DOTA 2

If there's a genre that truly exploits the G13 capabilities is no doubt the RTS/MMOxxx games. Whether you play LoL or WoW, this device makes it all so much easier.

I've built this profile according to my own needs, so it might not suite yours, but I think you will like it.

Pictures say all. Current profile lacks controls for units so if you like to play with Chen or other creep hypnotists you will have to add a few commands. I'll get to it later, it's not very difficult but I wanted to post this as soon as possible.
It follows my usual formula: thumb moves the camera and the rest of the fingers cast spells. If you're left-handed, you'll probably want to change the position of some keys but that's up to you.

Profiles compilation

So the FBI really screwed the blog. 
First of all, sorry for taking so long to upload the profiles. It wasn't my intention but my family and job take all my time now and I can't write new entries as often as I'd like to.


I uploaded almost all the profiles I had in my computer into a single file. Some of them were just WIP files, not ment to be published, but I didn't want to lose much time trying to figure out which profiles were ok and which ones were not.
So I apologize for the inconvenience this might cause to you.
This is the link:

Please tell me if it goes down and I'll try to find another service (what a shame, MU was so good). 


I will keep writing profiles as often as I can but I'm not sure about how to upload them. Perhaps from now on I can copy the XML code into the blog as a backup - I don't know yet.


Thank you very, very much for your support and for caring about this blog. I was about to quit but knowing that some of you really appreciate this has decided me to keep writing.
So thank you very, very much. The game is not over yet!

Just Cause 2

Today's profile is:

 This game is amazing, there are lots of things to do and lots of goodies and extras to be found. 
The game is lots of fun, you can blow many things and in fact the game expects you to blow up lots of stuff.


However, there is an issue with controls on PC. 
Being this a Steamworks title, you can activate Steam's layout by pressing Shift+Tab at the same time. 
However, this game uses, by default "Shift" for running and "Tab" for dodging. This means if you try to run and dodge at the same time you will bring Steam's overlay. 


I strongly recommend you to change the in-game settings so Dodging uses any other key than tab. In this profile I'm using default settings, so the profile uses Shift to run and Tab to dodge. I'm doing this to make the profile compatible with default controls but you can change the keys, and in fact, I recommend you to change them.


So let's have a look at the layout:

 Weapons are changed using the stick. I also added the Grappling button to the stick so you can use it while moving (the standard "F" position means you can't move to the right and use the hook at the same time).
The same goes for Dodging and Handbrake. I placed them close to the stick so you can press them while moving. 
I placed the merc close to the ESC button to avoid pressing it accidentally during hot shootings.
The rest is pretty much obvious.

Modern Warfare 3

Today's game is:

It's quite similar to other MW profiles so there should be little surprises.
So far I only played the campaign so perhaps the layout is not the most suitable for multiplayer games. Anyway, if you don't want it, you can use the command list to customize your own layout :)


Here's the one I'm using right now:

It's quite simple.

The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena (and Escape from Butcher Bay)

Today's profile is:

 I got this game during a Steam sale and it's one of the best deals I've ever gotten. The game is awesome. Escape from Butcher Bay is older and the graphics look a bit dated, but the gameplay is great and the gaming experience is awesome. I really recommend it to you.

This is the layout:

Not very complicated. The arrows come in handy when browsing the menus, and specially in Dark Athena during the dialogs.
There's not much more to say so here's the link:

Battlefield 3

Today's game is:

First of all: This profile has been made using the actual (4 October 2011) beta. I have not been able to play Caspian Border so I don't have any experience with vehicles. I have included the keys to change seats but there isn't a dedicated profile for vehicles.
I only made a profile for infantry. Vehicle bindings will be very similar but I just felt the need to state this.


Now, I only played a few games so the profile might need some polishing but it seems ok for now.


Here is the layout:

He he, I already was missing cramped layouts with tons of keys.
The full command list is much longer. There are interesting novelties, check them out!

Hard Reset

Today's game is:

 This is one of the best games I've ever played. Good old violent fun!.
Hard Reset is an old school shooter that takes place in a cyberpunk atmosphere.
It's kind of Doom meets Blade Runner.
If you like FPS games and you didn't hear about Hard Reset, I strongly recommend you to get the demo. The game is just great!


This is the profile I'm using for HR:

Keys G6 and G13 are the mouse's scroll wheel. Controls are simple but do their job pretty good.
