le sigh

There must be some obscure one-liner in one of those Books That Dictate The Universe that state that DOTA or Defence of the Ages is an inherently Evil Thing. It isn't just any real-time strategy LAN game. It's a time drainer and attention sucker. People here actually take the trouble to reformat their computers just so the game can run faster (and yes, to me, reformatting is a Very Big Job). They have organised sessions wherein they drop everything and anything they are doing to start playing the game. And once they play nothing else matters. There is just the game. And so you see grown guys bent over their computers, transformed from normal people to wide-eyed staring zombies furiously clicking on their mouses and jabbing random keys with furor. Occasionally they will look up to consult painstakingly compiled "recipe" manuals and cheat sheets before returning to the game with renewed vigour. It just never ceases to amaze me how a game with unchanging scenery and characters manages to become so addictive to so many people. Yet another of those things in which you shrug and wonder why something godsent doesn't strike the entire game to smithereens just for its sheer ability to irritate those who don't play the game. It would be pretty darn entertaining to see all these people wailing in anguish as they see their game being wiped out from the face of this earth. *rubs hands in glee* XD

Sigh. But my imagination moves ahead of me. And now this humble non-dota-player shall return to the normal world of writing reports and studying for exams while pig tries to "own" as many enemies as possible. *lol* More later. Ta~

edit: ok fine. defence of the ANCIENTS. *mutter* to pig, the obvious reason as to why there is a lack of 'thorough' understanding as you put it is due to your apparent lack of skill in instruction. As it is you make it barely appealing to the superior female mind. *LOL* *rolls eyes* GUYS!!! =_=
