Monday, September 03, 2007 - dota is no longer fun. : gone were the days when one can play dota and be mildly entertained by battlenet players.

gone were the days when one can exercise a bit of common sense and anticipation to discern where missing enemy players are.

and gone are the days where dota players on the battlenet are older folk, like 16 and above.

today, we have a host of 12-15 year old 'lil kids of yonderland who swarm battlenet in droves and really take the fun out of public dota games. they are all unthinking, mindless drones who take the words of their "pro" friends (read: pro = professional - just a figurative expression) sooo seriously that they follow their tactics wholesale. and these "pro" people got their tactics from where? other "pro" friends la.

honestly, most of the tactics don't even make sense. it's really just mindlessly following what the rest are doing.

"WTH??? a guinsoo on a bounty hunter??? NOOB."

and then they start expounding the uber pro items that bounty hunter should get... some far-fetched item like butterfly etc etc. and then when you actually play with them with your team who knows exactly what they are doing, they get their asses whipped hard. then guess what? they accuse you of maphack (read: a form of hacking that allows you to see the entire map which is cheating).

enemy heroes that go missing for dunno how many minutes and they expect us to stay farrr down the lane away from our defences like some dork who can't anticipate that something is fishy.

decision making for them is really almost non-existent. they all conform to a set of rules.


CANNOT CHIONG PAST THE TOWER NO MATTER WHAT!!!

EVEN IF YOU GOT 3 OF YOUR TEAMMATES PRESENT!!!


and then my team and i sees a guy standing quite serenely by the tower despite the fact that we are able to stun him from quite far away. and then he dies when we all chiong right in and slaugther him, before beating a hasty retreat.

the bugger didn't even know what hit him.

players nowadays don't analyse the game at all. it's just a set of rules, what their perceived to be "pro" friends say and what they see other people do, even thought the situation is never the same.

bah. dota is becoming a sad game to play. nowadays even though my team and i do play a few public games to get some cheap thrill out of killing them so easily, it's getting dry and boring.

i need new games!!!!



***for the unintiated few, the above would be totally alien to you. so the post starts from here. Ha Ha Ha.***



Oh i do enjoy days like these. the entire office was empty 'cus all regulars had to get their asses to the army open house. ill bet down to my last penny that no one stayed beyond 5pm. i mean, the exhibition might interest and wow the public who hasn't been in touch with the SAF for years, but for people like us, its really a "been there, done that" kinda thing. i mean we WORKED on those "hi-tech" stuff.

but of 'cus, mondays somehow get to inject a 'lil bit of shit into the rest of your week.

right now, a certain individual has decided to add a bit of extra stuff to my job scope. ok not a bit. a whole chunk load of stuff actually. in fact, this hunk of junk crap he just blew out of his cannon is enough as a full fledged job. maybe i'm exaggerating but it's close la.

frankly, i don't think i'm even able to settle into this new pile of sai. i'm going to flush this stupid organization out of my system in like, a 'lil over 2 months. the only concern i have is my understudy (who i probably will never see) whose going to take over my job. if he is going to come in as a website idiot like me when i arrived at my current unit, then i say he's better off fending for his life in the Sahara.

ah well. of course you can't expect me to clean up everything before i leave. in fact, i intend to hide a large amount of shit from the website and make it look ok on the outside. but then, once im gone, all the shit will come back in the form of one large bitch and BITE THE ASSHOLE IN THE ASS. =D what a considerate thought. *pat pat*

thank goodness though, that this month is speeding up, 'cus the month of august was one slooow one. really, time seemed to dilate back then. i looked at my handphone's calender and realised that august had 5 weeks! like, omg! thankfully this month is back to normal with 4 weeks. i would expect this month to be completely smoooth sailing and totally laid back, with the exception of the amount of crap generating daily from the website which probably matches the height of Everest.

for the first time EVERRR, i am ACTUALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO GUARD DUTY!!!!


I HAVE LOST MY MIIINNNDDDD!!!!
*oozes drool from corner of mouth*


heh heh. not really la. it's just that my guard duty is on the 22nd of september, that means, i'm thaaat much closer to my ORD. can you imagine? you wake up to a beautiful sunday, albeit in camp, on a weekend (-_-), and realize - it's just one week more to october... which is one month away from ORD... Ha Ha.

and of course, the feeling of liberation from The Stupid Organization is one that i don't really understand now, but soon. in fact, this friday, one of my colleagues is going to return to the real world of civilization.

soooon... sooon i will livvvee agaaaain......

during the month of august, i was really anguishing over how time is dilating as my ORD is approaching, until i remembered this song.
