game night

::geek alert::

i have a hobby. or an addiction. every tuesday night, starting as early as 5:00 pm, i play a warcraft 3 mod with a bunch of guys. this mod (dota) is so popular that it has spawned three stand-alone games, with a fourth currently being developed. i've played dota for 3 years now (damn, it's been that long), faithfully attending "game night" every week (even over WAN a few times in japan).

well, it's an awesome game. it's like an RTS (but without the vast army to command and worry about) with some RPG elements (leveling, item collection—not story) that feels like a WoW battleground except it's entirely skilled-based (no twinks). it's my favorite multiplayer game. ever.


this is the load screen (what you see while you wait for the game to load).
