Gaming - what's it good for?

Nothing much in real value, as according to this video. Do watch:




However, as most of you may be aware mrguay also does some occasional gaming... Okay, actually only DotA. Isn't it self contradictory?

Nope, because I do understand that playing games are just...games! They create as much value and purpose as say a cup of coffee does. But we do meet our friends for coffee, don't we? And perhaps it's not the game nor the victories but the experience and friendships that is forged along the way.

Hope you guys have a nice holiday. Now stop playing games and go out in the sun!

Since you ask for it - new DotA forum to organise games

Yup, I've created a forum for like-minded people to join.

Use it to discuss heroes, strategies or to organise games.

Registration is free. Join now!

My ex-students who use the other old forum, pls register in the new one as the old one is very buggy.

Totally unrelated to school - DotA 2 by Valve

Yes, it seems the popularity of DotA and the software limitations of the Warcraft engine has finally spawned a dedicated platform for our beloved game.

DotA 2 is a partnership between Valve (Counterstrike, Half Life etc) and Icefrog (current developer of DotA). Will it be free? Will it be better? When will it be released? Read more at http://gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2010/10/13/dota-2-announced-details.aspx

A nice way to start the holidays....

..is to have a good DotA game with my former Sec 2s!

So my current Sec 2s, I'm waiting... :)
