DotA...

DotA is a short form of Defence of the Ancient.

in this post, im sharing something about dota. used to be one of my favourite on9 game. now is history due to university life which is full of challenge, homework and problems everyday. basically was busy with homework, assignments and some work related to my parents business.
so, im juz sharing about my dota xperience and my fav hero.
well, i started dota at my lower form 6 and get hooked with it pretty badly. wasting my free time with it and as well my study time too... dam it! its already been 3 years i hooked with it. however it is fun due to the teamwork and personal strategy. it oso challenge our spiritual and mind power as we are playing the game... bad words, bad temper, frustration, discouragement, psychotic act and many other annoying manner all around the game, including in the game and around a dota player even when they are winning... when the team start losing, the player will blame each other, calling the others feeder even without realising he/she is a feeder too. feeder is a term which means the ratio of being killed by the opposing team are way higher compare to the kills. when are winning, it is weird thing tat the dota player are frustated too... they will always cal their team ks ks ks... which means kill steal. the player who get the last hit to the other hero will get the credit. no matter wat is the condition when the player able to kill the other hero but the teammate gets the credit, he or she will call the teamate a kser... wat the... when losing, call ppl feeder, when winning, cal ppl kser... wat a lame attitude from most of the dota players... there are no such thing as dota pro for me... even u win the national competition, ur chance of winning is still 50-50 when come to against some experience player (like me!). so instead i will ask, how long u've been playing dota instead of how pro are u? wat is ur level in garena? or did u win any big dota competition? so all the people around the world who considered themselves a big head to cal themselves a pro plz dun get so lan ci calling ppl noob! u are once a noob too and u are not tat gud oso!

Sentinel fav Heroes (from left to right and up to down)...
Naga Siren (slithice), Traxex (drow ranger), Purist Thunderwrath (omniknight), Huskar (sacred warrior), Lina Inverse (slayer) and Aiushtha (enchantress).

Naga Siren is the hero that i used for my first time and it is my most fav hero. Naga basic attribute is agility. blessed with high movemet speed, 320 basic, she enable to chase hero till they are dead... her 1st ability is mirror image, which will confuse the enemies by producing a multiple illusion of herself and enable to deals certain percentage of damage to the enemies... the second ability is ensare, which will net down an enemy causing it unable to move and this give the naga an advantage to hunt down a hero or flee away, stop its channeling spells when the net is casted upon the heroes and give the chance for allies as well as her illusion to surround it. her third skill is crictical strike, which certain percentage to deal 1.5 times the damage to enemies and the illusion have this ability too making the enemies to beg her stop hitting him/her... and her ultimate is song of siren which cause all enemies in nearby aoe (area of effect) to sleep making them unable to attack and gaining invulnerability. this ulti is usefull in giving the whole team of naga to flee away or gives a full advantage to destroy enemy's buildings or base and buying some times around especially waiting for spells to cooldown and teamates to come.

Scourge fav heroes (from left to right and up to down)...
Terrorblade (soul keeper), Nevermore (shadow fiend), Balanar (night stalker), Azgalor (pit lord), Krobelus (death prophet) and Demnok Lannik (warlock).

Krobelus is the hero i always used in the dota competition or clan war as a nuker, pusher and defender. a big role in most of the game... her basic attribute is intelligence. with her ranged attack, she is able to harrass any melee hero in the early game. her first ability is carrion swarm, which can instantly damage enemies in a cone causing them hard to deny creeps and lose some hp if get hit. her second skill is silence, which can cause all the enemies in an area unable to cast any spells making the player panic when comes to group war. her third skill is witchcraft, which reduce the cooldown of the carrion swarm and the silence, reduce the mana cost of carrion swarm and add ghosts to the exorcism, making this hero to cast spells more often and stronger nuker, pusher and hero killer. and her ultimate is exorcism, which summons a number of ghosts to attack the surrounding for a period of time and give a certain percentage of hp recovery to krobelus depending on the damage had been done by the ghosts when the ghosts return to her. this huge numbers of ghost deals a very huge total damage to every enemies nearby it making this hero easily to get a triple kills, destroy tower or base and a great hp recovery.

mechanical course...

sumthing tat is fun in mechy course...


well... juz sumthing to pass time telling story...

year 1 sem 1

amalan: we did 4 section... they are fitting, milling, welding and lathe.
for fitting, we nid to use the basic tools such as saw, chisel, drill, "metal pen", hammer n anvil to do the required shape and another shape from metal to fit into the 1st metal piece. dam tired... this required strength and i believe the girls will ask for guys help or play cheat... my product suck, barely fit into it and unable to fit in when i turn it another way round due to symetrical...
for milling, we nid to operate a milling machine... the 3 axes, x,y&z must be carefully operate due to the cutting tools moving at the same time with the time we control its movement... if not, the work piece will have a dent or some scratches on the surfaces... we are able to flattened the surfaces and make a round hole on it. the workpiece must be in a cubic or cuboid shape...
for welding, we nid to weld sumthing of coz... 2 metals separately which will end up sticking to each other... when u wear the mask, nothing u can c until the sparks is produced from the electrode rod. watever u do... do not let the electrode rod touch the metal piece or the "table". it can stick like a super glue on it... dam... i miss a class... sien... due to RnI fest...
for lathe, we nid to control the lathe machine... the rules are the same with the milling, 3 axes. the difference is we move the work piece instead of the cutting tools. and the work piece must be in cylinder shape... we nid to change the cutting tools a few time to produce different shape with different process (drill, groove and mill). the workpiece is rotating in fast speed all the way...

year 1 sem 2

amalan: we also did another 4 parts... this is more "fun"! we did pneumatics, electro-pneumatics, foundry and hydraulics...
for pneumatics, we r handling with d compressed air. we used it 2 make the mechanical part 2 do work. have u ever wonder when the bus door open, it will produce a weird gas released sound? we are "playing" with those things by using tube instead of wire to connect the components.
for electro-pneumatics, it is a combination of electrical and pneumatics circuit in order to produce some output... so basically we are handling the input (switch and logic gates) with the electrical circuit and all the output (piston, light and etc) with the pneumatic circuit.
for foundry, it is a concept of producing a product with molten aluminum (or other metal). we designed a desired shape by using a styrofoam. then we use a metal case and half filled it with silicon sand and compress it. put the work piece styrofoam on the sand and burry it. build a "bridge" by using styrofoam and place it from the work piece to the surface of the sand. bury the whole thing and make sure the sand were compressed too. we nid to carefully load the metal pail with the molten and wear a proper clothes and used a proper tools to carry the pail. then, pour the molten on the bridge till the molten overflow a little bit on the sand surface. wait 1 hour and slowly remove all the sands away. tadaa... here goes the product...
for hydraulics, we are handling with the liquids pressure and velocity. with this we are able to use the hyraulics power to make the machines to do work. however, when it reaches my group's turn, the machine happen to be broken down. so wat i learn is the theory and calculations. zzz...

year 2 sem 1

amalan: as usual 4 parts... this time is computerized machine thingy... CNC milling, CNC lathe, EDM wire cut and EDM die sinking.
for CNC milling, the machine is juz like the conventional milling machine but we operate it using a software in computer instead of manually. CNC stands for computer numerical control. using all the G and M codes can drive u crazy! juz use ur imaginary, common sense and basic maths skills to produce some shape or holes on the square shape work piece. this is the easiest...
for CNC lathe, the machine is also like the conventional lathe machine but more advance in the terms of its function and its limit to produce a more complicated shape or designed of a cylinder work piece. of coz, ur work on the computer program is more complicated too. the dimension of the project nid to calculate properly if there is any shape concerning with the radius. the hardest!
for EDM wire cut, we used a designing software such as autocad, solid work and etc etc to do the drawing of the product. EDM stands for electrical discharge machining. it used the wire made of copper to cut the workpiece. it is a slow process but very accurate. good for complex and small shape thing. juz enter the file from the design software into the machine, adjust the workpiece and juz hit the start button. everything will be done in the few hours. did the kingdom hearts for this. i designed it with my autocad skill... nice and it is a killable object due to sharp end.
for EDM die sinking, we used the electrode which made of copper to make a certain shape on the work piece. basically we nid to design the shapes on the electrode. juz like the way how u wana make a "mark" on ur house using the hot metal. then lock ur metal work piece on the magnet bench and fill everything up with kerosene. and do sum complex set up and then wait till it stop.
