Playing games has not always been a pastime for me; when I was a kid, my older brother was the owner of the game console, so all I ever did was watch him and other people play. About one year ago, I started playing games. Unfortunately, the game that I learned how to play games on was DOTA2.
I'm not going to go into too much detail about the specifics of games like DOTA2, but I suppose what does need to be mentioned is that it is a MOBA, or multiplayer online battle arena game, in which players are pitted against one another in teams of 5 with the goal of destroying the other team's base. It's really not for casual players. I probably won't be talking about DOTA2 on this blog, however, because I still suck a lot at it, so I really have nothing insightful to say about it.
I'll instead be talking about other, more casual games that I play in my free time; games that I actually have the time to enjoy at my own leisure. One of which is a new MMO that is currently in free beta for about another week called WildStar. Another game that I play much more frequently, is Pokemon, but I'm once again not sure how much I will end up talking about it, as there is a huge learning curve to that game, and I'm not 100% confident in my ability to synthesize the information needed to understand the topical content of posts. But we'll see how things go.
