Video Game Review: League of Legends - Part 1: The Game Itself

I recently quit League of Legends due to a combination of circumstances. Before I leave it entirely behind, though, I want to take a little time to write about my experiences with the game. It's a fun little game, as are its brethren, but I got what I wanted out of them and am free to go onto other things.

Gaming Rant: Five Hundred Hours Are Not Enough

As my Steam page informs me, I have officially played five hundred and one hours of Left 4 Dead 2 as of last night (Update: As of 8/7/12, that amount is up to almost 740 hours). Considering I bought the game when it was new (a year and a half ago), I can safely say this is ridiculous, and that I am ridiculous by extension. It’s not as if I play the game competitively. I’m not part of a league, nor am I in the business of making new maps for the game. There’s challenging aspects on the higher difficulties, but it’s rare that I play on anything above Normal. So, clearly I don’t play it for the challenge, and I’m not insane enough to think game development is good for anything other than melting my brain into slag.
