So what do you think of the latest Counter Strike – Global Offensive? What was your favorite weapon?

While on one hand, Xbox 360 has managed to attract many, on the other hand, it has also managed to disappoint many with the disputed errors of this game console that keep on evolving every now and then. Here is a good piece of news for all the Xbox users, Microsoft has announced to extend the period of licensed warranty in order to solve the arising problems with Xbox that plenty of users are experiencing. Many reviews claim that people have felt that this game console is much of a headache as it usually starts malfunctioning. It is obviously extremely annoying when you have to face problems every so often as you then have to start searching for a reliable source of Xbox 360 repair. Nevertheless, the fans of this gaming console still compliment its features as exciting and electrifying, despite having to encounter problems.

If you come across problems with your Xbox and fortunately, your game console deceived you within the licensed warranty period then you should at once send it to the Microsoft Company instead of wasting your time on reading Xbox 360 repair articles.

Nevertheless, you will be required to show your warranty license and invoice details to authentic distributors in order to prove that you have bought a genuine product of Microsoft.

Defense of the Ancient 6.69 is finally out, without new characters.

I would like to shift in to the  fun part of my blog which is – “Gaming”. I’ve been featuring DotA several  characters in this blog, but it never got excited when I mention to my DotA Peeps about Icarus the Phoenix. A lot of DotA fans out there has been so excited with the latest version of DotA , and every body thought that Icarus the Phoenix will be included in the recently released DotA 6.69. Anyhow, IceFrog did included Icarus the Phoenix in this released, but as a Hidden Quest and was later on remove in the DotA 6.69b to balance characters.

DotA 6.69b – Bug Fixed

IceFrog the God of DotA fixed a few bugs in released 6.69.  In which,  the patch is focused primarily on balance improvements. Rather than wait until more content is finished for one bigger patch, He decided to release a smaller patch first for general gameplay improvements while working on content for next patch. Meantime DotA 6.69 contain a hidden secret which will allow you to fight Icarus the Phoenix. To fight him, you must destroy the PreRune, the Red Runes and then kill all the IceFrogs on the map. IceFrog also did some cosmetic revision on the loading screen(note its all sentinel characters):

Defense of the Ancient 6.68, You thought you’ve seen it all!

“Development is underway on the next patch DotA 6.69. It won’t take as long to release as the previous version did.” according to Ice Frog (Developer of DotA). But either way, here the latest characters from DotA 6.68. They said that, Icarus the Phoenix didn’t make his way to Dota 6.68 and probably will be included on the next map which is Dota 6.69. Dota 6.69 will probably contains a lot of balances after the huge changes on Dota 6.68.

So below is the latest character from DotA 6.68:

Far Seer | Thrall

Being raised by humans as a gladiator, Thrall learned more about strategy and tactics as a youth than even experienced orcish warchiefs learned in their lives. After escaping from the human slavery and meeting Grom Hellscream, he found out that he was a descendant of the Frostwolf clan. He traveled to his ancestor’s village, where he became familiar with the spiritual magics of the orcish shamans. Now he combines not only his control over thunder, but also his tactical abilities to turn fights in his favor using impenetrable walls of magic, areas of static energy and even control over time.

Statistics:

• Affiliation: Sentinel
• Attack Animation: 0.4/0.5
• Damage: 49-53
• Casting Animation: 0.05/1.0
• Armor: 1
• Base Attack Time: 1.7
• Movespeed: 300
• Missile Speed: 1200
• Attack Range: 600
• Sight Range: 1800/800

IO | Guardian Wisp

Originally nothing more than a lowly spirit of the trees, Io dwelt peacefully amongst his kind in the Great Forest. As the Great War spread across the land the creatures of the forest were forced to defend their home. The desire to protect his kin awoke power in Io he had not known he possessed. He discovered he was able to connect his life force to another creature to strengthen them or help them flee by instantly transporting them out of harm. Io became known amongst his people as the Guardian Wisp, a protector of the Spirits. All other spirits swore to assist him and can be summoned to his side to aid him in his battle. Uninterested in the battle between the Sentinel and the Scourge, Io fights only to protect his people.

Statistics:

• Affiliation: Sentinel
• Attack Animation: 0.15/0.4
• Damage: 33-42
• Casting Animation: 0.01/0.51
• Armor: 0
• Base Attack Time: 1.7
• Movespeed: 295
• Missile Speed: 1600
• Attack Range: 525
• Sight Range: 1800/800

Shadow Demon | Eredar

Long before the war of the Scourge and the Sentinel, an ancient demon named Eredar waged war on all creation. No champion of Light could match him, but he was betrayed and killed by his own underlings. However, the faintest sliver of his shadow survived; over the millenia Eredar regained a portion of his former being and grows stronger each day, but in a twist of fate his new form was that of a gnoll. Eredar’s new form is not well suited to direct confrontation, but he knows a number of objurations and tricks to deal with his foes; his skills include banishment, poison, curses, and darker demonic arts.

Statistics:

• Affiliation: Scourge
• Attack Animation: 0.35/0.5
• Damage: 53-57
• Casting Animation: 0.3/0.51
• Armor: 3
• Base Attack Time: 1.7
• Movespeed: 295
• Missile Speed: 900
• Attack Range: 500
• Sight Range: 1800/800

Gyrocopter | Aurel Vlaicu

Raised amongst the dwarven mining clan, Aurel grew up with a fascination for making things explode. Such tendencies were considered healthy in the mining society as a dwarf’s skill with explosives determined his pay, his rank and of course, his popularity amongst the females. Unlike the rest of the clan however, Aurel sought to use his skills for more than just blowing up rocks. By combining controlled detonations with thick metal to direct their force, Aurel is able to create everything from engines to missles. Excited to be able to put his inventions to the test, Aurel’s presence on the battlefield promises to be a blast!

Statistics:

• Affiliation: Sentinel
• Attack Animation: 0.2/0.97
• Damage: 41-51
• Casting Animation: 0.3/0.5
• Armor: 2
• Base Attack Time: 1.7
• Movespeed: 305
• Missile Speed: 3000
• Attack Range: 375
• Sight Range: 1800 / 800

These four new exciting character are something to take  experiment for. I’ve been using IO the Wisp Guardian for quite a while and as a range strength character I find it very ideal in team game. IO is has a very strong harassing skill, the Spirits can be used to escape also to chase a enemy hero. The damage looks first very low – but when all 5 spirits hit a enemy hero, he takes good damage. The increasing and decreasing the range the spirits dances around Io is useful too. Increase it when you lane to screw the enemy’s denies also their last hits. Decrease it when you’re very near to them. Another interesting to try is Gyrocopter, even though I’m having trouble pronounce his name, Gyrocopter is so easy to handle. I like his skill set and it effects too. With this character you will be able to have first kill as easy a one two three.  So guys take your pick.

Defense of the Ancient Rise of the New Hereos

On the latest version of DotA (Defence of the Ancient) 6.66 new characters was added by Ice Frog. The latest DotA version 6.66 was release last January 13, 2010 which corrected map exploits and bugs.

The Newest Heroes are:

Slark – The Murloc Nightcrawler

Str: 21 + 1 | Agi: 21 + 2 | Int: 16 + 1.6
Damage: | HP: 0 | Mana: 0
HP Regen: | Mana Regen:
Attack Speed: | Armor: 0

In the deepest, blackest pits of the ocean a fearsome and terrifying creature lurks. Bending the shadows to his will, few have seen his true form and none have lived to speak of it. For the shadows are his sanctuary, a place of empowerment and revitalization. Bathed in this impenetrable darkness he strikes unseen, every attack making him swifter and more powerful whilst weakening his enemy. A unbreakable leash awaits all who try to escape, leaving them at mercy of this horrifying phantom. By sacrificing a fraction of his soul, his pact with darkness allows him break even the most powerful bonds and curses. With echoes of the Great War reaching every corner of the earth, this creature, known only as Slark, has emerged from the depths to search for an ancient relic…

Kaldr – The Ancient Apparition

Statistics:
Range: 600 | Move Speed: 295

Damage: | HP: 0 | Mana: 0
HP Regen: | Mana Regen:
Attack Speed: | Armor: 0

About Kaldr
Defeated in a battle long forgotten, this once great mage was banished to a tomb of ice for all eternity. For countless ages he lay in unbearable anguish until he was discovered by minions of the Lich King. In a vain attempt to gain favor with this ancient soul for his own purposes, the Lich King released him. But this soul no longer knew gratitude, it no longer knew friend from foe, it knew only pain. With it’s body long since decayed, the soul took up the only form it knew. Consumed with hatred, even a touch from this monstrosity causes agony. Able to conjure devastating ice storms with a mere thought and hurl soul-shattering bolts of frost seemingly impossible distances, this creature punishes all who dare to stand their ground against it.

Cairne Bloodhoof – Tauren Chieftain

Statistics:

Range: 150 | Move Speed: 310
Primary: STR
Str: 24 + 2.3 | Agi: 14 + 1.5 | Int: 23 + 1.6
Damage: 47-57 | HP: 606 | Mana: 299
HP Regen: 0.97 | Mana Regen: 0.93
Attack Speed: 0.67 | Armor: 3

About Cairne Bloodhoof

Since ancient times it has been prophesized by the Tauren elders that a Chieftain will come, strong as the mightiest warriors and wise as the eldest shamans. After many years of wandering the sacred lands, seeking wisdom from his forefathers, Cairne Bloodhoof has proven himself as the long awaited hero. Cairne carries with him the spirit of his mightiest ancestor, and now the ground shakes with the combined strength of the Chieftain and his guardian spirit. No physical nor magical barrier can reduce the power of his enchanted halberd, the weapon used by his guardian in ancient times. Such is the power of this axe that it can split the very earth itself. Seeking revenge for the ravaging of his homeland, Cairne will soon bring his wrath upon the Scourge.

Jin’zakk – Batrider

Statistics:
Range: 375 | Move Speed: 290
Primary: INT
Str: 23 + 2.0 | Agi: 15 + 1.5 | Int: 24 + 2.5
Damage: 48-52 | HP: 587 | Mana: 312
HP Regen: 0.94 | Mana Regen: 0.97
Attack Speed: 0.68 | Armor: 3

About Jin’zakk
Once an expendable spy, Jin’zakk has outlived the suicidal tendencies of other Bat Riders to create a unique style, one that favours control and precision instead of wanton destruction. His years of battle experience have allowed him to innovate creative uses for his fiery arts: He can douse enemies in a bath of sticky oil that restricts their movements before igniting it, fire an explosive that blows enemies away, or take flight to leave behind a trail of flame. However, his most deadly skill involves lassoing his opponent and dragging the unfortunate foe into the arms of his allies.

Since the release of these new heroes, I’ve been enjoying skills of the Bat Rider specially the stick napalm and flamebreak combo. It’s awesome for farming creeps.

Have you tried one these heroes? Can you share your level and item build guide. Enjoy!
