Late Night Computing for October 18, 2012 packs quite a punch tonight.

After watching the new Avengers release on Blu-Ray last week, I've been in the mood for a good comic book game. Freedom Force by Irrational Games itches that gaming urge just right. I played the original to death, but never got around to second Freedom Force vs. The Third Reich. Time to fix that! Here's hoping the sequel is as good as the original.

• "Dota 2 dudes. I've had the beta for a while now and I'm finally starting to play it some more. I'm getting comfortable with a few heroes, but I never know the correct order to invest skill points and what items to buy. Do you guys find that the guides on this site to be pretty good?

• "Diablo 3. Wasn't sure how it would work out, but you can carry more than one Infernal Machine at a time. I've got two in my stash right now, and will probably just keep farming them until anyone here wants to attempt a higher MP uber boss instance. Anyone here ever attempt the ubers? Are the bosses randomly chosen each time a portal is created?." [by freak!]
