As anyone who actually looked at this blog every once in a while (which was probably no one, not even my mom), could tell, Schlesinator and I took a 'break.' Now that doesn't make much sense; we had just started. We can assure you, it was unplanned, but now we're back. Schlesinator got a sick-nasty new desktop and I got my laptop back from Dell after a two week hiatus - part of the reason behind our absence. Now, we plan on making this blog bigtime.
The two of us got serious today and sat down and skyped for a few hours and bounced ideas off each other. We now have lots of new content to add. But first, I want to introduce DrSpecific as a new contributor. He brings plenty of skill, knowledge, and humor to the blog. Back to the content. The following are ideas on types of posts we are gonna add.
Overpowered and Underpowered Heroes - We love S2, they've made a great adaptation of Dota and added plenty of their own flavor. Still, no matter how good S2 is, they can't always keep perfect balance. There will always be overpowered heroes we gripe about as HON players. Here they are profiled on a list that will be continuously updated.
On the flipside, some heroes just never seem to get picked. Some are because they are hard to play, such as Ophelia, but others just suck. Here those heroes are profiled. That list will also be continuously updated.
Throwbacks - This article by Schlesinator is an example of a throwback. He talks about Engineer's glory days back in beta. At that time, Engineer was ridiculously overpowered. Any articles where we wistfully reminiscence about the past will fall in this category. Hopefully, this section will bring back memories for veterans or provide context and history for new players.
Videos - Above, I mention Schlesinator's sick new desktop. It also came pre-loaded with some sick video editing software. We now have a youtube channel. It's going to have plenty of sweet videos. In fact, as I write this, he's working on editing a Devourer video.
Top Plays - Similar to Honcast, we would love to have a weekly or bi-weekly top plays series if we get enough viewers to have audience input. When we get to that point, we will set up an inbox of some sort of submissions.
Pub Stomping - Trying not to sound too arrogant, Schlesinator, DrSpecific and I are pretty good HON players. I took a long break, but I'm getting back into the game. The other two guys are still dang good. We're able to Pub Stomp for fun and we will provide you videos. Comments are welcome to give us ideas.
Guides - Everyone loves them. No promises though. We'll see.
More - We won't be limited to this content. Stuff like interviews with top players are a dream that someday might be realized. Again, ideas are welcome!
So that's what's going on with Level 5 Codex. Hope to see y'all around!
