The sneaky glass cannon
I like my builds do a LOT of damage, be mobile, and be silent death.
The Medium: Reviewish
If your idea of horror is cheap jump scares, gratuitous gore, and slimy monsters trying to eat you around every turn, then you will be disappointed in this game. I’m a horror junkie, and, personally, I don’t think that stuff is scary; I think that stuff is just cheap, tacky, lazy writing and boring, overused, tired nonsense.
The horror in this is a slow burn conceptual story element and it’s a fantastic piece of writing. I mean, yeah the monsters are scary-ish (I don’t scare easily) but the story is the true horror element. If there were ever a good game to turn into a limited run TV series, this would be it. The story is about a woman, who, after preparing her recently deceased adoptive father for his funeral, gets a phone call from some guy who tells her he knows what she is (a medium) and that he needs her to come meet him because the light is almost gone, which is just vague enough to be intriguing. That’s all the story I’m going to give you.
Excited, nervous, nauseous, vindicated
So. As you know, about a year and a half ago, my gaming rig committed Hari Kari. I was completely and utterly crushed. I sat in the car and cried for about half an hour. I was bereft.
DotA 7.0 Update, Later: Reviewish
I’ve found the new update very weird.
I still strongly hate the VERSUS screen. It is violently unattractive.
The new placement of the bounty runes allows for easy farming, but I think it’s excessive; one bounty rune every two minutes is more than ample. I don’t understand the spawning of the buffing runes; it seems kinda random to me.
The aura or whatever those shrines in the jungle? They’re handy, but I feel that they’re unnecessary. I do like the increased creeps in the jungle though.
The gimped bot on each team is still annoying as all hell. I wish I knew how to implement the community AIs.
And why did they move Roshan?
Overall, I like it, but I think it’s made things too easy.
