[Norroar]

@Nigma -

I just watched your ear-bleeding guide (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49Ju6gF11YM), and I really dislike the usage of such music in the guides. You need to come up with a more neutral and calm song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UiTfYzgAgp4)!

Just my input. Great video nonetheless.

[oww]

Looking forward to more of these

That guide is incredibly old and I have been using Locust Toybox for some time now.

[Strider]

Looks pretty cool.

[Ekamo]

Nigma, you are a genious. ****, I laughed hard at that sock in the item video. I am seriously saying I rofled.

[_dazE]

Cool! Omw! :D

EDIT:
Just finished watching the video!

One Word: HOT FEMALE VOICE FOR THE WIN!!!
Seriously, Ms.Pudding<3<3<3

[Anchovies]

Great stuff and good to see S2 putting some focus onto the new players coming into the community.

[ShammySham]

Love the guide!

[Vinthian]

Want more guides by Mrs Pudding please.

I know she keeps Nome locked up in a cage somewhere but she can skip feeding him a meal to teach me how to own! :D

[NrFive]

Very good video guide on pre-laning. Hoping more will come :)

Keep up the good work!

[YaDryBug]

Bin the content, fix some bugs.

[Variance]

gr8 loved it

[RUSty_]

great guide actually. Good work s2

[GucciGod]

bubbles in the hoody is ****ing lol

[man_guy]

Aside from the odd camera angles, this was a reasonably good guide.

[Succumb]

Hurddurr Nigma sux omfgomfogmfg!!!11 He sux his guides are so bad like omfgomfogm!!!1

Keep video and text the same, replace his voice.

Ohlolol great guide guys ;D;D;D superb job! Omfg female voice lolol got such a tent right now. It's liek.. a female talking to me about something I enjoy!!1 a game rofl great guide, so talented so smart so great guide ;D;D

Give me a break. Nigma, could you upload a version of the guides with your own voice over to the HoNLeague channel? Even though the first episode didn't tell me that much I didn't know I'd still like to check others without being infused with more rage than HoN itself will ever give me over virgins with massive tents commenting and drooling over a female voice.

At first I figured the community would expierence the blatant foolery of just replacing the voice as a slap to the face but it seems the masses enjoy it.

There is nothing wrong if we prefer female. You on the other hand...

Nigma made the video, nigma wrote the text. Why not just let him do the whole vid and get all the credit?

There's nothing wrong with Nigma's voice, sure there's a slight accent but anyone should be perfectly able to understand him. Changing the voice over only because it's a female voice seems sad. Then again, most online knights suddenly become such sweet understanding social people once there's a hint of females in their online community that it might stop HoN from being the worst community.

And you're right. Just because 80% of the online male gamers make complete fools out of themselves when females might be around means I dislike females. It's not the females, it's the target audience that goes wild for it, it's just sad really.
Well it can be the females in the whole "mount me for a mount" happening but that isn't the case with this vid.

[Dabesmayne]

I have to agree with everything succumb said.

[flibble]

Awesome video :D

[Hsssh]

Nigma made the video, nigma wrote the text. Why not just let him do the whole vid and get all the credit?I don`t know who writes lines for heroes in HoN but lets assume it`s Maliken. So by your logic, if he wrote those lines why can`t he voice all the heroes in game to get all the credit? Or just let the screanwriter of the movie to portray all characters, he wrote them and created scenes after all.


There's nothing wrong with Nigma's voice, sure there's a slight accent but anyone should be perfectly able to understand him.So you agree that Nigma`s voice would be slightly worse for this video?


Then again, most online knights suddenly become such sweet understanding social people once there's a hint of females in their online community that it might stop HoN from being the worst community.I saw plenty "fapfapfap" comments, nothing changes, it`s not like she`s first female we have ever heard or saw. Some of us like to act like that just because. Of course there are some cell dwelers who really start acting like knights but i don`t think that there are that many of them here.

[BrutalOne]

Cool story bro, how about fixing crashes now? Who gives a f**k about newsletter when people cant play game without crashing 2 times in same game?

I`m sure that same peolple work on newsletter and bug fixing. Think before posting.

I dont see progress in bux fixing, but I do see new hero every 2 weeks.
Can U do the math by yourself or should I tell you what they do?

I believe latest patch had some performance fixes.

Penguins are black and white, old TV shows are black and white. Therefore penguins are old TV shows. Stop trolling and start reasoning properly.

No, it would not be worse at all, not for me. Perhaps the presence of a female will certainly make the quality skyrocket and that's exactly the sad and degrading part about it.

Then again, I'm propably one of the few guys who feels like he's treated like a dickthinker (and can expierence it as an insult) when any show/game pushes massive ammount of "hot babes" and tits in your face for no reason but to get guys thinking with their dicks, drooling like a bunch of brainless turd****s.

[Hsssh]

I`m not trolling. Maliken doesn`t voice heroes in game because he believes that others would do better job at voicing. Pudding probably voiced that video because whoever is responsible believed that she would do better job than Nigma.


No, it would not be worse at all, not for me.

I`m sorry, i assumed from your post that Nighma has one flaw- accent.

Paranoid much? Are you as well angry that Lulu posted this news? Probably she didn`t do anything for that newsletter, how dares that woman to take any credit!

:scou:

I'm a little confused here. I wrote my own script, you know. :(

[Pylons]

whos ms pudding!

her voice is fapworthy.

whos ms pudding!

That's sick man, why the **** you would fap to a voice?
Internet scares me. :magm:

[Nigma]

To clarify guys, both me, Pudding, and our good old friend JohnnyUtah worked and will probably continue to work together on all scripts for guides.

This lets us combine our knowledge and filter out information that is either wrong or just not really needed.

It kind of works like this: We all work together to draft a script containing all the information we want to cover. Pudding then actually writes the final version as she is the voice actress and obviously whoever is going to be doing the voices benefits from writing their own script with their own mannerisms.

It's a team effort, and Pudding contributed just as much as me :P

PS: I have an accent? :(

Please post a picture of you 3 to prove you are indeed a team.

Actually, just post a picture of Pudding:)

Well fair enough if you all put in equal ammounts of effort I guess. Some posts hinted that you were the only pretty much fully responsible for the vids, and I wouldn't be surprised if you did the whole thing considering the other vids you made.

It's not paranoia and not womanhating, it's more the annoyance that it sways such a large group of people by so much just because a woman is involved. Ofcourse I don't know the true reason if her being involved, the majority of the comments won't change because of it though.

p.s. Like I said, barely noticable. I had "flawless accent" down first I'm sure people would figure my point would be 100% moot because no accent is flawless.

[BrutalOne]

I believe latest patch had some performance fixes.

If so, I didnt notice. I crashed 5 times in 1 game last night. 5 times! Never happened before, so for me, new patch brought only pain..

[Ol`Yojimbo]

Great initiative.

[JN`wu]

nice to have this, but I hope it will contain some more interessting information next time!

[Euphoria]

More importantly, and not addressed at all in this, is the covering of ward spots for both spotting early counter ward positions as well as keeping the enemy pushed off your pull spawn until the 30 second mark at least so you can get 1 early pull out and use it to control the wave early on.

Furthermore, another point not addressed is the roamer in his/her use in pressuring the mid lane should a rune get grabbed. A magmus or andromeda is often incredibly good for circling around and FBing delayed a bit after a wave or so.

Although some of those ganks were just silly, the concepts are right. Blacksmith went to the rune alone, almost guaranteeing his death. Plague rider at bottom, should not be walking the lane alone, firstly because he's a terrible solo bottom, but not just that, if he does have a lanemate, his lanemate is not doing their job at all.

[Hsssh]

Plague rider at bottom, should not be walking the lane alone, firstly because he's a terrible solo bottom, but not just that, if he does have a lanemate, his lanemate is not doing their job at all.

I believe tsm just did that, sent PR him solo against tri-lane bot. That might not be smart but it happens.

I think there should be another video about warding.

Video is about "pre-lanning". Roamer pressuring happens during lanning phase. Another video should cover this imo.

[Ardanis]

Ms Pudding... I love your voice. From now on for me - guids only with Ms Pudding!

Thanks for the input :) The next guide in that series should be on the laning phase and will cover that stuff as well.

[wiLson]

could we have something WEEKLY? papers and magazines are... can we get 4-5 news -hon official- WEEKLY?

[MarioMCP]

They hired that girl to speak just for her voice

http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u35/Mariomcp/sad_frog.jpg






Before her legions of fans cry, I am joking, it was a pretty good video. I hope she discusses about lane comps/team comps in one video, help people understand "YOU DON'T WANT TWO MELEE TOP AS LEGION, OR BOTTOM AS HELLBOURNE!"

[Skoogz]

First post :)

[ThomasDo]

i like turtles. end of story.

[Rocksteady]

Boring and uninformative. You would think starting with the picking phase (being one of the most important parts of the entire game) would make more sense. Showing level 1 ganks with swiftblade and glacius against bad magmus players isnt really teaching anyone anything.

[Numbrain]

Thats nice, now can we have a savage 2 newsletter. I know how it would start, "Sorry for abandoning this game and promising updates we never planned to deliver."

Although i didn't buy HoN just to complain about that :P I bought it cos i was getting bored of sc2. How do you get the newsletter?(maybe the first post says ill check.)-oh i see now.

[SideburnZ`]

1st!
