Inside My Brain

Heroes of Newerth (HoN) is an online, multi-player, computer strategy game. This type of game is called a MOBA, which stands for multiplayer online battle arena. I have been playing mirrors of HoN for the past seven years. When I say mirror I am referring to DotA which is exactly the same game as HoN, except that HoN is a newer version of the game created and updated and slightly twisted by another gaming company called S2 Gaming. I have been playing HoN for the past three years and I love it. The game is quite simple to understand, yet it has deep and very complex dynamics. Each round is a match that lasts between 15 minutes to an hour or even more. There are two teams competing against each other, each having five players. Each palyer selects one hero from a total of over 100 heroes and you control this hero for the duration of the game until one team beats the other. The objective is to team up with your teammates and strategically outsmart the other team and defeat them in various battles. There are many spells and items in this game which makes it very hard to comprehend at first. This game requires ambition and critical thinking as well as being a team player. I feel that this game has taught me how to operate and communicate effectively and efficiently within a team in time-crunched situations. The game has recently become free to play and can be downloaded here.
