New Horizons

Hey guys, today I have both good news and bad news for you. Ok well the good news might just mainly be good news for me, but that's not the point. See, the thing is, I've become a freelancer with GameZone.com, which means I'll be paid to put out one video a week for them about LoL, so you'll be seeing stuff similar to what I've been putting up on YouTube already. So I suppose the good news for you guys is that you can count on at least one video a week from me, minimum. However, the bad news is that I'm only going to be able to put up new videos on YouTube if I get the time to make more than one video per week, so my YouTube channel might end up collecting a little more dust than it currently has been.

Anyway, I know I promised you guys a Beginner's Skills series, and although my three-part guide concept has been scrapped due to my recent employment by GameZone, I have decided to continue to put out Beginner's Skills guides, just not in a three-part format, and on GameZone instead of YouTube. So without further ado, I present to you the first episode in our Beginner's Skills Guide series - Zoning!

Valoran Video Contest Part Two Part Two!

Yes, you heard me right - I did say it twice. It's because I'm being funny. Yes, funny. I do that sometimes. Just nod your head and laugh. Yeah that's right. Well done. See, technically this video contest is the "Valoran Video Contest Part Two", and this is part two of my posting about it, so that means I get to repeat myself. Pretty awesome, right? Yeah, I thought it was witty. Ok, you don't, well fine. Just pretend like it never happened.

Anyway, here is my second submission for the Valoran Video Contest - this time about Minions and Monsters. It's pretty cool, so check it out. The winners are supposed to be announced on December 20, so stay tuned to see if these videos cut the mustard or not! Embedded/linked below.

P.S. How does someone cut mustard anyway?

Valoran Video Contest

Well guys, it's that time of year again. What? No, not Christmas you silly monkey! The Valoran Video Contest! Excuse me? You've never heard of the Valoran Video Contest! This is preposterous! What kind of summoner are you? Ok ok well I suppose it is only the second time it's actually been held, so I'll cut you some slack this time. Next time I might just cut you. Just jokes, just jokes!

Anyway, information about the Valoran Video Contest can be found here, and my submission to the contest can be found below. So go ahead, check it out, and let me know what you think!

How NOT to play

Hey everyone, new video just out! Paaaaartay! This one is called "How NOT to play". What, you guessed that already? Well you sneaky little bugger... Fine, you win this time.

Anyway, this video is because of all the bad teams I've been having to play on recently in solo queue 5v5. Now, in my team's defense, three of us went on to play another game together after this (after culling the two worst players on our team, heheheh) and we actually rolled some face. It was plenty of fun. So Guzzo4 and Jforgenjorgen and Valkaiser - if you're reading this, don't take it personally, I'm not just slamming you guys. We did well in the game after this one, but in this game we had some unfortunate moments. We lacked coordination and CCs and whatnot which ended up hurting us.

So this video is going to show you some of our worst moments for your morbid fascination, and I'm going to explain to you how to avoid making the same mistakes. I play Shen and my teammates are Vladimir, Corki, Mordekaiser, and Soraka. The enemy team had Ashe, Shen, Vladimir, Katarina, and Taric. Katarina was played by my man Ninjablast, who seriously wrecked face with her.

Ok, enough blabbing, now on with the video!

AP Nunu Guide

Hey guys, we have a series on playing AP Nunu up and running now! Excitement abounds!

This is a three part series, with the first part focusing on the more boring stuff (skills + items), and the second part revolves around gameplay footage; covering laning, ganking, and team fights. The third part is just a montage of highlights from a game of playing AP Nunu, with some pretty cool moments in it. Links to all three videos are below. After the break you`ll find all the additional info that didn`t make it into the guides: runes & masteries, summoner spells, & jungling. So click "Read More" and scroll down! You know you want to!

Introduction

Hey everyone, welcome to HDLoLcast on blogspot.com! Some of you may have heard of me through my YouTube channel at youtube.com/user/HDLoLcast, and some of you may have no idea what this place is about. Well here's the thing. HDLoLcast started as a channel on YouTube to bring to people 1080p HD videos relating to League of Legends. However, since I'm clearly multi-talented, I have started this blog in order to communicate with people through the wonders of text as well! Yaaaaaay! I can tell you're excited - that's what crickets chirping means, right?

Well anyway, here you will be able to find write-ups to accompany my videos, since although I can yabber for a good nine minutes straight without trouble, I still don't end up covering every aspect of things. So now to accompany my deluge of sound you can come here and smash up against a wall of text. Happy happy joy joy, right? Yeah I thought so.

So without further ado, welcome to HDLoLblog (see what I did there?), and don't forget to check out the introduction/beginner's guide video!
