I preferred STAR BATTLE on Starcraft 2.

Been playing League since just after beta, on both servers (didn't realise there was an EU one until after I'd signed up and got my US one to 30 :P).  I do go in phases a little, but people can attest that if I haven't got in at least one match a day, I really must be busy with uni...

Re: the community... yes.  It's full of assholes.  Unfortunately, from what I hear, HoN and the original DOTA were far, far worse.  I just sort of let it breeze past me.  I am getting increasingly dissatisfied with solo queueing, though.  Not having anyone to duo with, or a team, is somewhat frustrating, especially when you go on a losing streak.

I'm Basilisk9466 on both US and EUW, if anyone wants to prod me.

Oh, and DOTA2... I'll look at it when it comes out, but if it's anything close to HoN's cliff-like learning curve, I suspect I'll promptly give up on it.  League's more casual approach suits me fine.

Oh, and Graelyn: Star Battle is awesome.  It's consumed enough of my (admittedly not huge) time playing SC that I still haven't finished my placement matches. :P

I've played it a lot over the past year+ and for the most part enjoy it. I go through rage phases where I won't touch it though, and at this point unless I'm playing with at least 3 people it just isn't enjoyable, especially trying to do ranked.

I did get invited to the DotA 2 beta and have been playing a couple of games with it. Beta community might not be indicative of anything, but so far it's been pretty chill. Much harder than LoL in many ways, but I also opted to choose the "experienced" option on starting, which meant I didn't get any kind of tutorials or advice. If nothing else with good players it's actually possible to win 4v5s with leavers, even though Valve was smart and actually doesn't penalize you for abandoning the game if one team has a leaver (has to be gone for 5+ minutes straight). Haven't played it enough to really make a solid judgement yet, other than to say that I think it has potential.

I'm happy to know that no matter how much I game or play, I'll never ever have this happen to me, in LoL or any other game;

23 year old idiot died after 23 hour's of constant LoL gaming.

I should be sad for him. Instead, my darker than black humor made me laugh and giggle all through the article. Fucking moron. This is what happens when the word 'moderation' don't exist in one's vocabulary.

I'll get back in my lane...

After playing for quite some time, must be over six months, I'm still not 30 which shows how casual I am.
I like the game, the type is fun and I'm fond of it in all honesty. Most people populating it are walking adverts for post natal abortion and forced euthanasia through gassing.

So I play against the AI as most people running bot games leave their ego as there's no chestbeating to be had against something as incompetent as bots.

I've done long gaming sessions, and experienced no trouble, but then again I do take frequent rests, and I've taken to exercising (yay Fitocracy) and eating healthy. I think this scenario could have happened just as well to a couch potato. I wonder if the guy knew he had a heart condition or not. If a person doesn't know, and maintains an unhealthy lifestyle, it can sneak in on you. One reason why exercise and all is good, even if you think you are fine. Or you could get yourself screened I guess, but living unhealthy because you can socalled afford it will in the end still have bad results.

Just by generally walking a few hours a week will keep your heart in decent shape, its just this sedentary lifestyle of city people and lazy car people...

Back on topic, there is now a channel called 'Inspiracy' on EU West for all you fine people to come and hang out in.

*bump* Inspiracy channel needs more folks. If you play, come hang out in it. No need to group if you care for your ranking, just chatting is fine. Have not played too much myself, but seen at least one of you in there already. We can do better \o/
