Haiku for n00bular

n00bular rests now,
Great pwnage was real fun dude,
M-m-monster kill!
Ok, so I might have cheated on the last line. But still, it's good to see a show of self-discipline. I'm sure you'll find other activities to do, like search for girls for me.

His retirement from the game set me thinking. Why do we play Dota? It's a waste of time to bully noobs so real challenges are few and far in between every time we go on Bnet. But I think it's cos we share a sense of camaraderie when we play together. And it's a relatively easy game to get into AND it's free (so WoW goes out the window).

To me, it all boils down to having fun with your friends and that's about it. If you can derive pleasure from that, I think you can game till you die.
