There goes my Hero!

"Why there's NO post yesterday?!"

A friend of mine asked me that, earlier this morning. First SMS I received today. This message made me smile. I really thought no one's taking me seriously about blogging, since I was literally promoting it and forcing them to like it. (LOL!) For that, I apologize, I know you miss me guys, but I have this thing about Mondays.

(I really hate Mondays!) Nah.. Just kidding. Truth is I slept the whole day yesterday and I woke up almost 4pm, not to mention the Internet was extremely slow. (Zzz.. Reasons)

Okay, done, let's get back to business. Heheheh.

So for today's topic, I would like to share you guys, one of my addictions (yeah, there's a lot that's why I'm using "addictions") none other than Heroes of Newerth. This game was introduced to me last 2009, by my good friends from Schenectady, NY. That time I was really into DOTA "Defense of the Ancients" (immortal enemy of a player's girlfriend LOL!) the game I'd choose to play over those fancy apps in Facebook and mall arcades. I played DOTA for 3 years then HON came. (weird it sounds like a boyfriend heheheh) It was closed beta (International) that time and you will need a beta key for you to play. My friend gave me the URL of the site and I was able to register, however, no beta key was given. So, what he did was, he purchased a VIP account and gave me 1 of the 3 beta keys (as a freebie from HON for buying it) awesome, right? Now that I have a beta key how am I suppose to use it? I don't have my own computer not to mention it requires a good Internet connection.

NOTE: For those who are not familiar with HON the reason why you need Internet connection is because you'll be playing with different nationalities of different countries. And its not rocket science, that for you to connect with those players you'll need internet connection. It does not have a Local Area Network gaming capability unlike DOTA wherein you can play even without internet connection.
(whew! lot of explaining)


 So yeah, that's one major thing that almost made me not play HON. Even BConnected and Netopia (popular Internet Shop in the Philippines) "that time" did not install HON in their computers because of the requirement. Question now is where am I gonna use this beta key? As if 7-11 will swap it to soda or McDonald's gonna give me large fries once I present the beta key to them. LOL! Game God must be irritated of my rants and whining, or it must have been my charm that finally get me to use my precious beta key! So what happened was, the owner of the Internet Shop (where I use to play DOTA) installed HON to some of his computers and he even encouraged everyone to play it. Sweet! ♥


Yehey! Time to play. ☻

At first, I was really having a hard time dealing with it, remember I'm used to playing DOTA. Though they  "almost" have the same concept and interface, item names and hero names were all new to me. And of course, they have original heroes as well. It's like switching your OS from Windows to Mac. But since I love these kind of games, playing it has never been a big deal to me. Honestly, I got addicted to it, especially when I got my own computer I barely sleep at all. It's like after 3-4 hours of sleep, HON's gonna call me to play again. That's how interesting this game is!

Believe me, it's like my own version of heroin. ♣

The only weird thing I experienced in playing HON (well, until now), was everytime guys hear my voice (yup! there's a built-in VOIP, isn't that cool?). They can't believe that girls also enjoy and play these type of games.
"What's your problem dude? Can't you not make me feel like I'm an alien?" (don't worry guys, I don't talk to them like that, it's just a thought ☻)

Here are some screenshots of the characters I have played. (No, I'm not PRO)
If you noticed my fave item is thunderclaw and I love slaying Kongor. *EVIL GRIN*
FYI: I am not using that account anymore.
I have a new one (thanks to Open Beta!) and it's dedicated to Matchmaking (I♥coins).
