Talk to him, TS.

Seems like he is heavily addicted to DotA. You have to do something to let him know that gaming isnt the only thing he have to be concern with. He needs to be concern with you too, and his daily life.

I am a gamer myself, but i believe that there is a limit in these gaming addictions. It's alright to get totally addicted for once in a while, but never for long term.

I can get totally addicted to a new game once in a while, but I will snap out of it after like a few days to 1 week.

Meh.

Life's unfair.

Hmm, same batch as me, but different uni.

Go get Steam and play some real games man.

DotA is just 1% of what PC gaming could offer you.

Well, just be strong and move on then.

Im doing civil engineering, 3rd year, 2nd sem.

I wont call it closer to you, cause im on the other side of the coast, Sydney.

Heard of these subjects in my uni, everyone says its hard.

Anyway, nice to meet you and welcome to LYN.

Yea, about 5 hour flight from Perth.

It's fun, would say, rather than civil is hard. It has it's challenges too.

Still, might be getting myself in a rather nasty thesis.

There are like so many games out there.

Just go try something else la. Games like Team Fortress 2 are good place to start. It's 9.99USD on Steam.

It is still the best game that money can buy.

Been playing for almost 2 years, im still not bored of it. There is a guy in Games Hideout played this game to get over his depression after his gf dump him.

It's an online multiplayer game, something like CS and the lot, but this is way more fun. Extremely addictive, funny, fun and have longevity. Great Australian community, and there are servers back home that is full at night. If you like shooters, i strongly recommend you to get it. Even if you never played one before, this is the best game to start with, as it's designed to be fun, even though you are bad at it.

Make sure your system could run it first, no point buying if you cant play.

This game also have probably the best game mode of all time, Payload, where it's so good to the point that EA sort of used their idea in Bad Company and Medal of Honor.

335 hours on this game, and counting, im still not bored yet.

No thanks. And not all hardcore gamers are like that.
