Lyrics to: A LoL Carol

Hi all,

here is part 2 of the League Of Legends Holiday Parade Writing Challenge, and sorry about it bein so lame, I didn’t have much time:

Hark all ye champions, come join in our song.
Hark all ye champions, for the new one is born.
Lo he is lying, born in a League,
The new one, annointed to be our Savior. Alleluia!

Hark all ye champions, arise from your game.
Hark all ye champions, the new one asleep.
Janna, the mother, quietly singing,
From Yi to man salvation is bringing. Alleluia!Heroes adore him, men bow before him, fire and water proclaim!
Prophets of old his coming foretold and champions ever praise his name.
Come and adore him, the new one our Savior,
He dwells among us, now and forever. Alleluia!

The killstealer, Darius!

League Of Legends Editorial

Hi all,

as I found out from my GameSpot newsletter, GameSpot is hosting a League Of Legends ‘Holiday-Parade’. There are lots of different activities like the ‘Learn To Play – Scrubs Edition’, where this newbie named Synthia Weirs starts playing LoL and live streams all of it.  There’s also stuff like Champion Battles, Game Days and Trivia Challenges. What I will be doing here are the ‘Writing Challenges’, which pretty much means I must write in my blog about different LoL topics. From the 10th to the 16th I must write an editorial about the game. I can pretty much put ANYTHING in it, as long as it has something to do with my opinion of LoL. So, here it goes:

The Beginning

I at first got introduced to LoL by some kids on the internet. I played a round with them, and, to be honest, I didn’t know where up and down was. It looked both extremely lame and like to much was going on at the same time. Also I had issues with the abbilities. I could use them, but only by clicking on them on-screen, which is a pain in the ass if a teemo is chasing you and you have to use a slow. After that first game I came to this conclusion: What the hell did I just play?

Never the less on the next day, after getting bored of playing minecraft, I decided to go for attempt number 2. It was a bit better than the game I played the day before, but still I wasn’t exactly good at it. But then, after the game had ended, I got the strange sensation that I actualy wanted to play another game, probably because of the great satisfaction it gives you when you get a kill. This is how it continued going on for the next 2 or three days. Then I finaly started to get the hang of it.

The Casual Gamer

At this point I was ‘normal’. I wasn’t a pro and I didn’t know about the important things like jungling, potions or buying stuff in the in-game shop. Now, before I continue I must mention that this indead sounds very much like ‘noob’ instead of ‘normal’, but then again, nowerdays I can barely play a match without one of these guys being in my team, so it sort of is ‘normal’.  I started buying champs in this stage, mostly the cheap ones, like Nunu or Ashe. I also discovered that LoL is funner if you play it with more people over skype or team speak 3. Sadly I wasn’t able to win many games back then.

Considered Good

Here I found out what jungling is and how to succesfuly do it. I found out what buffs do and I started buying stuff. Back here were my first experiences with being fed. I was realy good with champs like Shaco, Kata, Master Yi and Gangplank.

Semi-Pro

This is where I consider myself to be at the moment. I haven’t quite reached level 30 yet, but it’s not like you have to be level 30 to be good. It might be so that when I start playing ranked everyone kills me and then I just stand there and think ‘da fuq?’. It might also come to the conclusion that I kill everyone and turn out to be the biggest freaking pro ever. I don’t know yet. But what I know for sure is that I am doing very well in the games that I play. There are only a couple of things that I don’t know. First of all I SUCK at making builds. It’s a fact. I posted my builds on forums and lots of people wrote stuff like ‘I do like 10 dmg!!!’, or ‘You forgot the boots!!!’. Then there’s also the thing that I can’t use runes and masteries. I guess most of you are laughing at that, but it’s true. If possible can somone please write in the comments how the heck they work? Thx.

So that’s pretty much my story of LoL. The next LoL post should come out some time between the 17th and the 24th of october.

Oh yeah, and if you want to play some LoL with me add me: EssenseOfGaming

CodeSkulptor: Pong

Hi all,

today I will post the ‘thought-to-be’ oldest computer game. Actualy the first video game was a computer version of tic-tac-toe byA.S. Douglas in 1952. Pong wasn’t invented till 20 years later, 1972.

So yeah, click here to get to my pong game. Just press the play button and have fun.

CodeSkulptor: Stopwatch, The Game

Hi all,

seriously, this next game that i’m putting up is not exactly… interesting. I mean, imagine you see someone sitting on a bench trying to stop a stopwatch he has at every full number.

Anyway, so the point of the game is to stop the watch at a whole number, like I said before. Press the play button to start and then at the left side you can see the buttons ‘Start’, ‘Stop’, and ‘Reset’. You can figure out yourself what they do….

Here’s the link: http: //www.codeskulptor.org/#user4-A4P2wd9danxfMPw.py

Have Fun!!!

CodeSkulptor: Guess The Number

Here is my guess the number game. The Rules are pretty simple, pick a range for your game and then try to guess the right number before you run out of guesses. Press play to get started. Have Fun!

CodeSkulptor: Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock

Here is the first game that I created with CodeSkulptor. It is the same as Rock, Paper, Scissors, just with 2 more items.

RULES: Rock beats Lizard and Scissors and gets defeated by Spock and Paper. Paper beats Rock and Spock and gets defeated by Scissors and Lizard. Scissors beats Rock and Spock and gets defeated by Paper and Lizzard. Lizard beats Rock and Scissors and gets defeated by Spock and Paper. Spock beats Rock and Scissors and gets defeated by Paper and Lizzard.

Have Fun!

Introducing CodeSkulptor

Hi all,

so, to get started i’d like to mention that all of the following I know from Coursera, which is a website that gives you courses about stuff. For example I had a class about how to succesfully use gamification (making a website sort of like a game), and the class I will talk about in a second is about making games using the programming language ‘Python’. If you don’t believe me check it out yourself: https://www.coursera.org/

They have classes about all sorts of stuff, from drawing to thinking logicaly. Anyway, so I had this class about programming in Python, and I found this website called CodeSkulptor, which is basicaly the place where I write my code and let it run to see the outcome. Here’s the link to CodeSkulptor: http://www.codeskulptor.org/

Part of the course is to do a so called ‘mini-project’ every week, which means using what you learned in a week to make a certain game. These mini-projects are what I will be posting so that you can maybe play my self-made games if you want to. They’re not at all like minecraft or any other popular game, but they are fun if you see them from the right angle.

Not got much to say about this, just… lol.

Days of a year(Thursday 22. November 2012: Intro)

So, i’ve decided to do this ‘Days of a year’ series. It will pretty much consist of random posts of what I did and thought of on days like these (no special day, but still…). It will be the part of this blog that actualy works like a blog. I will not do this to often, only if there has been no time for me to do anything else. So yeah, hope you have fun reading what some nerd from the internet has to say. Happy reading! (Or something like that)

Essense Of Gaming: We’re back… again!

HELLO WORLD!

Well, it’s me again, Viky. I decided to get this blog going after I have not found the time to do any videos. Maybe i’ll find more time to do this. I will be posting new videos here when they come out, and I will do some reports from time to time. Maybe a top 10 list, or a review of something that doesn’t necessarily have something to do with gaming. For those of you that don’t know me yet, here’s the groups YouTube Channel(click me), and here’s my personal channel(click me too).

Have fun reading my blog: VikingHell

P.S. I’m not a SQUEAKER!
