Warcraft 3 (Frozen Throne): Orc, Tavern, and Human Heros


Sadly, I didn't get the Human one to 6th level.

I'm getting better though. T$ and I can now beat two Normal computers together, so I tried playing against a Normal on my own, and twice I beat it. Used to be I had difficulty beating even an Easy. We play together enough now that we know how we work well together, and when we go to LAN parties I'm not always on the losing side anymore. :-P Last game we pulled an "Ender" on the DotA map - we have to kill a "base" building in the enemy's camp, and the other team was about to win, their heros were all 25th level and our team didn't have any higher than 23 I think, mine was around 17. They decided to finish us off and mob our base. Well, I was outside the base and snuck in one side of theirs where we'd gotten rid of their defenses, I flagged that side without comment aloud, T$ caught on and followed me in, and we took out their tree before they got ours. Yeah!

Nor am I always losing in Tetris DS, more in the middle - ah, well I remember those heady days where I was the silver medalist on the Bus #7 Tetris circuit. I was #2 in all the speed-based card games as well, though the strategy games we were all well-balanced (it was a nerd school, after all, we were all smart). I guess I fell behind on the console games, as I never really got into the oldschool Nintendo, and everyone got whatever came after that and I didn't. But I'm catching up! On old games, at least.

I wonder where I can get Bubble Bobble.

You don't know me but the war3 pic caught my attention, I've been a huge war3 dork since it came out, I can give you some tips if you want. (I play more ladder than DoTA). Later.

Hee, thanks. I don't play online with strangers for two reasons: my computer's slow, and the only people willing to talk are assholes and talk only to trashtalk. Okay okay, I know that not everyone on battlenet is like that, but the vast majority that I've run into are, or at least enough to outweigh the nice people for me. Maybe since I'm getting better I'll give it a whirl again after the semester ends and I have more free time. I've got the same username there if you wanted to look for me, but don't expect me on soon or often. :-P

I met alot of pretty cool people on bnet when I played starcraft. I never got into WC3 because SC owns my soul. Just steer clear of the koreans.

Hehe, that's cool then. Here's a ROM for Bubble Bobble, do you have an NES emulator?

nerd school?

Just curious: which nerd school did you go to? (I attended one such in Northern Virginia.)

Yours wasn't the same one as tacotortoise and tiurin, was it? I forget how I found your blog. :-P

Mine was in New York. For more details, ask me again in a locked post, I try not to give out too much identifying info in unlocked posts. ;)

Re: nerd school?

[jrtom.livejournal.com]

Apparently the same as tacotortoise, yes, although I graduated 3 years before he entered.

Oh duh, you had it on your profile. :-P It's a small world. I figured there weren't that many geek schools in N VA. Or VA as a whole...
