#INGAME - DoTA 2 - Still a noob

I hate to say it but perhaps I might find League of Legends a lot easier, in terms of the build, as compared to DoTA 2. 75% of the time I was trying to figure out what I needed to buy. It felt as of everything was just everywhere. All over the place. The colours confused me. I don't even know why they have tabs for casters and all when I click on it nothing happens to filter things out. 

I was told the colours represent the different types of characters. I don't even know what character does what or is good at what! So I've always stuck to the Drow Ranger because I played her and the Rifleman in the first DoTA and thus, they were the only ones I was familiar with. 

Even the places... Like the secret shop and all were confusing. I guess all my friends who got turned off by DoTA 2 were right. It's a shame that its so pretty because in that prettiness... That's where it all got so confusing. 

#QUICKIE - Left4Dead2

Here's a quickie (hence the post tag). 

Been playing Left 4 Dead a fair bit these few days. Sucks when I have to cut a game short with friends because of work. Most of the time, am only capable of squeezing in some play in the day. Today I played 3 campaigns, all on advance. I know it's my ego but even when I die at one level, I'm too stubborn to change the difficulty to Normal or Easy. 

There's just no thrill you know?

My only let peeve is the AI (when you gotta take a break) ends up doing really stupid things when you're zipping off to the loo. Like ditching the katana for pistols (what the hell bro!?) and just standing there getting zombie punched in the face. 

Also, I know my friendly fire wouldn't be so bad if the AI didn't keep running into my line of fire every frackin' time. I know there's a YouTube clip somewhere about pet peeves in L4D. Echoes my exact sentiment. 

Still contemplating if I should get PayDay. The people I know who have it can only play at night and that's when I usually gotta work. Sigh. 

And yes, I'm still putting a couple of other games on hold. Main reason why I had to fire the ol zombie game up is because it grants me the most stress relieving satisfaction of killing and bashing the crap out of things when I normally can't to the people I have to work with. 

Alas, first world problems.
