Video Game Awesomeness Post 11

I went home to Orange County on Monday and played League of Legends with my younger brother for the second time. I decided to play the subdomain tutorial again, that way it was like I was taking a refresher course on how to play the game, and I could learn more about spells. I chose the same character as last time, the blonde girl that resembles me more than any other character. I was using the Identity Principle because I wanted my character to be a surprisingly bad ass chick that could kick anyones ass! I was projecting on the character what I wanted to be like in real life, a chicken tiger! Chicken due to my skinny outward appearance, but a fierce and strong warrior like a tiger. Yes this is something I have been called before funny enough. I started to try and understand the whole spell thing because last time I randomly picked 3 spells and would click the same one every time even though it only worked every 2 minute. A lot can happen in this game in 2 minutes if your clicking s spell that won't work.

This is where the Practice Principle came into play. I would fight the enemy over and over again using different spells until I got the hang of what spell was best to use at one time. Still don't really know what they are called, but my favorite is the blue ball thing where light escapes from. This made my weapon shoot out 4 lasers and kill multiple of my enemies at once! My brother got tired of watching me play the tutorial and made me continue to playing the actual domain.   I still was the worst player on the team, but at least I wasn't running around like a chicken with it's head cut off. I died the most often, but I did contribute in killing the enemy and destroying some of the purple towers. What I noticed about League of Legends this time around was that the game uses a lot of text to tell the player what to do instead of symbols. There are symbols in the game, like the power up symbol, but a lot of the insight or instructions are via text. Also the chat box that allows the player to chat with the other players is constantly going off, and I have no idea how people are chatting while playing the game. They must play this a lot!
