Let me tell you something about 1200-1450 ELO.
Okay, lets get some things out of the air first. I’ve been playing MOBA’s for quite some time now. I play Dota OG back in 2009 alot with friends and we played pretty much everyday straight for a year. Then all the new ones started coming out like HoN and LoL, and of course we started migrating to them. We stayed at LoL for quite some time, until I kind of just quit for a year. When Dota 2 was announced, I decided to try and play that since I managed to get a beta key. I played that for months on end until around summer my friend told me to come back to LoL, which I did. I then decided I would try and actually do ranked when the season rolled over. That happened a month or two ago.
So where am I now? Well, I started playing ranked and it went alright for a bit, mainly cause I was playing duo queue with a friend who had been rated Platinum in solo queue. And then shit started going downhill when I did real solo queue. People are just…. fucking terrible. They have no communication skills, and of course this being the MOBA scene, have the biggest egos in the world and pretend they are the hottest shit ever. It’s so fucking unfair. I do so well and my team just fucks everything up. I mean, sometimes I have my own messups, but not of a fucking catastrophic level as my team does. And I know what the first response to this is. Why am I not good enough to carry my team? Because these people can’t be carried. They feed, make really terrible plays, blame you, make you feel like shit, expect the fucking world out of you, and if you let them down in any way, they rage on you and feed harder.
It’s so unfair. I just want to play with people who are good. Not with people who fucking try Lee Sin for the first time in ranked (thanks Thecakeisal11e). And then I get all the flack for it for calling them out on it, like I made some kind of terrible choice by playing with these people even though its random matchmaking.
I don’t know. Maybe I am just fucking terrible at this game and I should just feel bad. But I want you all to know something else. LoL is completely unfair in that unless you fork out shit tons of money or play for months without end, you can never play ranked properly because you won’t have all the rune pages and heroes which basically loses you the game. I know they need to make a profit somehow, but it really breaks the ranked gameplay when you are limited to only what you have used points on.
Catchy title goes here
So if anyone has been wondering why I haven’t been posting on my own blog, it’s because I swamp myself every season with 25 shows and on top of that I’m playing a lot of LoL because I want to try and go pro and join a team. Long shot, but fuck it whatever. My friend already has a really good ELO and is training me/with me. So…. yeah. Probably gonna clean the blog soon and revise what I do here.

Am I back in action?
Nope. I just barely got the new hard drive from UPS today. The “retailer” I ordered it from hadn’t sent it until yesterday. Apparently they didn’t even have it in stock when I ordered it (even though it said “in stock” on the item page), so when they got their latest shipment they sent me mine.
Long story short, I don’t know what’s wrong now. My motherboard recognizes the drive, and I can install Windows on to it, but when I go to boot, it doesn’t recognize the MBR (master boot record). I called WD about it, and the guy suggested that I update the BIOS since I am reinstalling with a new HDD that is more than twice the size of my old one. If that doesn’t work, then I have to call WD back and do more troubleshooting.
This shit is such a nightmare. I have barely been on the internet the last week. A little facebook, a little twitter, DLing/streaming anime, and that’s it. It’s extremely depressing. I didn’t even know about the Toonami is Back thing until about an hour ago.
Also, all this has made me realize how fucking dependent on my computer I am. It’s kinda scary, but I don’t think it’s something I can change. I’m in way to deep with the amount of money I have thrown down to have my own machine. I just want it to work again so I can get back to playing Dota 2.
BTW, Tormaid if you read this, I’m pretty sure I lost all my data on my old drive. So for now, Persona4 and Sacred Seven encodes are dropped. Hopefully I can get my computer up soon so I can at least finish Blood-C.
My hard drive just failed on me.
I sure hope I didn’t lose all that hentai I’ve been collecting all this time. That would really suck. And now I’m out $240 dollars for a new HDD. Not to mention I’ll have to hunt down installers and firmware that I need again. Joy.
Review: The Daily Lives of High School Boys
Danshiko as it is called by the fans (or even Nichibros) was a no-punches comedy about… well, high school boys and what they do. Pretty straight forward. Brought to us by SUNRISE, surprisingly. With it’s huge array of hilarious male seiyuu, it quickly became a fan favorite. It was even licensed by NIS America before airing even started!
Review: Guilty Crown
Guilty Crown stormed the scene last winter boasting a great creative staff, and having the honor of being only the 4th series in noitaminA history to be a two-cour series. Some claimed this would help it, some said it wouldn’t. With director Tetsuro Araki (Death Note, Highschool of the Dead) and Hiroyuki Yoshino (Mai-Hime, Code Geass) helming the project at legendary Production I.G, was this massive budget project a smash hit, or a flop?
