LOL olarak bilinen ve hayatımıza kısa süre içinde giren bir oyun, online dünyayı kasıp kavuran oyunlar arasında yer alıyor. Knight ile başlayan online oyun macerasında, son birkaç yılda önemli pay elde eden LOL’un hakkında bilmeniz gereken bazı küçük detaylar var. Bu inceleme yazımızda; oyunun nasıl oynandığından ziyade; oyunun oyun olmasını sağlayan yanlarına değineceğim.

LOL yada League of Legends! Tekli kişilerden çok online çoklu kişilerle oynanan bu oyun, temelde Multiplayer Online Battle Arena(MOBA) oyunudur.

Oyun, 2009 yılında ilk kez tanıtımı yapıldığında çok fazla bir gücü olmamasına rağmen; 2015 yılına geldiğimizde günde 12 milyon aktif kullanıcı ile dünyadaki en çok oynanan oyunlar arasına girmiştir. Başlıca nedeni; insanları cezbedici faaliyetlere yönlendirmesidir.

Google’da en çok aranan oyunlar arasında yer almaktadır. Her gün binlerce yeni kişi bünyesine katılmakta ve lol kaydol, lol oyna gibi anahtar kelimelerle oyuna ulaşılmaktadır.

Dünyanın birçok ülkesinde oyun için ofisler açılmıştır. Oyunun yapımcıları ülkemize de Riot Games Türkiye ofisini açtıktan sonra, ülkemizde de ivme kazanmış ve en çok oynanan online oyunlar arasında yer etmiştir.

Bu aşamada oyunseverin artmasında, Türkçeleştirme çalışmalarının yer aldığını söyleyelim. İkinci olarak ülkemizde yapılan özel turnuvalar sayesinde, online oyunlar arasında farklı bir alandan atak yaparak; insanları cezbetti.

Bireysel mücadeleden çok, takım ruhu oluşturmayı ve bu şekilde yönetebilme becerinizi ölçerek sizi mutlu eden bir oyun. Oyunculara verilen belirli haritalarda 2,3,4 yada 5 kişilik gruplarla mücadele ediyorsunuz.

Oyun içinde 100’ün üzerinde karakter bulunuyor. Bu karakterler sayesinde kişilerin geliştirmek veya olmak istedikleri karakterlere bürünmesi kolaylaşıyor.

Oyunun bir başlangıç noktası mevcut ve adı Nexus. Ayrıca bitiş noktası da mevcut ve onun adı da Nexus. Oyundaki amaç; haritadan giderek düşmanınızın Nexus adı verilen kalesini yok etmek. Bir Nexus’dan diğer Nexus’a ulaşmak için haritada çeşitli yollar mevcut ve buralarda küçük canavarlar, askerler yada engeller yer alıyor.

Oyun, zevkinize göre seçim yapma şansını size veriyor. Düzenlediği maçlardan istediğiniz özellikte olana girebiliyor, ve bu maçlara girerken kendi şampiyon karakterinizi seçiyorsunuz. Bu sayede ilgili maçın özelliklerine uygun eşyaları alabileceğiniz bir karaktere ulaşabiliyorsunuz. Kısacası, güçten çok zeka ve düşünce oyunu olarak da biliniyor.

Oyunda herkesin bir görevi vardır. Başıboş olmak yerine, oyun içinde görev belirleme taktiği ile giden takımlar; daima başarıya ulaşmaktadır. Örneğin maçlara giren bir kişi; yukarı koridor, orta koridor, aşağı koridor yada ormancı gibi 4 farklı pozisyondan birine atanır ve ilgili pozisyondaki görevleri yapmakla yükümlüdür.

Oyunda karakterinizi güçlendirmek için savaşmanız ve eşya almanız gerekiyor ancak burada hızlıca güçlenmek için; haritadaki iki kötü canavarla savaşmanız yararınıza olacaktır. Ancak sakın yalnız gitmeyin, birlikten kuvvet doğduğunu unutmayın. EN büyük kazançlarınız; Ejderha ve Baron Nashor‘dan gelecektir.

Oyunun sınırı 30 level. Bu seviyeden sonra, gerçek kaliteli savaşçılar ile karşılaşıyorsunuz. Yani rakipleriniz artıyor, oyunun bağımlılığı yeniden başlıyor.

Kısaca LOL denildiğinde motive edici kavramlar şunlar oluyor:

Eğlenceli yapısı,

Bağımlılık edici yanı,

Free to Play olması,

Zorluk seviyesinin yüksek olması

Kişiliğinizi karaktere yansıtmanız,

Ve son olarak para kazanma şansınız olması.

My House Office: More Progress!

So this spring I pointed out some updates I was operating on in my property workplace. Properly, as always, things are slow going (as any person who has a life and a normal budget will almost certainly recognize, these overnight Tv makeovers take months in genuine life heheheh). But, I lately created some progress and I am pretty excited! A few of my plans changed a bit given that I last updated you.

Initially I was saving up to get a new desk and then I was going to move my old desk to the left wall and turn it into a console table. Properly, someplace along the way I decided what I genuinely wanted wasn’t a new desk but I wanted to take out the wall to wall carpeting and put in hardwoods to match the rest of my home. I loved the new striped rug from Lulu and Georgia, but I was in a position to move it to my loved ones area and it appears awesome there! The brown carpet had seen better days (i.e. 4 dogs in the past few years have added to the wear and tear). Hardwood is just so much cleaner than carpeting and it goes with every little thing!

Since my workplace is so tiny,  I decided to take the plunge and get the hardwoods and hold my desk as a desk. I could not be far more pleased with that selection. The hardwood transformed the area in every single way! I really like it.

I nevertheless haven’t repainted the area. My intention is to repaint it either the very same color or slightly deeper (the navy appears so good with the curtains and now with the lighter wood floors!), with a flat paint to lessen the textured walls which are not my favourite. Eggshell finish is wonderful in the rest of my home, but for some cause these walls have a heavier texture and I consider flat will be better in here.

I rearranged the area to have my desk on the left wall instead of in front of the window. I also moved a couple of pieces of furniture out (one particular went to our church and the other went upstairs to our Tv area) and I added a couple of new pieces that better serve my requirements. I’ll inform you far more about the secretary and hutch tomorrow!

To the left of that piece, I discovered two flat file drawer units from IKEA (Alex Drawers) that have been the best and inexpensive resolution to versatile workplace storage. I have some plans to customize them a small bit and of course I’ll show you what I have planned quickly.

Here is a pulled back view of the new arrangement. The Pottery Barn desk I’ve had given that my old home is now on the left wall. Even even though I genuinely enjoyed becoming in a position to appear out the window, I feel like this arrangement functions better for me. I feel a small much less on show to the neighborhood and I genuinely wanted to be in a position to use the wall space above my desk for an inspiration board. By removing the tall cabinet that was initially on this wall, I now have far more area for a light and bright inspiration board above the desk (which I don’t have but.)

The small Target bench by the window floats around the area for further seating or when I want to kick back and put my feet up.

So this is the desk exactly where I’ve been sitting every single single day speaking to y’all, not only by means of the blog but now also in the lonely enterprise of book writing exactly where none of you can hear a word I am saying till the books come out. We’ll have a good long chat then, okay?

And due to the fact I know you all would like to don’t forget how crazy this area was in the starting (excuse the mess, eh hem), this was when it was in transition from swine to navy a few years back.

Ultimately, here’s a appear at how the floors flow now among my workplace and the hall. I Enjoy THAT! You can see Lily is hanging out attempting to catch a breeze, it is been genuinely hot here lately! In case you are asking yourself, my printer is on a stand to the right of that plant (I know every person always likes to know exactly where all the practical equipment is, and mine is just right out in the open).

Tomorrow I’ll speak a bit about the new secretary and hutch! PS. Here’s a small blast from the past. This is my desk in our old home when I very first got it in 2008. This desk is nevertheless serving me nicely Note that the lamp on the desk is the exact very same lamp that I now have on my new file drawers with an updated shade, ha! In a connected note, the gold and crystal chandelier in my existing workplace has traveled with me by means of a lot of houses over the years. I genuinely do hold using what I have for years whenever feasible. The rug and cabinet are now in my daughter’s new townhouse. You can see the old home just before and following price range workplace makeover post here!

For a long time I had two dark wood bookcases in my workplace. They held a lot of books, but when I got a couple of new bookcases elsewhere in the house, I decided I didn’t require a ton of books in my workplace. So, the current cabinets weren’t actually all that helpful in there any longer. My workplace is 11 x 11, at the most, so every inch counts. If you missed yesterday’s workplace update post, you can find it here! (PS. If you are not getting your email subscriptions on time or getting two in a row, my apologies! Just functioning out the bugs with the new delivery service!).

What I actually necessary was an additional small work surface and storage for workplace supplies. My dream was to have constructed ins to make the most of the space. But given that constructed ins have been not in the spending budget, I sooner or later just gave up on that notion.

Awhile back my daughter Courtney and I stumbled upon this sweet solid wood secretary and hutch at a neighborhood flea market place (The Vintage Housewife in Poulsbo) and totally fell in adore with it. It was already painted white and sweet as could be–complete with precious hardware.

It was funny since when I initial saw it, I wasn’t even thinking about my workplace. We attempted to believe of exactly where it could go and decided we just didn’t have room for a lot more furnishings. Sadness. We walked a couple of blocks to a coffee shop and as soon as we got our Frappuccinos in hand, it dawned on us. It was the ideal piece for my workplace.

We pretty much skipped all the way back to the shop and prior to we knew it, this little beauty was sitting in our entry waiting for us to have the big bookcases moved. But it was worth the wait and inconvenience!

Now that it is here in my workplace, I’m so excited it is here! We have already discovered a thousand factors why we adore it. Not only does it have fun little slots for notecards and all our paint samples (I adore the little cubbies!), but the glass cabinets are ideal for storing a couple of treasures and books. The drawers are ideal for workplace supplies, too!

Greatest of all, we are in a position to pull the desk down to use as a second desk when we require it. It also works great for our laptop and my girls and I even brought in lunch the other day and utilized it as a table! And to top it off, it adds a fun vintage character to my small eclectic workplace.

Here, here for versatile and cost-effective furnishings!

Nicolo Zavagno’s Pestrin Pendant Lamp Inspired by Venetian Traditions

The shape of the lamp is a reminder of the container used to carry the milk from the &amp#8220pestrin&amp#8221 back to the residence. The use of porcelain and wood needs back to ancient traditions melt with a minimal and modern day style and style with a finish in a multitude of colors, the lamp diffuses warmth in each and every atmosphere.

Dream Home : Mill Valley Residence By CCS Architecture

This beautiful 5,000-square-foot modern house by San Francisco- based firm CCS Architecture  in Mill Valley was designed as a home for an empty-nester couple. The site was the inspiration and the guiding element for the architecture: vast views of Mt. Tamalpais, intimate connections to groves of redwood trees, and a steep incline. Given its location, stepping up the hillside and squeezed between redwoods, the home is stratified into 3 levels.The lower floor is built into the hillside, while the upper 2 are open to daylight and views.

The first floor includes the garage, entry, painting studio, gallery, and guest quarters. The entry is a 2-story space with a staircase leading up to the second floor—the main living level–which connects to the outside with views in many directions. This double-height space, the spatial core of the house, has a large bay of windows focused on a grove of redwood trees just 10 feet away. The top floor contains 2 bedrooms, a home office, and a ramped bridge that leads to anupper yard and pool.

Natural copper is the primary exterior material, wrapping the second floor of the house to emphasize the location of the main living spaces. Walls below the second level are exposed concrete; those above are cement plaster. The interior evokes the feeling of a gallery in the country, with white walls, expanses of glass, and wide-plank oak floors.

Subtle hardware allows the table to expand and collapse

;

When it comes to interior décor, the combination of wood and modern design notions is all too rare. The soft, earthy essence of wood is often perceived to collide with clean-cut modern lines. However, in designing the Extensive Table for dk3, designers Kristoffersen, Søndergaard & Plejdrup created a solid wood table that still espouses the archetypal clean modernist lines. Beech hear2od, oak, wild oak, and walnut are the different wood options used to construct this stunning piece.

This table is perfect for dinner parties

;

The top of the Extensive Table is designed to be folded and expanded with ease. The use of subtle hardware allows it to expand and collapse in an almost effortless mechanical motion. The result is a visually appealing combination of style and thoughtful technology. Extensive embodies more complexity than the regular dining table. If you are looking for a way to gracefully extend your dining space while maintaining the joy of eating together, this table will tastefully serve that purpose.

Which choice of wood will complement your interiors? Oak, walnut, or beech hear2od?

Places & Spaces | Alpine Cabin By Scott & Scott Architects

Nestled in the northern end of Vancouver Island, this alpine cabin was build by Scott & Scott Architects showing off the down-to-earth personality of their work.

Located in the northern end of Vancouver Island, this little cabin is the epitome of a cosy snow cabin. the 100sqm cabin has a small footprint with only 2 bedrooms, a communal living room and kitchen, but it is that combined with the simplicity and materiality that makes this cabin what it is.

The architects, Susan and David Scott, designed and built the cabin on their own, to satisfy their desire of creating something that evolved as it was built rather than sticking to a pre-determined design. A risky approach, but obviously one that worked for this talented architect duo.

But what is most impressive, is their ability to make it fit comfortably within the vast snowy surroundings. The exterior is clad in Cedar with a mass of Douglas Fir on the interior, both used with the intention that the timber will weather over time and become even more integrated with the surroundings. Six Douglas Fir pillars elevate the 2 story cabin off the ground, piercing through each level, really making the space feel as though it has grown on its own accord. To top it off, the cabin is completely off-the-grid, heated only by a wood stove.

What’s Happening | Gerold Miller At Mies Van Der Rohe House, Berlin

Lying someplace in between sculpture, wall surface and room, is the artwork of Gerold Miller, whose perform is at present getting exhibited in the Mies van der Rohe Home in Berlin.

Photographs: Mies van der Rohe Haus Berlin and Mehdi Chouakri Berlin

German born, Gerold Miller’s operate is very best described as minimalist, conceptual and reductive. His radical strategy goes beyond the normal conventions of sculpture and art, both in kind and colour, by exploring transitions of inner and outer space.

The exhibition nonetheless is not just a show of the artists work, it is a dialogue among the art and the architecture, within and outside, culture and nature. The Mies van der Rohe Haus, created and created for Karl Lemke in 1932 on the shore of Lake Obersee, is a model for modern minimalist architecture that links the exterior with the interior to generate a fluid expertise. Combined with Miller’s operate, the house and wall surfaces turn into a newly defined room.

The function Gerold Miller chose to exhibit was clearly in response to the area and place, the colours seemingly in tune with the surrounding nature. two six-metre, gold laquered panels, developed in particular for the exhibition for the major wall of the property, emphasises both the 2D surface and the 3D space, and is also in form with the smaller sized particulars of the house, the bronze door handles.  The room really gets to be a conversation between artwork and architecture.

The exhibition can be seen from the 8th of June to the 14th of September.

Personal computer Residence by Kengo Kuma and Associates

The Laptop Home by Kengo Kuma and Associates is merely stunning. Not that I know a great deal about the Japanese culture but I do know that I actually like their minimal strategy to design and type. This house is so minimally considered out but at the exact same time there are some remarkable textures going on in the architecture of the home. I don&amp#8217t know if these corrugated walls are smoothed out concrete but they optimistic appear like polished concrete. All of the wood textures and patterns ad warmth to the otherwise sparse property.

I was so struck with&amp#8230really a loss for phrases as I looked by way of the performs of Vonn Sumner. I adore the characters altering personas with a easy prop. Some of my favorites are the works that have a monochromatic really feel to them. I would presume that Vonn is residing out some of his imagination by means of his perform as most of these topics appear relatively comparable to himself. I also enjoy the restraint when it come to color blocking and leaving the concentrate to one distinct topic.

Super-Soft Chairs Swallow You In Cushions, Then Bounce Back

There is absolutely nothing comfier than sinking into a soft, cushiony chair that seems to swallow your physique as you sit in it. Designer Véronique Baer produced a line of chairs called Bounce that do just what the name guarantees: they bounce back into shape following supporting your entire body.

There are 3 chairs in the series. The first and greatest is a mushroom-shaped chair known as Anton. It is developed to help the back and sides of the individual sitting in it, enabling the sitter to sink into its soft cushion.

The second is a dome-shaped seat known as Christine. It is a bit smaller sized but just as soft and welcoming as Anton. The final and smallest is Olaf. The series is made so all three chairs can be lined up and utilised at the identical time, with Anton supporting the body, Christine holding up the legs and Olaf delivering a comfy footrest.

The stools have been all created to give equal support from all sides, lacking a front or a back. They are created of two pieces of soft foam glued together and covered with soft quilted upholstery.

Supporting the stools are 4 sturdy oak legs. They give every single piece a minimalist base to nicely offset the soft, squishy tops. The Bounce collection was presented at the Blickfang Designworkshop in June 2014.

Deep violets and a Day bed!

Casual, relaxed, capturing elegant simplicity and the down to earth charm that is what we always wanted to achieve at home. A world of color, textures, unique décor and warm hospitality too. If you are looking for something like that, you’ve come to the right place. The furniture at home are  quite simple and old! We love the old fragrance and the old wood and the good old  dents in these furniture.

Our style at home has evolved over the years. As the place is rented..much focus goes for the furniture at our home. I love mixing textures and neutrals but adding just a touch of color and mostly  pastel shades. A pop of colour definitely will be there from the flowers.

The  taste for textures change with seasons’too..And the “day bed” at home has helped me to keep my love for cushions and seasons  at home alive. The day bed also has changed with our priorities..It was the first piece of furniture that we got made .. it didn’t have legs and was flat earlier .. and then one Diwali we decided to give it legs to give it some height and elegance.. and on goes the story of the day bed!

Bedspreads, cushion covers or an old quilt thrown on the day bed,  gives a cozy effect to the room. Can you all imagine the deep sense of tranquility and contentment that the day bed brings us?

Always having loved the  unique texture of old natural wood and  the simple details, many months ago we saw a wooden patterned screen in one of the dilapidated corners of the furniture market and the decision was impulsive to get it back home and give it a new life. As the decision was impulsive, the thought next was where to place it? And now there it stands behind the day bed!

To sum up, a small space with its furniture and accessories that has a feeling of simplicity and warmth..An eclectic comfortable space surrounded by warm colours..Absolutely simple in design. 

(Not that we had so much space in our small home..but we didn’t want that amazing piece to lose its life in the corner of a market:)

Brigitte Singh..an Inspiration

I never thought I would live so close to Jaipur:)- Each travel brings us closer to Jaipur  as of now umpteen travels being made.Exploring the nooks and crannies of Jaipur still remains a lot more ..Any time you go to Jaipur there’s always a touristy feel :)-Anybody who knows me knows about my love towards Blockprinting..There isn’t any place to store any linens/quilts of blockprinting at home currently.

All craftisans  who does Blockprinting Nationally and Internationally..i salute them and they are all inspiration for me in one way or the other..But there comes some names which we have first heard of and the love towards them remains the “first love” And such a  name is “Brigitte Singh”..You think of Blockprinting and then you think of “Brigitte Singh”.Her textiles known internationally,everyone is in awe of her designs and she herself has discovered and revived tradtitions in textiles.

Brigette Singh came to India 25 years ago and stayed on to revive textile traditions.There’ s nothing intriguing about a foreigner setting up base in India under the “world-has-shrunk-to-a-global-village” reality. But 25 years ago, Brigette Singh, a French national was one of a kind, as she trudged through the streets of Sanganer, the hand-block printing hub of Jaipur, seeking to discover and revive traditions in textiles.

She first came to Jaipur at the end of 70′s to study the art of miniature painting with an Indian Master,fell in love with and married his son, and made her home in Amber. She then became fascinated by India’s rich textile heritage and the art of woodblock printing which had declined since its zenith in the C18th. Her workshop in Amber now produces an exquisite range of clothes, furnishings and accessories which are renowned worldwide and all produced under her personal supervision.

Modern Rustic...

I love design based on purity and function.  

I have always struggled with concepts that are trend-driven and over-designed… it’s wasteful in my opinion.  Trends are always changing.  

What ever happened to real-life, purity and function?!

This home located in London is the perfect example of a beautiful, simple — paired-down design that reminds me of the Scandinavian countryside.
