Heroes of Newerth Open Beta About To Start 118

Posted by Soulskill on Wednesday March 31, 2010 @03:30AM from the getting-closer dept.

You may recall last summer when we discussed Heroes of Newerth, a title from S2 Games that's based on the popular Defense of the Ancients mod from Warcraft III. We passed out some closed beta keys, and there seemed to be a ton of interest, in part due to the fact that they have a Linux client. Well, if any of you missed it or want to see how the game has progressed since then, now is your chance — the open beta begins tonight (March 31). There's a countdown on the sign-up page that shows when you can register.

Thanks to wireless window and door sensors and motion detectors, installing and maintaining one's own security system is becoming a do-it-yourself project, with kits available from companies like InGrid and LaserShield. Time to start cranking out some new iPhone and Android apps, kids?"

I definetly have to agree. I have had so many problems with steam that its not even funny anymore. I run a laptop and its a pain in the ass when i'm away from home or a wi-fi connection, and the HL2 Engine will crash my computer or steam will lock up and force me to reboot it, and when i get it back up, I cannot play any of my OFFLINE games because i havent connected to the Internet FIRST. WTH is the deal with that anyway. I understand the anti-piracy deal, but i paid for the offline game, and want it to work offline period. on the other hand for games such as EVE online which are just doing marketing and selling initial cd-keys, and then just booting the games EXE file seperately, thats great, it gets games like eve more spotlight attention and in the end, is good for the whole community, because it brings new players in. thats great, but if your going to work a program like this in, at least make sure the god damn thing works correctly.
