Hey all, so recently I've started to play a Free-to-Play Game called League of legends. Its gameplay is based on DotA from Warcraft 3, and while I've never played DotA before, i instantly liked this game. There are nearly 80 different characters to choose from, and each is unique and different to play. Basically, you start off at your teams base (Nexus) and there are a few paths to the enemy Nexus, guarded by turrets. Your objective is to get to the enemy Nexus and destroy it, whilst defending your own Nexus from the enemy team who is attempting to do the same thing. Teams consist of either 5 or 3 Champions on either side (a Champion being a Player Character) and a host of Minions (Little monsters) that spawn constantly from each base. These minions will follow set paths (Lanes) that take them along the path of the turrets and into the enemy base, and help you by, well, they're actually more useful as meat shields than anything, but they are still useful.
And then there's 'The Jungle'. The Jungle is pretty much anywhere on the map that is not a lane or a base. Neutral monsters spawn in little camps around the Jungle, denoted by Skulls on the Minimap. These creatures will yield EXP and Gold when they're killed, much like Minions and Champions, but can also grant your character temporary buffs to tip the scales in their favour.
So, the objective is simple. Gank the enemy team more than they gank you (Because re-spawn times in this game are harsh, and knocking an enemy out for 60 seconds is vital in pushing into the enemies base. But what i love about this game is how versatile the characters can be, there are many different 'Builds' to each character, and it all depends on what items you decide to buy in game, So you can stack different stats like Health and Mana Regeneration etc. to make your character your own. Outside of combat, there's a Store (Where, through Micro-Transactions, you can purchase extra Characters, Skins, and Boosts for your character, and Runes, which you can use to give yourself a starting Edge and add that personal touch to your character. There are also Masteries, which are essentially Talent Trees, which you can again use to set yourself apart from the flock.
Now, i regularly play LoL as a variety of different characters, in case you're interested:
Kayle, The Judicator - I love me some angels, and her Battleborn Skin makes her look like a Valkyrie. She's a really good support character
Ezreal, The Prodigal Explorer - The Frosted Skin looks cool, and he is really fun to play. All of his attacks have to manually aimed, which means he needs Skill to play well, and that to me is really cool/
Ashe, The Frost Archer - I love Ice and Archers, so this ones a Given, plus she too has an awesome Nordic Skin <3
Leona, The Radiant Dawn - Just bought her today, shes a new character, but looks awesome and is very fun, also she has a Valkyrie skin too, and that's just cool
Malphite, Shard of the Monolith - Again, looks cool and is VERY fun to play as, and he's a great PvP Character
Tristana, The Megling Gunner - I haven't played her, but I've heard shes good fun. I got her free from Facebook. Just follow them on Facebook, and you get her and a Skin for her.
Veigar, The Tiny Master of Evil - So much fun to play as, and Kick ass to boot. Also you can get a Gandalf Skin for him, what's not to love?
My main 3 Characters at the moment are Ezreal, Malphite and Leona, and im having alot of fun with the game as a whole. the only drawbacks for me at the moment are a lack of varied maps and the fact that Log in times can sometimes be a bit unreasonable. But hey, theyre adding some new servers soon, and probably more maps, because as i understand its a fairly new game (at least to the EU).
So, more news as and when i get it, and some playthrough talk and other stuff to come.
If anyone wants to try the game out, it is free to play, so just go to the website, or, if you like, follow This Link to sign up for an account. That's my referral link to the game. Maybe we can play together some time, because the game is fantastic.
League of Legends, by Riot Games. Check it out!
Also, i apologise for the late post, i was doing some hard manual labor, like the manly man that i clearly am.
Till Next Time,
Have Fun

Xbox.com E3 Website Leaks New HALO Details
Kotaku, The Gamer's Guide published an article (http://kotaku.com/5808887/microsofts-e3-2011-website-outs-halo-4-and-more) That shows a screenshot of Microsoft's E3 Coverage Website accidentally leaking a Page that shows Halo 4 and a remake of Halo: Combat Evolved. Shocked? No, didn't think so. The HALO series makes WAY too much money for Microsoft to not make more. Blatent Lies when they said that Reach would be their final Halo, but still, it should be promising with 343 Industries at the Helm. Head on over there to read more.
Until next time,
Have Fun

Generic News Post!
So, i haven't been posting as much as i'd like to, mostly due to laziness, but also due to lack of content. i really don't want to make this a Blog only about Minecraft, but Terraria for me has become a bit stale, i mean iv'e collected every item and NPC, and experienced everything the game has to offer thus far, of course there are always patches, and who knows, i may cover them in the future.
And then there's World of Warcraft.
I have UN-subbed from WoW for now, because of lack of interesting content and the way the game has been developing thus far. Again, this may change with patches.
Now, i definitely plan to keep the reviews and first impressions promises, those particularly are a must for me, and i hope to keep you guys up to date with Minecraft, as I've just joined a friends private Multi-player server, and we're having a lot of fun with that, indeed, thats where most of my time has been spent thus far.
So, another tentative schedule is in order i think :D
Best. Schedule. Ever!
Until next time,
Have fun!

London MCM Expo, Minecraft Intro, RPG and More!
Hey just a quick update, the Minecraft Introduction will probably have to wait until Monday, perhaps even Tuesday, as i will be attending the London MCM Expo. Terraria should be as normal on the Monday, as I am eager to get that content out. Some pictures might be uploaded of said MCM expo, if I find anything particularly interesting or relevant.
Another small note, I am part of a pseudo games studio named Round Table Games, and we are currently working on a debut, as of yet un named RPG project using RPG Maker VX. Updates of this particular nature will hopefully appear when available, as well as news about upcoming games, and the aforementioned sporadic reviews. Who knows, perhaps video Lets Plays of some games are in the pipeline too?
Till next time,
Laters, and have fun

World of Warcraft : Introduction
So, as promised, here's a short introduction to my World of Warcraft Characters, and some of the things i will be doing on the characters. Now, i may not be doing World of Warcraft Coverage for too much longer (I know, I've only just started) but the way the game has been progressing lately hasn't been exactly good for itself. It seems to me these days that the world doesn't seem to need a WoW killer as much as it used to, because Blizzard seems to have put it on suicide watch or something. I dunno, they seem to have made a lot of strange choice and alienated a lot of their fans, and some choices i don't agree with either. (see the less and less raiding content and the fact the game is getting easier and easier.)
Instead of World of Warcraft content, or maybe even alongside it, i will probably start doing First Impression Reviews and Reviews of Games that i have played that you so totally should.
Anyway, at the moment on WoW i have Three characters that i focus on (plus a couple of more that now lie neglected). All of these characters are on the EU Realm Karazhan (PvP) and are all played in relatively equal amounts.

- Talius - Level 85 Undead Hunter
- Zerbi - Level 70 Goblin Rogue
- Joltik - Level 10 Troll Warrior
Yep, Horde, Problem? :P
Zerbi is my main character at the moment, having just come back from a couple of months of not playing (as i always seem to do just after Christmas) and is mainly bumming around being lazy on her Epic mount, Herbing and Mining anything in sight. She's good at getting me money :D
Talius was my first level 85, and my favorite character. mainly just sitting at Orgrimmar accumulating dust :P
And Joltik... well, my first character was a warrior, and i want another. he will be levelled at some point. honest.
So anyway, i will probably see how it goes, maybe do some more WoW content, maybe do some reviews here and there.
Till next time,
laters and have fun
