On Saturday the 20th of June me and my father travelled to Frankfurt for the ESL One DOTA 2 tournament. We managed to stay for 3 quarter final games before we had to return to the UK, and I'll recap the day's events now.

App Review No. 87 sn
Strong Points:
A nice reinvention of Snake
Gradual difficulty
The free movement aspect leads to some interesting maneuvers
Addictive
Weak Points:
Some graphical lag/jagged animation
For a reinvention, there's not much changed
The 'snake' head follows you just in front of your finger (not on it)
Frustrating
Rating: 50%

PC Building: Week 5 - Last Minute Changes and Ordering
After a discussion about cooling with my Dad, I have decided to replace the stock CPU cooler, I have decided to buy a Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO, as reviews state that this will give my components a longer life, and the system will run cooler and quieter. I also decided to change my mouse, keyboard and headset for a bundle, as they were cheaper, and matched better together.
This has been a Behind the Team post from Thomas (The Stacinator). Bye for now!
I also received the case for Christmas, and have gained enough money to order my components from various sources. All in all, it cost just over £900.
Merry Belated Christmas (again), and Happy Belated New Year!

Video Game Character of the Month - July 2015 - Lt. Morgan - Battle Nations
Video Game Character of the Month
July 2015
Lt. Morgan
Battle Nations
Battle Nations
Overview:
"Lt. Morgan reporting for duty, sir."
"At ease, Lt. Now, I think it is time to talk about your promotion."
"Oh, thank you sir!"
"Now, as you know, you have performed admirably as part of the 95th Rifle Company and so..." *Sniff, Sniff* "Is that alcohol on your breath?"
"Alcohol? No, no, of course not!"
"Lt. you are dismissed."
And, that is why Lt. Morgan is a Lieutenant and not a Captain.

Its own autocorrect can break it (lemon is not the same as watermelon, guys!)
Some of the levels contain one really obvious (high points) answer and many 1 point answers

E3 Roundup 2015: Microsoft
Right then, so I'm going to try to be a bit more on time this year in terms of the E3 posts (and, as this is the last one, it looks like I have been!). In this post, I shall be rounding up Microsoft's E3 conference and will include information on all of the games, trailers and any other bits of news I can gather from the conference. Of course, spoilers will ensue. Enjoy.
PC Building: Week 3 - Price Comparisons
This week, I performed price comparisons on all of my components to find the best possible deal for the item I want. I managed to get a price for all of my required parts, and have pasted them below.

First Impressions: Terrorhedron
A few weeks ago, there was a game on sale on Steam for 19p, which Oli decided to buy me (thanks Oli!). That game was Terrorhedron, a 3D tower defence game where you have to defend your base at incoming 3D shapes (hence the name 'Terrorhedron' - a pun on the word 'Tetrahedron' - the simplest 3D shape - made of equilateral triangles).
