Man... it's really hot.

So, lately it's been really hot here in Minnesota, extremely hot. Right now, we hover somewhere in the 80's-90's in terms of temperature (F). Now, this probably wouldn't be so bad if we had an air conditioner put in. Which we don't. All we have are some fans and an open window. Add in the fact that I have my computer running, which makes it even hotter in the room makes it worse.

This actually kind of makes me want to go back to my friends house again this weekend, just because his small trailer has an air conditioner and is much less stuffy inside. It is raining, but it doesn't seem to be cooling down the ambient air and might possibly increase the humidity. If it wasn't for my pretty terrible neighborhood, I would love to be outside riding my bike or just relaxing...


Oh wells. I guess that's what I get for being such an introvert and internet addict.

Anyways, because of this, playing League or other games will be taken up by watching anime or reading manga, typing blogs (as I'm doing at the moment) or just plain ol' surfing the web.


So, you'll be seeing more of me as I relax after I graduate.

One For All is fun... to a point.

Not too long ago, All For One mode was released for everyone on the League servers. Unlike the previous one, this one is based on the concept that both sides have the same characters. So, say if you choose LeBlanc, both teams are all composed of LeBlanc. Secondly, the normal version of this mode is now on Howling Abyss, rather than Summoners Rift, making the game much less serious and more faster paced.

However, I find this to be a con at times. Some characters that don't have much push power such as Braum or Shaco, which leads to long, sometimes boring games. The concept itself is quite warming, considering that  it used to be a mod long before, and Riot is taking it as an idea, but it seems that the game gets fairly repetitive.

In a positive light, the game can be very fun when everyone is cooperating and doing entirely unorthodox builds. For example, I went tanky Zed and Yasuo and basically did better than some of the people on my team. It also allows people to experiment with different types of characters, considering that as long as one person has the character, anyone can vote for it in the champion select.

Overall, however, I find the game mode the funnest when you're with your friends, rather than solo. Not only can you laugh at the stupidity of so many ulti's and spells being used at once, but you gain a sense of pride when you use your abilities better than the enemy and win. I guess that this game mode is a 50-50 for me, some points are an absolute blast at times and can make your day, but it can also leave you frustrated when things just get bad.

So, I suggest you try it out. It's definitely fun the first game.

Sorry for the absence of posts...

Lately, I've been feeling a bit weird I guess. I don't really feel like playing games or anything, and I just feel like surfing the web for pointless things to entertain myself. Maybe it's because I want to try and get my work done for school and such... but I'm under the spell of Shikamaru and I feel like doing absolutely nothing...

It's basically the end of my high-school career and I'm pretty much free to do whatever I want. So, I am getting a lot more free time. Since I've gotten a new keyboard, I feel like finishing this post that I started about a week ago. I've also got a new mouse that'll work amazingly well for anything. With a new build coming up soon, this'll all become together and make the best gaming experience ever.

I'll be also trying to do some of the reviews on the stuff I buy from Newegg, as I enjoy reviewing things that I've used and enjoy.

Anyways, off to watch some Higurashi and such.

May the Fourth be with you! STAR WARS DAY!

Good day, my fellow Jedi and Sith, today is a remarkable day in the history of this universe...

Kidding. Anyways, giving you a small update, Steam is having a sale on a majority of the Star Wars games present on the platform, including the Force Unleashed and Battlefront. I decided to pick up about five games from my childhood and I'm about to play them. Check them out on Steam before it's too late.

AWWW YEAAA! MR. KRABS!
