  1. Dota Today 2: The Lord's Pitch

    The courier is really not that complicated, click the donkey face, grab all, hit F to deliver. On control groups...I never use them honestly. I just remapped keys like you said. It is going to take time to learn things though, no avoiding that. While the games are similar in a lot of ways, you still have the learning curve you had starting LoL. Learning what heros do and what items do just take time, or a lot of reading if you're crazy. For the most part, the recommended items are perfectly fine, there's only a select few heros where I go in a completely different direction. I basically just dove into dota 2, never read a guide. Kept playing. That said I won my first 10 games or so and then got HORRIBLY MURDERED for a while. I am someone who played LoL for a couple years and then just dove into dota 2 hard when I got my beta invite. It felt like relearning how to walk early on. I think part of what drove me though was my incredible sense of boredom with LoL, where in Dota I was learning new things constantly and was more satisfied because of that.
  2. Steam Trading Card

    I actually forgot this existed, and I'm in the beta. Not the sort of thing I care about really.
  3. I thought it was 4/5?
  4. I seem to always the one who brings up LoL, but it's the best example of the surrender vote. Rarely playing that do I run into someone that quits because a surrender vote fails. Most of the time they will keep playing no matter how futile it seems. Sure once in a while you get a prick that either leaves or screws around. I think it's worth that small chance to get a surrender vote feature in dota so less time is wasted.
  5. In my experience it's not as bad as your cods. Both lol and dotas report features seem to be working as far as less people being total dicks. It happens occasionally, but it's not rampant.
  6. yea brink was fun, there were parts of maps that were good, but overall the design not so fun, especially the indoor maps.
  7. While I haven't actually seen it, they gave omni an agh's upgrade, making his ult global and affect buildings. Seems like a huge one
  8. Listening now, on being insulted: I love when people try to call you a nerd as an insult. It's gorgeous. I'm supposed to be hurt when being called that when we're both playing not only a video game, but a ridiculously complicated one that is on a pc. You can't get nerdier than that.
  9. Fez 2

    I haven't played Fez at all, but that trailer is brilliant
  10. E3 2013 Idle Thumbs Steam Chat

    That's pretty brilliant.
  11. Weird Medical Shit

    Human air freshener?
  12. Mirror's Edge 2. I'm not even fucking joking.

    It's dangerous to go alone, take this. *camera pans to a pair of nike airs*
  13. Mirror's Edge 2. I'm not even fucking joking.

    I'd rather it be punchy than gun-y... we'll see. I appreciate a lot of what the first did, but fuck did I hate the guns and the story.
  14. Movie/TV recommendations

    Well, I still haven't watched Sherlock and think Star Trek needed more Cumberbatch. He was the best part of the movie and wasn't in it nearly as much as he should have been.
  15. Game of Thrones (TV show)

    Eat, drink, and be merry
  16. Game of Thrones (TV show)

    I believe they said each book from storm of swords on will be 2 seasons each about, with some events being moved around with feast and dance being at the same time chronologically.
  17. Dota Today 2: The Lord's Pitch

    thankfully! I either lose horribly or dominate as ck, never an inbetween.
  18. Dota Today 2: The Lord's Pitch

    In Lol once, I had turn down a friend's invite because I was in a full group, we got matched against said friend. I had to lane against him, just in case there weren't hurt feelings yet.
  19. Dota Today 2: The Lord's Pitch

    Complete aside, weird that when I queued with a couple random idlethumbs channel people, we randomly got matched with you.
  20. Dota Today 2: The Lord's Pitch

    Everyone should go through the experience of 3 russians swearing at you. It can be incredibly magical. Once I took a rune that I thought our russian mid wasn't grabbing. Boy was I wrong! He screamed at me for a minute straight over voip in russian, then suddenly screamed "MCDONALDS COCA-COLA!!!!" at the end of his rant. I could not stop laughing.
  21. Well, ff 12 had almost exactly the same combat system as ff 11, the mmo. I was able to go from having played 11, to beating a boss for my sister without ever touching 12 because it was the same thing. I never actually played through 12 because it really felt like playing 11 and by that point I was sick of that.
  22. DOTA 2

    destroying enemy team with all global ults
  23. I Had A Random Thought...

    As far as I'm concerned, anything goes in this thread. Clownpenis.fart
  24. Dota Today 2: The Lord's Pitch

    Like the girl describing star wars having not seen it?
  25. I Had A Random Thought...

    I'm expecting detailed play by play of your mature shits, where you wear a monacle and extend your pinky while pooping.
