3 Ways in Finding Time for Gaming

Oman is beginning to ignite the weather. It's sad for me because I couldn't wear my awesome jackets whenever I go out. It seems only yesterday that coldness wraps around our bodies but alas, its summer. And any season is always a good time to play! 

Unfortunately, I'd never played any console or PC game during the past month because of a lot of reasons. This lead me to even want to find time to play. So, here are some tips on how to find time for gaming.

1. Finish all your work.

    Accomplishing your job that needs to be done early will also give you more time to play. Focus on your task and prioritize the things that you have to complete before any gaming session. You wouldn't want to be interrupted whenever you're in the middle of the game don't you? That's why you need to wash the dishes, clean the room, finish your homework, your take you job and other responsibilities that are important. Remember, gaming is just there and won't run away from you.

2. 30 minute break

     Sometimes, when you are studying or you're already burnt out. It's best to stop, rest and maybe play a video game. I don't know about you, but this helps you to keep out of stress and continue later on on studying or working. I suggest only light gaming so you won't get addicted while playing. I know, its almost as if it contradicts the first advise but take note, its only around 15-10 minutes break to recuperate from your stressful activity. One game I would suggest for 10-15 minutes is Vain Glory. 

3. While they're asleep.

    What better way to play when there are no distractions. Yes, when all are asleep. Caution though, do not play any MOBA or any multiplayer games during this time. This games will definitely wake up your housemates or family due to your rage or lag that you'll encounter. Too much clicking and keyboard mashing will absolutely let your wife shut down your computer. What I would suggest is that you should play single player games or RPG which does not involve communicating and multiplayer.

Of course, even though you are a gamer you should know and give priority on which will be important. It's ok not to game in a day. Trust me. I know it's hard at first but be patient and practice discipline. Gaming gives you joy and entertainment but they don't pay you for it. Unless you are a popular streamer or an esports athlete. Playing casually is ok and in the long run, you'd be playing soon with your children and your could discipline them to on their gaming habits.

Huge GAMING EVENT in Muscat! 968Gamez Video Games and Arts Event

There are a lot of events happening here in Muscat, Oman right now. One of which is the Muscat Festival. This is celebrated every year around January to February. People who live in Oman for a long time don't actually bother to come and visit the event for some reason or they just don't see anything new. I for one is guilty of it. I haven't been to Muscat Fest this year and will close soon.

Anyway, this year, there is a new event that's happening on March and I am so hyped and excited about it! This event is for all gamers and artists out there. I am a gamer and an artist so it pretty much tells me straight on that this is for me. 

968GameZ is hosting a VIDEO GAME AND ARTS EVENT on MARCH 8-10 2018 at the Opera Galleria in Muscat. I liked the idea that there are a lot of gamers and artists out there and showcase what they love. People like me have been waiting for an event like this where gamers and artists gather, socialize and watch gaming tournaments. I attended the IGN convention last 2016 and I must say, they have a few activities during that time. But this event shows the organizers of IGN con how a  gaming convention should be. 968GameZ literally organized a tournament based on the games most people play here in Oman. From League of Legends to Overwatch, FIFA 18, Street Fighter V and many more. Almost all competitive eSports games will be showcased in the event.

I'm so glad I get to be there and attend this legendary event in Oman! Check out @968GameZ at Instagram for more information about their event. See you guys there!  

5 reasons why League of Legends is still the best MOBA for me

A lot of video games has been released and a lot of them are amazing. The graphics, the gameplay, the storyline and the experience are incredible. So much work has been put up to create a great game where people enjoy playing them. Whether it be on Windows, Mac, PS4, XBONE, or Nintendo, the companies deliver an incredible experience to the gamers.

But have you ever played at game that you never get tired of? Even you have these beautiful games in front of you, you still go back and play the game that you love. Yes, my friend, you are not alone. I still play League of Legends even though I've got a lot of new games. And here are my reasons why I bounce back to League of Legends.

1. Gameplay

     

      The gameplay of League of Legends is constantly changing and that's a good thing. This shows that they listen to the community and add a lot of new features that make the players more interested in playing the game.

     

      A lot of people who tried this game, especially from a DOTA 2 player's point of view will probably say that this game is trash. But I don't blame them. It's really difficult to adjust in a new game especially in MOBA and won't accept that this game is also great. The gameplay is totally different and I am really wondering why they compare LOL and DOTA 2 where in it's not comparable with each other. Each have a different gameplay experience. They say the graphics are BAD and looks like Cartoons but when you look at those who say these, the also love Mobile Legends which is, I should say, a copy of LOL, but on mobile.

     All in all, the gameplay requires skills and strategy with a lot of teamwork. This game is fun. Nuff said.

2. Longevity

    Nope! The game does not take long in a match. The game will finish around 20-45 minutes and this is what I love about it. I am a busy father and I almost have no time to play games in a day. But I could spare 30-40 minutes in playing League of Legends especially when my child is asleep. Unlike in DOTA 2, the game would last for around 1 hour or even more than an hour. And I don't want to waste precious time only to play for an hour for only one match. I mean if I'd play DOTA 2, I should be paid for it. 

3. System Requirements

   Most games today require a lot of power and graphics to fully have the best gameplay experience. but in League of Legends, they don't require much graphics and will still run great. Heck, I even play LOL sometimes in Mac OS and still runs perfectly(FPS drops sometimes though). You don't really need to spend a lot of cash in buying a gaming laptop or a Gaming Rig in playing LOL especially when you are on a budget.

4. Champions

    The champs and there kit are very creative and cool. It really makes the game enjoyable and interactive. They even look good. I mean the art style is amazing. You can't even see one champ that looks like a big ball of light. I mean who's gonna want to play a character which looks like a ball of light and can't even kick ass in-game? 

5. Free to play

    Yes it's free to play but if you want to buy the skins, you need to pay with real money. Most players don't understand why all the champs are not free? and need to buy it either though in game money or through real money. The reason is that players who dive in to the game and use advanced champions will be having a difficult time playing. Thus, making their experience in the game terrible and will lead to uninstallation of the game. So, LOL made the basic champs accessible and will help you improve your gameplay skills step by step making it more fun and accessible. As you progress in the game, you get rewarded. Either with in game currency to buy champs or free skins through loot boxes.

There are a lot of possibilities and this game and I guarantee you'll make new friends. The community is not that toxic compared to DOTA 2, in my experience,that is. So, why am I still writing this blog? I'm supposed to play now XD

See you at the Rift noobs!
