Oh wow that is a nice little holiday.

How goes yourself?

If you don't know the mechanics of DotA, then you don't know how to play Warcraft 3. Warcraft 3 has included manual with the game and has one in-game. The rest of the stuff in dota, spells, lake runes and items, are each described in their tool-tips.

Hush kitty, those are lyrics.
I'll have to call Seely here to teach you a lesson again soon.

naah, i gave up on training him... he's too... stuborn?

Well, I'd say I've earned it by doing 1 hour longer days than I should.
Time to enjoy the fruits of my labor! :3

It's not problematic for Mojang at all. His game has sold incredibly well.

25,018,760 registered users, of which 5,367,921 (21.46%) have bought the game.
In the last 24 hours, 62,449 people registered, and 8,321 people bought the game.

The fact that some people are not intelligent enough or are too lazy to type minecraft crafting into google and click the first link that pops up has not affected sales in any measurable way. To claim otherwise would require proof. Minecraft was also technically a beta until recently, and anyone who would purchase it should already know that the game has no point at all other than to build stuff. I don't feel anything for people who are too lazy to do even the slightest amount of research before spending their money on something.

and they added enough help with the achievements with stuff like "use four wooden planks to make a crafting bench" or "use sticks and cobblestone to make a pickaxe" that a bit of experimentation in a 3x3 grid should be enough on the basic recipes.

only stuff like cake, pistons, enchanting tables, and brewing are particularly tough to figure out.

Good, just dreading the fact I have a dentist appointment today.

I hope your next 4 days are easy, and then the following 10 are filled with joyous fun stuff.

You're getting it wrong again.

Not all the intricacies of DotA is necessarily explained in the manual and to the ease of the player. Invoker comes to mind. (I'm not sure if the game tells you to -invokelist when you pick him)

It would have sold even better. Especially at start up.

It doesn't matter whether someone is lazy or not. It is something that a game designer is obligated to include in their game. Fact is, there are a ton of people out there who didn't want to give the game a try because it lacked information in the game.

Citation needed. Until providing a source this is just an unfounded opinion.

How would these people who didn't buy the game because of a lack of information in the game know about the lack of information in the first place unless they bought the game? You've presented a paradox, unless these people actually researched the game to find out about the lack of information, in which case they surely would have stumbled upon the information which they felt was missing, thus removing their reason for not buying the game.

Well one issue with minecraft is without prior knowledge or guides. How would you know what is possible to make. How would you know flint steel existed in game, sheers, etc. These are useful in the 'actual' game play and aren't an aesthetic thing. A lot of stuff in minecraft aren't explained, and unless you data mined it out, you wouldn't even know how to do. Especially nether portals.

Exam week, I'm just hoping Friday will go well.
We'll see about the holiday though. Thinking if I'd try and make some actual progress on my fanfic and hopefully to get to play some games and have fun with friends. ^^

It tells you to invokelist when you pick invoker. There's also the huge map mechanics guide on the site you download dota from.

or you could enable hints for your hero during the game
