Dawn of War II is amazing.
Why do I say that? Because it’s true. I haven’t finished the game, nor have I played all the armies in skirmish but I have to say it really is quite fun.
I got Dawn of War II this Thursday from Derek, lol… first off, this game is so pirated. :P there is no install, no crack, just copy the game into your harddrive (or is it ONTO? Bah… my grammar is horrid) and then play! Anyways… it works fine, and I love it.
The single player is like Dawn of War I’s single player. It’s a Blood Raven Space Marine Chapter campaign. However, instead of the evil Chaos Marines of Alpha Legion you face off against the Tyranid (which I learned I had been pronouncing wrong this entire time! Lol… I pronounce half my vocabulary wrong. I suppose that’s to be expected since most of the people I hang with don’t speak English as their first language and I don’t use half my vocabulary regularly. :p) So anyways… you fight against the ‘nids the orks and the eldar. The game starts pretty much the same, the orks are attacking and we need to stop them, then it turns out that the eldar were manipulating the orks into attacking this area because the nids were coming and now we’re all doomed because the nids will destroy us all!
So that’s the plot… yes, it’s quite shallow but it’s all the game really needs. Warhammer 40k isn’t known for its amazing plots now, is it? So long as those plots allow for lots of violence and battle, then we’re all happy.
What makes Dawn of War II so different from Dawn of War I is that the campaign is… like an RPG. You get a force commander, a scout squad, a devastator squad, an assault squad, a tactical squad, a later a Dreadnought and you can take your force commander and 3 other squads out on a bunch of missions. As they complete missions they get EXP and sometimes the enemy will drop “Wargear” (read: loot!). At the end of the mission you can level up squads by increasing one of their four skills: health, ranged attack, melee attack, and their special power stuff (what I would call magic power if this game was fantasy…), as well as giving them better equipment.
Now, all your units have their own specializations, but you can mess some stuff around. For instance, the tactical squad is meant to be a ranged “tank” unit and has some powers that make people attack them. However, you can give them chainswords and attack, or a flamer or a plasma gun, or even a missile launcher. Your commander is meant to use melee weapons, but he can also wield a heavy bolter with some leveling. Right now I’m playing everyone to their strengths, tactical squad with bolters, assault squad with chainswords, commander with a power weapon. But next time I play through the campaign I wanna try it all messed up. Give my assault squad bolters and my tactical squad chainswords… that’ll be… fun. :P
My only complaint towards the game would have to be the squad sizes. Your commander has no retinue, and while I can live with that, its somewhat unfluffy… and stupid. Then again, he’s only in charge of like 5 squads and only takes like 3 of them with him on missions, so they’re rather small scale battles. But your squads… are hardly that. Your scout, devastator, and assault squad are 3 man squads, your tactical squad has 4 guys. Sorry, but a sergeant and two bodies does not make a squad, I don’t care what you say. I think they did it for balance reasons, since the orks and the nids have 8 man squads that get eaten alive by a marine tactical squad. So in bigger battles if you wanted 5 man squads (which would mean something like 20 men in a marine army. :P) you’d be fighting… 53ish nids, and I can see how that would be a problem. Still, I don’t like the squad sizes.
Anyways… it’s a good game.

More DotA
So… I think I learned a valuable lesson in DotA yesterday: I do not do well in mid game.
Early game, I can do really well. Because no one else really focuses on Last hitting so much I manage to farm quite well… but once I go back to base 1 or 2 times I start o do much worse.
Also, I don’t think I’ve yet learned exactly how to play lighter (read: agility and int heroes) very well. I can play them decently, but I tend to do better as str heroes. Though I remember when I played Vengeful Spirit I did really good… and that was fun.
Or maybe these games I just didn’t have as good a team or wasn’t as necessary to the team so I didn’t do that good. I dunno…
Also, I’ve recently read that Heart’s 1% health heal bonus does not stack. This is annoying, but I can understand why. Centaur Warchieft, with 2 hearts can easily have 3000+ health and some 60 health regen. Add a satanic to that (or even just a basic mask of death) and you have an ungodly amount of health… a beast of pure tanking power that just cannot die.
So… I’ve fooled around with morphling and I don’t like my str build for him. So I’m going to try and get 2 butterflies for him next time I play the guy and see how that goes. The way I figure it its probably a better idea to focus on agility (since last time I played I actually ended up with what I felt was too much health). Also, I need to up the difficult of the AIs again… I’ll have to start throwing in a few insanes to my usual Normals. I used to play against insanes with normal exp (they don’t gain bonus exp) but that got so easy it wasn’t funny. So then I switch to Normals with bonus exp… and now I’m going to try and work my way up to 5 insanes against me… something that will probably not happen for a LONG time (I can play against 3 easys with some heroes… but I still usually lose).
Oh, and Derek has Dawn of War II… so I’ll try and get that on Thursday. I tried to get it yesterday but he was out of his house the entire day because of exams… Dawn of War II souns amazing.

DotA stuff
Morphling… is really weird.
Morphling, in case you didn’t know is one of the many heroes on Defense of the Ancients, a Custom Map (read: Mod) for Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne that I play. I play it a lot, actually, both with my friends on the weekend, and at home during the week.
Anyways… morphling… okay, morphling is a ranged agility hero, this means he focuses on doing lots of damage really fast, and as a ranged hero does this from a distance. HOWEVER, while he is a ranged hero he has the power to switch his strength and agility stats around. What does this mean? It means he can suddenly get a lot of health (which strength gives you) and lower his attack speed. Or he can have a tiny amount of health, but lots of damage and attack speed… or he can switch between the two.
Now, as you can imagine, the power to suddenly have an additional 500 health is quite useful. I played around with him a bit, not much, but just enough to familiarize myself with him… and I think I like him, but realize playing him really well is probably above me. (Where with someone like Dwarven Sniper, Razor or Skeleton King I can play very easily… they’re easy heroes). However, I have a somewhat useful build for him.
First off, since he’s an agility hero, I decided to focus on Agility, not strength, which is something that I think most people will do. Then I started off with various items… Phase Boots, a brace and a wraith band, and the headdress of rejuvenation (because I think its worth the etra 311 gold to get +2 to all stats in one slot… and the AoE regen, even if it is pitiful is still AoE regen). Then I decided to get Sange and Yasha. I did this because my brother told me to (and he knows a lot more about build ups for heroes than I do...) but also because it made sense. I can have a lot of strength or a lot of Agility, so get a balanced item that has good powers. So I got Yasha and Sange, then I decided, since I’m an agility hero to get Butterfly, the default Agility hero item of choice. (What’s not to like? 30 Agility, 30 Evasion… 30 other stuff). But as I used this, I realized actually I should consider another build:
2 Heart of Tarrasque. XD
Why? Well… lots of health regen is always good. Plus, with 50 strength from those I can basically have 1 strength base and still have enough health and regen to not die really fast.
This might sound like a completely stupid, idiotic build… but I’m going to try it. If it works… I’ll laugh. :P
Also… this chapter in Chemistry has actually been somewhat fun. Working with atoms is much better than that nasty Stoichiometry stuff… gack!

Kid's Camp 2009
Camp was last week.
What is camp? Well, “Camp” is really “Kid’s Camp”. It’s a weekend event that happens every year around the end of February/Early March. Kid’s Camp is run by AG Church in Maghbazar (my church) and every year usually about 100+ kids (this year we had only 80ish though… more on that later) come.
This year however, things were a bit different. First off, as some of you might know, the Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) mutinied and killed a lot of their officers and caused a lot of chaos and stuff, as a result, the people in charge of Organizing camp were unsure if we should run camp because they did not if the BDR were going to continue to munity or if the situation would mellow out. As a result, about ½ of the people who signed up were actually told that Camp was cancelled. It wasn’t, but the damage was done: on the first day we only had like… 48 kids. However, thanks to the heroics of one of the camp organizers, Auntie Diane (btw… I call all older women Auntie and all older men Uncle... I’m not related to her) we managed to get another 32 kids to come to camp on the 2nd day after breakfast.
So, other than that, Camp went quite normally. However, it was quite sad that out of the 136 children that signed up only 80 came…
The theme this year was Super Heroes, and how Jesus is our Inner Hero. All the team’s had super hero names like Powerful Patriots (My team), Super Soldiers, Amazing Avengers (winning team), Truthful Troopers, Incredible Invincible (I swear… they ran out of names and threw together this team name). My team wasn’t amazing… but we had some good kids. We had to really cute little girls… I’d say my team was about average. The councilors for my team were: me (Jr. Councilor) Raimey and Derek. I had the best councilors. :D. No honestly, they were great, and I think we all had a good time, even if we ended up in like 6th place (out of 8).
What else… the Worship was good. I found out how good of a voice Maxim has. The speakers, a guest team from Calcutta, did a good job, they had some fun songs we sang (such as… Grin Again Gang Get Gung-ho about Jesus… which you sing REALLY fast).
Every year the teams all have to do a skit/play thingie, usually focusing on a specific verse or idea that the camp was about. So this year we all were superheroes who found out without Jesus we couldn’t do much. My team had the evil Dr. Disco face off against Super Strong Girl, Y Girl, and (for Copyright reasons) the Guy Who Tells Jokes. :D Dr. Disco danced them all into zombies until Pastor Gus (who was the guest speaker… :P) came in and told Dr. Disco that he couldn’t have the “secret power” because the secret was in our hearts! We didn’t win, but I liked our Skit a lot this year, it was a whole lot better than last year’s skit.
Also, I felt quite bit that this camp was a milestone for the younger generation at Kid’s Camp. For various reasons Nathan and Jacob ended up leading their teams, even though they weren’t prepare for it nor were supposed to. Also the people who started camp 12 years ago Mark and Daleene (sp?), are leaving Bangladesh for good. They may never come back. But, looking at Camp, I don’t think that’s to big of a deal. 12 years ago, the camp leader, Josephine, was a kid, a camper, now she is in charge of camp! Next year, Max and Jacob will probably be ready to be Sr. Councilors. Me and Julius and Naomi can all be Jr. Councilors. People are leaving, but they have left a new generation with the tools to continue their works.
And… that’s all I have to say.

Update...
You know what’s kinda sad? Read the following:
Amaranth
Bye Bye Beautiful
The Islander
Cadence of Her Last Breath
Eva
You know what that is? That’s my top 5 songs (all preformed by Finnish Symphonic metal band Nightwish). :P Which is really weird, because, if you talked to me about music you’d expect me to be a complete Nightwish Freak who only listens to Nightwish, especially their newest album.
What funny though is that I’m actually not. I actually prefer music like Killswitch Engage, Demon Hunter, As I Lay Dying, Iron Maiden, Dio, and various Powermetal type bands. I LOVE Nightwish, don’t get me wrong, and they ARE a good band, but I don’t obsess about them to an unnatural level (like some people I know…)
Still, I do have to admit, at least three of those songs (the top 3) really do deserve those places. If I had to pick another two though I’d replace Eva (which I really don’t actually like… lol) with probably Alexander the Great by Iron Maiden (EPIC GUITAR SOLO!!!!!!) and Cadence of Her Last Breath with End of Heartache by Killswitch Engage (AMAZING MELODIES!!!!!).
So… in case you’re not on Facebook (which I think most people reading this blog are…) I thought I should tell you: I have purple hair.
Actually, it’s more pinkish, but it was purple hair dye. It looks cool. I did it for the upcoming AG Kid’s Camp where a bunch of us (read: my family, Julius, Max, Sarah, Derek and maybe Jo) are all dying are hair purple… THE PURPLE PEOPLE ARE HERE! :D
Also… we played DotA on Friday, my team won 3 out of 4 games. This is really cool because I’m used to being the loser. I mean… my team has won MOST games. Then again… I think this might have something to do with me always being with Derek. That or I’ve just gotten really good… and I don’t think this is the case.
And I can’t think of anything else to post… and I need to do something else, so I’ll stop writing.

Weekend and Winter Break
Weekends are really fun… this weekend was no exception.
I didn’t have to do anything at DIA (the service I’ve normally been going to) so I slept in a few minutes and went with my family to AG Maghbazar.
Good service, mostly. Pastor Freek (pronounced frek, NOT Freek like I thought when I was a little kid. I laughed so hard when I first read his name…) spoke and it was a good sermon. His sermons used to be really bad, but he’s gotten much better and presenting himself. The message was really good too.
Afterwards we went to the Club and had lunch. We had pizza. Then, as we did last week we went to the game café to play some DotA!
Friday night, I got my SAT scores back… *sigh* the entire “getting into college” thing really stresses me out. My scores were good, I mean, obviously they could have been better but I’m not an idiot and I didn’t bomb or anything. I’ll take the SAT again in May and the ACT I’ll take in April. Hopefully between the three exams I’ll get a good score that’ll get me into Baylor. If not, if not I’m applying elsewhere.
And no, Brian, there is no chance I’ll be going to Chicago. Sorry. The scores weren’t near high enough.
So, we managed to play 2 full games and two half-games… the two half games were interrupted because of power issues. Stupid country and no generators. Anyways, it was amazing. I played as Dwarven Sniper the last game and… I OWNED! By the end of the game, I was beyond godlike IIRC. I think I made a triple kill too.
On Saturday instead of 4him we played Volleyball and Soccer (football). Volleyball was good, soccer less so but I did enjoy it. I enjoyed myself all around.
And I have winter break this week so I’ll be very lazy and do as little productive work as possible. :P

February Update
So… what have I done recently?
Well, first off its my sister’s B-day today, which is cool, she’s 16 (SO OLD! :p). I think she doesn’t want to get any older, but remain eternally a 16 year old struggling over chemistry, geometry and English II. :P I want to get older (well… till I turn about 23… then I want to stop).
I played DotA at the café with my friends on Friday. It was amazing. We played two games, first game was all random (computer randomly picks 1 hero for you to play). That was kinda annoying (I got treant… I hate treant. I can play him, but I hate him. :P). The 2nd game was Single Draft (SD) where you can pick from three different random heroes. I played Viper.. who I really didn’t like that, but hiser/it was a good hero. I think what made that game slightly annoying was the fact that everyone always killed me. We still won (possibly BECAUSE they killed me instead of other heroes), so that was good I guess.
The best thing about these games was that we had, for the first time ever, a full five on five match. That made the game really good, because I mean, DotA is MEANT to be played with ten people. It makes the game SO much better.
What else… Camp is in a week. What’s camp? Well, its basically where my Church (AG Maghbazar) takes a bunch of kids (between 150-200… depends on how many register) to a place outside of Dhaka where we divide into teams compete against each other for some random prizes and learn about God (emphasis on the God part). It’s awesome. More or less the goal for us (the councilors… I’m a junior counselor for my 3rd year running) is to keep the kids in check and very tired. We don’t get much sleep (on purpose. :P).
Camp is always awesome because: A) we have fun B) we learn about God in some AWESOME ways. Every year I’ve been to camp I’ve experienced God in a new way. I’m hoping this will be the best one yet.
Oh, I’m dying my hair purple for Camp. :P I’ll post pictures after I do it.
What else… I’ve started playing Oblivion, which is good. I now have a high level character who’s done good in a lot of quests. I have Orcish armor, a glass sword and a dwarven shield (steel helmet still… but I’m working on that! Helmets are hard to find).
And… oh, I’m reading Dragons of Autumn Twilight by Weis and Hickman for a book report I need to do later in the school year. I may not be able to finish it before the report, but I’ve read the book before so that shouldn’t be a problem.

Well, its basically where my Church (AG Maghbazar) takes a bunch of kids (between 150-200… depends on how many register) to a place outside of Dhaka where we divide into teams compete against each other for some random prizes and learn about God (emphasis on the God part). It’s awesome. More or less the goal for us (the councilors… I’m a junior counselor for my 3rd year running) is to keep the kids in check and very tired. We don’t get much sleep (on purpose. :P).
Camp is always awesome because: A) we have fun B) we learn about God in some AWESOME ways. Every year I’ve been to camp I’ve experienced God in a new way. I’m hoping this will be the best one yet.
Oh, I’m dying my hair purple for Camp. :P I’ll post pictures after I do it.
What else… I’ve started playing Oblivion, which is good. I now have a high level character who’s done good in a lot of quests. I have Orcish armor, a glass sword and a dwarven shield (steel helmet still… but I’m working on that! Helmets are hard to find).
And… oh, I’m reading Dragons of Autumn Twilight by Weis and Hickman for a book report I need to do later in the school year. I may not be able to finish it before the report, but I’ve read the book before so that shouldn’t be a problem.
