HoN~

HoN or Heroes of Newerth is an action real-time strategy video game developed by S2 Games and the game was heavily inspired by the Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne custom map Defense of the Ancients (DotA).

In 2010, HoN was introduced to the world and after playing it, I found that HoN is almost the same as DotA. But, HoN gameplay is a little bit faster, more new heroes and the best reason to play HoN is because of its high quality graphic as compare to DotA.

There are lots of new features introduced in HoN that you can't find in DotA. The additions that differentiate HoN from DotA are features independent from game play; such as tracking of individual statistics, in-game voice communication, GUI-streamlined hero selection, game reconnection, match making, player banlists, penalties for leaving and chat features.

Besides that, HoN also has a feature called "The Announcer" which is an alternate announcer to the normal announcer in the game. There are few types of announcer available and the one that I like the most is the "British Gentleman Announcer Voice". Click here! For example;

"Gentleman...The KING!"

"Know your place, peasant!"

"For Queen and Country!"

The announcer is also a good practice for my British accent as well. Lol!


For those who played HoN, kindly add me as your buddy in game name "ilvA"! 

Deadwood! My favorite hero!

See you guys in game!

Why can't we walk straight?

Don't you think it is such a good thought to be ponder about?

Don't you want to know more?

Spend some time by watching the video below and continue reading this post after that. Perhaps, you will get a valuable knowledge that you have never had a chance to know before!

Until now, there are still experiments going on to find the answer of why human can't walk straight when there is no visible guidance such as sun, moon, star, mountain and etc. 

We think that we are going in a straight direction. However, it was a false information interpreted in our brain who have make us to turn and walking in circles instead. Without any guidance we might go astray. This is what life means!

For muslims, this thought has got something to do with their religion indirectly. Why am I saying such a statement?

This is because, the 'visible guidance' in the video can be interpreted as the Quran! Why? We, muslims were taught to learn and refer to Quran when we encounter difficulty in our daily life. Everything is there in the Quran. Past, present and the coming future! But a lot of people nowadays are like the people in the video. The guidance is there but we choose to be blindfolded!

Moreover, the 'fog' obscures the guidance from the people! In the real life, the fog can come in all sorts of forms such as wealth, status, excessive entertainment and etc. Sometimes they are so close to us that we don't even realize it is concealing the guidance. Beware!

Like Allah said in the Quran;

اهْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ

Guide us to the Straight Way

Verse 6 | (1:6), Al-Fatihah

ذَلِكَ الْكِتَابُ لَا رَيْبَ فِيهِ هُدًى لِلْمُتَّقِينَ

This is the Book (the Quran), whereof there is no doubt, a guidance to those who are Al-Muttaqûn [the pious and righteous persons who fear Allah much (abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds which He has forbidden) and love Allah much (perform all kinds of good deeds which He has ordained).

Verse 2 | (2:2), Al-Baqarah

Based on the verses, we first asked Allah for guidance and He mentioned in the following surah that he has sent the guidance, which is Quran. It is the nature of human to have a guidance as to strive in this world and most importantly in the hereafter.
