Lets talk about Heroes of Newerth
For the past two to three weeks I have been playing the new Defense of the Ancients stand-alone game called Heroes of Newerth or HoN. HoN is kinda a cut and paste of DotA on a new graphics engine with player and statistic tracking that allows for players to play the game more competitively. I think that once this game has some more heroes and maybe once they tweak the balance a little more that there will be no reason to play DotA, as long as this game is free or priced competitively. Continue on after the jump for more information and if you want a beta invite, just reply to this post with you e-mail address and I will be happy to send you one your way.

WoW: WotlK First Impressions
As most of the world probably knows by the lack of people actually showing up to their jobs, kind of like the world cup, World of Warcraft’s 3rd Expansion, Wrath of the Lich King has launched! At first I was never going to get this game because Warhammer Online had just came out and I was hoping for a game that would finally dethrone WoW as the best MMORPG in my book. Sad to say, that didn’t happen. There just isn’t that much to do in Warhammer right now and you can tell by how stale the servers get, and this comes from me a high ranking officer in a huge guild on one of the most popular servers. I was anxious to see if Wrath of the Lich King would live up to the hype or just peeter out as the franchise of WoW comes to an end.

JotW: Just Dance by Lady GaGa
This has got to be my favorite song so far this month! It took a couple plays to grow on me but once I gave the song a chance I started to just dance! I really like Just Dance because it is different from the Lil Wayne, T.I., Rick Ross, etc. that I am used to listening to.

COD5 World at War First Look
About four days ago I got my hands on the Call of Duty 5 beta. At first I wasn’t even going to try it because it wasn’t by Infinity Ward. I feel that Infinity Ward saved the COD franchise with COD4 and that giving the series back to Treyarch was a giant mistake. Alas, a bunch of my friends picked up the beta and they said it was pretty good, so I jumped on and installed it. Basically all they did was take Infinity Ward’s COD4 and re-skin it to look World War 2ish. They did some improvements but it is basically the same game, just with a significantly different gameplay.

Dota 6.55 is out, oh my god.
The new Defense of the Ancients is out and so much is changed, maybe for the better, probably mostly for the worse. At least that is how it will be interpreted for some time to come. The changelog follows and it is ridiculously long. You can get the map at the getdota website.

JotW: Love Lockdown
Kanye West caught a lot of shit for his new song Love Lockdown and I will be the first to admit that it took a few days to grow on me, but I started rocking to it and then he re-did it and I have to say that it is one of my favorite songs out there right now. Part of me loves Kanye because of how he interacts with his audience through his blog. How many artists do you know that actually run their websites? I am glad to see one of the bigger players in the game is finally learning about the internet.

The Melee DPS Survival Guide
This guide exists to help users of the Melee Damage (MDPS) archetype, which includes the White Lion, Witch Hunter, Marauder, and Witch Elf classes, gain a better understanding of how “Pick Up Groups” (PUGs), which are unorganized groups of players, function and how to be successful within one of those groups. Users will find plenty basic tips and strategies that have been successfully tested and used on the battlefield. Users will not find comprehensive mathematical breakdowns and exact strategies for each class.
