How To Spam Invites In Garena

// April 21st, 2010 // No Comments » // Computer, Games, Tips

If you happen to use Garena often to play online games with your friends, chances are by now, you know how irritating the 255 room limit is and you long for the day Garena increases the room limit.

Sure, if you’re feeling generous, you can click on the “Buy Gold Member” button to purchase a gold membership (about 4 USD for 1 month) that rewards you the privileges to enter full overpopulated rooms, gold plated alias, double EXP, etc… Well, I’m not here to advertise that plan so if you’re really interested in that price plan, then don’t bother to look any further.

So, you’ve decided not to spend money on Garena huh? But you’re pulling your hair out when you and your friends try to enter popular rooms, especially the Ladder rooms. Spamming your way is one way to enter but that takes time for you and your friends to enter. So even when you managed to squeeze into the room, yoour poor friends are still trying to enter the rooms. Some of them might give up and go do something else. And you’re tired of right clicking on their names and then inviting them again and again.

That’s okay because I’ll teach you a way for you and your friends to enter full rooms. This trick involves at least 2 people and here’s how it can be done:

1. One of you have to enter a full room first. So you got to do this the tedious way. Spamming your way in.

2. For the first person who manages to enter. Look over to your Contacts List, double click on your buddy who hasn’t entered the room to bring up the chat window. Wtf? Yeah be patience, you’ll know why.

3. With the chat window open, close the main window of Garena. You MUST do this in order for the trick to work.

4. Now with only the chat window open. Click on the “Invite to Game” button.

5. A dialogue box will appear telling you that you have invited your friend. Hit Enter on your keyboard and click on the “Invite to Game” button again.

6. Rinse and repeat. Isn’t this so much easier than the right clicking on their protraits and then inviting technique? And now all your friend has to do is the keep his cursor at the same position and click accept.

Spread it around. Cheers

The Razer Naga

// March 19th, 2010 // No Comments » // Computer, Games, Reviews, Videos

Over at the last I.T. show, I managed to loot myself a Razer Naga Mouse.

Looks gorgeous doesn’t it? Here’s a little info about the mouse:

The Razer Naga is supposed to be the next level in gaming mice aim at MMO players, more specifically people who play World or Warcraft . It is then no wonder that the mouse will be designed to give MMO gamers a competitive edge. The biggest feature of this mouse? You guessed it. It is the whopping dozen of buttons on the left-hand side of the mouse.

Features of the mouse:

5600dpi Razor Precision 3.5G Laser Sensor

1000Hz Ultrapolling™ / 1ms response time

200 inches per second max tracking speed

Zero-acoustic Ultraslick™ Teflon feet

17 MMO-optimized buttons (including 12 button thumb grid)

Optional MMO-specific software AddOns

Unlimited character profiles with AddOns

Approximate size:  116L x 69W x 41.6H (in mm)

The damage: 159 SG Dollars.

Good news for my fellow Mac users, there is no need to settle for a third party driver anymore because the Razer Naga works with both Windows (tested on Windows Vista) and Mac OS X (tested on Leopard). This is in compliance with the pledge Razer made to support the Mac gamers.

Anyway here’s my thoughts on Razer Naga after using it for about a week. While there is no doubt that the dozen of buttons at the side are an amazaing asset to possess, you’ll really have to get dedicate yourself enough time to the mouse before you can fully exploit the mouse’s main gimmick. Right now, I find myself only using 6 buttons out of the 12 (Buttons 1, 2, 4, 5, 7 & 8). Well maybe that’s because the game, DotA, that I bought this mouse for does not require that many buttons. But still, I find that the 4th row of buttons a little tedious to reach. It is still reachable but your thumb movements will not be as smooth as compared to the first three buttons.

Razer Copperhead and Razer Naga

Also, maybe I was too used to my previous mouse, Razer Copperhead, Razer Naga feels a little small in my hand. Not that it’s too big of an issue because its shape allows my right hand to rest on it comfortably. Other than that, this is a great mouse and was my dream mouse when I was still indulging in the World of Warcraft. Even though I no longer play the World of Warcraft, here is a video that demonstrates how the mouse can be effectively used in other games like DotA. Observe how fast the items were used. Such feat can never be possible without the Razer Naga!

Conclusion: So is it really worth to change your current mouse for this sexy Razer Naga? Well, if you’re a MMO player, then go all out for it. I used to play a level 80 Blood Elf Rogue and PvP was my forte. When I was using the Razer Copperhead, I binded Sprint and Vanish to the side buttons. These are my so-called panic skills and I have always wanted to bind more panic skills to the mouse but I was limited with the amount of side buttons Razer Copperhead have. With Razer Naga, I could freely bind more skills like Blind, Arcane Torrent, and Evasion to side buttons and do without the awkward modifer keys like Ctrl+Shift+1 (That’s just dumb).

But my word of advice is that, you’ll really have to spend time getting used to the mouse before you can fully utilize all the side buttons. Razer Naga is undeniably a great mouse in its own right, but how it serves you is totally dependent on your willingness to learn how to effectively use it.

The Ironwood Spammers

// September 30th, 2009 // 1 Comment » // Games, Videos

If you happen to be an avid DotA player, you’ll probably realize that the most frustating element of the game does not actually lie with the game itself but rather the people who play the game. Defense of the Ancients, like its name suggests, has a very simple yet indulging concept – Pick a team of 5 from a pool of heroes and face off against the other team while trying to defend and conquer the other base. Yet in such a simple game, it can be ruined by the players who play the game. Leavers, feeders, afkers, laggers, noobs, so to speak. I call these people spoilers.

Today, I will introduce a new form of spoiler – Spammers, or more specifically the Ironwood Spammers.

In my entire 4 years of DotA experience, I have never seen such a shameful and selfish act. Spamming Ironwood Branches to point of extreme lag, rendering the game unplayable for players without a decent computer. So then why did the abusers even do that? Shrugs, you tell me about it.

Laters.
