
It's quite unfortunate really, as the actions and response of the company has seemed to be more "damage control, more than a change in heart" - Tom's GuideDestinxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00898753402607790010noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5328650004671107867.post-79202361940725768812011-12-26T23:34:00.000-08:002012-01-20T12:10:56.137-08:00GoDaddy...

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Oh Goodness.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Looks like GoDaddy dun goofed yet again. GoDaddy had been an open supporter of the SOPA bill since it had gone in for voting, and due to it, have now lost over 70,000 domain names to competitors in the process. GoDaddy attempted to reduce the amount of transfers by returning incomplete WhoIs information to competitors, delaying the transfer process. As it is, this is an illegal practice under ICANN (<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers), and as such eventually gave in to releasing the information that was supposed to rightly be released.</span></span>Destinxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00898753402607790010noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5328650004671107867.post-83820560470345272902011-12-25T16:52:00.001-08:002011-12-25T17:25:18.527-08:00Quantam!<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><u>For those that love dubstep, here's a little treat.</u></span><br />

<br />
Over the past week or so, I've had strep throat (insert picture of adorable girl crying). It was pretty killer, as I've had to babysit for 2 days, shopping for 2 days, and sitting in the living room being a wimp. As it is, I'm recovering, but not out of the woods yet. Wish me luck!<br />
<br />
Tonight, a friend was hosting a kind've 'get together' with her family, and various friends. Every year, she hosts a small party, with friends coming in through-out the day to talk, meet up with their family, have some food, share a few laughs, and play a few games. I went there tonight, and it was quite a bit of fun. This was the first X-mas I've ever really talked to and seen friends over the holidays, and I really enjoyed that. Have to do it more often... :)<br />
<br />
I'm really hoping everyone has a Merry X-mas, and a Happy New Year. (Don't get too drunk.)<br />

Not so Limited.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">League of Legends 'Limited Edition' Skins are really, Legacy Skins.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Reading up on the forums, I came by a post asking if limited edition skins would be available at a later date. (There was a huge controversy over this when the Riot Singed skin was released numerous times) A Red (Riot Employee) posted saying that they become 'Legacy Skins', meaning they can/may release those skins at a later date, which nearly defeats the purpose of having the skins 'limited'.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've never bought a limited edition skin myself, but this turns me off from buying any limited editions from their store. ever. Granted, I still might check out their merch shop, who doesnt want a 'I survived Annie Bot' shirt?</span><br />

The story revolves around the rise of dragons after they were defeated centuries previous, and how you, the main character, and the last 'Dovahkiin' (Dragonborn) was the only one who could stop them from ruling again.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Screw that, I want to have some fun.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This game is UNREAL. I haven't played Oblivion or Morrowind before, but that doesn't matter. This is a brand new experience to me, and I can't believe the work that's been put in, the beauty of its landscape, the details put into each quest. This hand-crafted world has surprised me to no end, as every single time I play for a session, I find something new that has fixated me into playing for even longer.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">As I was hiking up to the peak of the Throat of the World (Past the Greybeards) I coincidently did it at night.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I couldn't believe my eyes.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This is a picture off Google, but it does the scenery no justice, as it was absolutely mystifying. I sat fixated for at least 10 minutes, looking at every part of the sky, and watching in awe at the dynamic landscape, and the complexity of it.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Anyways, I need to get back to playing this, as I've been sitting jittery just thinking about having another go at it. Later!</span><br />

Well, you don't really have a choice what I say, and you can just skip this introduction stuff to get to the actual part of the Blog. To start, I'll just say my alias is Destinx, no more. Maybe once I've gotten into this and start to understand what this is all about, I'll say a bit more. :) This blog will be about gaming, Tech News, and the occasional Touhou post here or there, as I love the games/community behind it.</span>Destinxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00898753402607790010noreply@blogger.com0
