Lots of stuff to update.
No I haven't been lazy, only very motivated to do nothing.
DOTA 2, been playing it for a while, only to find out I need a new gaming laptop, or vacuum this one. It'll shut down automatically when overheated, I guess it's caused by overheating.
I have two favourites that I use frequently, Phantom Lancer and Death Prophet, then I can occasionally use Blood Seeker or Lich.
When I feel like messing around with my opponents I use Phantom Lancer, since he makes copies of himself at a good rate. Death Prophet is a good Carry and can take a lot of damage so I can work as a damage sponge, and come out on top.
Also downloaded the Dawnguard DLC for Skyrim, but as I haven't even completed the main quest, I figured I'd complete that first. However I then decided to take on the DLC after completing the Thieves Guild quest line. So I completed the Thieves guild, got all the perks for the Werewolf (achievement), took a while. Then I went ahead and started the Dawnguard questline, only to have the box freeze on me while training the Blood Lord things, I must say that they don't look awesome at all. Werewolves take home that prize any time.
Also played Halo: Reach a lot lately. At first I borrowed Anniversary CE to Tonsku, a friend, then found a used copy of Reach, that he bought, furthermore we got another guy from our job to buy Reach and got him started on it. Then my gf also played a little, and Cal as well. We've been doing well.
I need to play more Reach to train my aiming, it could be better.
Looking forward to Halo 4.

After several attempts I've finally gotten it right, Minecraft that is. I now have a "proper" house on the small island in the world with "Naqser" as a seed, with light so no monsters spawn, then I have a veery big room, or area that I've mined and filled with dirt that has grown grass as well, in an attempt to get passive mobs to spawn. No success yet though, slimes spawn a lot so there's a good thing with it.
Waiting for the xbox 360 version as well, hope friends can join your single player world when they want to, and so on.
Then I've played some Reach with my nephew and my girlfriend. My girlfriend got a couple of achievements, we helped her, and my nephew got the infect three people in one round achievement as well, I still want that one.
OOhh, I downloaded and tested Rock of Ages, a fun game with a lot of Monty Python in it, and then I mean A LOT, the cut-scene animations that is, and the sounds.

Harder than hard
I went through the internet hunting for interesting seeds and found one that spawned you on a single island with two trees and two zombie spawners. I played for a while and died from a skeleton.
So I punched in my gamertag: Naqser, and I started on an island with one tree, no spawners though, but a huge freefall hole. Nice. Then I died again...
Also played Reach Multiplayer. I got to play Infection on an anniversary map, but didn't spawn as a zombie once and one player had found a "nice" hiding spot behind a teleporter, so whenever we zombies tried to hit him we went through the teleporter.
Oh yes, there's Tetris Battle on Facebook that I've also been playing, mainly against my girlfriend. There's 6 player and 2 players, at first we played 6 player Battles but moved to 2 player so we only were against each other. I kind of won, well I did win.

Back and forth
During the weekend I enjoyed a little Diablo 2, got to Nightmare difficulty. It's getting interesting again when I've gotten to level 40, and going up.
Also played some Battlefield 3, must say that when half the team is sniping it's a little difficult to attack. Especially when the Object is indoors. What has gotten annoying is when people started using UAVs to, or whatever they're called, to "splatter" the opponents. It's hard to defend when you've got three of those flying barrels trying their hardest to see if what's harder, your body or the concrete.

Old and still going
A friend of mine installed and started playing Diablo 2, and I followed.
The long awaited Diablo 3 is in it's beta stage, yet. Was supposed to be released a while ago but was put off for a while.
It's hard to start again because I've played the first part so many times, and the first levels are kind of boring, because I've had them so many times.
It gets interesting at level 18, although I don't particulary like the theme of the town, sand sand sand. Third town is the best, rainforest.
I chose the Necromancer class because I like summoning things that do whatever they do best, and I stay behind and curse whatever my summons are beting up. Then of course I also like cursing my enemies.
Equipment wise I decided to use items with better enchantments such as "find more gold" or "chance to find magic item" instead of going on armor. I don't get hit that much anyway since I have other things that get hit.
Also found a game called "Castle Story", it's not released yet, not even in a beta. Looks really nice though, build you own caste, command troops, mine, kind of like an RTS (Real Time Strategy) game of Minecraft.
Four more achievements in Halo: Reach. Then I can work on the Halo: CEA achievements.

Reach 'n Settlers
I downloaded The Settlers HD for my phone a couple of months ago, and after having won one match of Monopoly, also downloaded, I turned my attention to The Settlers, a "cute" RTS with a very complicated resource system, the most interesting part of the game.
To build buildings you need wood and stone, easy. To make tools so that you can harvest wood and stone you need iron. To get iron you need a smelter, iron ore and coal. Then a toolsmith to make the tools, or weaponsmith if you're going for weapons. To mine for iron, coal and gold, and the occasional sulfuer and stone, the miners need food in form of bread, meat and fish. So you need to make a grain farm to get wheat, a mill to make flour, a waterworker to get water and a bakery to make the bread. Then a hunter for meat, oooor, a grain farm for what, a water worker to get water, an animal farm to raise animals and a butcher to get meat. Fish is easy, you only need a fisheman.
It's a very complicated economy system, but it's fun. Then you need territory, you can't just build anywhere. So to get territory you need either a tower with atleast one soldier in it or pioneers that slooooowly expand your territory.
I've also played a little on the computer, but the AI is kind of stupid and won't advance any further after their initial attack, which is kind of boooorrriiingg.
Reach? Had a couple of veeerryy laggy games, to the point where I was in the black screen longer than the actual game, and at one point it even restarted the game. Also ran into a group of glitchers. Invasion Slayer on Powerhouse, now, the game was even, we had the lead, then them, and we again. Then at some point when they had the lead they disappeared, in under the map with the help of a glitch in the buddy spawn system. Why bother? I don't see a point in it. You're not going to improve your skills. Why? If you're worse than your opponents then you won't get a chance to win from the start. If you're better than your opponents then there's no reason to go hide in the first place, because you're going to win. It's only a big waste of time for both parties. If it's even, then how are you going to improve? The only thing that may have lead to the lead would be luck.
In this particular match, it became worse as well, as one of them proceeded to kill us through the floor, sure we went there to throw nades and stuff but they had the lead and all of them were under the floor so there was nothing we could do.
Abusing glitches is a bannable offence, the banhammer won't take kindly to it.

Back in business
The funny thing about being away for a longer time is going back, and notice that you still got it, in multiplayer.
Started out with Battlefield 3, because the new maps were out. Haven't played them as much though, I'm still getting through the original ones.
On later days I've developed a liking to the tanks. I can use them efficiently enough to actually be useful with them. On Operation Firestorm I got roughly 5000 points while only using tanks, and I died once, we won. I've destroyed a helicopter, sniped snipers and engineers, ambushed and destroyed many enemy tanks. All in a few says work.
Then I've played some Halo, still going after the six missing achievements. It's difficult when the maps never appear in the voting screen. Hope I get them soon, or I'm going to need some help.

Shout
I've come to the point in Skyrim where I just loot gold, no items. Well, not always gold either. I'm collecting shouts though. My nephew pointed out that you can ask at High Hrotgat.. or however it's spelled. They'll tell you, or, one of them will tell you where the shouts are, then it's just to take a stroll through a dungeon or the likes and get it. I've found that the later of them also have a quest at the entrance, which needs doing.
I'm also hunting dragon priest masks, I got 4 out of 8, not that I think I'll get anything worthwhile from them anyhow.

Hardcore, not till I hit bedrock
The Minecraft fire has been relit on my laptop, not because I'm in a creative mode, but because I'm looking for a challenge, and Minecraft has both.
I tried Hardcore mode this time around and found it all the more better than the regular one. You die and your world gets deleted. It also sets the difficulty to hard, and it can't be changed, so no sneaky sneaky way out there.
It really is hard the first nights, getting a shelter, and food, you need food now to survive. Yes it's realistic and stuff. At first I thought I'd try to find a village to hide in during the night. I even found a seed (on the internet) which spawns you in a house. I tried it, but it didn't feel right. Why am I trying out the hardcore mode if I'm going to chicken out on the first night in a spawned house? Either I find a village, or I build a house, and the latter it was. With some time consuming waiting of course. Wouldn't dear gather resources during the night.
Now I do have my house finished and I'm trying to dig my way down, this time around I'm using ladders instead of stairs. The work do take a lot of time though since I managed to place my house right on top of a multi level cave, with numerous mobs in it.
Then I have to remember that my guy has a stomach now, that needs feeding. So I have to gather mushrooms and meat as well. It is challenging. Next project is either to make a biiig room down below, or make Snow Golems, or a castle, the castle first, then the snow golems. Or maybe find a monster spawner... Soo much to doo.
